These retail for considerably less than $100 making them a really affordable option! Having said that, setters who play mostly from the back court will also find this shoe exceptional as they’re going to prefer being lighter on their feet and require less impact protection. The cushioning system in this shoe is pretty average unfortunately, making it not the best idea for front court players doing tons of jumping. What this means is extreme responsiveness making this particularly good for liberos who like to feel low to the ground and need to make lots of micro adjustments when passing. It’s by far the lightest shoe on this list. The Giannis Immortality is known for being ultra lightweight. This shoe may as well share the title of ‘best budget shoe’ with the Dame 7s, but it’s an extremely different shoe. These are also considerably cheaper than every other shoe in this list, so they’re a great budget option and really excellent value for money.Įxtremely good for wide feet! These are the widest shoes I’ve ever worn, so definitely not a great choice if you have narrow feet! The Dame 7s also come in a variety of unisex designs for women who don’t like the idea of wearing a men’s basketball shoe! They are a little clunky and boot-like, which some players might not prefer. The heel is very high up off the ground, making them a poor choice for liberos and defenders. The craziest thing about this shoe is that it’s on the heavier side, yet feels incredibly light and springy to wear. They also have great durability and bite on outdoor courts. So far as impact protection goes, they’re the best shoe on this list. The Dame 7s are widely regarded as having the best budget midsole of any basketball shoe – meaning the most shock absorption for you buck! For me, shock absorption is key as I want to protect my knee joints from overuse injuries like jumper’s knee. I’m a middle blocker/opposite who plays a lot and does a lot of jumping. The Dame 7s are my personal favorite volleyball shoe… err basketball shoe… for volleyball. They also have a fairly high mid top design meaning more ankle support when landing around the net. They basically traded shock absorption for extra bounciness. The Wave Momentum 2 are not as good as the original Momentums on this front. One of my biggest concerns with volleyball shoes is lack of shock absorption which, if you’re doing lots of jumping, can be really rough on your joints. My favorite thing about this volleyball shoe is the extra bounce it gives when jumping, making it perfect for anyone playing in the front court. This is another premium volleyball shoe with a premium price tag, but it’s well worth it for any athlete who takes the game of volleyball seriously. This is awesome if you subscribe to the notion that lightweight shoes help you jump higher! The first thing you notice about the Momentum 2, is that it’s lighter than a feather. Together with the Asics Sky Elite FF, these two shoes are so far ahead of the competition that they may as well be in a league of their own…
Historically, Asics haven’t been known for making super stylish shoes, but these red Tokyo Sky Elites are super aesthetic looking.Įveryone in the gym will know you you’re a serious baller when you whip these out of your volleyball bag!Ĭan I end this article right here? Honestly, I would need a very good reason to buy any other volleyball shoe right now…īest Overall Volleyball Shoes – Runner Up The heel-toe transition feels perfect and you definitely get a really springy bounce from these shoes when jumping.Īnkle support feels very secure and it’s super locked down inside. You can jump all day in these without your knees turning to dust! It’s the perfect shoe for jumping in because of that thick, soft sole which gives plenty of cushioning when landing. Having said that, the only possible drawback of this shoe is that it has quite a thick sole, meaning it’s quite high up off the floor.įor some back court players who like to feel closer to the floor, this might not be a perfect match after all…įor most attackers, however, this is only going to make you feel more dominant at the net, so I see it as a positive. These are super sticky on the ground, which is great for all volleyball positions, but especially good for defensive specialists.

If you know me, you’ll know I think the best volleyball shoes are basketball shoes, so you know I liked the sound of that! This shoe is often described as a hybrid between a volleyball shoe and a basketball shoe. With most volleyball shoes there’s usually something that could be improved or tweaked to make them better.īut there are literally no flaws with this shoe.
