After trying on and testing multiple volleyball shoes, my daughter chose the Mizuno Wave Momentum 3, and we couldn’t be more pleased with her decision. As both an outside hitter and defensive specialist, she needs a shoe that excels in both agility and support—and these deliver in spades.The first thing she noticed was how responsive they are during her jumps. As an outside hitter, she relies on quick bursts of speed and explosive jumps, and these shoes really help with both. The cushioning and energy return in the midsole give her that extra push off the floor, making her jumps feel higher and more controlled.Equally important for her role as a defensive specialist, the grip on these shoes is outstanding. She can plant her feet firmly on the court for digs and quick lateral movements without worrying about slipping or losing traction. The Wave Momentum 3’s sole provides incredible stability, even when she’s moving fast in all directions.Beyond performance, the fit is perfect—true to size with a snug but comfortable feel, so there's no slipping or discomfort during long practice sessions or tournaments. The durability of the shoe has been impressive as well; they’re holding up well through both high school and club season play.Overall, these shoes have been a game-changer for her on the court. They check all the boxes for anyone playing multiple positions and looking for a top-tier volleyball shoe—excellent grip, great jump support, and long-lasting comfort. Highly recommend the Mizuno Wave Momentum 3!
