This 10th generation of the Gel Resolution delivers stability, durability, and comfort! A great option for players looking for trusty and comfortable shoes.
The Asics Gel Resolution X (2E) takes stability, durability, and comfort to the next tier as Asics incorporates key updates, and builds upon the popularity of the previous generation (Asics Gel Resolution 9). A re-engineered Dynawall maximizes the lateral stability, while maintaining comfort as you plant and cut aggressively for changes in direction. The midsole is now more plush than previous versions with a combination of FlyteFoam Blast+ and ECO Foam; forget not the signature Gel cushioning in the forefoot. The medial side of the ankle collar has been raised to provide comfortable padding, while the PGUARD on the medial side of the toe box provides drag protection, for those players who slide on hard courts. A Full length AHAR Plus rubber outsole carries on the reputation of being one of the most durable in the industry, and the tread pattern provides good grip on a variety of surfaces. Backed by a Tennis Warehouse six month outsole durability guarantee.
- Upper: DYNALACING for a customizable fit and added comfort when cinching the laces tightly. Full length Flexion Fit upper with increased support, comfort, and ventilation.
- Midsole: FlyteFoam Blast+ and ECO Foam combine for cushioning and energy return. Asics' signature GEL adds to the shock absorption, and a responsive feel under foot. The Dynawall system is redesigned for more lateral stability and improved comfort on the lateral side of the foot.
- Outsole: Full length AHAR Plus rubber outsole in a multi-directional tread pattern, with pivot points for durability and traction on any court surface. PGuard Toe Protector for those who slide and toe drag. Backed by a tennis warehouse six month outsole durability guarantee.

Tennis shoesGreat tennis shoe. Very comfortable color is great
Not as good as previous versionsI had pairs of both the 8 and 9 and really likes them. For the X, they changed the material of the outer shell around the toes. Before it was soft like cloth. Now it is hard and stiff like plastic. It’s not breaking in and does the popping when you bend your toes. Very disappointing. I would not buy these again
Best Shoe Ive hadAs a high school tennis player, these shoes have lasted me months on end compared to other Asics and other brands, and they feel great on my feet. They allow me to be light and agile why still providing comfort and the ability to slide.
Terrible Update, Switching Brands as a ResultGel resolution 9/8 were amazing, best tennis shoes ever. The 10 absolutely suck, and fit differently than previous models. Why even change the fit? Your previously loyal customers were used to the consistent fit, now it's completely different... What are you even thinking Asics? Fire who ever made these decisions
Too hard and narrowI bought this pair for 6 month durability warranty but the show is too hard that I had ro loose the shoelace. Don't recommend for wide feet.
Good shoeThis version X feels different than previous versions, including 9. I compared versions 9 and X, but find very little difference in width and length. I do find that version X is little roomier than previous versions; my feet are "average" bulk. Version X took 2-3 days to break in, although other versions did not take any time; I would flex the shoe fully about 20 times before hitting the court. I expect manufacturers make changes to their shoe in newer versions as was done in version X. Still a good shoe.
Nothing to do with Gel Resolution Brand nameI have been wearing 10+ pairs of gel res 8 &9 shoes but unfortunately this gel res 10 is totally moving towards the other direction. It’s much longer, wider and heavier, super difficult to break in. I have to return it and shop for other alternatives
Worst Asics shoeThe shoe hurts my feet. Very uncomfortable. Feels like bricks on your feet in a fast runner and feel like the shoes slow me down
Terrible DurabilityUnfortunately this will be my last time purchasing ASICS tennis shoes.
Aside from the terribly long break in period, the soles of these shoes don’t hold up nearly as well as I needed them to. After one month of use the bottoms of my shoes were completely slick. There were times that I had forceful take offs and my foot slid right out from under me. I am going to switch back to Nike. I’m scared if I continue using these shoes, I will get injured.
Other than the cool color scheme, I can’t say anything else positive about these shoes.
Asics PLEASE bring back 8 or 9sMy son has been wearing Gel Resolution 8s for several years and loved them for their stability on the tennis court. These new shoes are terrible and nothing like the older version. Asics, why the major departure from a good solid shoe? Please bring back something like the older styles. We are now scrambling to find something comparable.
