Hard to believe 50% on hard court and the sole looked like that - I know mine show far more wear in far less time on hard court. Perhaps he is relatively easy on his soles or light on his feet.
They’re more damaged in his high wear areas than can come across on a video- tough to show it like you see it with your own eyes but you can see they clearly have decrease in tread depth but yeah his foot work is pretty clean- no hardcourt sliding
Hey Zach! I’ve really enjoyed your videos and the insight you bring to each video. I recently switched to the Nike gp turbos from the vapor cage 4s after watching your comparison video (I was experiencing pretty bad shin splints). I was curious if you’ve ever thought about doing a video on shin splints and your recommendations on what shoes/orthotics/stretches would be best to combat shin splints? Thanks for all you do!
How are you doing now that you've switched shoes? Shin splints are tough- I'll be including best shoes for that in my next " best shoes" video coming out this summer- my favorites are adidas scb, nike gp turbo, diadora blushield 5
@@FootDoctorZach I’ve been doing a lot better! Still get a little bit of pain, but it’s mostly when I play pickleball, I think the quicker movement isn’t helping. But the GP turbos are 10x better than the vapor cage 4’s! Looking forward to that video!
Asics Ahar+ outsole is one of the best outsole on the market, maybe even the best one. I played in various Asics shoes in the past and I always had to change them not because of the outsole, but because of the upper. The rubber used for outsole is just amazing. And I'm talking about the the clay version, which is so impressive, you can literally wear it for 2.5 seasons and they still hold up. Asics shoes are just brilliant.
Mr. Zach, your asics reviews are great, but I can't find asics shoes anywhere for sale. Can you do a review on asics ability to produce a sufficient quantity of shoes for North America?
How would you compare them to Diadoras Blushield 5? I have high arch and suffer from forefoot pain and play quite agressibly and move fast. Thanks for you videos.
Could you do a tread slickness test or tread tackiness test, it would be interesting, because a rubber compounds are really different in performance between different companies
@@FootDoctorZach yeah I don’t know I guess it is just off of feel, for example I would say ASICS makes shoes with slicker rubber, because it is easier to slide around, as compared to something like Nike’s vapor cage 4 which are much grippier
My high school daughter has one month of play on the Solution Speed FF2's and has worn down the tread completely under her right toe. Hard court high school tennis. I wonder if these Resolution 8's would wear better. She is fast and uses her speed. I have also seen her almost turn an ankle with the FF2's.
The SSFF2 is not a great durability shoe on the sides, it’s also so aerodynamic that it sacrifices lateral stability in terms of sprain protection- the GR8 and the court ff2 will fare much better but some people just wear out certain areas of their shoes more than others due to foot type/ gait style
This outsole durability is for the clay version. The hardcourt version is not durable - I blew through it in less than six months, easily. I don’t play that much either. The compound is softer than the SS ff2, and offers better traction. The SS ff2 has better durability but more squeaking and slipping.
Amazing content Zach, l have a very slim lightweight frame 130 pounds and narrow feet. I want to slide on hard courts and l like light weight shoes. Which ones do you recommend? I don’t care about durability, l can change every 2 months. I want to feel the ground with my toes, drag toes and slide laterally
Yo what’s up foot doctor Zach! You are the man! Love the vids and reviews! But I have a question. I have been using the adidas solecourt shoes with boost. But I have lately been have really bad pain in the ball of my foot. I’m not sure if maybe it’s a support or cushion issue. Would you recommend switched to a shoe like this asics gel res 8. How would you compare the two shoes? And would you say the asics is a more comfortable/ supportive shoe for someone with foot problems? I play 5-6 times a week and am a college athlete btw. Also my friends have said this asics gel res 8 runs a little big, would you recommend going a half size down? Thanks for the help! Keep up the grind!!
Thanks for the kind words- im not sure whos saying that the GR8 runs big but ive never had that experience with it- the SCB is a much more maximalist shoe so if youre having pain even in those its probably worth seeing a foot doc to get examined because more times than not its something going on internally not to do with the shoe except in certain circumstances with minimalist shoes
Strictly regarding midsole durability, would you say Nike Air/Zoom Air is the most durable since it's not foam based? Most recreational athletes in many poorer countries can only afford to buy name brand shoes maybe once every couple of years. Logically, they should only buy shoes with Nike Air cushioning right, because there's no foam that would last that long?
Not necessarily- the Zoom unit will last a long time but the rest of the foam around it may not, boost foam is very durable as is nike foam in the vapor cage 4's
@@FootDoctorZach When the Phylon around it dies after a few months, will it still have decent cushioning, considering the zoom is still there? Is that how it works?
