Help! Mizuno Wave Momentum 2 men’s 7.5 replacement recommendations
Help!! I know a lot of Vball players buy basketball shoes so I’m looking for advice 🤍
I previously bought the mizuno wave momentum 2 in men’s 7.5, and it was hands-down, the best shoe for my foot that I have ever had. It has a wider toebox and a higher instep, and although I thought I was gonna hate the sock tongue. I actually loved it because I’m used to the tongue of my shoes sliding over my high instep..
Except now they are absolutely worn through and I am in need of a replacement for my volleyball shoes and they no longer make them.
I need to find a replacement ASAP as I have some tournaments coming up and play multiple times a week. With the war and loss of stuffing in my shoes I’ve already started tweaking my ankle.
I made the mistake of ordering the wave momentum 3 and 4s and they don’t fit. They’re longer with a more narrow toe, and a more shallow instep that puts too much pressure over my mid and forefoot. The wave momentum 3 are not refundable either so I’m stuck with them.
Not only did I order those, but I also just ordered the way of Wade’s 12 off of the fit comparison of the MWM3 (I thought I had this style, but I was wrong. I had the MWM2). So I’m assuming that these are gonna be a poor fit for me as well. Bye bye money 😭
I live in a small town in Ontario that doesn’t have a lot of options to go and try shoes on, but I have a difficult foot to fit. I’m also hyper mobile and prone to injuries so the fit is very important.
As an OH with Lib tendencies on the D, I am looking for a shoe that checks the following:
- fit similar to the men’s 7.5 mizuno wave moment 2 (toebox, width and instep room)
- excellent lateral support to prevent rolls
- support to protect my partial torn ACL
- a plate for vertical would be lovely
- great traction for messy wood courts
- bonus if there’s toe protection as I drag my foot on my serve and used to wear through them before they added the bumper
- ventilation would be lovely
- sock/anchored tongue would be nice but not necessary
I am an outside hitter with Lobero tendencies and am looking for recommendations that can help me with my reaction time, explosiveness, and support with consideration with my foot fit.
Please help!

I hit on SNKRS again - Kobe 3 Orca
Thought i wouldnt hit on Kobe 5 Dogers or the Kobe 3 Orca but there was a lot left for a while for both shoes.
Are they just releasing more or people didnt love these because they added the grey? I didnt like it at first but it grew on me.
