Comments: Not sure why Asics felt like they had to change the Solution Speed 3. I have worn this shoe for years and this one was not only uncomfortable, but did not last as long as the previous pairs I have owned. Many other players from our club feel the same way.
From: Carolyn, 3/25/19

Comments: These shoes are narrow, but that works well for my foot. They are nice and cushioned, supportive. I want to love them. But I am having a major issue with the top grommet/lace holes-they are digging holes into the top of my foot, to the left of my ankle bone. First couple of times I wore the shoes, my feet were bleeding-I have tried band aids, while I break the shoes in, but not working. Looking for a new pair of shoes...
From: Elizabeth, 9/15/18

Comments: These are horrible. I am an avid Asics fan for both tennis court and running shoes but every time I wear these my lower back hurts afterwards and legs feel achy in general. I will order a different Asics shoe but stay away from these... waste of money.
From: Kim, 9/2/18

Comments: The Speed 2s were the best in fit and comfort by far you've made. Is it possible to bring those back with improvements to the interior mesh. The mesh wore out/ tore up before the shoe did. Loved the shoe, wish I could find some of the multi colored ones that first came out, in a size 8.5-9.0. I'm an avid 4.0 league player as well as NJTL tennis coach.
From:Odessa, 7/22/18

Comments: Terrible. I usually wear a 9.5 in Asics but I had to return the first pair of Asics Gel Speed 3s I received because they were too small. The second pair I received have given me a blister high on the outside edge of my left ankle each time I wore them (2x). Total bummer because I loved the color and the Asics Resolutions are awesome.
From:Kylie, 3/29/18

Comments: So disappointed. Not the same as my last 2 pairs -- waste of money. I can't even use these to walk in -- they make my feet hot and are stiff to the point of being uncomfortably within 20 minutes. I developed knee pain and plantars in the 4 weeks I tried to 'break them in.' Very disappointed -- looking at other brands now.
From:Emily, 3/29/18

Comments: These shoes fit terribly. I don't know why I tried giving the Speed 3 another try but I thought that Asics would do something differently with their new model. I have never had my feet ache so bad after a 2 1/2 hour match. The opening around the ankle is too high and rubs incessantly against the top of my foot. I honestly have to say this is one of the most poorly designed shoes I have ever worn on the court. Such a huge $100+ mistake that I'm completely regretting. Do not make the same mistake I did and buy this shoe. I'm a 4.0 tennis player with a size 9 foot and play about 5x per week -- I'm already purchasing a different shoe and giving these to anyone who dares wear this shoe.
From:Kim, 2/26/18

Comments: Disappointing! I was a huge Asics fan who plays about 3-4 times a week on several leagues year-round. This updated version is narrow. Gone is the breathable and flexible mesh. Instead a stiff, cheap plastic-like material wraps the unforgiving toe box. Bring back comfort with wiggle room in the toe box. Cushioning is still very good good though. I should have bought 2 more pairs from the old version 2 years ago (mesh, medium and comfortable toe box). I am giving these updated versions away. Waste of money.
From:Marylu, 12/7/17

Comments: I agree with a majority of the reviews. Wore Asics for years and recently purchased 2 replacement shoes and they weren't the same. Asics -- please go back to what you had! I tried going up a 1/2 size and the material seemed stff and hard and never broke in. My feet go numb after playing for a hour or so. Very disappointed. I'm going back to a different brand.
From:DS, 11/29/17

Comments: These shoes are suited for narrow feet which I have. I wear a size 7.5 or 8 but purchased the 8 and am glad I did. The length was perfect. Even so they took a bit of breaking in but I now find them very comfortable. I play 3-4 times a week and they are wearing well.
From:Karen, 9/27/17

Comments: I loved my previous Speed 2s, but this model is nothing like the last. The toe box is narrow (I have a medium width foot), unforgiving and took almost until the end of life for the shoes to break in. Not a good thing to wear as one foot has issues now that I've never had before. I'm not sure why I continued to wear these, then I remembered I bought these at full price. Never again, I'm shopping for a new brand.
From:M, 8/15/17