@@FootDoctorZach Can you explain the logic? I think maybe many people have this misconception that Nike Air last longer but you're saying once the foam around the Air bottom out, the Air won't help? Sorry for being abit dense but i'm really curious about it since I often advice my friends on what shoes to get.
I see all newer asics are loose on the arch side of the shoes. There is always a couple of cm space on that side. This is really aggravating because it requires too much tightening of the laces to get supportive fit on that side. I think this is a big error in the construction of asics shoes. The arch doesn't bulge out there, it is concave!! Adidas are much tighter there.
@@FootDoctorZach Feet are not shaped like that. I expect they will change it in time. Like the clicking in the earlier models. Its not there in the FF2,
I allways had asics for tennis .GR7 clay and AC , the first FF s (sock like) and then GR8 gave me my first metatarsialalgia (on clay!).So i cant wear my new ff2s and i was lucky i had a pair of unused adidas scb in my closet.I can never go back to asics unfortunatelly.Adidas seems to set my problem stable and i think i get cured very slowly .So any other shoe recommendation (i ve allready saw your video for suggestions!) Thanks in advance.
Hey Zack, love your reviews. Do you have any thoughts about cutting the dynawrap straps on the top? I have a high volume foot and the straps are really tight. Will this compromise any lateral stability or will I be ok? I do wear orthotics. Thanks, Ben
Someone else did that and liked it , another had issues with rolling around- I think it comes down to preference but I personally don’t think it compromises the shoe that much, but it’s different for everyone
Hi Zach, good work. Watching the wear on these for players like me who over pronate is worrying. What shoes provide the stability for over pronation? It’s difficult finding analysis of tennis shows unlike running. Thanks

Great reviews, learned a lot! I was thinking to get these...but it might not work out. I started with the low-end Adidas GameCourt but my low arches were hurting...then I got the Solution Speed (Not gen 2) and the same thing. After $100, now I need to loosen up the laced midfoot to be comfortable...any shoes you would suggest, Asics, K-Swiss or a replacement lower arch? thanks very much.
Those two shoes arent the most supportive in the arch, the gel res 8 and the court ff2 will be a lot more supportive as well as the ultrashot 3 from kswiss, adidas solecourt boost, nike gp turbo
@@FootDoctorZach I have very low arches, so I don't need more support, maybe less. I'm removing the insoles out of my solution speed and I'm going to try it out and see if that feels more comfortable first. Thoughts, recommendations?
Hi…Quick q….when you go to the wide version of a gel res 8 should you stay with the same size? Or go down a half size? Thanks for the great info as always!
I don't get it - I wear through a tennis shoe - even a Gel Res 8 or a nike vapor cage 4 - in 4-5 weeks. Maybe i am just an extra-bad toe-dragger. Doesn't seem like I am though; it's not like I;m out there scooting along the court, like I'm ice skating or something. ...Anyways, it make no sense to me at all that this shoe - or any shoe - could like that 2:30 after 4 months! Especially since clay tread is not meant for hardcourts. ... By the way, I believe that clay court shoes have less cushioning in the midsole than hardcourt shoes do, since playing on clay doesn't involve pounding on concrete as you run. At any rate, and most importantly, the Gel Res 8 is my second-favorite shoe ever, I think. I loved the Gel Res 7 (and 6; almost same thing) immensely, but I missed them less after playing in my first 8's. ... and my favorite tennis shoe of ALL all time (and it isn't even close). Drum roll ............. Nike Zoom Cage 3. Ah! Divine, sublime, out of this world shoe! P.S. I love your reviews. Thanks for them, and best wishes.
Yup these were worn by someone who doesnt drag but that puts a ton of up and down pressure on his shoes so in 3 months that midsole was toast long before the tread- just goes to show how even though the tread may be good on someones shoes the inside may be failing- i have another one of these where the outsole is toast and the midsole is fine coming up
Just received a pair that I ordered in my usual size. My big toe does not reach the end but they do seem very tight.I have Morton's neuroma so I usually know within 5 minutes of wearing a shoe if it's going to be a problem. No pain while wearing them in my house but I do wonder if they will cause a problem in the future. Thoughts ?

@@FootDoctorZach Awesome, I can't wait! I'm glad I found your channel. I just got a pair of Solematch Bounces for $35 brand new, and I can't wait to play with them on-court this weekend. Your review on them got me excited.
