Women's
Women's volleyball shoes designed for the indoor court - a grippy gum outsole, lateral support for side-to-side movement, and cushioning to protect your knees and ankles on landings. Shop Asics, Mizuno, Nike and Adidas.
How to choose: women's lasts run a little narrower, but many top models are unisex and fit well either way - go by fit. Filter by size and brand, and see the full footwear range.
Volleyball shoes should feel snug, with about a thumb's width (roughly 1 cm) of space at the toes and no heel slipping when you jump or move side to side. A secure fit protects your ankles on landings. Try them on at the end of the day with the socks you play in, like those in our volleyball socks, and walk, shuffle and jump before deciding. Shop all women's volleyball shoes.
Unisex models, like the Nike Hyperace 3 and Hyperquick or the Mizuno Wave Momentum 4 Pro Unisex, usually use an M/W scale. A women's size is about 1.5 sizes larger than the men's equivalent, so a women's 8 is typically a men's 6.5 on the same shoe. Always check the size chart on each product, as it can vary slightly by brand.
Women's-specific models are built on a narrower last, with a slimmer heel and forefoot to match the typical shape of a woman's foot. Popular choices include the Mizuno Wave Momentum 4 Elite and Pro Women's, the Mizuno Wave Luminous Elite Women's, the Asics Sky Elite FF 4 and Gel Rocket 12 Women's, and the Adidas Crazyflight 7 Mid Women's. Unisex models have a standard fit and suit many players too, so try both if you can.
Liberos and defensive specialists stay low and react fast, so they usually prefer lighter, low-cut shoes that sit close to the floor. Good options include the Nike Hyperquick and Zoom Hyperspeed Court 2, the Asics Gel Rocket 12 Women's and the Mizuno Wave Luminous Elite Women's. Pair them with good kneepads for all those digs.
Mid-top models wrap higher around the ankle and are popular with outside hitters and middle blockers who land from jumps all game. Options include the Adidas Crazyflight 7 Mid Women's, the Asics Sky Elite FF MT 3 Women's and the Mizuno Wave Momentum 4 Elite Mid. A shoe alone doesn't prevent sprains, so players with past ankle injuries often add an ankle brace from our braces collection.
Not necessarily. A snug fit is normal and volleyball shoes loosen slightly as you break them in. But if your toes are pressed against the front, or the top of your foot hurts even with the laces loosened, try a half size up rather than a full size, since a shoe that's too big is unstable on quick cuts.
