Volleyball Sneakers are designed to be extremely light weight. In Volleyball, there is nothing worse than limiting the jump that you have access too. Every single cm makes a huge difference in Volleyball, especially if you are a front row hitter. As a result of this, the shoes are designed to give maximum grip, to weigh the least possible and yet to provide an incredible amount of support for when you land. If you take a look at some of the best Volleyball Players in the world it is obvious that they can easily jump a meter vertically, meaning that there is a lot of stress put on their hips, knees and ankles when they land. Volleyball Sneakers are designed to be able to absorb that impact without putting that initial shock force onto all of your joints! Some of the better shoes to get are Asics Volleyball Shoes and Mizuno Volleyball Shoes.
If you are just learning to play Volleyball, then there is a good chance that you won’t need to spend such money on these shoes. The great thing about Volleyball is that you are able to wear normal cross trainers, running shoes and even Basketball shoes, if you don’t have a set of Volleyball Shoes. To be honest, buying a set of Volleyball Sneakers when you have very little experience with the sport is a total waste of money. There is a possibility (although very low!) that you will decide that Volleyball is not the sport for you, and then you have wasted all of that money. I know that I played Volleyball for many years with Basketball Sneakers, because that was what I wore around most of the time anyway. Volleyball Sneakers make that little bit of extra difference, but when you are only learning to play the sport it doesn’t make all that much difference anyway. Volleyball Shoes are important, but your knee pads, ankle braces and clothing also plays a vital role in how you play on court!