AsicsI have been wearing ASICS Gels for 25 years. I like this model’s wider width. The comfort is consistent with my experience with previous pairs. The lace system is unique, but is easy to use. Comments on the laces have had some negative comments which was an initial concern. I definitely would recommend this new version
They Changed a Good Thing...This used to be my go-to, but the new version is a mess. The high ankle support is too bulky, rubs my ankle, and the shoe aggravates my heel. The front bends awkwardly and puts weird pressure on the top of my foot — it just feels off with every step. They took a great design and made it worse.
I play rec basketball, so I’ll repurpose these for the bball court and find a better tennis shoe.
Great Shoe!The fit (true to size), grip and style are all on point with this shoe. They’ve felt comfortable and assured right out of the box.
TerribleI have worn multiple Gel Resolutions 8 and 9 since I need a wide shoe(2E). They are very comfortable. The current version 10 is terrible and does not fit well. It feels too stiff and my feet hurt on the sides. Please bring back 9!!
Bring Back the 9s or 8sThese 10s are too large compared to previous versions. And don't look as nice. Bring back the previous versions, this is a bad direction. Shame on asics
Overall BEST shoe with a 6 month guarantee.If you want maximum durability with comfort and no break-in time required, also NO TOE jamming like most other shoes. This shoe is stable when you need a little more support. The only bad part of the shoe is that it's kinda heavy, due to the amount of tread/rubber.
Downgraded a great lineup of shoesAs someone who has gone through multiple pairs of the Gel Res 8s and 9s, these new "upgrade" has sort of ruined everything that was great about this lineup. They've become stiffer and uncomfortable to wear. I never had arch related issues with the previous models but my right foot upper area hurts when I wear my everyday shoes. The lacing system is complicated to say the least. It can be either too tight or too loose and it's difficult to find the perfect balance. They feel heavier and stiffer now which will probably make them even more durable but at the cost of comfort. Tennis shoes are supposed to enhance your movement and protect your feet, these shoes do the opposite.
2E is weirdly narrowThis shoe fits very, very strangely - either too long or too wide. For reference, I'm a woman with flat feet / low arches and usually don't have trouble finding a shoe that fits. I usually buy a 9.5 Women's (usually D width, occasionally B, as with the New Balance 996v6 and Coco CG2) or a 8.0 Men's (D width). For these, I had to buy a 7.5 Men's (2E) to get a proper fit. I tried my usual size 8.0 (D width), since I have Gel Resolution 9s in that same size. It felt too long, but the width was okay. Then, I tried a 7.5 (D), and it was too narrow, squeezing my pinky toe and creating a blister. Finally, I tried a 7.5 (2E!!!), and it was wider, but my pinky toe occasionally hits the side of the shoe if I'm wearing thin socks. The toe box on the X is very strange.
So, for someone with low arches and medium-wide feet like me, I went from a men's 8.0 Gel Resolution 9 (D) to a men's 7.5 Gel Resolution X (2E) to finally get something usable. If you do try these shoes, be aware that you may have a shoe that fits lengthwise, but feels narrow because the toe box is shaped weird. On the flip side, you might get a shoe that's too long in your usual size, but the toe box on it fits well. Recommend buying a bunch of sizes if you really like the style of the shoe - otherwise, look elsewhere or try to find the Gel Res 9s.
Great shoeAfter seeing all these low star ratings I thought it might not live up to it's name. But after hitting with it it felt great, no problems with breaking it in for me and it didn't hurt even on the first day. Great shoe and I love the how it looks!
HorribleI love the Gel 9's and thought this would be an improved version, but to my dismay these must be the worst court shoes I have ever tried. Blister on my pinky toe after an hour on court. Asics needs to pull this X line off the shelf and re-issue the Gel 9's!!
Shoe doesn't fit wellDon't recommend this shoes. My regular size of US9 felt a bit wide for my foot. I tried US8.5 which was narrow towards the toes and I could feel the toes getting squeezed. I wish Asics continued Gel Resolution 9 which fitted perfectly well for my foot.
Not like previous modelsEven though the shoe is not like previous models, it has a lot of great things going for it if you try it and the shoe fits you. I personally did not like any of the other models. They always felt really heavy and never really felt right for me. This shoe after breaking it in is extremely comfortable. Yes, you have to lace them up but for my foot shape it has been an amazing shoe. I’m saddened that the many negative reviews will most likely discontinue this issue pretty early on. I will definitely stock up on these pairs to enjoy them.
