Asics Gel Resolution II Thoughts
Hey, I cant really seem to find much as far as opinions/reviews go for this shoe.
If somebody that has it can give me a mini review that would be really great. Im looking to get a new pair of shoes. I like a nice light-weight shoe and I play on clay in the winter, but with my team we play on hard-courts so i dont need anything as far as a full herringbone sole goes. I have played with Vapor 5's for the past year or so, and I liked them a lot. If there are any other shoes that you guys recommend, feel free to comment on them as well! Thanks for all the help! it is greatly appreciated.

I have been playing with it since September and am very happy with it. Great performance shoe and has great cushioning and stability which is key for me since I have chronic knee issues. (Had microfracture surgery on one knee and could use the same procedure on the other knee as well) Note that the gel resolution has a clay court version as well as one suited for all surfaces. Here is a link to the tennis magazine review of the shoe. http://www.tennis.com/gear/showShoeReview.aspx?ID=477 Also look at the customer feedback on tennis warehouse site and various threads which you can access by doing a search on this forum. http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/feedback-AGR2***.html |

Some people complain about their durability especially since there isn't a 6 month guarantee. Also, the shoe laces should be a few inches longer.
I have been wearing the Resolution 2s for a few weeks, which is only a couple of hours of hitting for me. They are great so far except a piece of plastic is rubbing against the base of my right pinky toe. Hopefully it will go away as the shoes get more use. Fedace, I'm coming from wearing Yonex 304s and I don't notice much difference in terms of weight. |

Probably the best "comfortable" performance shoe on the market. I've not tried the clay version, but I suspect it performs equally well to the hard court version. In fact, I've played on clay with the hard court version and the shoe performs quite well.
The only down side is durability. My latest pair of GR2's has 40 hours on them and I've nearly worn a hole in the toe of my right foot. The most I get out of them on hard courts is 80 hours. |

there is another online retailer offering 6-month outsole warranty on the Asics GR 2.
google "asics gel resolution 2 men's 6-month outsole warranty" to find this. Last edited by samster : 02-24-2010 at 06:40 PM. |

My first pair lasted me 6 months playing 2-3 times a week on har-tru for 2 years per session. Because I play only on clay and har-tru during the indoor season and they are the only store offering the clay court version, I just bought a pair from them. Does anyone know, if TW will carry the clay court version in the spring? |

I bought the cool blue version of this shoe and tried it in november and december in a couple of leaguematches and tournaments.
The forefoot is pretty narrow for me but the shoe has great cushioning and decent support. Took like 30 minutes to get a nice broke in feel . One major issue is the durability!! After a total of 15 tennis-sessions (a total of maybe 25 hours of hard court tennis) there is just a fraction of rubber left before my big toe pops out. It wears out extremely fast. Way way way faster then any other shoe i have tried in the past,, For example,, I have used the Barricade V about the same time and they are still like brand new. I fully understand why Asics dont have a 6 month durability warranty.

Durability is the only issue with these shoes, to me, other than that, they are perfect...
Some Sites H-Bird will offer a 6 mth guarantee which is nice...

Man I wished I agreed with you all. After 4 pairs of the Res I's I should have bought 10 more before they got replaced with the II's. If I ever wear out the II's I won't be buying another pair. If I don't wear them out, I'll throw them away.
I find the drag on plastic kills my feet. I had the same problem with Nike Cages. If they fit your feet fine, but if they don't they never conform to your foot. The old Res I's were some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, tennis, running or whatever.

Most comfortable tennis shoe I have ever wore. I have a few Gel 2's but they don't compare to the 1's as far as comfort, at least in my opinion. I should have also bought more of the 1's before they stopped selling them. Anybody ever run across any of the 1's in size 11 1/2, please give me a holler. Thanks |
