Where can find the Way of Wade DLo 1 in the Mismatch "Peace & Love" shoes? I really like the colors of them but I cant find them anywhere. I looked on the website and I dont think they have them anymore.

With EOFY here, I was just curious about everyone's recommendations for wades or asics. Originally I was going to get 808 Ultra 5 V2s but people said that its long and really wide for the size so I went to look at some other shoes. Some shoes I've been contemplating are WOW 12s, WOW All City 14s, Asic Sky Elite FFs, Asics Metarise 2s and Mizuno Wave Lightnings.

(For reference I'm looking for shoes that let me jump my highest and cushion my landings)

I need help with sizing for the ASICS Sky Elite FF 4 women’s volleyball shoe. I usually wear men’s size 10. For reference, size 10 in Metarise 2, and 10.5 in Kobe 5/6 since they run narrow.

I tried the men’s Sky Elite FF 4 in size 10 and 9.5. 10 feels fine, but it’s not like a glove feeling I was hoping for. Also, there’s like a 3/4 thumb space from my toes to the top of the shoe. 9.5 men’s feel like the glove feeling I’m looking for but a slight pressure on the side of my feet. Additionally, there’s a 1/2 thumb space from toe to top of shoe.

I have wide feet. I tried the women’s version in size 11 and 11.5—size 11 feels like a perfect glove in length but I get slight pressure on the outer side of my right foot - a bit (just a bit) more the men’s. The 11.5 removes the pressure but feels a bit long in the toe box.

I really want to go with the women’s version cause I like the colour of the shoe, but I’m not sure if that side pressure in 11 will go away with break-in or turn into pain during play. Would thin socks make 11 workable, or is 11.5 the better choice even if it feels slightly long? What would you go with?

I'm an opposite hitter and I jump a lot.

I currently wear the Mizuno Wave Lightning Z7 and I used to be in love over how light the shoe is. But overtime, it kinda starts to hurt because maybe the cushioning has thinned out over time.

That being said, I am looking for a shoe that combines light weight and good for landing. It would be great to find such shoes from asics, li ning, or adidas

I'm currently looking for bouncy and responsive shoes, my current options are AC14 Encore, 808 5 Ultra V2, Biospeed BB2, JB3, and AC14. Would love wow 10 and 12 but they're out of my budget. I'm leaning towards the 808s but heard they have a durability issue in the gcu breaking off from the outsole. What shoes would you recommend? ( I have 2E wide feet)

Hey guys, as i was looking for an upgrade of my shoes i found out asics sky elites are on sale, so i went to the shop and tried my normal size 41.5. They were too narrow and ok in length, but i feel like going any longer would be also bad. They didn't have any other sizes to compare so i am asking here, should i go half/full size up, or maybe they will break in to fit my feet if i go with narrow ones? Will changing shoelaces to linger once fiz the problem, or is it narrow because of this inner cloth part? Is there anything i can do or should i just look for other shoes? What other asics would you recommend? (i don't want basketball shoes, they are too hard to find where i live and super expensive)

​

For context i now have asics gel spike (they are similar to gel rockets) in size 41.5 with switched shoelaces and they fit perfectly. I am 63kg 178cm, mainly play OH OPP and MB.

I would appreciate any tips on this matter
