Asics Gel Resolution 2 Blue Men's Shoes Customer feedback
Comments: These shoes are very comfortable out of the box. Plenty of width for my wide feet and cushioning for running around the court. I find that they provide good traction and lateral support. They are not as flexible as the Prince T22 that I recently bought so I think these will hold up better over the long haul. They are not quite as stiff as the K-Swiss Stabilors out of the box. These shoes don't have as far forward a flex point in the sole as the Prince T22s do. The flex point is more on par with K-Swiss. These shoes don't hug your feet and fit quite as snuggly as the Prince shoes or the K-Swiss Stabilor. I really like the blue color as they really stand out. I play 3x a week and glad I found three nice pairs of shoes that I can wear interchangeably. A great non-traditional colored shoe.
Comments: Great shoe. Very comfortable, but wears out in less than 3 mos. At $95+ a pop, not very economical. Use Babalot(Roddick) now. Just as light, great support and after 3 mos, very little sign of wear. Better shoe for essentially same price. Play 3 to 4x per week.
Comments: Cool looking shoes, and they were really comfortable too, I just wish they lasted more than a month. I don't have the best footwork nor do I drag my feet an obscene amount, but during my high school season these literally lasted me a little less than a month, 3 and a half weeks to be exact, of playing 5 times of week. Other than durability, they're great shoes but if you play a lot they won't last. If you can afford new ones often then that's awesome because they are good shoes, but at 95 a pop I couldn't get another pair knowing I'd wear completely through them in another month.
Comments: I am ordering my 2nd pair now. I have used Adidas Barricade and Prince brands, but was not satisfied with the fit. So far, only ASICS fit my foot properly. No turf toe incidents in 2 years with the same pair. They are looking pretty worn now, but 2 years is pretty durable IMHO. I will also order another pair of running shoes (same reasons - running hilly trails).
Comments: Before injury, I moved extremely well. I had microfracture surgery on one of knees about a year ago but my knees still ached during and after play. Based on the recommendations of those on TW Talk Tennis forum and customer comments, I purchased the asics gel resolution 2 and used them on har-tru last night for the first time and played singles. I moved very well. They are a great performance shoe with outstanding comfort. All I know is that during play, immediately after play and today ( the day after) I have had no discomfort at all. The other knee which is also osteoarthritic also feels much better. Best I have felt in over two years!
Comments: I have used this shoe for around 60 days of playing. I am 3.0, don't run around too much. Already the right toe is coming out. Other than that it is really comfortable shoe. I used to use Barricade IV and it was really hard on the knee and I would have to clip toe nails. If you have money to spend every 3 months it is a good shoe. Otherwise find something else.
Comments: They might not be as durable but they are oh so comfy. I find that with durability comes the hefty price tag of comfort. For some reason, less durable shoes seem more comfortable, maybe because the material is softer and therefore less durable.
Comments: These are great shoes, they are comfortable, light and they provide enough support that I don't need any heel pads as with other shoes I used in the past.
Comments: Not as durable as the Barricade but a lot more comfortable. The Barricade usually lasted me 3 months the first pair of Asics lasted 2.5 months I'm on my second pair and will keep purchasing.
Comments: I'm a teaching pro and I put holes in both toes in less than 2 weeks. Cool looking shoes and that's about it. Go for barricade V's instead.
Comments: Very nice shoe. Comfortable. The main thing here is that I don't stub my toe when I'm racing to the net and have to stop short. Excellent support, light, low to the ground and very light. I'll buy another pair without question.
Comments: These are the most comfortable shoes I ever had. Used to be nothing but Kswiss, but not anymore. Besides, the blue Asics are just the right shoes for the right attitude on the court. It's eye catching. Lot of compliments from my partners and friends.
Comments: Super light/comfortable. Zero traction/support. Strongly advise against for advanced movers on a hard court.
Comments: This is the second pair of Gel Resolution I have bought. Right out of the box comfort. Very light, comfortable and supportive. I will only buy Asics from now on. A very good shoe.
Comments: The shoes are great, but unfortunately, don't have the best longevity. I have been a very loyal fan of the Nike Breathe Free II shoes, and these are equally comfortable and have significantly better traction. Even though the tread is nearly worn out, they still grip the court surprisingly well. In the Nike's, I found a very significant drop in traction after a few weeks of heavy playing. I'm still on the fence as to whether I'll keep using these shoes given the hefty price tag, but if nothing else, they'd be a great match-day shoe.
