I use these for indoor and outdoor Pickleball. They provide excellent cushion on my heels and solid grip on multiple surfaces.

Another indoor-shoe masterpiece! This model is improved when compared to the last version. They feel a little softer and fit me even better.

I have narrow feet and the medium width does run narrow ,so for me they were perfect. I do not play Volleyball, but I really like the styling and the comfort of these shoes. They are good for walking, and moderate support; and they make a good street shoe!

finally have the forever pickleball shoe for me (keep making these, Mizuno)! I have a slightly wide toe base and these offer the perfect amount of room AND flexibility. I can have weight on my toes and bend the Phalanges easily to push offprevious shoes were too stiff and narrow. The shock absorption is superb too. All of this comes in a light-weight shoe that I wear right out of the box, no need to break them in. I'm in my second year of wearing these exclusively. Admittedly, they are not cheap. But I feel safe in them as I get good traction and lateral movement support. So I spend a wee bit of the kids inheritance for good reason. Thank you for a good shoe.

I have been using this style for running for years even though it is a volleyball shoe. It has great "bounce" and is a perfect fit for my narrow feet. I also use these shoes for weightlifting and HIIT training. I normally wear size 8/8.5 but for this shoe i need a size 9 so consider ordering a half size up.

Love to use this Mizuno style as a running shoe even though it is intended for volleyball. It fits my narrow feet really well and it has great "bounce " since I like to run fast. It is also very versatile and I use one pair for running, one for lifting, and another for HIIT training. Thanks for the wonderful shoes!

Great shoes! Very light and super comfortable. I bought these to replace an older version of the wave lightning and am still very happy with this series-- I didn't have a ton of time to break them in but my feet were still quite comfortable after a full game.

I play pickleball and these are the most comfortable for my feet. They wear quite well considering I play on an outdoor court surface several hours per week.

This is my daughter's second pair of Wave Lightening. She says they are comfortable and I think they look good. She's still fairly new to volleyball, so I am glad to get a good pair of shoes at this price point. I'll probably have to buy a third pair this year if her feet continue to grow!

I love these shoes. I am a PE teacher and on my feet most of the day. Having this pair of shoes makes being on my feet enjoyable and allows me to focus on the kids and not on my feet hurting from my older pair of shoes.
