Detailed Review
The ASICS Men's Gel-Rocket 10 Indoor Court Shoes have been crafted with precision to meet the needs of indoor court athletes, particularly volleyball players. The breathable mesh upper provides optimal airflow, ensuring that your feet remain cool even during the most demanding games. With the Trusstic System technology integrated into the shoe, you will appreciate the reduced weight coupled with exceptional structural durability.
The heel wrap-up feature is an excellent addition, allowing for smoother landings which can significantly reduce the impact on your joints. Additionally, the flex grooves within the outsole promote greater flexibility, enabling you to make quick lateral movements easily.
On the downside, individuals with wider feet might find the fit somewhat constricting, so it’s advisable to try them on first if possible. Furthermore, since these shoes are primarily designed for indoor play, they may not serve well as outdoor footwear due to their sole composition.

User Reviews
Great looking shoe, with perfect fit, and felt great on my first run! Delivery was quick also!
Relatively inexpensive shoe that is comfortable and has great grip on the court surface. I have used this shoe for racquetball for many years and like the fit and support.
Product is great but i had bought another model in this size 13 and it was OK, this model seems to be a little larger so i cant enjoy them :(
I am an avid user if Asics shoes originally playing 20+ years of indoor and outdoor volleyball (sixes and doubles). I am an avid "pickler" now and have found this specific shoe to fit my need and movement on the court. The sole may not be intended fir the outdoor pickleball/tennis court surface as it wears down in 3 months (based on my playing 5 times a week and switching between two colors of this same shoe). But I love it for the price but mostly for the comfort (gel) and my feet are not sore at all after 4-5 hours of play in a day. It's so good that I bought an extra pair in case Asics stops making this model.
I needed a new racquetball shoe. Medical data shows that hi-tops don't significantly help to prevent ankle sprains. I'd worn dunks for decades but wanted a super light weight shoe. I decided to stop using dunks.I found the asics Gel Rocket 10, did my research, and determined that they should be great for indoor courts that have wood (volleyball, racquetball, squash) or that green / blue hard-court resin (like for tennis or pickleball).These shoes are GREAT for racquetball. Super grippy. Light weight (320 grams which is excellent - Salming shoes are at 300grams which are arguable the best in the biz but expensive).The inserts that come with it are very thin - too thin for my feet. I replaced them with the same Sof Sole Athletic inserts that are sold at Academy:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J7YQW1TThe result is near perfection IMO. I paid $65 for black ones during a sale on Amazon. I don't know of a better deal considering asics is a quality brand.Fit was pretty near spot on. I'm 11.5 US. Maybe just a hair too big but I know I have odd size feet. The new inserts brought me up a little higher which made the shoe fit perfect.Thanks asics for making this product. It's a good one.
I wear these for indoor Pickleball which in my area are on hardwood flooring also used for volleyball. My main compliment is that I don't notice them during play. Comfortable and just the right amount of grip. They do skid very slightly , which I like because it prevents me from locking and tearing my knees after a sudden change of direction. At the same time I have never slipped or fallen. They have held up well after several months of playing almost daily. I liked them enough to get a second pair for the future.
Bought these for indoor pickleball play. Great grip on floating floor surface. Good fit on my feet. Used for four 3hour sessions and very impressed
Play pickleball with these shoes about five times a week and love them. I'm on my third pair over a 7 year time span. They are very comfortable and hold up great.
