Great for indoor training -
I ordered these when I started working out more in the gym and less running as the weather got colder. They provide excellent traction on indoor surfaces and great support for lateral movement. They look cuter in person, too! As a side bonus, they seemed to keep the elliptical machine foot numbness at bay!

Great shoes, greater service -
My daughter loves these shoes. They're comfy and supportive. The service was excellent! One note - the shoes are a half size larger than Asics she has previously worn.

These shoes have great support. They are a little hard to break into, but after a week or two, they're real nice and comfortable.

I bought these for racquetball and they work great! The Gum sole is perfect. I had tried cross trainers and my knees were hurting. It is very hard to find true racquetball shoes for women, but these could be advertised as such. Try a half size larger than normal. I bought my true size and I have to wear thin socks.

Racquetball Shoe -
I couldn't find racquetball shoes for women, so after trying cross trainers, which didn't work, I decided to try this shoe since I love my Asics running shoes. And I definitely wanted a gum sole, as that was the problem with the cross trainers. They work great!! But as others have stated they run small. I didnt send them back, though, as I rather the shoe be snug than have too much room. Nothing worse than stopping quick and having your foot slide forward in your shoe and jamming your toes!! Ouch!! This was my first time using Zappos and I love them. Order one day and received my shoes the next! Now I am going to buy aerobic dance shoes!

Volleyballs great -
Been wearing Asics for vb for at least 25 years, only shoe that really fits well. Have narrow feet so its difficult to find a good fit. Don't like the silver color, didn't realize it was totally silver when I ordered, but that's my fault not yours, was difficult to see in picture. But they fit good so they'll be fine. First time I ordered from you but will not the last. Was impressed with fast service, which was good because I'd recently had surgery and was anxious to get back into it and needed new shoes; hard to find in stores in my size. I have orthotics for my shoes so arch support is important. Thank you.

ASICS Gel-Rocket® III -
My daughter absolutely loves these shoes. We couldn't find her size (10 1/2 in womens) locally and the local store acted like it would be a major hassle for them to try to find the size at their other stores so we searched the web. We placed the order with Zappos on a Saturday and the shoes arrived on Tuesday!!! Excellent!!!!!!!!!

Not True to Fit -
I had been wearing New Balance for years and after reading the reviews re: true to fit, I went for it. The shoes were snug but I hoped they would give a little. Unfortunately after a few days playing on the court, the shoes are still to snug to wear for the upcoming Nationals in Atlanta. I will probably have to buy another pair or go back to my old shoes. Since you cannot return shoes after they've been worn, (unlike NB), make sure you are comfortable before trying them out on the court.

Love this shoe -
I love this shoe... its a little tight in the instep, but I think some breaking in is all that is necessary. I originally ordered up a 1/2 size as other reviewers recommended, but ended up returning for my normal size. This is why I will only order shoes from Zappos... completely worry-free shopping.

Just What I Was Looking For!
Gum soles are unbeatable for hardwood floor games. I play women's Volleyball in a rec group once a week. I wanted a good looking neutral shoe that will hold up for a long time. When I played College ball, the school would supply shoes as a part of the uniform. Through the years I have tried multiple brands, Nike, Asics, Mizuno, you name it. For durability, comfort, and basic purpose, Asics brand Volleyball shoes have always been great. And YES... as with most athletic shoes...buy a half size up. I wear an 8.5 when I have socks on... So I ordered a 9... fits great!! They are a little stiff at first, so be sure to wear them around your house for a few days before competing in them... you want to be flexible and not get blisters!! Lace em tight to eliminate lots of rubbing and possibilities of blisters when you play! Enjoy, I am!
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Mizunos are good too, just more $.

Overall good -
I have used these shoes for my club volleyball career. They are pretty nice. Asics is a good brand. But after spending LONG days at tournaments I really feel like I need an upgrade. These shoes do well for school volleyball which doesn't last near as long as a club day. They are comfortable for a littler while. I have a really high arch & they start to push down on it after a while. They also don't work very well with my Active Ankle ankle braces. I am upgrading to the Adidas Climacool. If you play for school and are looking for the less expensive one season shoes, these are the ones for you. If you want the long time long wear, I suggest differently. They do last long though!! I am a 7 & had to go to an 8 in these shoes!
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Adidas Climacool, Mizuno, any other Asics.

Nice looking shoe with decent support. The rubber soles provide good floor contact, no slipping.

Good shoes!
My team bought these shoes and they are so good! They keep you from sliding all over the court! But after having them for a year and a half I have to get new ones because the traction ran out. But it is still an amazing shoe, and I'm getting another pair of them! They run a little small, I am normally a 10 & 1/2 but I got an 11 and they fit fine. So order up a half size.

Volleyball Shoes -
My daughter loves these shoes now that we got the sizing right. She plays middle school volleyball in a fairly competitive environment and they have served her well. They definitely run small (by a half size or so), so order up! The blue is a very cool, metallic, almost iridescent color which is hard to see on the website (i.e. they looked better than expected upon arrival!).

Great for indoor field hockey -
Bought these for my high schooler for playing indoor field hockey. She was always sliding around the floor with other shoes, but with these no more sliding! She likes that they are light, but offer good lateral support. After trying several other indoor playing surface shoes, we've finally found a winner!

Top shoes for playing, working or exercise -
Comfortable shoes for multi type activity combined with decent looks. Excellent grip inside or indoor sports, comfortable fit even after long hours at work. Its better suited for winter than summer, since it offers a good protection from cold or rain in exchange of ventilation/breathability. Excellent shoes overall.

ASICS were a great choice -
I bought this shoe for my daughter for volleyball and she really likes them. They look great and the performance they offer is well worth the price. I want to add that I ordered this at 11pm and they were at my house the next morning. GREAT SHIPPING! Thanks!

Pretty good -
They are great for indoor courts, and they look pretty decent. The support around the foot is really good as far as I can tell (not much side-rolling kind of stuff) but my feet often hurt in the arch after fencing practice - but that's probably just because of my horribly-structured feet. For a person with normal feet, I think they'd be great.

It is a beautiful shoe and really felt comfortable for a short time. I think I ordered the wrong arch type as the heel part made my heels hurt after a full days wear. Customer Service was excellent.
