ASICS Women's GEL-Flashpoint 2 Volleyball Shoe

Even though they are called volleyball shoes, these shoes are perfect for Zumba and other cardio dance type classes. I have been buying them for several years and I always keep two pair on hand and rotate them. I am a fitness instructor so one pair lasts me about 6 months. This way, I buy two pair a year and it works great. I gave them 5 stars even though I said they didn't have good arch support because no shoe has the arch support I need. I pronate quite a bit so I have to remove the inserts that come with the shoes and use my own orthotics. I do this with every shoe I wear. My feet run narrow so by checking "somewhat narrow", that's a positive for me. I have a lot of trouble finding shoes that have a snug enough fit at the heel and these are perfect.

Love this shoe! I needed a shoe for Pickleball as all my other shoes were forward motion (running, walking). This shoe does the trick and is very attractive. I may order the other colors as well.

I got these shoes to wear as everyday shoes, not for volleyball. However, I do play volleyball and think they would be fantastic for indoor play. The bottoms are grippy, they lace up tight, and the sidewalls are stiff enough that your foot won't scoot around in the shoe. I typically wear an 8.5 in sneakers and these fit as expected. The colors are bright (I got the pink/black/blue pair). The only thing I will say to be careful of is that these are not made for wet weather. For one, the top part over your toes is made of a meshy material for ventilation, and normally this is not an issue unless it's dumping rain, however, these shoes also have bottom ventilation holes as well. For example, yesterday i walked across my lawn after a pretty rainy day, and water squished up into my toe area through these two small holes on the bottom center. I would not say this is a deal breaker for these shoes, but just be aware of the weather when you wear them.

After falling twice while wearing running shoes to play Pickleball, I decided I needed a pair of lateral moving shoes. I checked out a lot of shoes and decided on these since I have been an Asics fan through 25 years of running. These shoes did not disappoint me. The court is an indoor basketball floor. I move easily on the court now and have no issues with moving in any direction. I also like the colors of the shoes. I normally wear a size 7 in regular shoes but buy size 8 in my athletic shoes because of the socks I wear. My foot is the normal 3 1/2 inch in width and 9 1/4 in length. I have a high arch and these shoes are adequate for that. These are comfortable court shoes, and I highly recommend them.

This shoes fits true to size, has great forefoot and heel cushioning, and is sufficiently rigid for squash. Best feature is that there is no stitching directly over the toes...a design flaw that has caused lots of blisters and bloody toes in other brands. I've tried three different brands of court shoes in my quest for the perfect squash shoe...the Flashpoint 2 is it.

I really like the color/style of these shoes. They are so colorful pretty & girly. The only thing I don't like is the shiny black trim. *In time I'm sure it'll dull. I should've maybe gone up a size since I have wide feet. Ive had asics before it's not horrible like I can't wear them but, the toe box is a bit narrow. I think after I break them in they will be fine. I walk a lot during my 5hr. work shift about 10k steps min. They are supportive & fit my needs nicely. Also, the "lace" look of the toe box is a nice ventilation/circulation. Nice touch! All in all decent shoes!

Love the colors and it arrived exactly as it looks on the site, incase you're wondering if the colors are off. They aren't. Only thing is it is a volleyball shoe, not a walking shoe. so my feet feel little weird when I am just going for a walk. Not too bad, but just weird. But comfortable non-the-less. And very good when I go to the gym with them. They do get a lot of stares when I go down the block. and they go with almost everything in my closet. very fun shoe.

These shoes are super fun to look at, but not to wear. They are very flat, with little/no arch support, and the soles are very rigid. As other reviewers noted, they're probably best suited for weightlifting or some stationary type work outs. The sole was not flexible, which made moving around awkward. I got these for Zumba, which some reviewers recommended, however, I would not, mostly due to the stiffness of the shoe. They seem like nice quality, and the "atlantis" color is so fun, but not right for my purpose, which is why I went with 3 stars.BTW, I went with a Ryka: Grafik shoe for Zumba and am much happier with that!

The shoe is far too large. The supplier said we can return it but thats also expensive. Such a shame because it is a beautiful shoe!!!

Nice!