Comments: I love Asics and play a lot of tennis. I think there was something wrong with these shoes. They gave me a blister on the inside of my ankle. They are like new and I can't wear them. It's like something hard on the inside of the shoe and only on the right shoe. I tried sticking bandaids on the inside of the shoe. I had the same brand before with no issues.
From:Lisa, 8/15/17

Comments: Unfortunately, Asics has completely changed this shoe. I have owned at least 12 pairs of the Gel Solution Speeds. The shoe now mostly plastic in the front which makes it stiff and heavy. The toe box also changed and is angled across the great toe which makes it uncomfotable. The white plastic turns yellow making the shoe unattractive. Please ask Asics to go back to the old design!
From:Debbie, 8/11/17

Comments: I'm surprised by the amount of negative comments here, but everyone's feet are truly different. I found these shoes really comfortable, and the fit is perfect -- I always go up half a size in athletic shoes, did the same with these, no issues at all (I do have very narrow feet though, usually have problems finding sandals I won't slide out of). Can't comment on the durability yet, I've only played in them twice, two hours each time. They also didn't need much breaking in, I found them comfortable right out of the box. No blisters, no rubbing at the ankles. In comparison to the Gel Resolution 5s, which is what I had before these, they're much less stiff and definitely more comfortable.
From:Lana, 8/7/17

Comments: I loved my Asics Gel Solution Speeds but I have not really been happy with the next generations, including these Speed 3s. They are impossible to break-in. It feels like hard plastic, and I imagine the soles will wear out and they will still be stiff. I really wish they would make the original Gel Solution Speed again.
From:Kathryn, 7/19/17

Comments: A lot of my fellow tennis players at my club recommended Asics to me, but this model was a complete disaster for me. I wore these shoes out in three months -- they ripped at the toe and the cushioning was starting to rip in the back of the shoe. The shoes took a while to really fit nicely and gave me a lot of blisters. The shoes were not very breathable and completely wore out in 3 months. Will not buy this shoe again.
From:Deana, 7/10/17

Comments: I love the color of these shoes but they are difficult to wear. They rub the bottom of my left ankle. I can only wear them with really thick socks. I buy many pairs of Asics shoes each year and this is the first time that this has happened.
From:Joan, 6/21/17

Comments: I tend to be an aggressive mover, and these Asics do not provide enough traction except on the grittier courts. I have had issues slipping, and do not wear them as much as my adidas Ubersonics. I like the weight of the shoe and how low to the ground the shoe feels, but these run a bit narrow due to the pointier toe.
From:CDM, 6/21/17

Comments: Asics used to be my go-to shoe. Now I'm shopping around. These shoes gave me blisters for the first time ever -- no ventilation! What a disappointment.
From:Beth, 6/6/17

Comments: I actually really liked these shoes, although not as much as the Speed 2s. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the Solution Speed 3s are less breathable than the previous iteration and more likely to rub at the ankles, but neither of these bothered me. I thought trading breathability for durability in the upper is definitely worth it...I always used to wear holes through the upper of cloth-like shoes, but never had any problems with the Speed 3s. After long days (3+ hours, multiple matches), they do start to rub on the outside of my little toe and on the ball of my foot, but not too badly. Since I rarely play intensely for more than 2 hours, this wasn't a regular issue. For the most part, I loved these shoes. They felt like my Speed 2s in almost every way, are durable, supportive, and comfortable. In fact, these shoes are so comfy I have worn them to the gym, to go running, or just to the grocery store! Don't necessarily take stock in other reviews saying these shoes are horrible -- I thought they were great! These shoes are great, but slightly less great than the Solution Speed 2s. Also, it's a little thing, but be prepared to buy new laces for these shoes -- the ones included fell apart in under two weeks of play for me.
From:Kate, 6/2/17

