Mizuno Volleyball Shoe sizes?

Question

I'm looking to buy some Mizuno (Wave Lightning 3 specifically) volleyball shoes online, and I was wondering if anyone could help me with sizing. Do Mizuno shoes run exceptionally small or large?

I wear a 7.5 in sperries.. an 8 in most other things.

Answer 1

I would get an 8 if you wear that size with any other shoes. Mizuno shoes aren't any different.

Answer 2

I purchased a pair of Mizuno Wave Lightening 3 LAST WEEK.  I was worried about their sizing too because I was ordering online.  I ended up ordering my usual size and they feel slightly tigher than other brands but  I like them the way they are because I don't want my performance shoes to be any bigger than they need to be.

Some athletic performance trainers even recommend wearing half size smaller shoes for better performance as long as they don't hurt your feet.

If you wear between 7.5 and 8, 8 should be the right choice.

I wear between 9 and (mostly)9.5 and 9.5 fits just right.

Below is the fit survey from Zappos.com for the item of your interest.

63% of Fit Survey Respondents said this shoe

"Felt a half size smaller than marked".

93% of Fit Survey Respondents said this shoe

"Felt true to width".

70% of Fit Survey Respondents said this shoe had

"Moderate arch support".



By the way, these feel great.  Best volleyball investment I've ever made.

Answer 3

Mizuno is "normally" half size smaller so that if you get "8 in most other things" you should go with size 8. I personally got a pair that was half size over my Nike and same size as my Reebok (I bought Nike and Reebok in local stores so I could try them "first-foot"), and they turned out to be perfect.

You may also check out some website such as zappos.com and Amazon for reviews regarding the size. Most of them were talking about 0.5 "size-it-up".

Answer 4

yeah definitely. they fit like normal. just go with your normal sizing.

Answer 5

choose 8 - 8.5 (to be sure)

Answer 6

believe it or not,-the only volleyball shoes i have ever worn are mizuno wave lightning.

they fit true to size- but if you wear ankle braces or double socks, then it wouldnt hurt to go up a half size.

so an 8 or possibly an 8.5 would work.
