ASICSMen's Gel-Rocket 10 Indoor Court Shoes

I'm a larger fellow. 6-2 and just under 300lbs. I'm trying to get in better shape and do a ton of gym work: free weights, group fitness classes, etc. Believe it or not, I also love tennis. Shoes made for actual tennis players have gone postal in terms of prices. I used to wear Nike, Babolat, Wilson, Prince, etc. because they are made for tennis, but most are priced $100+ these days. So I started looking for alternatives. After buying and returning a couple of pairs, I got these. Not looking back. My feet used to feel bruised after a good workout. The pounding in the gym or on a tennis court is pretty extreme for heavier fellows like myself. I figured, if any shoe would endure that kind of semi-constant impact, maybe volleyball shoes would. And they do! I tried to look for a shoe that had a comparable bottom of shoe design to most major tennis brands. The Asics v-ball are very similar and the cushioning is surprisingly good. I wish the shoe wasn't quite as low cut. Psychologically, I feel mid ankle height is better support, but these things are incredibly light. Seems like a beneficial tradeoff. Anyway, we'll see about durability, but so far so good.

I was looking for pickleball shoes, but is there really such a thing? I've played volleyball and tennis before, so I know either of those shoes would work well for pickleball. Since I've been getting into pickleball, I wanted something that I could dedicate to pickleball. As soon as I tried these on, they were great. My feet are a tad wider than most people, but these could probably handle feet wider than mine. They had ample room, but they seem to almost conform to my foot. The shoes were grippy on all my pivots and stops. The cushion on the heel and the balls of my feet were just enough without being too bouncy. These are well made shoes for sure.

I needed a new racquetball shoe. Medical data shows that hi-tops don't significantly help to prevent ankle sprains. I'd worn dunks for decades but wanted a super light weight shoe. I decided to stop using dunks.I found the asics Gel Rocket 10, did my research, and determined that they should be great for indoor courts that have wood (volleyball, racquetball, squash) or that green / blue hard-court resin (like for tennis or pickleball).These shoes are GREAT for racquetball. Super grippy. Light weight (320 grams which is excellent - Salming shoes are at 300grams which are arguable the best in the biz but expensive).The inserts that come with it are very thin - too thin for my feet. I replaced them with the same Sof Sole Athletic inserts that are sold at Academy:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J7YQW1TThe result is near perfection IMO. I paid $65 for black ones during a sale on Amazon. I don't know of a better deal considering asics is a quality brand.Fit was pretty near spot on. I'm 11.5 US. Maybe just a hair too big but I know I have odd size feet. The new inserts brought me up a little higher which made the shoe fit perfect.Thanks asics for making this product. It's a good one.

Shoes matched description and fits me well. It's an indoor shoe, but I use it mainly outdoor and it works fine. I bought two pairs (months a part) and they both came before the expected delivery date. I only wish they had my size (8 wide) in black.

I ordered 1/2 size up based on other reviews and that was correct. My son usually wears a 9.5 in Nike and a 10 in these shoes fits perfectly. He said he feels more grip on the volleyball court.

That said, I’m a bit disappointed in the fit. A size 12 fits me well in the previous pairs of ASICS I Have purchased. Oddly, this pair seems too roomy. I play Pickleball most everyday and go through a pair every 3 months.

Great choice when choosing quality for a decent price. I really like them. Light and durable.

Excelentes zapatos, se ven hermosos en la cancha

Although comfortable, used less than 20 games, it nearly developed a hole on the same area other customers reported. Seems to be manufacturing fault. Won't buy it again

Pretty good overall. Construction not quite as tough as expected from previous volleyball shoes. And just slightly larger than expected compared to local ASICS shoes this size. Still a very good shoe though and good to play in.

Much better and more support for court sports. Grip on wooden badminton court is great too.

Delivery time was spot on, and the shoes fit perfectly.

This is the state of asics gel rocket 10 shoes after 4 months of usage. Side of the shoe started ripping within few days of use.I have been an asics indoor shoes user for many years. Previously I used gel rocket 7 which the sole came off after 3 years of intense usage. It is obvious that the quality has gone down drastically.This is not a product which can be recommended for anyone else.No complains about the fit.