Comments: These shoes were disappointing. I loved the Speed 2, even with my medium width feet they loosened up enough to where they felt great. No problems whatsoever, but these feel super stiff, with a narrow, almost pointed toe. After an hour of playing in them they felt like they were designed for maximum torture. And they rubbed my ankles too at first. That part seems better now, but I've just about given up on the toes ever loosening their painful grip. One more thing, in the picture they look like they have the same ventilation as the Speed 2 version. They don't. It's a solid stiff plastic upper.
From:Ally, 6/1/17

Comments: I join the disappointed buyers club. I always wear Asics for tennis and running. I too should have read the reviews. I have wide feet anyhow and did go up a 1/2 size. These are the worst shoes I have played in. My feet literally go numb after two hours of playing. I tried wearing them 3-4 times to break them in. They feel no better now than the day I first put them on. I am stuck!
From:Stephanie, 5/30/17

Comments: These were my first pairs of Asics and I bought them because I thought they were so cute. I got a 7.5, my normal size and although they fit, I thought they were a bit snug but wrote it off as being a different shoe manufacturers fit (I normally wear Nike). Well, I played in them and I had no less than 5 blisters on my feet at the end of the day. I found the toe box to be a bit narrow and as a result both big toes had huge blisters. Then there is an annoying lip to the shoe right under the ankle and it rubbed a blister right inside of my ankle. The shoe has a coating on it so it does not seem to breathe either, hence much foot sweating. Very disappointed as they are so cute. But wow, I could not wait to get these off and I had to wear them for 4 days of a tournament -- my feet were so miserable! I do not recommend.
From:Kim, 5/6/17

Comments: I have only worn Asics shoes for tennis and running. I was so disappointed in this shoe. It was snug when I wore it for the first time, but I thought it would stretch a little. I have had these about a month. I can now wear them for the whole match, but have to take them off immediately when I am finished. My feet are even sore when I don't have them on. I will have to purchase another court shoe soon, in the meantime I will go back to my old shoes.
From:Brenda, 5/3/17

Comments: I have purchased Asics for 8 years! I have never had a problem. I wore them right out of the box without any issues. I loved the Gel Resolution 5. They were discontinued. So I purchased theSolution Speed 3. They are horrible! They are so uncomfortable! I have tried 4 times and they hurt my feet, even after going up a size! The width is narrow. I am going to look for a new brand!
From:Kara, 5/3/17

Comments: These run very short and very narrow through the toes. I wore the previous version in my regular size, 8.5, with no problems. I ordered these in 8.5 and 9, both were too small. The 9s were long enough but still way too tight across my toes. I have narrow feet, and despite the tight toes, these slipped off my heels. I don't know what Asics did to the design of these, but it's terrible.
From:Carrie, 4/26/17

Comments: I have 3 pairs of the new Asics Solution Speed 3s and they all cut into my ankle bone. I have tried everything to remedy this but still come off the court with bloody ankles. The shoe left deep cuts on my ankles that are so bad I can't wear some of my other shoes. What has happened to this shoe? I definitely will have to go to another shoe manufacturer. So bummed.
From:Lee, 3/1/17

Comments: I have worn the Asics Gel Solution Speed 2 for the last couple of years and purchased the Speed 3 when I needed a new pair thinking that they would be just the next generation. I guess they are the next generation, but they feel different. The sides of the shoe seem to be cut differently, either they are higher on the sides or the cut out doesn't hit me in the right place. The sides hit the bottom of my ankle just enough so that I don't notice it when I first put them on, but after wearing for an hour, it becomes very uncomfortable.
From:Jannean, 2/25/17

Comments: The Speed 1 and 2 are great! These are the most terrible tennis shoes I have ever worn! Stiff and hard. They hurt my feet! I even tried to size up half a size and the upper sole was still too tight. I already have narrow feet. The sides of the shoes cuts into my ankles. I played a lady last week who was wearing the same shoes. Guess what, her feet were bleeding! I don't know how they designed these.
From:Jess, 2/22/17

