what are the best shoes for volleyball?

Question

im in the 8th grade

Answer 1

If you want to get a new pair of shoes, then go ahead and get some "court shoes". They are lightweight, and designed with side and toe reinforcments. Tell the sales person they are for volleyball and there should be at least 2-3 brands to chose from. Mine are Asics. They shouldn't cost much more than $50, maybe $75 on the outside. They do last if you do not wear the off the court.

Otherwise, any athletic shoe with side and toe reinforcments should be fine. Perhaps a proper tennis shoe or aerobics shoe.

Answer 2

Since you're in eighth grade, I don't think you should be spending a lot of money on shoes. You're probably still growing and you should still concentrate on working on fundamentals. Just get sneakers with good cushion and good support. Avoid "specialty shoes" like running shoes. Running shoes don't provide enough lateral support and you're more prone to rolling/spraining your ankles. Basketball shoes are a little too heavy (in my opinion). Basic cross trainers are ok to start.

Once you're in high school, then I would consider spending a little more money on shoes. It's been many years since I played competative volleyball, but most of my teammates in high school wore asics volleyball shoes.

Answer 3

I recommend Asics because they make a lot of shoes just for volleyball. You want a rather flat shoe with out too much arch support to allow for quick side to side movement. The gel soles are great. They just need to be comfortable. One other thing, if you drag your toe when you serve, choose shoes that have the front piece of rubber that comes up from the sole sewn on rather than glued up because it will stay better. If you don't drag your toe it doesn't matter.

Answer 4

I suggest Women's GEL - 1100V™.

The volleyball shoe's main characteristic is its gum rubber outsole. Modern shoes use a rubber and gum rubber composite combined with a herringbone design giving the player the absolute best traction on various indoor playing surfaces.

Answer 5

I say New Balance. They have this thing that's called Abzorb...or something like that. And it really helps when you land cuz of the impact. I love my New Balance shoes and they are awesome for volleyball.

Answer 6

What ever feels comfortable and you can move in and your feet can breath any shoes like that are good for volleyball or any other sport

Answer 7

believe it or not i have been in volleyball for 7 years and cheerleading shoes are the best for volleyball

Answer 8

a shoe with gum grip, the yellowish grip on the bottom. also it might be smart if you get a pair that would also support your ankles so you wont roll them if/when you land on someone else's foot. also dont wear them around school, keep those shoes for only indoor because the gum will wear out quicker. just look for indoor shoes.

Answer 9

something that has good grips on the bottoms of them, kinda like nike or adidas! you will be moving around alot, and if u don't get some with lots of grip, u will slide and fall down everytime. I used to play volleyball, loved it.

Answer 10

Try Mizuno, I have a pair and I love 'em! Make sure they're court shoes, though. Try and find some that are really, really grippy.
