Selected User Reviews For ASICS Men's Gel-Dedicate 6 Tennis Shoes
I've previously worn Asics for tennis and find them to be very comfortable. The layout appears to be appealing as well. The only thing left to see is how long it will last. Every week, I play about 5 hours of tennis, and I'd rate myself as a solid 4. 0 player. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> Even though it's October, these are still going strong.
The sole and heel of this shoe could use a bit more cushioning. It would be beneficial to use an aftermarket insole. The tongue is particularly well cushioned and of a good length, which I appreciate. On the court, traction is good, but many shoes have short tongues. There is a lot of lateral support. A good fit for the heel cup. There will be no slipping of the heels. These shoes are comfortable enough to play tennis or pickleball for several hours. br>br>I'm a size 12 woman with a slim figure. ish foot. The sizing is accurate and the shoes are a good fit for my feet. The toe box is ideal, as it does not squash or press down on the toes. br>br>I buy Asics and Saucony shoes because they are made in the United States rather than China. Both businesses are based in Japan. Their footwear is manufactured in Cambodia and Vietnam.
Pickleball is one of my favorite sports, so I put them on when I play. I play 9- A pair of shoes usually lasts me a month and a half to two months when I work 12 hours a week. I buy them because of the low price and the fact that they last a little longer than the Adidas or Nike equivalents. Also, I purchase Plantar Fasciitis insoles at the same time as the shoes and replace the stock insoles with the new ones, so I can't comment on how they feel. On time and in perfect working order.
I used to be one of those people who would die if they didn't get what they wanted. New Balance is a tough brand to beat. But for the last few pairs of shoes, NB has let me down. After an ankle injury, I needed something with a little more lateral support, so I bought these Asics, which I use for athletic training, agility drills, and boxing training. These shoes are a significant improvement over the previous several pairs of shoes I owned. My foot is more firmly planted in the shoe, and I'm not slipping or rolling around. During lateral movements, you'll be able to see over the top of the They're comfortable, and I'd say they're about average in terms of athletic shoe weight. After that, I'll get more Asics.
These shoes are average for a hard court shoe at this price point, in my opinion. However, it does not meet my ASICS expectations. In most cases, I use the GEL- GEL- or Resolution Shoes from the Challenger line. Dedicate is less expensive than both lines, but it does not scale in terms of comfort; in comparison to the above shoes, I found it to be rather uncomfortable, and I would rather pay the higher price than buy these again. PROS: br>br> The hard plastic bridge in the middle of the sole prevents the shoe from twisting during heavy direction changes, which is surprising for such a light shoe. This feature is missing from most shoes in this price range, in my opinion. On hard courts, I've had no problems with premature sole wear, and the stitching has held up well against the occasional drag. br>br>CONS: The lace and tongue are placed off center, as mentioned in other reviews. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the side wall discomfort in my toes. In comparison to Resolutions and Challengers, the toe box appears to be slightly narrower. Definitely a lighter shoe than the previous lines, with significantly less cushioning. These shoes are acceptable. br>br> But it's not the ASICS I'm used to. I'm going to stick to the rest of their stuff.
Over the last few years, I've purchased ASICS Dedicate shoes. They are well-fitting and extremely comfortable. It's also simple to swap out their insoles for your own if you have foot problems like I do. For me, the most important advantage of these shoes is their stability. Tennis requires a great deal of stability due to the rapid acceleration and sudden stops, which these shoes provide. The Dedicate is ASICS' value option in the "stability" branch (as opposed to the "speed" branch) of their tennis shoe line. The disadvantage of being a budget option is that shoes will wear out quickly, especially if you play more than a few times per week. I am a 3. 5 semi- a competitive player who plays about three times a week 4 times per week, and I should probably replace my shoes every six months or so (despite the fact that I am too cheap to do so). If you play more than that or aren't as "frugal," you might want to consider upgrading to ASICS and getting more expensive but more durable shoes.
I have a curved foot and used to play tennis in running shoes, and I would get cramps in the middle of my feet. I couldn't tell if it was the shoes or if I was just tired. Yesterday was the first time I played with these shoes after a few days off, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had no catching or dull pain. br>br>I liked the looks, the material used, and the small details, but none of that mattered if it wasn't comfortable to use on a regular basis. br>br>I am a new fan of this brand, but I have previously used them for volleyball and enjoyed them. br>For the first time, I was paranoid about Asics ceasing to make this model, and whether I should collect a few pairs for the coming years:.
