Side by Side Comparison of: ASICS vs Dunlop Sports vs HEAD

I ordered theses Gel 7's for my husband. They came in an Asics box and were a true size 13. He had worn them about 6 times to play pickleball for about three hours at a time. They required no break in period and feel great. He said the arch support and cushioning were a plus and were great for starting and stopping as well as lateral movements during the game. Traction is good. Worn on inside court primarily. He has had a knee replacement and his knee feels good as well after wearing these shoes. He would recommend.

Bought them for table tennis, but haven't had a chance to play with them on yet. I have broken them in by wearing them around the house. I wear Asics running shoes all the time, so these size 11's fit as expected. They seem to have good breathability and good lateral support, along with the gum sole for traction. I wanted to get the gel rocket 7 as they are being phased out, replaced by the gel rocket 8 which has really generic styling. Had to pay full price, but hopefully they will last a while, since they will only be used for TT.

I'm a pretty big guy (~250lbs) and play hard, so my shoes take a lot of abuse. I've been using these for the last ~5months playing racquetball for ~3-5hrs per week, and the a holding up just fine. Most court shoes I have blow out just behind my small toe (from quick stops and cutting side to side in the court). The sole is sticky and isn't wearing out too fast. I also have high arches, and these shoes fit my feet perfectly without the need for additional inserts. Super pleased, I'll be buying another pair after I've trashed these. I hope Asics keeps making them.

Excellent volleyball shoes for the money. This is my 3rd pair of Gel-Rocket shoes and first time ordering online since the local stores don't carry volleyball shoes anymore. It's very light and grips well, and I can jump higher with confidence.

I have been using Gel-Rocket shoes for Ping Pong play for 5 years. I am on my 4th pair and you can't really beat the quality for the price. Typical ping pong shoes have very little support, that is why I prefer volley ball shoes and this particular model/series.Red and black combo matches nicely with my training gear and looks great on the court.

I have never worn Volleyball shoes before and was worried they would not work out for my workouts. After seeing a recent review indicating the shoes worked for a P90X3 workout, the very workout I was doing at the time, I decided to give them a try. These shoes are the best workout shoe I have ever worn, they are light as a feather and provide all the stability needed to support a P90X3 type workout i.e. running and jumping etc. My previous shoe was a Nike Monarch IV which had great support, but was very heavy and compared to the Gel Rocket 7, very clunky. I have used the shoe for about a month and they are outstanding!

It's rare that I purchase shoes without trying on first. In this case the size, fit and looks are fine; however, the right shoe has a very slight, but noticeable, bulge to the outside.. Were it not for that, I would consider them a 5! Had I tried them on first I would have put them back and kept looking.

Very happy with this shoe. I use it for pickleball, needed an indoor court shoe and these work great. They were also the most reasonably priced of the top rated shoes. If they came with a replaceable insole for orthotics I would give them a five. They are lightweight and comfortable, arch support is good. I prefer a shoe built on a slightly wider last (D) with good toe room and these are quite satisfactory.

This shoe works quite well for my intended purpose- Racquetball. Only thing that I have to do while it "breaks in", is retie them at least once during an hour of play, because they warm, and loosen up. Oh, and when I first put them on, their support feels a little bit excessive, but once I warm up/play in them, they are great. Solid purchase.

UPDATE:I am on my fifth pair. As long as the price does not change and they continue to last six months I will probably just continue buying these good shoes.UPDATE:I am now on my fourth pair of these shoes. They fit well, give me good grip and support. They are not too expensive. And, now I know that they will last between 5 and 6 months before the soles wears out. I play or drill for about eight hours a week, squash.ORIGINAL REVIEW:They are mostly comfortable. This is my second pair. They are narrow around the front, squishing my pinky toe. I will wear heavy socks to stretch them out a bit.Update: they wear out rather quickly.I have had these shoes for 3.5 months and they have worn out on the sole and the toes where the sole connects to the top of the foot. I use them only for squash. I put them on and take them off at the gym, so they've never seen cement. I calculated that they have gotten about 95 hours of use. I do not know what is the expected lifetime for squash shoes. But, these seems a little low. Otherwise, the tops and insides are in perfect condition. Maybe these are better off for sports other than squash.

These are great court shoes for racquetball. I only gave 4 stars because ASICS doesn't produce them in wide and because I am flat footed and arch support does cause pain after about 3 or 4 games. Thus, the shoe has excellent arch support, I just don't have arches to support. I wear a 10.5 EE in NewBalance. Ordered an 11D through Amazon. I noted that this product fit as expected, but only as expected because of the many reviews I read online saying that they fit a little wider than the average shoe. Note: I did purchase a half size larger than my size. Also, based on another reviewer's comments I researched alternative lacing patterns to accommodate a wider toe box. The construction seems solid. I'll update this review if and when my little toe goes through the shoe outers.

I purchased these shoes for volleyball. I am an outside hitter and do leagues twice a week. These shoes exceeded my expectations. They stick amazingly to the floor. When doing my hitting approach I feel they help me explode off the ground better compared to what I was wearing before. They also are very comfortable and provide good shock relef. I recommend these for anyone looking for shoes for volleyball.

