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.

[@jcriver361]

Hi, hope you are doing great! Thanks for the review, I’ve gotten the gel rocket 11, working pretty decent so far on court, just looking to replace the insoles, which ones would you recommend?

[@josemanuel2244]

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

[@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.

[@RandomGuy-jj4fv]

awesome dude

[@Mm-sp3vx]

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

[@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

[@abinjohn2544]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@FlowerWoman]

What size are these?

[@squashsource]

11.5 US Men’s

[@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

[@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?

[@joacofernandez9073]

what shoes do you recommend for libero?

[@squashsource]

I don’t know about this sorry

[@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

[@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
