Thanks for the amazing review! I actually got these for fencing, but this was a huge help in making my decision 😊

[@tshiringlama446]

Thank you so so much for the review.

[@akshaygupta89]

Was waiting for this review, probably the first one on the tube

[@davidlazarovich]

Always great review/comparison. I would love to see a review of the the new Blade FF now that all the gel is gone and it’s just more FF.

[@AlecFortescue]

Seen this recommended for fencing. Ordered some and hopefully they'll fit. Really needed new shoes to get into competitions.

[@RandomGuy-jj4fv]

awesome dude

[@josemanuel2244]

Like the looks of the up court, can it be use for all day walking shoe?

[@Mm-sp3vx]

I just bought this today, I didn’t realize how firm they are. Does this have enough cushioning?!

[@slowerslowidk]

I tried 9 and 10 before a few times and I found that only 11 is the most fit size for me. For some reason 9 and 10 series are too small. Because of a half size Asics is not actually 28.5, but 28.25cm they were tiny for me. In series 11 they fixed it, even though they are also marked as 28.25

[@ahmtrublu]

They released a wide version as well.

[@sdeinternational685]

I have the 11 wide version, perfect fit for my wide feet.

[@kaushalendrapandey893]

Thanks for the update, how is the cushion partially for persons having knee / ankle pain. I am having weight 95kg with 50 Yrs of age. So which one will be the best.

[@abadalexis2090]

is it good for rough surfaces or outdoor volleyball?

[@Anaghakunjir99]

Can i use them for Badminton??

[@andywong2584]

Thanks for the review. Are these shoes non-marking?

[@squashsource]

Yes

[@kooker100]

Gel rocket is little bit wider even on its normal variant compared to upcourt 5. I can wear 7uk gel rocket but need 8uk for upcourt 5.

[@frankie3614]

Which Asics option do you think is the most narrow of them all? I have crazy narrow feet. Do any seem more narrow than the rockets?
Thanks for all your detailed reviews!

[@squashsource]

The most narrow I’ve personally tried on were the Asics Gel Game 9

[@dhruvarora9860]

Would you recommend this as a good pair for a Tennis court?

[@squashsource]

I don't play much tennis but this is a good all around court shoe so it probably works fine. Maybe not for clay court though.

[@KJohnStanley1]

Nice Video. Is this shoe good for indoor Table Tennis?

[@squashsource]

I don’t know about table tennis sorry

[@raghavendraanjana29]

Bought these today for my badminton sessions..

[@aaravgosling]

​@@raghavendraanjana29same

[@FawwadMemon]

Are they good for walking jogging gym and treadmill ? Or just indoors / court games ?

[@cces7484]

buy a running shoes. these shoes are designed for moving in every direction therefore it has a grip on floor which is quite heavy compared to running shoes.

[@user-ee7dr4ir2o]

Buy running shoes these shoes are designed for indoor use only

[@abinjohn2544]

Is gel rocket 11 good for badminton, if not could you please suggest some badminton shoes for this price range, thank you!

[@johnlheibel5733]

how do they fit width wise. I have a wider toebox

[@squashsource]

I think a bit narrow

[@sdeinternational685]

Buy the wide version , for 11 there is option for wide

[@ahmadariadi9710]

How durability upper gel rocket 11 Please

[@squashsource]

I think it’s not super durable (for squash) because of stitching around the toe box

[@FlowerWoman]

What size are these?

[@squashsource]

11.5 US Men’s

[@Doorbeam]

Can this used for training like rope jump, boxing , gym? Does is have that stability..Thanks

[@squashsource]

I didn't test those activities so I can't say for sure. Squash has lots of lunging and lateral movement so I'm guessing these would work for you just not 100% certain.

[@vinoojacob2706]

​@@squashsource OK. Thank you

[@Dukestboy96]

Any update?

[@mohammedayaan3b963]

Squash source how about the longevity

[@squashsource]

I didn't use these long enough to test the longevity. Usually Gel Rockets are decent in terms of durability but the stitching on the toes starts to come apart after a while, depending on how much you drag your feet

[@joacofernandez9073]

what shoes do you recommend for libero?

[@squashsource]

I don’t know about this sorry

[@vayu6424]

Can I wear them outdoor?

[@squashsource]

Sure. They are designed for indoor courts but there’s no reason you can’t wear them outdoors

[@zeusbolt9712]

So gel rocket 10 or gel rocket 11

[@squashsource]

11 if same price but if you get a good deal on the 10 go for it
