It's a good look and also light-weight. Perfect for a DS or Libero! If you wear ankle braces, it will be a snug fit (maybe go up half a size). But overall, great shoe!

I use both basketball shoes and volleyball shoes for volleyball- this Mizuno lightning was a good way to switch up. Although it doesn't have zoom strobel or boost or other performance technologyit has good court feel, low to the ground, and I sized up by half to give my foot full splay. I started out with half a size too small but it was still playable and not uncomfortable, but not optimal. Finally got the right size up and foot splay is way better without compromising foot containment. I'll use my first pair in the gym since I'll be using my second one in court.

The shoe itself is awesome and is great for volleyball. It has great absorption for landing after jumping and has a nice spring for takeoff.
That being said, I would highly recommend replacing the insoles as soon as possible. They feel cheap and thin like cardboard and provide no shock support.

Nice shoes, but as other reviewers stated, definitely runs narrow and small. I usually wear a 8.5, and I will send back and maybe order again in a 9.5.

I have the Z5 model and have been wearing them for a couple of years. It was time to order new shoes so I purchased the Z6 model. The Z6 model has a different tongue - it is partially sewn in at the front of the shoe, so it is extremely difficult for me to get the shoe on my foot. I have a high instep and it is almost painful. I need a shoehorn to get the shoes on. Once they are on, they are fine, but the bones on the top of my foot are a little sore from trying to get the shoes on.

My daughter loves these we bought them at a local shop. 3 stars are because of the color. The rep at the local store told us these were White and Royal and that is what we look like. Online the color looks somewhat royal but the description says White and Navy. If you are looking for Navy buyer beware. If you are looking for royal also buyer beware but if they are anything like ours the sure look royal. P.S. I own Lighting RX men's and my daughter previously had Lighting R3 black and royal we both love the fit and performance great shoes last long my daughter played 3 seasons and pickup games year long. Would defiantly recommend the shoes if the color is right.

EXTREMELY tight in arch. So much I couldn't even get my foot in. If you have flat feet, like a cutting board, these may fit for you.

I have liked wearing Mizuno wave shoes. I purchased 2 pair about 3 years ago and finally wore them out. The replacements that I have ordered didn't fit as well and I felt that the shoe quality was low. I just ordered another pair and the quality is even worse. The fit is terrible and the construction is CHEAP. I will never purchase another pair of Mizuno shoes.