Comments: Whatever Asics did to "improve" this shoe it was a huge mistake. The Speed 1 and 2s fit like a glove right out of the box. The cushioning was perfect and the flexibility in the toe box was excellent. I wore my Speed 3s the day I got them and my feet were killing me, had blisters, not to mention they were burning up and that was only after a 1 1/2 hour lesson! Whatever material they used to make this shoe may make it lighter but I could not find any other positive feature. A real disappointment.
From:Stefi, 2/7/17

Comments: The shoe is stiffer in the toe box than Speed 2 and therefore feels narrower. It is more cushioned in the sole so you don't have the ground feel you have with the Speed 2. The Speed 2 had no break in time whereas Speed 3 does. It doesn't have the soft, light, barefoot feel of the Speed 2. But if you need more support and cushioning the Speed 3 provides it.
From:Barbara, 1/17

Comments: Asics continues to make lightweight shoes but the higher sides on my ankle bone are not comfortable! I was excited to order these and after playing in them one time, I decided to cut the sides down near my ankles because they are higher cut than the previous Speed shoes. Well, the problem is that these are made with a stiff and hard plastic (really? for tennis shoes?) and it cut the inside of my ankle. Still bleeding two days later. They need to go back to their original style that had soft, mesh around the ankles and didn't come up so high. I have several friends that have had this same problem. It is very disappointing! Hard to find a lightweight and stable shoe that doesn't come up too high on the ankle bones.
From:Laura, 1/17

Comments: I can't wear these shoes anymore. Every time I wear them playing doubles for 2 hours, my feet hurt. They are stiff, narrow and uncomfortable even after 3 months of wear (wearing them two hours each time for 3 times a week). I never had to break in other Asics shoes. And I have narrow feet. Very disappointed.
From:Mary, 1/17

Comments: The Asics Gel Solution Speed 3 are very poorly engineered. The edge of the shoe on the inner ankle is designed to literally cut into the wearer's skin. I have one inch cuts on both of my feet from one wearing of these shoes that have not healed in two weeks.
From:TennisMom, 12/16

Comments: This is my fourth pair of Solution Speed shoes so I ordered my usual size. I wish I had read previous reviews first. Previous comments about them being stiffer and smaller are correct. Sent them back and went up 1/2 size.
From:Michelle, 12/16

Comments: The Asics Speed 3 disappoints. The Solution Speed 1 and Speed 2 were amazing but when the Speed 3 came out it was like a totally differently shoe. My feet were blistered and bruised after only an hour of playing. It's such a shame because everyone I know was wearing Asics but now everyone says these shoes hurt their feet. What happened? It's like they got greedy and wanted to use cheaper materials. It's ridiculous because they came out with some really cool looking designs like the graffiti and the groove design, but what good is a good looking shoe when you can't actually play in them?
From:Elisa, 10/16

Comments: After reading all the negative reviews about the Solution Speed 3, I took a chance and bought it anyway because it was on sale and because my Speed 2s were wearing out (I own 3 pairs of Speed 2s). I wore the Speed 3s today to a high performance drill class just to try them out. I was expecting them to hurt and to experience all the negative issues that other people wrote about on this website but I didn't. Yes, they were stiff out of the box but I read the staff reviews on this shoe so I was expecting that. The shoe was slightly more snug than my Speed 2s but I am an aggressive 4.0 player so I need a shoe that can keep up with my speed and lateral movements. This shoe did that and more. I am in my 40's and I play at least 2 USTA matches per week (singles and doubles), at least 1 non-USTA league match per week and take private lessons and drills at least 2x per week and play social tennis on top of that. In short, I play about 5 times per week, sometimes 2 times per day. I will probably buy another pair because I love them so much.
From:Hannah, 10/16

