Great performance shoe but could stand some padding in the back of heel area. Takes a lot of wear before that area breaks in enough to not cause blisters. Would like to get a pair of shoes I can play in right out of the box!

Love the color purple and black! The shoe seems to run a little big. I normally wear size 11. I might recommend ordering half size smaller.

I ended up returning these shoes. I really liked the fit and they were very lightweight. However, the tongue of the shoe poked my ankle. It was a hard tab that cut into my skin. Someone with very skinny ankles might not have that problem. They bothered me just in the few minutes I had them on in my home. I was hoping to use these shoes as exercise shoes due to the light weight. Too bad.

Shoe is great but they changed the shipping price on me, paid nearly $30 to have a simple pair of shoes sent to me. Ridiculous! Originally told shipping was $20, once processed informed it changes to nearly $30...where did these things come from across the world?

Purchased the purple & black Z4, daughter has worn them several times and loves them, says they are very comfortable. These run small; order at least a half size up.

I love Mizuno shoes. They fit great, grip the floor very well, and move well with my body. However, it seems as though they're not built to last as any Mizuno volleyball shoe I buy begins to fall apart after about a year. I bought the Z5's in May of last year, and the seams have already begun to rip and I can see my socks through the shoe in some areas. I attribute it to a highly competitive level of play, but if I'm paying more than $100 for a pair of shoes, I would like expect it to last longer than a year.

The shoes look great. My daughter found that the heel area to be wider than other shoes. So sad to have to send them back.

Bought these for my daughter after the Z3 and thought they would last longer. Already wearing out and showing signs of early deterioration
Will be contacting Mizuno shortly

Nice color. Not much arch support. Material is kind of plastic feeling. Returned it

I've wanted to try Mizuno's for a while and finally did, with disappointment. This show runs small, and the overall construction is not what I thought it would be considering the hype these shoes get; thin materials, not much cushion at all. This pair, along with a pair of Wave Lightning Z5, which fit worse than the Z4, are headed back to Zappo's today.

Fit is comfortable. and true to size. These shoes look very cheap. The are shinny, and the pictures look better than they do in person.

I'm sure it's a great shoe, however would NOT recommend purchasing directly from Mizuno website. The shoes actually run about a whole size smaller than their "FIT" application recommends. Additionally, when there is a need to return the item, you are on the hook for any shipping fees incurred. It's shocking in this day and age, with all the online competition that Mizuno doesn't honor exchanges and or free returns. So not only does my daughter NOT get the shoes she wanted, old dad is on the hook for the return fees. Disappointed.

If I could give these shoes no stars, I would. The most uncomfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet. Unfortunately, once they are worn, you cannot return.

I’m really disappointed with Mizuno. I’ve been buying them for years. This is the 3rd shoe in a row I’ve been unhappy with. This one being the worst. I put an insert from another shoe in today before my walk. The original insert is like flat cardboard. My feet hurt so bad on my way home from walking. And the outside of the shoe feels like plastic. They are a waste of money and will be looking for a different brand. Now I know why people run barefooted.
