I always wear Aasics!Playing pickleball, I go through the tread on a pair of court shoes in about three months. I've bought and liked several Asics brand models, but not this one. I have narrow feet that typically fit just fine in size 7 shoes, which is what I chose. The top of the toe box has the material concentrated together so that the toe box is really tight. I tried loosening the laces in order to survive a few hours of play, but have to immediately take them off afterwards. Except for the tiniest toe box I've ever seen in a size 7 court shoe, they are great: nice tread and fabric, good color and otherwise comfortable, but I will never buy this model of court shoe again.I loved Asics from about three years ago. I used to get the Speed Solutions and Gel Resolutions. Then the toe box became too tight with all plastic around the toe so couldn't stretch. I switched to KSwiss but they are too loose and kept losing toenails from sliding around too much so decided to try Asics again as i heard they improved. Just bought these Speed Solution FF and they were tight out of the box where the shoe laces start so i loosened them up there but kept laces snug at the ankle and they felt fine while playing, but the outside of my pinky toes are sore where the calusses are which haven't hurt in years... Still figuring this out.I really like the shoes, they were good snug fit and almost felt too tight but after wearing them around the house for a couple hours, they were great. They just needed a little breaking in. They felt great on the court,, light weight, I can move quickly and aggressively, with full support.These shoes provide out-of-the-box comfort plus the support I need for racquet sports. The toe box is wide, which suits my foot. Reasonably durable.For some reason these ran small. I have always gotten a size 6. Never varies. But this size 6 makes my toes hurt & throb. Wore them 3x and each time had issues. I have them at the shoe repair to be stretched. I hope that works. Suggest go up at least a 1/2 size if you are playing a court sport.Daughter says the fit is comfortable and not too hard of a shoe...probably middle of the road as far as soft/hard scale.This was a replacement for my teenage daughter who plays on the high school tennis team. She liked the first pair so we bought another when the old ones wore out (after more than a year of heavy play). Good choice!I am a big fan of Asic's shoes for tennis. They have good support and feel comfortable and are good quality. The pair I bought last year had a drop for space in the toe, I think. Also, in my experience, the quality of tennis shoes declines every year regardless of the brand. These are good. I will continue to buy them.I really wanted to love these but I just couldn’t. I’ve never had runners fit so tightly (I have always been the same shoe size) around the front and top of the foot and yet my heel constantly slipped out the back, which tore up the back of my heel quite badly. However, I am very happy to report that upon advising the seller, they are refunding my purchase, which I really appreciate.Loved them but to tight across the toes... Hated to send them back..Chaussures en plastique. Très déçu.The stock was returnedLe produit à été retourné beaucoup trop étroit
