Selected User Reviews For ASICS Men's Gel-Challenger 12 Tennis Shoes

Greetings from home
5/5

From being a lifelong runner to playing tennis (I did both for 35 years). Asics as my favorite shoe for running gave way to a different brand for tennis. In general, I was pleased with my change. However, I developed plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and knee pain about 18 months later. In order to treat the foot problem, I stretched and exercised my calf muscles. However, I also switched back to the Asics running shoes since I had such a positive experience with them. As a matter of fact, years ago I suffered from tendonitis and moved from one Asics model to another finding that my symptoms improved rapidly. It is with great pleasure that I announce there has been a switch back to Asics, my go-to running shoes once more It is similar to creating a miracle with a brand. I can tell that there is a substantial decrease in foot problems, and it is not caused only by the therapy. I am experiencing a reduction in knee pain as well. I've been quite quick for being my age, but because of the pain and hesitation I've become a half step slower. It took a week for the new shoes to return to normal after I regained my half step. The amount of happiness I feel is beyond words. My wife and I have been using Asics for decades, so I feel like a part of the family.

The game (racket game) will benefit
5/5

Play pickleball as often as I can. I was able to get to the ball a lot faster with these shoes. It is as if your foot is already set for movement and all you need to do is think to move and it happens instantly. It is also very easy to move back and forth. Before I started using tennis shoes, I always used sneakers and did well, but once I started wearing tennis shoes, I improved immensely. I bought my wife the same shoes in her size as well.

That's a great pair of shoes! In the end, I decided to go with this shoe rather than paying the premium for the same lime/blue/black colorway for the Gel Resolution 7
4/5

These Gel Challenger 12 are great, so I'm glad I kept them. I would say my feet are a size 9 instead of an 8. It isn't important for me to wear a 9 or a 9 as I can wear either one. It depends on the brand and style whether it takes 5s or not. There is a tiny bit of room in the 9s, so they are a perfect fit In Chapter 9, nine is discussed. There would be no way to fit the 5s in. Having worn and played in these shoes three times, they're now fully broken in and extremely comfortable. Once again, thanks for your help!.

This ball is great for either clay or hard courts
5/5

You should order 1/2 size larger than other tennis shoes if you prefer to wear them. There has always been an element of truth in that. The shoes are other than that a perfect match for me.

Insoles that are solid but don't provide enough cushioning
3/5

My shoes have been on my feet for about a year now. My main aim in playing is recreation, and I try to play once or twice a week when a league Despite the light weight and good soles, the shoes are very comfortable. The rubber is plentiful where you need it and it's durable. My heels hurt the first couple times I wore the shoes. I had to purchase a better pair of inners (that are shock absorbing). There is an odd bit in this story However, that doesn't make it any easier to tie the shoes tightly, even with the thicker inners. I really have to pull on the laces to feel like the shoe is snug and that my feet are not sliding sideways inside. This is my first pair of Asics, so I have no knowledge of how they fit in general. This is what I do all the time The uppers on the shoes have always been well-fitting since I started wearing Nikes. You should try on the shoes at a store before buying them online, in my opinion.

Gel Challenger from Asics
4/5

This purchase is worth the money. This model of shoe is very comfortable in my opinion. Despite its lightweight nature, the insole is sufficiently padded to provide a cushioned feel, and the bottom sole does provide excellent traction on indoor courts. It is lightweight, comfortable, and sturdy for the price. I play indoor racquetball two times a week. I have been using this device three times a week and have been very happy with it so far. It is my intention to purchase a spare pair of shoes since I am hard on shoes and I don't expect to have the opportunity to replace my current purchase when/if it wears out.

A caveat applies
4/5

The fit was as expected. I like the look of that As expected, it fit perfectly. The toe box is a bit snug, but that will be fixed when they are broken in. They are a bit stiff, so I will need to break them in before hitting the court. The shoe has good support, and I like the fact that you won't have much movement when you twist them in your hands. It's the shoe laces that are causing the problem. It is a 54" pair of laces with too short height. I have to overhang them The shoe must be tightened to be able to tie it. My 60" laces arrived today. I ordered them just in case. However, do you really believe that? Would it be possible to fit a size 12 shoe in 54"?.

This pair of shoes is perfect for guys who are larger
5/5

No one can deny the benefits of the gel insole. You walk like you are on a cushion and your ankles and knees don't feel the strain. Despite playing pickleball outdoors on asphalt, the outsoles of the shoe are very high quality, and they last very well. The white with red trim looks great, and they feel very comfortable to wear. As far as I'm concerned, they run true to size at least for me in a The U. S. dollar is worth $5. My washer is able to handle them several times in the washer and they hold up well. *Recommended.
