From the Manufacturer
In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Good Vball Shoe - break 'em in a day or 2
The shoes work great now, but did take a few court-days to wear in and get good traction. The first couple of games, I lost traction on hard directional changes. Maybe there's some kind of coating on them when shipped that needs to be worn off? Anyway - the shoes are great now - fit just to specifications, good traction, nice feel for jumping.

Great Volleyball Shoe!!!
This shoe is fantastic. I spent about a week and a half reviewing every shoe known to man. I was pretty sure I wanted an Asic brand shoe as they generally hold up to wear and tear the best and have a pretty good reputation for quality and comfort. I'm glad I stuck with my gut! these are great! The women's are just like the men's shoe I'm pretty sure - and if you read the men's reviews -this shoe does not disappoint.

This will sound nuts and I don't every believe this kind of stuff when I read it in reviews but...here goes. I bought these and wore them to my volleyball practice that night, and I have to say that it was by far one of my best practices yet. I mean, I'm a skeptical person and I can't believe it was the shoe but I got 5 to 6 more blocks than I normally would that night. I also wore it right after purchasing for 12 hours straight at a tournament (about 5 to 6 games) and I didn't have any issues with pain or discomfort or needing to "break them in". If you are looking for a mid price, comfortable shoe for volleyball- this is it!

Great shoes!
My daughter is very happy with her volleyball shoes and Amazon was cheaper than Dunhams Sporting Goods. Thanks Amazon!
