I've been looking for good volleyball shoes for the past few years. I bought these a couple months ago, and they were perfect for my play style (fair bit of straight up-and-down jumping, lots of lateral movement). You were absolutely spot on with this review. Heel slippage was a minor issue at one point after I broke them in. I changed my lacing to accommodate the change and the lockdown is good again. The traction is amazing, especially on dirty courts where a lot of my teammates tend to slip around. I really wanted something with impact resistance due to consistent knee and achilles pain after a lot of jumping. I haven't had issues since wearing these, so I'm happy to report that they live up to their name. One issue I have had, however, is the laces. It's the cheap set that Nike puts on a lot of their lower-priced shoes. They've already frayed/broke/fused/melted at multiple points on one of my shoes. It could be partially due to my play style, but I'm still annoyed I that I need to replace them this early on.
Picked up from Nike for $56, I noticed how laterally stable they were with try on. Also the height volume is very very low, felt like if someone was slightly placing their foot on top of mine. I love the silhouette and design of these
I appreciate you Doc for going in depth for such budget shoes. I mainly play outdoor and I don’t have many options for shoes and these videos really do justice. Please do more!
I have a pair of these, played in them a few times, and not too bad. For the price, I think they are fine. Maybe a good shoe if you want to give your favorite more expensive ones a rest.
So glad to see a review from Zach on these, I have worn them for 6 months and they are my favourite shoe of the last few years. Just a really well constructed, basic (not overcomplicated like most shoe designs atm) build shoe that is super comfortable. I use them walking, playing ball, have used them to play tennis. Might try to wear them to the office next 🤣
Love your work!! I would love to see how a chinese knock off replica pair of shoes holds up against an original brand name shoe.. that would be really interesting to know if they are playable shoes or not
I use them for indoor and outdoor Pickelball. Great shoe for the money. They are a bit narrow in the toe box but seem to be fine after break in. I go through a couple pair a year due to wear on the sole. They always seem to be on sale on the Nike website. Just picked up a pair today for 56.00
For a month now, I have been playing basketball using the Nike Varsity Compete TR 3 on a wooden indoor court. What a surprise to me, it turned out to be very comfortable to wear, light, and the traction was extraordinary. What do you thing about nike varsity compete tr 3 doc?
Decent. Comfortable basketball shoe for indoors/outdoors but durability wise doesn't offer much side support and the upper mesh will wear down and brake.
got two of these on two sizes. true to size and an inch higher. this does not fit well for wide footers... if I go one more size up hill slip would be very dangerous...
@@FootDoctorZachhi doc, I actually went ahead and tried so hard to find a way to measure what my actual size is. I guess I am screwed since apparently I am at least a 12, (11.5 inches length, 12 cm on the width). But at least I got a replacement for 12s. I always just assumed that I am a double D* or something, but apparently it’s more. I should have gone with the Puma Court Rider Chaos hahaha, wanted the Dame certified since you recommended it well for wide feet and had really high scores for a budget shoe (but it was not at sale, all pairs were SRP). Guess I’ll try next time to get a proper size calculation first.
When you say 28.5cm, which size are you referring to? EUR 45, which is usually 29cm? Also, can you include the metric system in future videos, cause I have no idea what you're talking about? I google farnheit, ounces, inches and then I forget the ratio and I can't convert that quickly. You've got about 350 mil americans in your target audience, and then another 8.000.000.000 im the rest of the world.
I got these for volleyball, they started wearing down so so quickly. The durability is terrible. Support and cushion is alright but I'm kinda disappointed in my purchase. Im thinking about buying lebron 20s if I can get a size 12 pair, if not maybe Dame 8s or something. Any one got other recs for 6'5 210 volleyball player, bounce and cushion is I important since ill be max jumping a lot
@@sdqsdq6274 the grip isnt really worn down that badly from wear, but on dusty courts the grip isn't really great. the rubber on the front of the outsole started coming apart and the knit on the top ripped on the left one. tbf its volleyball so sometimes we fall and stuff, so for ball might not be as bad
I badly sprained my ankle with these. Never had an issue with my ankle until now. There is no ankle support and they are too high off the ground. I ended up buying Adidas pro model 2g and the D.O.N. Issue 5.
I also just sprained my ankle in these and have never ever had ankle problems. However, I didn’t attribute my injury to the shoe, I’m actually happy I had them on as I think I would have hurt myself sooner if I didn’t start wearing these shoes. Can you describe your injury and why you think it was the shoe? I’m open to hearing your opinion and changing mine.
Hey doc, i've been wearing the trc blaze court shoes and my plantar fasciitis is just killing me, what do you think i should be looking for a shoe so i dont get that pain?
They are great a specially for price I've paid £37 on discount so I took 2 pairs😁 Perform very well much better than some shoes even 3x more expensive. I can highly recommend them. Since I put them on my feats I knew that is a bulls eye 🎯 so comfy and wraps feats very well. You will not buy anything better than this for that money !
Worst basketball shoes I ever bought... Cheap, the heel comes out and at the same time the rest of the foot is struggled. Too long and too narrow. Sprained my ankle with them without any other player involved.