Absolute ruinedI loved the old Asics Gel Res 9’s but these just suck. There is too much material. The lacing system is a mess. This shoe is not worth it at all.
Hurting my ankleI have been using Resolution for years. But this shoes hurt my ankle a lot. I have to put in additional insoles to raise my feet a bit to avoid the ankle pain.
A good shoe with a terrible fit.This shoe has pretty incredible durability and stability, I have wide flat feet and with OTC orthotics in these I can play on hard courts for 3 hours with no foot pain. However, the fit on these is ATROCIOUS. I went a half size down and even then they just feel awful. The heel slips, the mid sole lockdown is downright painful, and the sidewalls take so long to break in that you will likely have blisters on your toes for at least a week.
For reference I have 2E flat feet. I don't see any reason to get these over the Speed FF3s, given that those have all the same support and durability but actually fit like a normal shoe.
The downfallIt had been so many generations of great resolutions, I was waiting for the flop, here it is. I didn’t expect it to be this bad. They’re clunky, the high medial wall rubs, no lockdown
Disappointing from AsicsUncomfortable out of the box and have had little success breaking them in. Just a strange shoe - very long and runs big. Won't be recommending this model.
Horrible shoeI do not understand why people would give it a high rating.
Constant chafing near the ankles, heavy, very far from nimble. Tried them on court once and instantly knew this shoe was not going to work. I would not wear these even if someone paid me money. Lost a Gel Res fan today. Been a fan for years.
Worst version yet.I have worn and loved the Asics Gel Resolution 8 and 9 for years, so I figured the X would continue this trend. But Asics inexplicably decided to change a lot about this shoe for the X and all the of the changes are for the worse. The X feels more stiff, less stable, less comfortable, and less secure. I played with it for one session and immediately returned it. Go back to your good design, Asics.
Good shoe - no heel lockDefinitely very rigid shoes which probably means they’ll be durable. I do find them comfortable, didn’t cause any pain on first use. I do wish they had a better way to heel lock
Great Customer Service & shoeI purchased and absolutely loved these. They were suppose to be durable and had a tiny rip after a month, so I asked Tennis Warehouse and they were kind enough to exchange them. But the shoes are amazing and I have tried the Mach 15, The Gel Resolution X, and Nikes. These are hands down my favorite, feels great on my feet and feel supported when I’m playing pickle. Definitely recommend these over the X, the X fit very different, they added space to the shoe. So I loved these and Tennis Warehouse thank you for allowing me to exchange. You’ve earned a lifetime customer
Worst VersionI have worn Gel Res for several years and this is the worst version by far. The shoes come a half size too big. They are super stiff and feel like blocks. The break in period is really long. Have been playing in them for 6 hours and still they are not fully broken in. Not sure why Asics changed a perfectly good shoe. The Gel Res 9s were the best. This one missed the mark.
ASICS ResolutionGreat shoe with good support. I wear a men’s shoes as it has bigger toe box than ladies model.
XLittle heavier than previous model…
Heavy and stiff, uncomfortable shootPreviously, I wore the ASICS gel resolution 9 shoe 11 1/2 and I was very happy with that shoe… I thought this issue would be similar but was not the case at all. I started with the standard resolution 10 in a size 11, which was recommended when I called in, and that shoe was way too narrow for my wide foot. So, I sent it back and got the resolution 10 size 11 2E. Although it was wide enough for my foot, the shoe is heavy and stiff, and I thought maybe it just needed to be worked in a little bit and so I walked around in it for one day and there was no way I was going to purchase that shoe! So I sent it back for a refund. It’s so unfortunate that they change the similar models so much shoe by shoe and now I have to try and figure out what my next shoe is going to be. Andrew.
Not soft enoughShoes are not as flexible as other ASICS tennis shoes I've used in the past.
Would not recommendHave worn Gel Resolutions for the past four years and was disappointed in this offering. For the first time, my feet hurt after wearing. A very different shoe than the Gel Res 9.
