High instep?
Which shoe has the most forefoot/mid foot room? I ordered the 12s and they choked out my feet so bad I couldn’t even keep them on in the house

The fit of ae2 shoes
I'm planning to order the Adidas AE 2 online, but I'm unsure about my size. My feet measure 27 cm in length and are quite wide. Should I go with a UK 9.5 or a UK 10?

Shoes that play and feel like the gt cut 3
I’ve been hooping for a while now, nothing to crazy just pick ups for the love of the game. I’d go through a pair or 2 shoes a year and the Gt cut 3 are the best pair of basketball shoes I’ve played in imo.
I’m looking for something that plays and feels as close as possible to them while not absolutely breaking the bank and dropping 150+ every time I want a new pair.

Way of Wade 12 vs. Avoli’s for a Libero/Outside Hitter?
I’m trying to decide between the Way of Wade 12s and Avoli’s for volleyball, but I’ve been getting so many mixed reviews about both that I honestly don’t know which one to choose.
I mainly play libero/defensive specialist, but I also play outside hitter, so I need a shoe that can handle quick lateral movements, diving, jumping, and especially repeated landings. I’m looking for something with great cushioning and impact protection, good traction, stability, and some ankle support. I want to feel secure when changing directions quickly and landing, without the shoes feeling too heavy or restricting my movement.

Metarise 2 issue
So i just bought a new asics metarise 2 shoe. When i unboxed it i thought that there was nothing wrong with it, until i looked at the inside. The heel cushioning support lining turned out to be detached or loose, it also expose a bit of the cushion. I’m not exactly sure what that part is called, but here is a photo.
I’m concerned about that loose section; is it supposed to be like that, or has it actually come loose or detached?

Mizuno equivalent to Asics Sky Elite FF?
Recently wore Asics Sky Elite FF and I loved the cushioning, the comfort, basically everything about it. Before this, I wore gel rocket Asics and didn't like it as much.
If you guys have any other shoes recommendations you wanna share, please do so! I play libero if it's helpful.

Help! Mizuno Wave Momentum 2 men’s 7.5 replacement recommendations
Help!!
I previously bought the mizuno wave momentum 2 in men’s 7.5, and it was hands-down, the best shoe for my foot that I have ever had. It has a wider toebox and a higher instep, and although I thought I was gonna hate the sock tongue. I actually loved it because I’m used to the tongue of my shoes sliding over my high instep..
Except now they are absolutely worn through and I am in need of a replacement for my volleyball shoes and they no longer make them.
I need to find a replacement ASAP as I have some tournaments coming up and play multiple times a week. With the war and loss of stuffing in my shoes I’ve already started tweaking my ankle.
I made the mistake of ordering the wave momentum 3 and 4s and they don’t fit. They’re longer with a more narrow toe, and a more shallow instep that puts too much pressure over my mid and forefoot. The wave momentum 3 are not refundable either so I’m stuck with them.
Not only did I order those, but I also just ordered the way of Wade’s 12 off of the fit comparison of the MWM3 (I thought I had this style, but I was wrong. I had the MWM2). So I’m assuming that these are gonna be a poor fit for me as well. Bye bye money 😭
I live in a small town in Ontario that doesn’t have a lot of options to go and try shoes on, but I have a difficult foot to fit. I’m also hyper mobile and prone to injuries so the fit is very important.
As an OH with Lib tendencies on the D, I am looking for a shoe that checks the following:
- fit similar to the men’s 7.5 mizuno wave moment 2 (toebox, width and instep room)
- excellent lateral support to prevent rolls
- support to protect my partial torn ACL
- a plate for vertical would be lovely
- great traction for messy wood courts
- bonus if there’s toe protection as I drag my foot on my serve and used to wear through them before they added the bumper
- ventilation would be lovely
- sock/anchored tongue would be nice but not necessary
I am an outside hitter with Lobero tendencies and am looking for recommendations that can help me with my reaction time, explosiveness, and support with consideration with my foot fit.
Please help!
Also, yes mine are vile lol I can’t wash them anymore bc they’re loosing too much stuffing 😓