Comments: I thought I would love these shoes because the descriptions fit me pretty well. I try to get out and play as much as I can, but I usually only get out about once a week. I play tournaments when they are close. I bought these shoes at the beginning of the summer fully expecting them to last through the summer and my fall school season. As of now, August 1, there are holes in the toes of both shoes, and I am now looking at having to get another pair before summer is even over.
Comments: Have tried lots of shoes over the last 10 years but none have fit as well and been more comfortable. I play about three times a week the shoes fit like a glove and are very light weight. Not sure about durability have been playing with them for about two months and they seem to be wearing a bit.
Comments: These shoes are horrible. Sure they look great, but after only six weeks already have a hole in the toe. Compared to my Nike cages which lasted me about 8 months. They are very light compared to other shoes, but not half as much durability as other shoes in the same price range. If you must buy these shoes get them from somewhere with a six month warranty. Do not recommend.
Comments: Great shoe but after just 2 weeks my toe was coming out of the shoe. They're great shoes for someone who plays once a week but I'm switching back to the Barricades.
Comments: I have to agree with most of the positive sides the of the comments listed. I did not like two things about these shoes, however. First, the flat sole profile. If you like that kind of sole, then this is not a problem for you. Second, has anyone played on a really hot hard court with these yet? My feet felt like they were going to blister. I wear two pairs of Thor-Lo's and a full foot orthodic and the shoe still felt like it was very very hot on the bottom. I still prefer the Adidas Barricade. Never have had the hot foot and I like the heel-up profile.
Comments: Positive: These shoes fit well and have decent cushioning. Break in time was minimal and played great out of the box.
Negative: I got these shoes two months ago and play quite often. The soles are wearing out already.
Overall: Great for the weekend warrior but not for those who play more than four times a week.
Comments: These are great shoes. They are much lighter than Adidas barricade and even Nike cage. The problem is that they simply cant match up to the amazing quality and comfort of Asics running shoes. There are two things I really wish these had: 1) cross-lacing system like on nimbus 10 (would eliminate popping and lace tighter 2) more gel cushioning in the heel and balls of your feet. I also wish there was a six month durability guarantee. It sounds like a lot of complaints but all-in-all great shoe.
Comments: I've always liked Asics running shoes and liked the feedback I read on the Gel Resolution 2 so I decided to try a pair. I purchased these shoes about 2 months ago and they are the first shoe I've ever been able to wear comfortably out of the box and on the court without having to break them in. I've been wearing the Barricade 2's, but these are much more comfortable and much lighter. The wear on the shoes is ok. I slipped a few times recently because of wearing tread and I'm about to wear a hole in the toe, but, I will continue purchasing this model. They look cool and they feel great.
Comments: I first purchased this shoe because I was looking to try
something new, but I ended up REALLY enjoying them. They are very light
and comfortable. The only problem is that they aren't very durable.
Overall, a very good shoe.
Comments: I purchased these shoes based on fellow comments on this board and I am glad I did. It takes a few days to break them in before they become comfortable and supportive. I am glad Asics is giving Nike and Adidas a run for their money. Asics is known for making great running shoes, now finally, they have made a great pair of tennis shoes.
Comments: I purchased these shoes based on fellow comments on this board and I am glad I did. Although, it takes a few days to break them in before they become comfortable and supportive.

Comments: I've been running/jogging on Asics for years and they've been awesome. So, I wanted to love these shoes too. They would be fine....EXCEPT FOR THE ANNOYING POPPING SOUND that the plastic cage around the toe box makes. The upside is during play I don't notice it as much. Definitely not a kicking around shoe unless you want your shoes to be heard and not seen. Seriously, for $100 I don't want to hear pop...pop...pop while I'm walking.
Comments: Very, very comfortable. Very quick break-in. The shoe conforms to your foot well and has good traction and stability. I play almost every day for at least 2 hours. I have played 2 intense matches and otherwise just practice. After 2 weeks, the tread on the medial toe area is smooth. Great shoe on every aspect except for durability. Overall:9.5/10
Comments: If you prefer speed, quickness and explosion, get this shoe. Quick feet, agility, lateral explosion are vital to my game. I tried the latest generation of the Barricade and I'll never wear that shoe again; like wearing ankle weights. The Resolution fits naturally, maybe a one-day break in period but that's it. Stability and comfort are not compromised. However, if you play 5-6 days a week, with aggressive all-court play, look to replace them in about 4-5 months.
Comments: Simply the most comfortable tennis shoe that I have ever worn.
