Fit and Comfort

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

The shoes arrived as advertised, on time and correct size. I am 6' 2", 240lb male and these shoes are standing up to my weight as I hoped. I used to buy Asics exclusively when I was younger and this pair was my first pair of Asics in decades. In the past I used to pay the premium price for them and if anything went wrong with them I would have been able to return them to my local retailer (never had issues with Asics). These shoes are definitely produced with lesser quality materials and the stitching on them looks less tight. However, I believe they will last me one year of competitive volleyball playing, so I will not mind buying another pair for this price if I need to. If they last two seasons of playing, even better! :) The shoes are stable and offer awesome control due to the grip surface at the front of the shoe (the yellow rubber). Torsion resistance of the mid-sole offers perfect support for my weight and style of game (I can't stand still, hardly ever flat-footed on the ground) Sizing was spot on fit for my foot (size 13). My foot is wider than most but these shoes, even though they were not the "wide fit", fit my foot very comfortably. They were broken in during a three hour evening of volleyball pick up games and did not create any pressure points or discomfort at all. The shoe inserts that came in this shoe provide decent support, but will most likely be replaced with a gel insert. My hat is off to the producers of this shoe for the look, control, comfort and fit, I just hope they last this season. I will update this review in a few weeks again.

Unsure about size, but fit perfect

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is my first pair of volleyball shoes that I've ever purchased, even though I've played for nearly 10 years. I've own Asics before for running, so I knew how they typically run for sizing. My feet are 9.5/10 in Nikes, but when I had my previous pair of Asics, the 9.5 was a little wide. Knowing this, I went onto their website and actually measured my foot and sized it with their chart. When I did this, I was able to accurately size my foot to a 9.5. Once these came in, I threw them on and they fit perfectly. My feet are hard to size in general, so I was pleasantly shocked that they fit so well. I had about a thumbs width at the toe and the width was perfect (and true to size according to their size chart).

As for feel during movements, I can't express how comfortable they are when landing/lateral movement. When going for digs, kills, and sets, it responds seamlessly. Traction is never an issue, unless the court is dirty. The wide flared edge helps when moving along the net and quick change of directions off tips.

Overall, this shoe great (I went with the red, white, and blue combo) and performs even better. I would definitely recommend this shoe to any beginner or higher level player. As a setter, this shoe does everything I need it to do plus more.

Amazon size chart is incorrect

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

I can only comment on Size 13. So maybe this post will help someone else with large feet.

In ASICS shoes Size 13 is 48 European, not 46. I have always purchased ASICS and knew that their size 13 was correct for me so I never looked at the size chart.

A problem resulted when I ordered a size 13 from another brand of shoes and received a 46. There is a big difference between a 46 and a 48. The I was not sure what was going on and spent quite a while with a nice Amazon guy from India and eventually decided to try this shoe in size 13 just because that is what I have ordered before. And the shoes are wonderful for indoor pickleball and probably just about any other indoor sport. They probably will be fine outdoors too but I don't generally go outside for pickleball.

I don't know if other sizes are messed up except 15 in ASICS cannot be 48. I don't know where the sizes start to get messed up. Both the shoes and the box clearly state size 13 as size 48 for ASICS for this shoe.

Excellent shoes. They are right when they say the shoes makes a difference. My knee was hurting when I did any sort of running, climbing stairs, etc. I figured that I would try to play badminton with a brace and these shoes. I play for 2 hours a week. I used the brace once with these shoes and had no issues with my knee. The next time forgot to bring the brace and tried playing. Surprisingly, I felt comfortable without a brace and my knee didn’t hurt as expected. After about a month of playing without a brace and these shoes, I can actually run after shots and bend my knees to get the low shots. These shoes changed my perception on my joint health and got me back into playing.

After a little more than a month I already feel my game improved to how it was when I was 30 (20 years ago). My goal is to get back to when how I was playing when I was 20.

My wife gets the credit here since she said it’s better to spend less than hundred on shoes than spending thousands on surgery.

Beware...some shoes are mis-labeled for size

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2019

Size: 12Color: White/Black/SilverVerified Purchase

I'll start by saying I really like these shoes for indoor pickleball. They work well and grip the hardwood floor very well. My complaint probably has nothing to do with the supplier I'm guessing, but should be noted. I wear a size 11.5 men's tennis shoe. I ordered these Asic shoes in size 11.5 and when they arrived, they looked small and fit like I was putting on a pair of size 10 even though they were marked appropriately. So I sent the first pair back and ordered size 12.5 figuring they run small. When they arrived, they were too big. So I sent them back but then I had a dilemma of what size to order next. I ordered a 12 thinking I didn't want to get another mis-labeled size 11.5. The size 12 's fit okay, maybe a little roomy but cinching the laces tight takes care of that.

Through all of this frustration, the Amazon ordering and return service was outstanding.

I have been playing squash for a very long time. And I always went for a very expensive shoes. Artic least that's what I thought. But these shoes. War on sale with this colour combination and I got it for almost seventy Canadian dollars. . Really fits well, and I did not see any difference from other. Expensive shoes.

Der Schuh ist viel zu klein (42 statt 45), möglicherweise auch meine Schuld.
Die Rückgabe scheiterte. Ich sollte TNT einen genauen Tag mit Uhrzeit nennen, habe sicherheitshalber 4 Tage mit Zeitkorridor genannt. Ergebnis: nichts. Der Händler bot mit DHL Retoure an, da ich das Paket dann abgeben kann. Ich habe zugesagt zugesagt, Ergebnis: keine DHL-Retoure (zum ausdrucken und aufkleben) erhalten. Sitze auf den Schuhen jetzt herum.
