First things first, why do you need trainers specifically designed for tennis and not just wear your normal gym trainers? You need tennis specific shoes, because they give you the ankle support needed to do lateral movements, diagonal movements, and forward movements. Cross trainers are only designed to move forward, not back or side to side.Naturally, if you only play once or twice a year, save your money and stick with normal trainers but if tennis is your regular sport, you need to get the right equipment to protect your ankles and knees from the strains that quick stops-and-starts produce.Tennis trainers have a much harder sole than other trainers. You could not go running in them,just as running trainers are too soft and lightweight to cope with the rigours of playing tennis. This pair would probably be ok for occasional gym use (cross trainer/ cycling etc)So why did I chose these ones? Randomly, I bought a pair of Asics 22 years ago, and to this day they are my favourite tennis shoes. The sole has not worn, they are still firm, they do not smell, and they are comfortable as a duvet on my feet! I'm a regular player, intermediate/ advanced standard, playing 4-6 hours a week, and have been buying new trainers every six months for the past ten years (Nike, reebok, Adidas etc) but to no avail. I always return to my beloved Asics. When I bought them I was young, I was ashamed that they weren't a "brand" - it felt like the equivalent of wearing Pound Shop plimsoles on court! However, they fitted my feet and my teenage budget and I needed a pair...Over the years I have loved them more and more, like a dear friend you can always rely on, but they are old and I can't wear them forever. So last week, when I was sat court-side wincing at the toe-pain my new Nikes were causing me after four hours tennis, I was surprised when my doubles partner skipped in announcing she'd just bought a new pair of Asics. I'd long assumed they had given up production, like the HiTecs of this world (don't be telling me they still make HiTecs or I will faint!). So I swiftly went online and found as many pairs of Asics on Amazon as I could, and erm, bought them all! (No longer on a student budget).I wore these ones today, on indoor carpet for a match. They were comfortable to wear - good arch support, widening out in the toe a little - so my feet weren't slipping around inside the trainers due to the tighter middle and there was plenty of room for my toes to not be squished either. The sole is reasonably solid and the grip was good enough for indoor use. Asics created the gel insole (a long time ago, because my original pair were Challenger 3's and they had them), which basically acts as a shock absorber, again reducing the strain on your leg joints. At the end of the 2 hour session, no hint of blisters or pains - which is common in new trainersHaving tried two Asics pairs today, I can recommend these ones for regular wear (not frequent). If you play a couple of hours a month, go for it. The sole is a little flexible, which would concern me for playing over sustained periods of time, and I am guessing Asics tried to produce a lighter weight trainer than is usual. There is no harm in this at all, it's just a personal preference. My old feet need a firmer base. However at this price (I paid £16.50, size 5), they are beyond a bargain, they are a steal!

Good shoes for recreational tennis. I'm just starting to play tennis and they seem stable holding my ankle. I have a pair of ASIC shoes for running which I use a lot and this ones are the ones for tennis! Good value for money for someone that doesn't play several times a week.

Speedy service, received before the expected delivery date. Packaged really well. Fits just as expected (Asics are slightly smaller than usual, so i ordered 6.5 instead of 6 and they are perfect for me). Great grip on the court. Would recommend shoes, and seller.