Comments: I wish I would have read these comments before I bought the Speed 3. I would have gone up 1/2 a size. Not only are they smaller, they seem stiffer. Love the 2s! Luckily I still have some Speed 2s that I can wear while I try to break these 3s in. If that's possible. I never understand why companies change the shoe's basic designs. Sure, change the colors, but please leave the fit the same. I sure hope Asics reads customer reviews.
From:Willi, 10/16

Comments: I purchased a pair last year, they required no break-in and are the first shoes which actually have some arch in them. I purchased another pair a couple of months ago, and every bit as comfortable and rewarding on the court. I am so pleased I am going for top of the line with these and a bit excited despite the reviews, I guess everyone has different feet but it does make a difference in how you tie your shoes. They almost fit like a glove or a running shoe, nice work Asics. Oh, despite the wild colors I am continually getting compliments on them so what else could I ask for.
From:Jessica, 10/16

Comments: I have a narrower foot and these fit just right. Anyone without a narrow foot, I would recommend buying a 1/2 size up. Style wise, they are really cute and will match almost everything. I also feel like they will stay very clean because they are coated all over.
From:Liz, 9/16

Comments: I agree 100% with all the feedback regarding pain with the Speed 3 shoe. My feet burn and hurt almost immediately with start of play. I never have had this discomfort with my Speed 2 shoes. I have searched far and wide for the Speed 2 and they are sold out in my size nationwide apparently. Please bring them back!
From:Pam, 9/16

Comments: As I always do with sneakers, I ordered these a 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size. The toe box is very narrow, even for my slender toes. After 5 minutes of walking around the house in them my toes felt squished together. I will be returning these shoes -- too bad as they otherwise are comfortable and good looking.
From:Gretchen, 9/16

Comments: I have been wearing Asics Gel Solution Speed tennis shoes for a few years now. I love this shoe. However, the 2016 model is more narrow and shorter than previous years. I would suggest going up a half size if you plan on ordering this years model. I have narrow feet and this shoe is very tight on my foot.
From:Tina, 8/16

Comments: I am so disappointed in this shoe. I have worn the 3 pairs of the Speed 2s over the past 2 years yet the Speed 3 hurt my feet. The 1st time I wore them, both my toes and the balls of my feet went numb with burning pain. I also got a blister on the back of my left heel. This never happened with the Speed 2. I thought they might need time to break in and even wore thinner socks yet after 5 wears, the blister resolved yet the pain hasn't and the balls of my feet still begin to burn and go numb after about an hour of play, but they fit fine when I put them on. I guess the Speed 3 has a more narrow fit. I was a big fan of Asics tennis shoes and now I don't know what to get.
From:Chris, 8/16

Comments: This is the first time I have bought a pair of Asics Gel Solution Speed tennis shoes that have killed my feet. I have had several pairs of the Speed shoes and have never even had to break them in. So disappointed. Desperately looking for the old speed shoe in my size now as I cannot wear these every day for tennis.
From:Vickie, 8/16

Comments: So disappointed. The toe box painfully crushed my small toe the moment I put them on. No way would these ever break in. Here's the background: I was a devoted Asics Gel Resolution fan, but I heard bad things about the Gel Resolution 6 (that they had changed, were too stiff and cut into your ankle). I found a pair of Nike Ballistic Advantage on sale for cheap and tried them. Although the sole wore out too quickly, and the heel cup needed more padding, I loved the lightweight flexibility. When I tried on my old Asics Gel Resolutions, they now felt too clunky. So I had high hopes the "Speed" would give me the Asics comfort and durability but the lightweight flexibility found in those Nikes. By the way, I tried the Nike Zoom Vapor, too, but returned because they were too loose in the toe box.
From:Theresa, 8/16

Comments: This was my 4th pair of Gel Solution Speed shoes. I have a very narrow foot and still found these too narrow in the toe-box. The shoes caused me to have problems with my big toe nail. I'm extremely disappointed in these shoes. I wore them for about a month and gave up and started wearing my worn out Speed 2s. Total waste of $100. The shoes are still like new and unwearable. I'd love to see Asics return to the old fit.
From:Jennifer, 8/16