Worst gel resolutionsBeen a long term gel resolution fan. Was excited to try the new gel res X as they look great… however was instantly disappointed on how box like, heavy and much it resembled a snow boot…
The inner material near the ankle is so hard I started to bleed.. I gave it a good 6-8 hours and it progressively felt worse. One of the worst shoes I’ve worn and ASICs really messed up. For me Gel 8 was 8.5stars, gel 9s a 9star and the Gel X receives 1 star just for the good aesthetic appearances
Avoid this shoe at all cost
Stable and comfortableNot sure what everyone’s complaining about… as someone who beats up their shoes and always wears out the inside upper of my shoes sliding, braking and shreds my shoe laces… the changes are welcome. Super comfortable. I can see going down half a size but went true to size with Thorlo socks.
Just greatGreat, comfortable and lightweight
Best Resolution ever!!!After testing them, I consider these shoes to be the best Resolution I’ve ever used. They have improved significantly in comfort, especially for wide feet. I wouldn’t recommend them for narrow feet, as they might feel loose even with tighter lacing.
They offer more cushioning, are less rigid, and more stable than previous versions. Although they seem heavier, this doesn’t bother me, probably because I’m used to the FF3. Regarding durability, I have some doubts about certain lateral areas where the plastic is less dense.
Some people mention a plastic feel in the upper and that the sizing runs large, but I haven’t had any issues. I don’t think going half a size down solves the loose fit, as it’s more about the shoe’s width.
They feel higher, which gives me a greater sense of stability. Also, I had no adaptation issues or blisters; they felt comfortable and secure from the first use. In summary, an excellent ASICS update, ideal for baseline players and long rallies.
2E Not Wide EnoughI ordered these in my normal size, after wearing mostly KSwiss Hypercourt Express and Babolat SFX for their wide fit. As soon as I put them on, I knew they were going back. I’ve never tried the regular width Resolutions but they must be extremely narrow if this is their wide variant. Good looking shoe, though. But too narrow for a 2E and kinda heavy.
New Gel Res, Who Dis?I have been a loyal customer of the Gel Resolution for the past four years or so. I was ready for a new pair of tennis shoes and was excited to see there was a new model of Gel Resolution. without doing any research, I ordered the new model and laced them up to get ready for my match. However, these were not the resolutions of the eight and nine varieties. This is a completely new shoe and does not fit nearly the same as the eight or the nine. The toe box is much wider and with my narrow foot, these shoes are a poor fit for me.
More shoe than most needThis shoe was disappointing, as it was bulkier and wider and heavier than what I had come to expect from prior ASICS tennis shoes. I would recommend avoiding this if you have narrow feet.
They tried to fix something that wasn’t brokeBeen in the Gel Res line since trying on the 8s and loved them ever since – they did everything just right. They’re stable and comfortable, and I could still get some explosive bounce and feel. And 9s were a subtle but incremental upgrade. I don’t know what ASICS was going for here with the Xs but the fit is just not the same. Seems like they were trying to cater to wider feet, and I’m now floating in them. Tried working the new lace system and even going a size down but it just does not work for me. Please revert back! I might stock up on 9s until they figure this out.
Lacing system is horribleI've love this shoe but the new lacing system is awful it doesn't run through the normal eyes it goes through a bunny loop so when you start moving the shoes come untied - who came up with this??? Very disappointed
Not the soft shoe anymoreI've been buying the resolution shoe for over 10 years. Not anymore. This model the "10" has silly unique features that include the lacing system, strange tongue and too wide of footprint. Just a hard, stable, uncomfortable style of shoe..
Clicking and PoppingNot the best Asics tennis shoe I have owned. The clicking and popping in the vamp (the part of the shoe that covers the toes) of the left shoe was extremely annoying and has been reported by many other purchasers in one shoe or the other. Two one inch long cuts with a serrated blade steak knife solved the problem. A thick seam in on the inside of the shoe bothers the outside of my right foot. On the upside, the shoe seems very robust and the sole is showing very limited wear after 20+ hours on hardcourts. The fit is a trifle long, which is why I prefer this Asics model. With the problems mentioned above and the rather high price, I don't think I would recommend this particular Asics model although I am a big Asics fan.
Skip this modelCONS
Too much room all around, feels like a boat
Break-In takes too long
Too heavy, hard and stiff
Too much $$
Impracticable lacing system
Pros
I’m not sure you will see any of the pros wearing this one
disappointmentA significant setback when compared to the 9's. The shoe is roomier and very stable however they are super uncomfortable. The top plastic is very hard and bends in a weird way pinching and causing pain on my toes. In comparison the 9's (which are slightly snug but still fine) are exponentially more comfortable. Not sure why ASICS would feel the need to completely ruin something that was working so well. I do not see the X being much popular at all. Now, like many others, I am scavenging the internet in search for the 9's.
