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.
Made the switch because I'm not a fan of the new footbed on the Gel Res. So far loving the shoe. Break-in was quick and painless, I feel very secure on the court from day 1 (I slipped a couple of times when the gel resolutions were new). However, with just three weeks of play and just one competitive tournament, the laces broke in half. There was no fraying or warning sign, just a snap. Would buy again, but wither replace laces or keep spares in your bag.