Literally just ordered these a few hours ago for a budget outdoor shoe, didn’t even realize this review was uploaded today haha

Hey bro should I buy these for cemented courts ,what about the air bubble is it durable.? Pls reply.

Thanks for making this video. I have watched 4 other reviews of the shoe. None of them mention the shank. Keep up the good work

Thanks Zach! I have been looking for this review for quite a while, glad to see it here! Great video as always.
Oh my god I’ve been waiting for this review for so long thx I needed this

Great shoe for budget wise hoopers just consider the kind of socks your going to use this affects sizing and performance

Hey Doc, do a teardown of the Curry 3z7 pleaseeeee

Would you do a video on the Nike Air Max Plus (TN1) please? I feel the Tuned Air technology helps with pronation but I can’t be sure.
can you review the asics nova surge low
8:03 that hoop is brutal
Dude I’ve never seen doinks like on those rims at that park- defies the laws of physics
Decent. Comfortable basketball shoe for indoors/outdoors but durability wise doesn't offer much side support and the upper mesh will wear down and brake.
Are they better than the dame certified or not
Wished they kept it as a mid-cut shoe like the Impact 3.
Hey
Could u do a review of the JB2 when u get the chance pls?
My son got that pair and he is good with the performance.
Zach what is the best running shoe to use for people with wider feet?
Gel kayano 30
Can you do a review of Adizero select 2.0?
I bought a pair of these and my right foot can last about 20 minutes of regular walking around the house. I’m not sure if it’s my feet or what :(
should i get these or the gt cut academy?
I bought these but got wide feet so till today they hurt when I really lock em down. I always play with them half laced
Can you do a review in the kobe 5
Its About time.thank you.
got two of these on two sizes. true to size and an inch higher. this does not fit well for wide footers... if I go one more size up hill slip would be very dangerous...
Nice haircut doc!

What do you do after you cut them? I’ll take them if you are throwing them away!
How can you stop the heel from slipping?
Hey Zach would you take the nike impact 4 over the gt cut academy
Not me personally
@@FootDoctorZach thanks

Do someone know how i can make them more bouncy? I jump lower than before, no knee pain tho

Last couple of seconds on the vid, were those kobes? You cutting them open too?

Ua lockdown 6 next pls 🙏🙏🙏
Been wearing this for months as daily, definitely not recommend for court due to airmax if you are top heavy.
is that a lifestyle shoe?

damn really ? how long the sole grip last ?

So, basically the witness 8 became a air max impact. But does this shoe feel better than the witness 8?
It did not. The witness 8 is the jounger model.

Hey doc, i've been wearing the trc blaze court shoes and my plantar fasciitis is just killing me, what do you think i should be looking for a shoe so i dont get that pain?
