Men's Gel-Rocket 11 Volleyball Shoes

Absolutely love these shoes. I was in the market for a new pair after recently taking up racquetball and getting runners toe the first day. So I did some research (thanks chatgpt), to compare various brands and styles. This was among the shoes recommended by chatgpt and also on a few racquetball reddit posts. So I did my research and based on cost, landed on these. They are true to size, feel great on my feet, and offer plenty of room in the toe. Would gladly buy these again in a heartbeat. Excellent purchase and quality--highly recommend.

Never having worn Asics before, I bought these for racquetball because of the low price point. I haven't played in years and was concerned my body might not be up for the challenge. Fortunately, they didn't have anything except in the 2E wide for my 9 1/2 size. I normally don't wear a wide but decided to give it a try. The shoes fit perfect and were comfortable the first workout on the court. I couldn't be happier with the support, grip, fit, and comfort.

Well made, comfortable, great for pickleball or just walking around. ASICS makes a good looking sneaker that’s functional and at a reasonable cost

Bought these as daily wear shoes, was attracted to the low price. Honestly most of my sport shoes cost 2 to 3 times the price and I believe that these are lower quality shoes, materials seem to be lower grade, but the support and footbed are seem to be good. The fit is good, the value for the money is good. We will have to see how they hold up over the long haul given that the materials of the upper seem to be pretty light.

I've been a squash player for over 50 years and have been through the shoe wars all along the way. Brands come and go; and some change styles. Soon after then the Asics Gel Rockets came out, I bought a pair and liked their comfort, fit, weight, traction and durability. (I've gotten one to two years per pair of Gel Rockets.) Being used to companies changing their shoes, I quickly bought another pair. Eventually, they showed some wear and I converted them to non-squash casual wear. Meanwhile, I needed a pair of all-black walking/running shoes I could take on travel and wear for mor dressy occasions. Again, I bought Asics, same size. The same size as my squash shoes fit perfectly and are still in use after about three years. When it came time to buy new squash shoes, I again turned to Asics. After years of wearing white, I went for more color and bought these peacoat blue/orange babies. They arrived in two days in an original carton and perfect condition. Noting the Amazon 7-day tryout period, I quickly took them onto the court, and found the feel and the traction are just the same as my prior pair. And they look great - the colors on the Amazon page are true. I mention all this because I was concerned about the soles. I have mostly bought squash shoes with the yellow-orange gum soles. They don't mark the court floor and the traction has been consistently outstanding. When I've bought other brands with white or gray soles, I was dissatisfied with the traction or the durability. This new pair has blue soles, so before buying them, I checked with two pros and two other players who have Asics shoes with colored soles. They told me not to worry, and they were right. (They also said that the Asics UpCourt volleyball shoes are not as good for squash.) So, I recommend them, and am now ordering another pair before these colors disappear.

These were 1/2 size too small in my usual size 11. They are perfect in 11.5, standard width. I play outdoor pickleball on court asphalt, which will test the tread life.

I'm immensely competitive but only really get to play a few times a month. I just received these and played a night of volleyball and pickleball a week later. For both, these felt great! Obviously they're not the quality of a $130 pair of shoes, but for how often I play, these still allow me to compete well. I wasn't slipping and my feet weren't sore after, so I'd say that's a win lol. For the money, this is an excellent option - best that I saw in my research. Pickleball shoes didn't seem great to use for volleyball, but these worked great for both! The pics in the other reviews give an accurate representation of how they look. The white pair looks very clean, and the sizing fits as normal.

Son used them for volleyball and they comforted his feet and he didn’t twist an ankle!
