Solution Speed takes by far the longest to break in but it really makes a difference. As Luca said, you really appreciate the nothingness of the shoe when you try something else. I haven't tried FF3 but own 2 pairs of FF2 (Which are way more beautiful than FF3)

Another great video from your channel. Thank you for the comparison. My first ascis were gel res 7. Amazing. Even got rid of plantar fasciatis. They went out of stock and bought the speeds.Completely agree with you. The feel more of a running shoe and felt that i got easier-faster to the net with them. These are my go to shoes. If anything i would prefer is to be a little less snuggier on the ankle. BTW, you look like Holger on your open stance. Again, thank you and keep it up with these quality content!

I’m about to add the FF3 to my rotation. My orthotics fit great in them and they have a nice solid feel. My big concern is that I have a high arch and the sleeve is tight on the top of my foot. Also they fit long for me. My Vapor Pro 2 are 10.5 but I had to move to a 10 on the FF3
@RacketsRunnersVancouver6 ай бұрын
Interesting regarding the length. Just a general rule of thumb with Asics is that they have long and point toe boxes but the *fit* itself isn't that long IMO. You should be ok after a bit of break in with the top of your foot.

I read somewhere in the comments that out of these 3 you prefer the Court ff 3 right? But I do hear you mention quite a lot of "cons". Above all the one that it feels like a brick (compared to the speed). The fact that you said out of these three you prefer this one makes me want to ask you what shoe do you wear yourself and what is your favorite shoe in general?

Hi what is your recommendation for wide and flat feet? I bought the gel resolution 8 in width 2E but still experience some soreness in the middle part of the foot, especially around the arch.
@BlGSac6 ай бұрын
Just wish they made 4E
@christiannovak-zemplinski97496 ай бұрын
I have the Gel-Resolution 8 and seem to be one of few who doesn't like it. Most of it is good, but the hard plastic upper annoys me. If I'm up on my toes I can feel the plastic bending and the fold digging into my toes in a distracting way. So even though the shoes weigh exactly the same as my Vapor 9.5s they feel harder and heavier. I would like to try Asics again though since I like their business model of upgrading shoes rather than just completely changing them all the time like Nike. Maybe Speed FF3 could work, if it has less upper plastic than Gel-Res.

Give the Solution Speed a shot. I know what you mean with the rubber upper and the Speed doesn’t have that issue.

None of these will work great on clay especially not the Gel-Resolution. If you play on both, I would go for the clay, but ideally you want to get two pairs.