@@FootDoctorZach So I got to play with the Solematch Bounce, and they play similarly to the Solecourt Boost -- they're amazing. They are a great alternative for me since the Boosts are hard to get by where I'm at now, and I don't want to deal with scalpers.
Does anyone know if the Asics Gel Challenger 13 is any good? It looks like the Foot Doctor hasn't done anything on them so maybe they're not? But at about $100 I figured they at least deserve a look for the weekly pickup player.
Im sorry but i completely diagre with u zack I had clay version of these for three months and i peactice in them for about 4 hours a day cause im an itf player and the shoes is not wearable any more The treads of clay are completely gone on the forefoot and the upper is completely torn on each sides and each foot but i agree that these are very great shoes and i think it’s more durable than all series of nike esp vapor line and i really recommend these shoes but the durability of these shoes are quite low but these are cery very great shoes in time that they are wearable Tnx
So you're playing on them 4 hrs a day at the pro level- thats going to burn through a shoe a lot faster than a middle age guy playing 4-8 hrs per week who doesn't slide on hard - also different foot types will burn different parts of the shoe out- where as he is a more muscular, heavy person, his midsole wore out in 3 months where as someone lighter and faster will wear the outsole out in the same time but not necessarily some other parts of the shoe - its a great example of how we all wear shoes out differently - i have a video on the solecourt boost after 4 months where the treads are down to the nubbs from a different player
@@FootDoctorZach Aight, now I saw it, you mentioned it quickly. Ok, I get it but still wonder about the objectivity and relevance of putting a clay test shoe on a hard court for several months. It’s inevitable there will huge differences.
ASICS still doing business in Russia like nothing happened. #BoycottAsics Shame on your bloody business. No more ASICS. @Nike @UnderArmour @adidas Remove your product review of bloody company.
I play on clay court and I used them 3 times they lasted only for 2 months but I like them so much they are so stable and tuff shoes I love them
👍👍
Must be me and your friend are completely different, those treads look nice, my shoes were worn down to the foam, another good video doc
Pretty impressive creasing on the medial side where the arch support is (or “was”) . Definitely something to look out for if you’re a big pronator
Yup- these also got a ton of use- even at the gym for working out so they went through the ringer before I got to follow up on them
I think a video on recovery slides would be great! I was recommended the Hoka One One and it really helped with some aches and pains.
Im actually in the process of getting some in right now to do one for the summer season- im going to check those out as well
I use Head Revolt Pro 3.0. One of the best shoe in term of durability and stability.
The outsole holding up almost a year for me.

By far... the best tennis shoes I have ever used. The shoe laces are BS.
Yep like having a Ferrari with those zipper up keep doors
How was the sizing on them?
For me true but I also have a video on that if you just search for Asics gel resolution 8 they both come up
Im sorry but i completely diagre with u zack
I had clay version of these for three months and i peactice in them for about 4 hours a day cause im an itf player and the shoes is not wearable any more
The treads of clay are completely gone on the forefoot and the upper is completely torn on each sides and each foot but i agree that these are very great shoes and i think it’s more durable than all series of nike esp vapor line and i really recommend these shoes but the durability of these shoes are quite low but these are cery very great shoes in time that they are wearable
Tnx
So you're playing on them 4 hrs a day at the pro level- thats going to burn through a shoe a lot faster than a middle age guy playing 4-8 hrs per week who doesn't slide on hard - also different foot types will burn different parts of the shoe out- where as he is a more muscular, heavy person, his midsole wore out in 3 months where as someone lighter and faster will wear the outsole out in the same time but not necessarily some other parts of the shoe - its a great example of how we all wear shoes out differently - i have a video on the solecourt boost after 4 months where the treads are down to the nubbs from a different player
@@FootDoctorZach yeah exactly
whats the best shoe for mortons neuroma
ruclips.net/video/SR184Qa2Ado/видео.html look for the time stamp at 5:40
Uhm, it looks like a clay sole to me. How much did you use them on hard courts?
It’s all in the video
@@FootDoctorZach Aight, now I saw it, you mentioned it quickly. Ok, I get it but still wonder about the objectivity and relevance of putting a clay test shoe on a hard court for several months. It’s inevitable there will huge differences.
O common 4 months is test of time now ? I'll go broke af if I have to buy these every 6 months
Asics need better designers. Absolutely nothing please to the eye about any of the lines or color schemes.
Try getting the right size next time, just saying..
Must be kidding ... the shoes didn’t seem to be used much....
ASICS still doing business in Russia like nothing happened. #BoycottAsics Shame on your bloody business. No more ASICS. @Nike @UnderArmour @adidas Remove your product review of bloody company.
