The GEL-DEDICATE® 8 tennis shoe offers good stability and a flexible feel to keep your mind centered during the match. This shoe’s upper is constructed with synthetic leather overlays to improve support. They keep your feet locked-in when you’re switching directions and chasing down challenging shots. A TRUSSTIC® support unit and wrap-up outsole improve stability while allowing your feet to move freely. This lets you change directions more confidently, particularly if you’re moving side-to-side.

Good Value – Comfortable
Rating: âââââ (5/5)These tennis shoes are great, especially for the price. While they donât last super long, if you play as frequently as I do, no tennis shoe really does. Theyâre very comfortable, and the sizes are accurate, which is always a plus.I particularly like the built-in arch supportâit really makes a difference. The laces are short enough that they donât come undone during a match, which is a huge bonus. On top of that, they look cool. Overall, an excellent pair of shoes for regular players.

Good value for money
Good tennis shoes for the price. I found them comfortable, stylish, and played many great games in them. However, they only lasted about 6 months, playing 2-3 times per week (see attached photo of outsoles). Still, I donât think any tennis shoe would last more than 1 year at this rate of play. If you go through 2 pairs of these in 1 year, you spent about $140 on shoes for the year â which is honestly not bad. I think of it as the cost of playing tennis.

Very comfortable inexpensive pickleball shoes.
I wore these shoes for the first time last week in Florida and I was blown away. They are so comfortable from the start. I felt like Iâve been wearing these for awhile. Only I just got them. Truly amazing. They hugged my feet nicely and I was able to maneuver around the courts with no tripping or sliding. This ASICS shoe is top notch in my book. I played for 4 days straight and the shoes performed very well. I recommend highly. I donât know how long they will last but I must say this. The 4 days I played on the hot court for 2 hrs a day left no scars on the shoes. Look as new as I got them. This is def a 5 star purchase. Also, I have a wide foot and I wear a 7.5w or an 8. These shoes are not wide so I decided to try anyway in a size 8. Wow. They fit me like a glove. Snug at first but after playing the first round they broke in quick. I recommend buying your size as well. You can always go up another in the return dept. But ya may get lucky on the first shot as these shoes are forgiving. This is a solidly good purchase. Good luck to all.

Too narrow, could not get refund.
It was a busy holiday season and I was only able to try on the sneakers in the new year. They were uncomfortable. I only tried them on in the house – so they are unused with the tags still attached. I reached out to ASICS because it FOUR DAYS past their 90 day return window. They refused my request for a return for full refund. Now I have a pair of brand new sneakers with tags still attached that I cannot wear. This is the only ASICS sneakers I own and will not shop them ever again. ASICS is not a customer-based company that is willing to consider exceptions on a case by case basis – so be warned and shop accordingly.

This is my third pair of the Asics Mens Dedicate Pickleball shoe and I keep buying them for their comfort and support when I play. Highly recommended and lots of colours to choose from. Much lower risk of rolling an ankle in this type of sport specific shoe.