Comments: I have worn the Speed 2 and loved them! The Speed 3 is so narrow in the toe box that I am suffering from severe blisters. I used to put on a new Speed 2 and they fit perfectly the first time. Why did you change the form of the toe to improve it? It is an awful shoe. I don't believe that sizing up would cure the problem as mentioned from other reviews. Thumbs down on this shoe. I purchased the orange and also the black/pink shoes Asics Speed 3.
From:Janisse, 8/16

Comments: I am a 70+ year old recreational player with a small, narrow foot. I love these shoes! No need to tighten the laces to the point of numbness so the shoes feel secure. They give great ankle support too. They are light weight and I feel that I can move well in them. I had no break-in problems. As I play in a cool climate, I have not had any problems with heat. I haven't had them long enough to comment on durability.
From:Cindy, 8/16

Comments: I wanted to love these shoes but gave them too many chances and should have returned them but tossed all of my packaging and receipt. Both shoes burrowed cuts into my inner ankles, to the point of bloody socks. Hoping they would eventually break in, I tried thicker socks which didn't help. I then added tape and super large band-aids which did work until they slipped out of place due to high temps and sweating. Then the rubbing came back. I've probably worn these shoes 25+ times and am yet again nursing an open wound. I'm done.
From:Kelli, 8/16

Comments: I do not have wide feet, but this toe box is definitely too narrow. I have been playing with Asics for some years, and this is the first pair where my second toe rubs against my big toe and forms a callus. Very uncomfortable! I tried to get relief by using thinner socks, but it is still uncomfortable even after playing with this model for a while. I am even considering going back to the Gel Resolution instead of the Gel Solution Speed.
From:Ria, 7/16

Comments: I love these shoes. They are light, low to ground, and make me feel fast. The fit is very narrow which I need as I have a hard time finding shoes that feel secure in the heel. My only issue is with durability. Over the weekend I played in temps near 100 degrees when suddenly my toes felt like they were on fire. At first I thought it was something wrong with my feet but I looked at bottom of the shoes and the tread under the toes was completely bare. I'm surprised these shoes lasted less than 3 months averaging around 7 hours per week per pair playing mainly doubles. I never wear the shoes for anything other than tennis. I guess that is the trade-off wearing speed shoes but I love feeling fast and just need to be sure to pay attention to the tread under the toe area. I will say these are actually more durable and fit much better than the Nike Vapors that I used to wear and why I am sticking with the Speed 3s.
From:Anonymous, 7/16

Comments: These are the worst Asics shoes I have ever worn. After just one match, my feet were in pain. I have never experienced such discomfort with tennis shoes. My foot is not at all wide but these were ridiculously tight, causing numbness and then pain. I have worn other Asics tennis shoes in the past with no problems.
From:Jen, 7/16

Comments: I love this shoe! I had been wearing Babolat for several years without any problem and suddenly developed severe heel pain (plantar fasciitis) after playing. This got worse and worse despite icing and ibuprofen to the point where I could hardly walk, let alone play tennis. I have narrow feet and it is very difficult to find narrow tennis shoes. I had never tried Asics but after seeing comments that others found these too narrow, I decided to give them a try. My heel pain resolved completely after a week and has not recurred. Unbelievable! These shoes are not only very comfortable, they provide ankle support and they very attractive. I bought 3 more pairs just in case Asics decides to change them next year. One problem -- there is a pattern of dots inside the back of the shoe that seems to be wearing off after only a few weeks.
From:Anonymous, 6/16

Comments: I am disappointed in this shoe. I have worn it now for my 2nd tennis match and they are just not as comfortable as they should be. Not much cushioning at all, not a great fit and my knees/hips hurt the next day after both matches. There is also break-in required. The worst part is my 2nd match was in 80 degree heat on hard courts and there was absolutely no breathability to these shoes. My feet were so incredibly hot they were on fire and soaking wet. The design/color/pattern is super cute though. Otherwise, a waste of money and now i'm looking for a new pair after only 2 times of wear.
From:EJN, 6/16

