Answer 4

For regular games, yes you can. Running shoes are good enough to help you move around and have some fun games.

If you are involved in more competitive volleyball games, when every partial second is more valuable, then a pair of volleyball shoes would be needed.

Volleyball shoes were designed to provide more lateral grip on the court, besides helping you go back and forth, while running shoes were designed to only help you move *forward*.

Volleyball shoes also provide more protection to your toes. If you feel soreness in your toes after playing two three hours of volleyball, it is time to consider purchasing a pair of volleyball shoes.

Asics and Mizuno are top (popular) brands right now for volleyball shoes, and some Mizuno shoes are on sale right now at eastbay.com (the online footlocker without tax charge). Sports Authority, and Zappos also have good selections and great service (including "free shipping both ways").

I personally wear Mizuno Men's Wave Tornado, and I have been happy with my purchase.

Answer 5

Yes, you can use running shoes to play volleyball, however also remember that shoes are designed for their specifics...ie running shoes made to support your foot while running etc. And since volleyball & running are completely different the shoes are made different. Volleyball shoes provide lateral support and so on and so forth...gearded toward what volleyball players need.

If you are just playing to play, sure. It's not biggie...but if you are going to play competitive I'd say try and get volleyball shoes. It'll provide you with more stability overall while playing volleyball.

Adidas, Nike, Asics, Kaepa, Mizuno...they all have volleyball shoes. However, I personally reccomend Mizuno. I've had Nike volleyball shoes before & Adidas....but I prefer Mizuno's now. Plus, Mizuno has all sorts of different shoes for you to pick from (ie Wave spike, etc.)

Answer 6

Sure!!
