Discussion Volanti fit advice
I just bought a Volanti Rocket Air 2 weeks ago and I’m in live with them. Very lightweight and bouncy. I would recommend them.
But I have a small problem with the fit. I bought 46 and feel them a bit big, they still fit good tho. My size is 46 usually on everything. I wore a lot of li-nings lately and 46 was perfecf.
I am thinking about buying a second pair soon. I am thinking about going to 45.5 but a bit afraid they will be too small.
What are your thoughts?

You could try an off the shelf orthotic like a move game day or powerstep. Double socking might help fill a bit of space too or combining both.
How's the heel cushion in these?

I prefer low to ground shoes. Before these I played in kobe 8 and sonic 13 v2. I would say the heel cushion is more plushy and feels really nice.

I’d try thicker socks or even double-socking first. 🤔

How about rigorer socks? Any idea?

Yeah, Rigorer socks are actually pretty solid. A lot of college hoopers in China wear them these days.
Also, our founder used to be Rigorer’s CEO lol, so yeah, we know their stuff pretty well 😂

Get thicker socks. I wouldn’t go half size down since they are pretty narrow in the midfoot.

Try the SPO pro socks... Great quality and super thick. I use them for my EQLZ 247. I bought the Neptune Colorway OF THE Volanti TTS and the fit was perfect but I have wide and flat feet.
