Mizuno Wave Lightning Z2 for Squash
Mizuno Wave Lightning Z2:After some internet research based on Mizuno top athletes using and testimoning for Mizuno shoes for Squash, I decided to go ahead and buy the Mizuno Wave Lightning Z2.Mizuno Wave Lightning Z2 is made and designed for volleyball but market for squash by Mizuno Asia.After a week of use I found the shoes is not safe for squash. Since the heel is very slippery and the there is not enough rubber in the heel area for a good grip. I had many accidents when trying to change directions in the court specially when sprinting backwards.I recommend DO NOT buy this shoes for anything other than volleyball since Mizuno does not design, does not have enough research data and they will not stand behind their products if your use its not solely for volleyball.Page 5 shows the response from Mizuno USA Business Manager Ed regarding the performance of the shoes for other sports than volleyball and recommending to stay away from them since they are may be not feasible for anything other than volleyball.Be also aware of the questionable company ethics since the shoes is clearly market for squash on Mizuno Asia website but denied by Mizuno USA.

A hair tight, but not enough to worry about.
Nice shoe, light weight and good grip on the court surface.
I use a different shoe for outdoor courts, though...not sure how tough these are on a coarser surface.

It's a comfortable shoe, with great grip and good ankle support. That being said, initial impression is that the build quality and durability of the materials worries me a bit. Also, the tongue is just strange, not sure what the point of that design is, and it doesn't like to stay in place at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have volleyball shoe.

The length was perfect. They are narrower than I expected, which makes a tight fit on the sides, but also eliminates any side to side slipping in the shoe. The weight is good and the traction is phenominal. The shoe made me feel quicker and more confident in accellerating and stopping. It had a lot of impact absorbtion. The impact absorbtion reduced the strain and stress on my legs and ultimately lead to a higher level of stamina. This is by far the best shoe I've worn for volleyball. I highly recomend it.

Love these shoes! It has so much advanced cushioning that I really noticed how much of a difference these shoes were to my Nike shoes. My Nikes would be hard playing in because my toe would impact the floor without strong support but these New Mizuno shoes have a really good impact system and absorb the impact of my jump incredibly well. Th grip has been prestige when on the court I'm able to get really good friction for making sudden plays. Weight wise, they are super light. It feels like I'm not wearing them at all.

An a Club collegiate athlete who practices everyday, and competes at tournaments i decided to buy this product.
My use for this product was going to be minimal, i believe i have used it a total of 10 times if not less. I have only used it at important tournaments, since they have my school colors. It blows my mind that after 10 uses the shoe is breaking down, its ripping on the sides and it is not durable.! I dont recomend a shoe that costs 100$+ that you cant really on. I might as well go buy shoes From sears.