Comments: I'm disappointed with Asics! After about 5 rounds of wearing the same Asics running shoe model, I had to go up a half size with the most recent version. And now after just purchasing the Solution Speed 3 for tennis (after 3 pairs of Solution Speed 1 and 2), I'm having the same problem as the other reviewers. The shoe is a much narrower fit and completely uncomfortable on the court. I was thinking about returning it and trying a half size up like I did with my running shoes, but I think I'll just move on after reading all these reviews. I'm not sure why they're messing with their fit, but it's not a good idea for keeping long term customers happy.
From:Kelsey, 6/15

Comments: I have worn the Speed shoes since they came out. I loved the original Speed and also the Speed 2s because they were unlike any other tennis shoe. They were low profile -- not stiff and felt great right of the box. I am not sure why Asics had to change a good thing. The Speed 3 is not low profile and stiff -- too much plastic and not as breathable as the originals. I was so happy when someone finally made a pair of tennis shoes that felt as good as my running shoes. Please bring back the old Speeds!
From:Anonymous, 6/16

Comments: These shoes are snugger and more narrow than the 2s. I actually went up a half size which made a difference as they seem to run short. It took some time to get used to these shoes and one thing which helped was that I did not need to tie them as tight due to the snug fit -- my feet were getting numb, but when I loosened the laces it made a difference.
From:Lesa, 6/16

Comments: I too have worn Asics solely for the several years and been so happy with the comfort and fit of the first two versions of the Solution Speed, as well as the Gel Resolutions 4 and 5. I just purchased my first Speed 3 and was surprised at how tight the toe box area felt but thought it would soften and break in. I wore them for less than an hour and the bottom of my feet could feel the concrete as if there was no cushioning and they were not a soft snug fit as in the prior versions. My toes were going numb and I had to take them off in the middle of a set. I play 5-6 days a week. Until Asics corrects this design flaw, I will have to look elsewhere. Why would they alter such a good thing they had going?
From:Barbi, 6/16

Comments: I can't seem to get these shoes to break in after 2 weeks. Terrible.
From:Tatiana, 5/16

Comments: I've worn nothing but Asics for the last several years and unfortunately this shoe is not breaking in. In fact, it has aggravated my foot enough to bring back my Plantar Fasciitis and it rubs my right ankle bone to the point that I simply can not wear them anymore. I"m terribly disappointed in the "improvements."
From:Amy, 4/16

Comments: Very, very narrow in the toe box and in the heel. I have used shoe strechers for week now and they are good for one match and then they come right off. Ouch.
From:Janice, 4/16

Comments: I have been very disappointed with these shoes which has rubbed the interior and exterior of my ankles raw, to the point of bleeding. I've worn the thickest pair of socks I own, and this still hasn't alleviated the problem. The only way I can possibly wear this shoe is to wear an ace bandage around my ankles to prevent blisters. Won't buy these again.
From:Annie, 4/16

Comments: I found this to be a very narrow shoe.
From:Tracy, 3/16

Comments: I agree with the review below. A lot more plastic particularly around the forefoot and where the big toe meets the ball of foot. I didn't have any foot pain with the previous version but with this update I do. Very inflexible. It has been difficult to find the right lace tension as well. Additionally, the shoe runs warm. So warm that if I take the insole out of the shoe there is visible condensation on the bottom of the insole and base of the shoe. Can't wait to take these off when I am done playing. I have a medium width with a medium arch and I play 4-5 hours a week.

Comments: This was my 5th pair of the Gel Solution Speed shoes I have purchased and have obviously been very happy with the shoe. Not this time. The changes to the toe box and heel (more plastic) have made the shoe too inflexible. I can't get it to break-in comfortably. If you truly have a narrow foot, it might work, but definitely not an improvement over the Speed 2. I play 4-5 hours/week.
