Great looking shoe but for $220 retail you are paying for the designer because you are not getting a quality insole or footbed. The thin, hard insole went in the trash and replaced with a Dr. Scholls Comfort insole which makes the shoe useable. It also gave it a little more arch support and slight heel raise. Without it the shoe is so flat so your foot slaps the pavement like a clown shoe. In the same price range I also bought the K-Swiss Pinnacle Lava. which actually feels like a premium shoe, soft underfoot, no mods needed.

I really enjoyed how fast this was for me to break in and start fully playing in without issue. I have played with k-swiss, Wilson rush pro 4.5s and other asics shoes before this, but for me personally this shoe has felt amazing so far, they are soft and comfortable, lots of stability in the ankle. Overall just very good for actually playing tennis. The laces are a bit awkward and I almost broke them because with the way they are sideways, they were very much in the way when I was sliding on hard court, but they withstood it. If this shoe just had straight laces but everything else was the same it would be a perfect shoe to me.

Runs small. I suggest ordering one half size up.

After 3 years of Asics Resolution 9 these feel way more comfortable, especially the toe box but they run half a size small. The heel support is great and the angled lacing is ok .Very low to the ground and flexible thanks to the upper mesh and I got the clay version which usually helps with that too.

Bought these after trying out the new asics resolution shoe and these fit so much better and feel more secure. They feel great now that I've worn them a few times too.
