ASICS Men's Gel-Rocket 8 Volleyball Shoes - Lightweight Court Sneakers for Indoor Sports & Gym Training - Perfect for Volleyball, Badminton & Squash Players

The shoes arrived as advertised, on time and correct size. I am 6' 2", 240lb male and these shoes are standing up to my weight as I hoped. I used to buy Asics exclusively when I was younger and this pair was my first pair of Asics in decades. In the past I used to pay the premium price for them and if anything went wrong with them I would have been able to return them to my local retailer (never had issues with Asics). These shoes are definitely produced with lesser quality materials and the stitching on them looks less tight. However, I believe they will last me one year of competitive volleyball playing, so I will not mind buying another pair for this price if I need to. If they last two seasons of playing, even better! :) The shoes are stable and offer awesome control due to the grip surface at the front of the shoe (the yellow rubber). Torsion resistance of the mid-sole offers perfect support for my weight and style of game (I can't stand still, hardly ever flat-footed on the ground) Sizing was spot on fit for my foot (size 13). My foot is wider than most but these shoes, even though they were not the "wide fit", fit my foot very comfortably. They were broken in during a three hour evening of volleyball pick up games and did not create any pressure points or discomfort at all. The shoe inserts that came in this shoe provide decent support, but will most likely be replaced with a gel insert. My hat is off to the producers of this shoe for the look, control, comfort and fit, I just hope they last this season. I will update this review in a few weeks again.
