Default why asics....??

why can't you find them at regular tennis stores, search for them everywhere seems like you can only get them online, just want to fit them and am curious since they have good reviews?

I have the same problem. Moreover, I cannot find my ladies size 6 anywhere online.

Yes, I could not get them locally as well. The asics were the 1st pair of shoes that I have purchased online, and fortunately they fit perfect. As matter of fact, I liked them so much I immediately ordered another pair once I used them.I got the gel challengers, fit like a glove, no breakin required, and very light weight.
The good thing about TW selling them, is if they don't fit,you can send them back,and they even pay for the shipping with the return label they place in with your order, so you have nothing to lose.Some people order 2 different sizes, and send back the one that does not fit.

I usually wear 11 1/2 , shoe size, and once in a while a 12. I was told to order a 1/2 size larger by people on this site,and they were correct,as the 12 fit perfect.
I especially like these as they are very light weight. One of my biggest assets is my speed, as I can run down just about everything, and that helps to compensate for other shortcomings in my game.Feels like hardly any weight on my feet at all, and I can run faster in these.

They have a store locator on the site. In fact, if you're in the US you can actually do a search for the model of shoe you're after. For example, here's the one for the Resolution:

I first checked that out, and the closest to me was about 200 miles away, and with the return policy that TW has that was the best way to go.

Well, at least you can check and not waste your time looking for them I guess.

i just checked h-o-l-a-b-i-r-d-s-p-o-r-t-s-.com and they have some women tennis shoes in size 6. as a matter of fact, they even have a warranty if you buy through them.

Why not? They're a developed brand in running, so you'd assume on that basis that they're produce quality shoes with comfort and stability designed.