The size I usually wear I ordered but was way too small for me. If you're looking at this shoe, go with at least half to full size bigger. The shoe was very stiff and will need breaking in. Good looking shoe but I had to return.

First off these things run small and narrow as I wear in 11D and I had to step up to an 11.5. Secondly, these shoes offer absolutely zero internal arch support which I need to play racquetball which is why I purchased them. My plantar fasciitis went off wearing these so I ripped the factory inserts out and replaced with blue Powersteps. I was shocked at the inserts provided by Asics as they are flat and only 1/8 " thick front to back. If you buy these you're buying them with zero support included so be warned. I gave them a generous three stars because the bottoms do give good Traction in a wood court and they seem well-built otherwise.

I've purchased Asics before and am a huge fan of the shoe. I ordered this new pair to replace a worn pair. I ordered same size. Got them in and too small/tight especially in the toes. Did return which cost me a few extra bucks for shipping and received a 1/2 size bigger. I was surprised there wasn't more toe room. I'm making due with them but not completely satisfied. I went from a 11 1/2 to 12.

Yes - great looking shoews, yes - bottom looks great for Indoor...but.. NOT for Wide feet. Pinkie hurts in them.If you have Wide feet, consider these - Harrow Vortex Men's Indoor Court Shoe (White/Grey) (12) - great looking, light, comfortable.

Very good looking shoe, but not very comfortable to wear. After a couple of days it felt like my Achilles was pulled. I tried them on several occasions and the same thing happened each time. I cannot blame it on the shoes but this is the only shoes that this has ever occurred with. I LOVE Asics shoes but I would never buy this type of shoe again.PS; I still will buy Asics shoes but it will be running shoes from now on.

True to the company's reputation, a comfortable shoe with decent shock absorption, a little on the heavier side, not much arch support and do not match up to the Mizuno's I had earlier. But the Mizuno cost almost twice as much. For the price, not a bad purchase.

Liked the shoe for as long as it lasted. I play about once to twice a week and it only lasted around a year. I'll probably look elsewhere for my next racquetball shoe.

I currently wear another model of Asics of volleyball shoes and I ordered the same size. However, when these came, they were too big. My foot was sliding in them.I don't understand. Why are the sizes so different within Asics' own models?

Aren't as nice as they look in the picture, clearly visible that are cheaper than most volleyball models

These shoes were far to narrow for my feet which are 11 4E, despite reading reviews that said they were a generous fit.

The shoes fit but the insole felt weird when I tried them on. Despite the feeling of the insole, I played a 2 hour session of volleyball and midway through my feet were killing me. I bought court shoes for a better grip on the indoor court over my normal running sneakers but the pain these caused me to return them. I normally wear Nike and New Balance shoes so I guess brand makes a difference.

While they are comfortable, they are not good for flat feet. I had to take out the insole and buy a high arch support, but then that caused the sneaker to rip a little after about a week of using it. They also run a little big in size.

The quality of Asics has truly degraded. I bought a pair almost three years back, and used them consistently Monday-Friday for indoor volleyball. I bought a pair recently and in under three months, the side of the right shoe has already ripped.For $70 you would imagine the shoe would last at least half a year. It's also disappointing since I'm not even playing 5 days a week anymore, only a sheer 3 times per week.

Asics Men's Gel-Rocket 7 Indoor Court Shoe, Silver/Onyx/Neon Yellow, 9.5 M USThis is the second time I am buying the same shoe from Amazon and I am extremely disappointed with the quality. On both occasions the toe end of the shoe frayed within a couple of months and 3 months out it was completely unusable.I bought a 2nd pair in Nov and started using the shoe in Jan 2017 and as you can see from the picture (the pair on the right), the toe region of the shoe has frayed yet again and isn't giving me any grip anymore. That's about $130 down the drain for both shoes. Can I get a refund?Otherwise, the shoe fits just fine and is comfortable enough (does take some breaking into though). Nothing to write home about.

Tried to go up a full size to get some extra width to no avail, so wide footers, look elsewhere.

shoes are not that comfortable in the front and colors look tacky, very narrow, amazon also took 7 days before sending out and was charged sales tax even though no store in our state, no point in ordering from amazon anymore

Part of the sole detached after 5 or 6 matches - all on an indoor squash court. Poor quality.

Size 9 is my perfect shoe size. I never have any problems. So I can't imagine why those shoes numbed my toes at a men's size 9. The front of the shoe is so narrow that after a few minutes of wearing them my toes went numb. I just assume they are about a half size off - meaning they run small, real small, because I never need a 9.5 though in some cases an 8.5 might work for me. In reading the reviews someone made an interesting assessment after encountering the same issue, that they might be women's volleyball shoes sized up into men's sizes but not modified for the wider front of men's feet. Either way, these are useless and a waste of my time having to order, send back and now write this review to warn others of the issue. Back to the drawing board...
