    Hey! Ok well volleyball shoes are lightweight and have more traction. Easier to run while on the court. Sounds great huh?
    The downside is that they can get pretty pricy. If your willing to spring for them you could order them online or find them in a sporting goods store.
    Hope i helped

    you will need knee pads
    yes, volleyball shoes are different cause they have special thing at the bottom for you to be able to move faster and not fall
    i believe you can buy them at academy
    in my school they only require volleyball shoes for the varsity team but you can order them at school with your coach so ask first

    volleyball shoes have more traction then regular shoes, they are light Weight, and have more structure for the arc of your foot. They allow you to move faster and jump higher.

    the two top volleyball shoes are Mizuno and Asics.You can go to almost any sport store and you’ll find them on the shelf.They’re is plenty of other volleyball necessities such as, Knee pads, Knee braces and Ankle braces. You can find all of these in sporting stores.

    make sure you are comfortable in your shoes. make sure they don’t pinch your pinky toes or rub in sensitive places. best of luck and enjoy volleyball!! :)

    Ok, volleyball shoes have a gum sole, which makes them not slip. The toe curves up because your always supposed to be on your toes. The back of the ankle curves in for better support, and is slightly higher than regular shoes.
    You can find them at:
    Acadame Sports
    Big 5
    Sports Authority
    and mainly any sports stores.
    You will also need:
    Knee pads!! [sold even at walmart]
    If ur really serious, i would get some ankle braces
    i use a sports headband also.

    volleyball shoes are light so you move easily and quicker and it doesn’t way you down. They’re basiclly designed for volleyball. i just try to find the lightest weight running shoes that i can find bcuz running shoes are for many activities while volleyball shoes are meant just for one. you can buy them at probably any sports store( like sporting goods, sports authority, academy) or online at some websites.
    you need spadex shorts (volleyball people wear short shorts)
    loose and lightweight t shirt
    knee pads
    and probably those knee high socks
