ASICSMen's Gel-Dedicate 8 Tennis Shoes

My son wore the ASICS Men’s Gel Dedicate 8 tennis shoes for his matches, and they’ve been excellent in every way. The traction on the court is top-notch, giving him the grip he needs for quick stops and fast direction changes. They offer great stability, especially during lateral movements, which really helps with agility and overall performance during play.In terms of comfort, the GEL cushioning provides solid support, even during long matches or practice sessions. The shoes also feel durable—they’ve held up well under frequent use, and the construction seems built to last. Plus, the style is sleek and modern, and he loves how they look on and off the court.Overall, these shoes have helped him play more confidently and comfortably. Great choice for any tennis player who values performance and style. We would have purchased them again, however they were not available when he needed them.

These shoes get the job done on the court with solid support and grip. They’re not the most comfortable pair I’ve worn, but they’re still good overall, especially for the price. A reliable option if you need tennis shoes that perform well without breaking the bank.

Good fit, comfortable and good traction. My second pair of ASICS for pickleball with no complaints.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)These tennis shoes are great, especially for the price. While they don’t last super long, if you play as frequently as I do, no tennis shoe really does. They’re very comfortable, and the sizes are accurate, which is always a plus.I particularly like the built-in arch support—it really makes a difference. The laces are short enough that they don’t 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.

Can't beat the price. Very stable and very comfortable. I play 4-5 hours per week on clay and hard courts. I also like these in the gym. I like the white with saxon green. My size is usually 11 or 11.5. I tried both. In these I'm an 11.5. The only odd thing is the material on the top off the shoes (near the toes) makes a little crinkling sound when you first wear them. I think this has dissipated with time. Will buy again.

Good fit and stability but wish it had better insole for comfort. Tread wore out after less than 5 months. Not sure if that’s good or bad so I’ll try another shoe to compare.

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 don’t 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 — which is honestly not bad. I think of it as the cost of playing tennis.
