Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Game 9 Tennis Shoe - DELETED

I am a beginner 6 weeks into taking group tennis lessons and tried out 5 pairs of tennis shoes via Zappos after reading many comments that shoes are more important than racquets at this stage. As a 40-year-old woman, who also goes to the gym and enjoys running, I can't afford an ankle injury, so took the search for shoes very seriously. Of the five pairs I tried, the Asics Gel-Game 9 was the pair I decided to keep. I got my usual size 7.5 in all pairs and despite my slightly wide feet, the Gel-Game 9 fit well. It's more snug around my foot than I would usually wear in a pair of off-court shoes, but I think that works well for stability while playing tennis. I liked the ventilation, which no other pair of tennis shoes I tried offered, of the Gel-Game 9 as well as the light weight and flexibility. I also chose the Gel-Game 9 for the roominess in the toes and for the slim profile and attractive aesthetics. I got the white/gris blue and feel it will be easy to match to most workout clothes. The low profile of the shoe gives a lot of room for maneuvering at the ankles, but feels like you sacrifice a bit of stability. If stability were my only priority, I would have gone with the Gel-Dedicate 7, which has more coverage of the foot and has a stiffer more padded upper than gives tons of stability, though I think would be hotter on the feet and possibly harder to move quickly around the court. I also tried and liked the Asics Solution Swift FF and thought they looked even better and were the most flexible of the shoes I tried, but had less toe room and ventilation than the Gel-Game 9.

Very happy with my purchase of these ASICS! I do need to ensure I have enough room in the toe box and also that I have arch and heel support. I tried the shoes on and all sign were good. I then played 2 singles matches on hardcourts over a 3 day span. It was amazing - no foot pain or heel issues in the days following. Supportive and comfortable shoe, grippy on the court, enough room for my foot to not feel pushed/pressure from too narrow of a width (which has never been an issue until tennis.) Incredibly happy with these shoes!

I tried six different pairs of ASICS tennis shoes and these were by far my favorite. Here’s what I liked: roomy toe box (nice for the lovely bunion I seem to be developing), cut low enough so my apparently “low ankles” don’t chafe, very lightweight with nice side to side stability, no heel slippage and my size 9.5 medium feet don’t look enormous. Played three times since purchase and my feet feel great. Bought two more pairs so I have backups!

I love these shoes for my tennis game, but the top right shoe has a small hole in it after only wearing them four times. Really disappointed, because I have had other ASICS that lasted me for years.

I will no longer be buying Asics tennis shoes. There is no quality control in the making of their product. One pair of shoes I ordered was too large and the other too small. I have been wearing Asics for tennis for years. I will be finding a new brand.

The sneaker material is terrible. It started to tear at seam within a few weeks of wearing them 1-2x/week

I ordered a half size up to accomodate my orthotics. These shoes look smaller than my addidas, but there is more room in the toe box, which is what I needed. They are light and comfortable right out of the box.

Is my daughter's new favorite shoe! Great quality and fit.

Excellent. Comfy from the get-go.

Lightweight. Just what I wanted

Fit well. Lightweight.

Very nice and very good price

Very comfortable and well priced

Great fit and look!

I have problem feet and these are my third pair. Removeable insole means there is enough space for my bulky custom orthotic which is key for me (its a dealbreaker if I can't fit it in). I play regularly on hard courts and clay and they hold up great on both surfaces. Just the right amount of slide on clay too. The soles on my last pair did not last a full year, but given that I play a couple of times a week I suppose that's probably par for the course.

I tried about 20 different shoes and these finally worked! Looking for pickleball shoes in a narrow is very hard to find. Stylish narrow shoes in general are not easy to find. These slipped slightly in the heel but after I used the "racer's lock", that solved the problem. I will try them out and if everything works out, will buy a backup pair.

This shoe is very comfortable and supportive. It's also attractive on the foot with both athletic wear as well as street clothes.

Great shoes. Flexible and comfortable. Light weight and nice look.

Felt a little smaller and narrower than usual. I've been playing tennis in Asics for 20 years.
