Questions & Answers
These court shoes are fantastic, but I only wear them when playing tennis outside. When I go for a walk, I always opt for Asics Gel Cumulus.

Yes, these are great for flat feet and provide a lot of support. I play twice a week and have never had any problems with my feet being sore or aching. They're light but strong, and I didn't have to break them in at all.
They're definitely a court shoe (tennis/pickleball), and they're built to last. Not for the faint of heart.
Selected User Reviews For ASICS Women's Gel-Challenger 12 Tennis Shoes
I'm used to Gel Resolution, and while this isn't quite as good, it'll suffice. I am a size 7 and fit perfectly. The 7 and 7 were purchased by me. The 5 and 7 were both uncomfortable, and the 7 was particularly so. I debated which one to keep and decided to go with the 7, which I am glad I did. After an hour of play, I switched back to my old headphones. The next time I went on the court, I played for an hour and a half before switching, and by the third time, the shoe was very comfortable. I wouldn't size up because the challenger 12 stretches a lot more than the gel resolution. It's sturdy, but it's missing a layer of padding. Because the Challenger 12 is much lighter than the new gel resolution 8, I decided to give it a try. I wish Asics would revert to the Gel resolution 6 once more. The best tennis shoe they had was this one. Comfortable right out of the box, with a wide toe box, a nice appearance, and a great cushion. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> I've had these shoes for about a month and have been playing tennis with them. They no longer have a cushion or good support now that they have stretched out to fit my feet well, so I am unable to recommend them. They're causing me severe knee pain, which is usually caused by a lack of support. br>br>More information: Changed the insole for a more cushioned one, and six months later, three of us on the court wearing the same shoes are experiencing foot pain. In terms of cushion, these are a definite no-no. They're good for support, but they're useless as a cushion. They are not something I would recommend. Although I am not a fan of their redesigned 8, I went back to gel resolution. Why is it that Asics is unable to return to Resolution 6? They were the most convenient tennis shoes right out of the box.
I played pickleball outside with them. As others have pointed out, Asics has a tendency to run narrow. Because I have a wide foot, I went up half a size, and they fit perfectly. You may need to double tie the laces because they are quite long. These are light, but they provide a lot of support; however, some people have complained about how stiff they are. Because they are court shoes for tennis, pickleball, and other sports, they must be stiff, especially along the sides, to provide lateral support for quick side-to-side movement. They won't have the same feel as a running or walking shoe. Although there isn't much cushion, a slim orthotic insert can be slipped in without compromising fit. The plasticky odor was the only thing I noticed after buying this last pair! Phewwwyy! I left them on the porch for the day so they could get some fresh air. a little bit of gas.
I play a lot of tennis and frequently experience foot pain, particularly in my heels. These are fantastic shoes. The top/front of the toe and the sole are both extremely durable, which is great because I wear them out quickly. They were fine before I replaced the insoles with the Heel That Pain insoles from Amazon, and they've transformed these shoes! I usually wear a size 8 1/2 to 9 depending on the shoe, and I kept the 8 1/2 in these.
I usually go for a size eight. I normally wear a size 5 in Asics, but I went with a size 9 because the 8 was too small. The toes on size 5 were too tight. These are what I use to play pickleball with, and I love how much grip they provide on outdoor courts. I used to go through shoes so quickly, but after 2-years, the bottoms of these haven't worn down at all. Three months of intense gaming. With all the lateral movement, I feel like I'm running out of them if I don't tie them super tight. However, it's possible that this is just a matter of personal taste.
For this shoe, the number 8 was the best option. It's only a hair's breadth wide. When I'm playing tennis, it keeps my foot firmly in place, which is crucial for me. Good- I'm looking as well.
My foot is a little wide, and these shoes were too tight for me. The toe box was too small for me, so I had to return them.
It's extremely comfortable, and my size 11 fits perfectly.
Runs big! This is a very attractive shoe. It has a huge footprint. I usually wear a 7 1/2 shoe size, but I bought an 8 and it's at least a full size too big.