Comments: Great shoe right out of the box. This is the second pair of gel resolutions I have worn. Comfort, fit, durability and quality are all top notch. The weight of the shoe is excellent if you are going to play a lot of tennis in one day. Highly recommend.
Comments: I wore these shoes around the house for about 3 days before I thought they were going to be okay. They seemed very stiff, but after getting on the court I must say very nice. Great support and comfort. I have a wider foot, but these feel good. They do have a smaller toe box, but still very comfortable. My previous shoe was the Kswiss Ultra but never really got the right fit because of no 1/2 sizes above 12.
Comments: I hate to say it, but these shoes have replaced my Barricade Vs as my preferred shoes. I don't know about others, but with my Barricades, sudden stops and turns really hurt my toes (specifically the toenails). With these Asics, though, I feel like I'm playing with pillows on my feet. These are absolutely fantastic! Traction, comfort, and performance excel with these shoes. I played for 5 hours and afterward, my feet felt great! Highly recommended and a must buy!
Comments: Fabulous!!! These Asics provide an excellent fit, smooth cushioning, excellent stability, great look. I have played 4-5 hours of 5.0 singles three days in a row using these new shoes, and they provide the most cushioning of any shoe I have ever used. They are very comfortable and they provide stable support!! I love playing tennis in these shoes for more court time and better results beating my friends. If you love playing competitive tennis you should try ASICS to see if they fit your feet. If they do you will be so very happy!!!
Comments: Like most here, I loved these shoes for the first couple of months I had them. Unfortunately, they really fell apart quickly, and I'm not very hard on shoes at all. The sides lost most of their support and the soles wore out in no time. The orange ASICS logos on the sides even peeled off! In two and a half months, these shoes looked like I'd been playing in them for two and a half years. I guess I'll go back to Barricade IIs, as long as they make them. Darn, it's getting hard to find a good pair of shoes these days.
Comments: I can't believe I just paid 95 bucks for these. Light and good ventilation, but
nothing special. Yonex 305 were twice as good for same price.
Comments: Great shoes!
It is easy to feel better after playing 4 hours of singles tennis in these excellent shoes. Great support, great cushion, excellent fit, excellent in every dimension. Best shoes ever!!!
Comments: I have been a committed Price shoe player for a number of years. I decided to give the Asics Gel Revolution 2 a try because of the companies great reputation in the running shoe industry. No complaints regarding fit, arch support, weight, stability, and overall comfort, but the outer sole is gone after less than two months of play. Not long enough for my money. So much for the "ASICS High Abrasion Resistant Rubber" on the hard courts in northern CA. FYI, 6 month sole guarantees don't last 6 months on my feet either, but usually 5. I play tournament level 4.0 tennis and am on the court 5-6 days a week. I'm back in my trusty Prince MV4's for the foreseeable future.
Comments: Great shoe. I have had issues with my ankles and arches. This shoe gives me the support I need, but is comfortable. Played hard with them with no break in and they felt better than my Nikes and K-Swiss that were well broken in.
Comments: This is flat-out the best court shoe I've ever had! I was formerly a K-Swiss fan, but this shoe is in a different league. It has the best cushioning system ever without compromising lateral stability. It is also very cool, lightweight and reasonably durable. A great find for my feet and game. I thought the original Resolution was good, but the GR2 is even better!
Comments: Just for the record, I play with ASO Ankle Braces and the inner lining around the heel and ankle had huge holes after some few tennis sessions. The shoe is great, feels fast, stable and light, but I think I am going back to my 100% reliable Barricades next time.
Comments: I love, repeat: I love these shoes! After many hours of play, I'm leaving my first feedback with painless feet and legs for these great shoes. I used to be an all Adidas guy, but these shoes have won me over; they're lightweight but have just as much stability as the Barricade IVs, great grip on hard courts and clay, and the best shock absorption I've ever played with. Barricades were too stiff and my feet were fatigued after any play with them though they are rock solid and durable. I get to many more balls with the speedy Asics. Only honest concern is that pattern on the sole of this shoe is not meant for Har-Tru. I clean my shoes of the clay at home after every time I play and the clay does not come out easily, and after a few minutes on the court sliding becomes difficult to pull off. I would say these are meant for hard courts and not clay as TW suggests on shoe finder. I'm off to try the Feathers!
