About ASICS Men's Upcourt 5 Volleyball Shoes
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
81% were impressed with the support
I wear these shoes for playing pickle ball and find that they provide good support and enable fast cuts.
The grip of my shoes is just right while playing indoor pickleball on a hardwood surface.
Running or walking sneakers don't provide the support needed for side to side movement on pickleball and tennis courts.
After playing pickleball, my feet are never sore or painful thanks to the great support provided by these shoes.
81% liked the fit and comfort, but 19% didn't
The cushioning is spot-on and prevents discomfort during quick movements on the court.
Even after loosening the laces, the shoes were very tight across the ball of my feet.
I find the toe box of the shoe too narrow and it ends up hurting my feet after a bit of play.
78% found it versatile
The shoe construction is the best feature and it holds up to many hours of volleyball, wallyball, and pickleball play.
85% highlighted the traction, however 15% didn't
The shoes have a nice relatively sticky 'blonde' sole that holds well without squeaking or marking, making them great for moderate treadmill work.
On an indoor pickleball court, these shoes have just the right amount of grip.
The shoes have hard soles with little flex, making it difficult to land while jumping, which is a key part of volleyball.
92% liked the lightweight design
These shoes are great for the gym and not too heavy like many other tennis shoe based cross trainers.
85% appreciated the durability, while 15% encountered issues
The shoe construction is the best feature and it holds up to many hours of play.
I think I may lose some durability because of the difference in the toe box mesh. I'll see how they hold up.
78% appreciated the cushioning, although 22% raised concerns
I felt unstable in the forefoot and ankle area while doing jumping jacks, mountain climbers and lateral mobility exercises in my traditional running shoes.
The interior of the heel came undone on both shoes, causing the padding to become exposed and eventually disintegrate, making the shoes unwearable and painful on the backs of my heels.