ASICSNice
A more cushy gel resI've been wearing Gel Res for the past 8 years over multiple iterations and these are my favorite. Noticeably more cushion in the forefoot and slightly more room in the toebox, though I think this is due to more vertical space rather than making it wider. Still a fast, stable shoe. My only critique is that it's a little tougher to get these to stay snug during a hitting session due to the new lacing system and the tongue tends to migrate slightly, which wasn't an issue on prior versions. I also think the purple colorway is pretty great.
Feet hurt, but love the innovationsI like just about every update with these shoes. I like the new lacing, new heal and toe fit more true to size, great stability. I really want to love these shoes and was planning to buy several pairs... but I've worn them for four sessions and my feet hurt so much every time (mid lateral foot). I keep thinking if I wear them for another hour, they'll feel better... but my feet hurt worse... Looking forward to the Gel Res 11s.
Not the Gel Resolution You Know and LoveThis is the first time I’m writing a shoe review, and it’s because I’m incredibly frustrated with the Gel Resolution X. I've been wearing the Gel Resolution 8 and 9s for years, and the Gel Res 9s were my absolute favorite. I was really excited to try the Gel Resolution X, but that excitement quickly turned into disappointment. It feels like Asics prioritized durability over comfort with these shoes. They're nothing like the 8s or 9s—clunky, stiff, and heavier than expected. There’s a huge break-in period, the forefoot feels way too rigid. Both times I played in these shoes, I ended up switching back to my Gel 9s after just a few games because they felt like walking on clouds in comparison. The lacing system is also a huge letdown—it’s completely impractical, and the laces themselves need to be thicker and more durable. Honestly, these are some of the worst tennis shoes I’ve worn. Now, I’m desperately searching for wide Gel Resolution 9s and scouring the internet for any leftover stock, since I can’t wear these new Xs. And seriously, why doesn’t Asics make more wide Gel Resolution shoes? I would not recommend this shoe to anyone. I don’t even know what to do with these shoes now—will Tennis Warehouse accept them after I've worn them twice? Sorry for the rant.
Great first impressionI can only speak for myself, but once I squeezed into these shoes, I liked them a lot. Perfect fit-- equal pressure on my foot on the sides and top. I don't think I'll bother with my orthotics; they feel THAT good
Major downgradeI have worn the resolutions for the past 3 generations. They have been a dream of a shoe… until now. The X fit isn’t up to par, they run long and wider. They feel much heavier and clunky, even in the correct size it is hard to get a lockdown since the medial laces are not in traditional layouts and run thru somewhat of a bungy system. Deal breaker for me.
Better and WorseI have played in every Asic Gel Resolution since they started making them. They were the best shoes for me.
I have a narrow foot M 11.5, B-C width. Asics were always narrow and were a good fit for me. The current X are so wide in the toe box they no longer fit. Laces can't be pulled tight enough. If you have a wide foot these will work. The cushioning in the forefoot is improved, the medial high support is a non-issue. Unfortunately with Asics trying to appeal to a wider audience they have ruined it for people with narrow feet.
A bit larger than previous gensOverall, very good shoe but is a bit longer than previous gens. I wear a 9.0 for last 5 gens but can probably wear an 8.5 with the X.
SolidI wear a 14.0 in almost every brand of shoe out there. I could have probably gotten away with a 13.5 with this shoe but I am happy with the 14. I did get the wide because past shoes in this brand have always been a little snug for me. I have now played with these for a few hours and I am satisfied with the shoe. It is a little on the heavy side but it feels very durable and I was able to play a lot longer with these than with other shoes. I would definitely buy again.
Tennis shoe or ski boot?Cushioning and proper fit are there. But it is very torsional rigid; almost to a fault. Feels like a ski boot.

Great shoe!This is the most comfortable and stable tennis shoe I have ever owned. It has plenty of room in the midsole and toe box. I normally wear a size 11 in the KSwiss Gel Resolution. The reviewers recommended a half size smaller and it is perfect fit.