Comments: This is my second favorite tennis shoe of all those I've ever tried. Nike Breathe Free II is still #1. These are the closest I've come to those, although they are in fact much different. Mainly, they are lower to the ground. They have a softness and spring greater than any shoe I've tried maybe even the BFII: way better than Air Vapor IV or V; better than Barricade. You put on a Vapor or Barricade and then a Gel Resolution, you will immediately notice the difference. If you play 10 hours per week or more, you'll probably also notice a difference in the amount of pain you feel in certain parts of your legs. These shoes feel light and fast. The price is also lower than a new pair of Nike or Adidas, though with the new prices on BFII sale, I guess those are even cheaper than the newest Gel Resolution.
Comments: I'll never wear Adidas tennis shoes again. Lately I've been on a New Balance kick, and still absolutely love them. I'm very impressed with Asics now too. Adidas and Nike make a great *looking* shoe, but that's about it. Asics and New Balance focus more on the comfort and support, and you can definitely tell! These shoes are very very comfortable. I play on clay courts a lot and have only hit for about an hour, but I usually have to break shoes in to slide and had no problem with these. Great shoes all around!
Comments: Excellent shoes. I recently wore the New Balance 1003 and they were no comparison. The Resolution is very comfortable, offer great lateral support and wears nicely. They are such an improvement over the New Balance I gave the New Balance away.
Comments: One of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. The problem with this shoe is durability. I've had them 2 weeks, and have almost worn a hole in one of the shoes. For comparison my Barricades usually last about 5 months. I can't afford to buy a new pair of shoes every month so this will be my last pair.
Comments: Nice shoe, and the orange is more subtle than the pictures depict. However, not for folks who need a wide toe box. Barricade II's and KSwiss Glaciators are the narrowest shoes that fit me without foot problems. Looks like I'll have to go back to New Balance 2EE's or possibly Prince/Wilson to get the width I need.
Comments: After years of using Asics running shoes and Diadora tennis shoes, I decided to try these Gel Resolution II shoes. From the first point, I was able to feel the great cushioning in the forefoot. The support is very good, and of course, heel strike is muted due to the gel pads. The shoe looks hi-tech, but you can feel the engineering went deep into this well constructed shoe. I was using the Diadora Speed Zone shoes, but the Gel Resolution II takes things a step further with the extra lateral support and carpet-like cushion properties. Expensive? Maybe. But I feel the preventive maintenance to one's body with good equipment beats the heck out of knee/hip replacements! Bravo, Asics! By the way I play 5 times per week, at 4.5/5.0 level.
Comments: I've purchased all the Nikes (breathe, ballistics, and vapor V) and they don't compare to these Asics. This is my first time purchasing these and what I love is the fact that I don't develop any blisters. On the other hand, my Nikes would give me blisters on both feet after matches. Also, I have pretty wide feet and the Asics fit comfortably. I rely on my speed and I was able to change direction without slipping with the Asics. If you are an aggressive hard court baseliner, these are the shoes for you!
Comments: The popping noise is actually due to the rubber on the top of the toebox, I noticed it when I tied my laces too tight, so when you bend at the balls of your feet the rubber makes a popping noise since the rubber pad doesn't have anywhere to go. Absolutely has no effect on the performance. I got around this by tightening every lace other than the first set. Awesome shoe, I've worn barricades for 5+ years, definitely not going back to Adidas, Asics are better than you think!
Comments: Just got a pair of these and I have to say I am very pleased and that these are probably the most comfortable tennis shoes I have ever had. I think I will buy a second pair for later use. However, if you have a wide foot as I do, I would go with a half size larger. I got my regular size and they were too narrow; half size bigger and they fit like slippers! I could not get the original Gel Resolution that Asics made a few years ago on my foot no matter what, but these I could. Excellent cushioning and great arch support; light weight too. This shoe has a rare combination that I have not found in other tennis shoes. I had been using Nike Max Air Breathe Free for a few years- they were the only Nike I could get on my wide foot. Never felt like I had the cushioning though. In regards to use out of the box- yeah you can, but I disagree with the posts above because I think they are a little stiff and need some break in, but it is no big deal. Just wish Asics would make a wide size so we "flat foots" could buy true to size!!
Comments: These shoe are the best thing that has ever happened. The first time I went out to play with them I had countless amount of people come up to me and tell me how beautiful they were.
Comments: This is just a great shoe. I have played with the Breathe Cages for three years. I switched because of knee problems. They are so comfortable and they really do take pressure off of your knees and ankles.
Comments: Asics are generally underrated across the board since they don't do a lot of
advertising or big sponsorships. These shoes are simply fantastic. They'll take away two steps to every ball with their low to the ground and lightweight feel, but still offer the stability and comfort the most aggressive players need. I've had bloody feet with some of the top tennis shoes out there... not the Asics Resolution2!
