ASICS

GEL-Dedicate 7 Tennis Shoe

Women's

These look like Asics knock offs. Like $10.00 plastic shoes. I'm shocked as I own 10 pairs of Asics. These are cheap looking and smaller than my usual size. Terrible!!

Love Asics, but my most recent pair was a model that absolutely trashed my feet. I went looking for the pair I had that I loved, but it's no more. This looked like a similar pair so I gave it a try. I love the toe box, it's pretty wide up top and feels very roomy. Shoes fit snugly on feet, and no breaking in required. Wish they came in more fun and funky colors. And please, Asics, put longer laces in your shoes! I can barely tie one loop. Kind of ridiculous!

First impressions, they looked and felt small. But that's because the cushioning all around the foot and ankle is quite thick. This compresses down after awhile. So it does run true to size. I re-laced and skipped a set of holes to accommodate my high arch. These feel great on the tennis court - no slippage. I recommend cushioned athletic socks to prevent blisters if you play hard. I find my feet are really sweaty after 90 mins of play. I'm usually a runner in minimalist shoes, so these felt really high drop and stiff but that's what you need for tennis. Good value for $70.

Good support. Fits true to size and width. Performs well for platform tennis.
