I use asics as my running shoes, so I thought to purchase them for volleyball shoes as well. The other reviews were correct in that these are very narrow shoes. I ordered up half a size, went to a full 8 from 7.5. While the width fit perfectly for me in a size 8. there was a lot of length left in the toe box. I thought it would be fine and I could live with it, but when I got up to walk around and test out the shoe, it had a very stiff feeling. Additionally, it is not ideal to play volleyball in shoes that are too big, as there is risk for injury when you are moving around the half court. I will return these and try a different asics pair.<br /><br />these shoes would be great for narrow feet. if you have anything other than narrow feet, do not purchase.