Comments: Shoes make a popping noise. Didn't have the problem until after the first week.
Comments: For starters this is a great shoe. Fit is true to size, the comfort is spectacular, it's lightweight, and it looks very appealing. My only gripe/frustration about this shoe is the durability! But still it's a great shoe, I just wished there were a durability guarantee on these.
Comments: My first pair of Asics were the Resolution, and I just loved them right out of the box, I was wearing Barricade IV and Vs (too hard to break in). The Resolution 2 seem a lot stiffer and require some break in. My feet were real sore the first two times I wore them. They are a great court shoe, once broken in.
Comments: I thought I was the only one but I also think these shoes run 1/2 a size larger. I am a size 10 but bought a 9.5 on these. Very comfortable and nice fit. They feel better, have more cushioning and are not as stiff as my Babolat Propulse. I am very please with them.
Comments: 4.5 player. Great shoe. A little meatier than other Asics. No break in needed.
Comments: As an owner of the original Gel Resolution, I really love the Asics. I just got the Gel Resolution 2 in last week, and I noticed two things about these shoes: 1) The size seems to run larger than the Gel Resolution (I am in a 10 in the Resolution...but the 10 in the Resolution 2 seems about 1/2 size too large)
2) The rubber cage that runs across the toe box seems a bit stiff. Does that material break in? Wondering what you folks can offer on feedback. Thanks.
Comments: Awesome shoe. Runs small in my opinion, so I got an 11 vs. 10.5. Very very comfortable, and the shock absorption is spectacular. I was using Yonex sht-306's and thought they were comfy. These are the cream of the crop. Highly recommend.
Comments: Do yourself a favor.. get a pair of these; save your knees and ankles (I have chronic knee problems), and improve your game. Shoes are wide enough for my feet (have had terrible luck with Asics before on account of how narrow the shoes were) These shoes feel like a glove..fantastic, low to ground support and feel. I was bumming when they stopped making Yonex SHT-305's...I have found the shoes I'll be using the rest of my tennis playing life.
Comments: Like all ASICS in general, a great fit, secure in the heel and a comfortable forefoot. They are durable, yet lighter than most. Durability is overrated. Four months with a pair of shoes you never have to think about while playing are worth every penny.
Comments: Again, like the first RESOLUTION, simply fantastic shoe! Thoughtful improvements to the original version make this shoe on of the elite shoes on the market today. In the electric blue, it is a monster! Imagine all the mobility, comfort and ventilation of the classic Nike Breathe Free 2, married to the stability of an Adidas Barricade, with the shock absorption of an Asics running shoe, and you might have some idea of what this shoe is like to play in - and MORE with this version. Low to the ground, very light, cool (even better the the original), comfortable, and very stable -- it is indeed in a class by itself. This the best new all-around tennis shoe to come around in years! I can't imagine a player who this shoe wouldn't suit. I have tried everything out there, and this shoe rules supreme. Truly the perfect shoe. I LOVE THIS SHOE.
Comments: This is really a nice shoe. A little stiff initially, but wears well, good support and not as narrow in the front as the Nike Breathe series or Vapors. Excellent aesthetically with a new look.
Comments: Great shoe. Very comfortable and soft. Just a little showy... Buy these!
Comments: I've always loved Asics and this last version of the Gel Resolution is amazing. These shoes are the best you can get if you like lightweight shoes IMO. Very comfortable and stable even for the most demanding players. Definitely a speed oriented/aggressive shoe. Some people are skeptical about the color (aster blue), but in person they are less flashy than in the website picture. They just look awesome.
Comments: One of the reasons I have bought Asics in the past was the price. The price gap between Asics and Adidas seems to be closing, now I do not know if I rather buy me a pair of Barricades instead, have to give it a think.
Comments: Simply the best tennis shoe ever made. Take it from a 55-year-old former touring pro (#42 in the world). I have tried them all. Unlike racquets, which "new technology" these days doesn't make a significant difference (still sporting my '84 Graphite 90), the new technology in shoes is just mind-blowing. Traction, support, all are at least twice as good as shoes from my day. Now that you're bored, the only reason that these are the best shoes on today's market is purely comfort. In terms of a "glove-like fit," these shoes are as good as you'll get (compared to the three newest other shoes on the market today: Nike Air CourtBallistic 1.3, Nike Air Vapor VI, and Adidas CC Genius). Traction and support are also fantastic, can't comment on durability; only had them for a few days. To sum it all up, a must buy for anyone looking to improve their tennis game.
