ASICSMen's Gel-Rocket 9 Volleyball Shoes

My son currently wears a 7 and is nearing a 7.5. Most of the reviews said the shoe runs large, so instead of getting a 7.5 in anticipation of his feet growing more throughout the season, we got a 7. It fits great and there is still a little room in the toe. The sole has great grip and good flexibility. The insole is fine, not too thin. I'll see how well they hold up throughout the season, which begins in a few weeks. Overall, my son says the shoe feels great and I'm thrilled. It's a great price considering I was going to purchase a similar pair at Dick's Sporting Good for more than double the cost of this shoe.

At last! The perfect outdoor pickleball shoe: extremely comfortable, good support, colors that will strike fear in your opponents, reasonably priced for old folks on fixed incomes. Oh... and traction? 'Cause your traction done lost its action?Did I hear traction? Do you want traction, me hearties? I will give you traction.... in these Asics Gel Rocket 9's.I switch off with another pair of Asics now more than 2 years old. (My other PB sneakers, made by another company whose name starts with "A", wore out. Ha on them).If you play outdoor pickleball, these sneakers are well worth it.

I have about 25 hours of play in these shoes, and they feel and look great. Grippy but not grabby, and pretty light, I have no complaints about them on the court. The part of the upper right around the sole on the toe, however, seems to be wearing much faster than the rest of the shoe.

Used these shoes just a couple of times so far. Use for playing Pickleball (exclusively) once indoors once outdoors. Traction was very good on both surfaces. My toes did not jamb into the front end like they can in some shoes. Probably the best thing was that I did not think about my feet while playing, even the first time wearing these. I did notice that there doesn't seem to be as much cushion as some shoes, but the fit, stability and support are very good.

Started playing pickleball in the spring and needed court shoes. These had a good look and decent reviews. Ended up sending these back for the solid, black - just a visual decision Liked the black ones so much I bought a second pair for reserve. Holding up well after 6 months, playing an average of 3-4 times per week. Also wear them as casuals. Big fan of the Ascics Brand now

Only had them for a week, but I ordered them online after not playing volleyball for near 20 years. Ordered my size and they fit like a glove. Thank you Asics for being so damned reliable. You know you are going to get a good shoe, and their sizing doesn't change. I wouldn't trust any other shoe manufacturer enough to order shoes online.

Comfortable, durable and affordable. ASICS are my go to shoe for competitive indoor volleyball. They provide great cushioning especially since I’m a bigger player (6’2” and 250lbs). I wish they’d go back to the gel rocket 7s those were perfect, but these are still far superior to the 8s. They lack some arch support, but otherwise they are great.

i play raquetball...3-5 times per week...these are the best shoes and great price...they lasted 1 year...other shoes last six months....i beat my shoes to deathe playing raquetball....
