Good Shoes but have wear marks after one practice.

Good Shoes but have wear marks after one practice.
Shoes where fine, however they developed weird wear marks on the top/side of the shoe after one practice. Now my daughter still uses them and they feel fine, it's just that the shoe has these area's where the coloring just wore off. I am attaching the picture. After coming home from the first practice they were there, I asked if she did any weird rubbing or dragging, she states now and were they are it would be very difficult to rub or wear there. It just seems to be caused by the bending of the shoes at that point which really shouldn't happen after just one time wearing the shoes. I would give higher reviews as they do feel good for my daughter but a shoe shouldn't show that type of wear so fast.
Thank you for your feedback

LOVE these volleyball shoes. I had always used Nikes but it's been a while and they don't really make volleyball shoes anymore. I liked the way that these ones looked so went with them. I was glad that I read reviews that they run a little small, so I ordered a 9.5 instead of my normal 9. They fit great! They have great support. I had been wearing just regular workout shoes and my feet were getting really tired. They have great traction and I feel like I can move really quickly without slipping in them. Love the color combination, I get tired of pink for ladies. Fantastic shoes, I would highly recommend and definitely buy again. Just keep in mind that they run a little small and order a half size up. But I love amazon because if it doesn't fit, free exchanges! Thanks Amazon!

My foot length is 26cm (it pays to know this; measure your feet!), which makes me a typical size 9. However for the Mizuno & Asics brands this matches to size 9.5 based on their charts; which I bought and it fits well. I use these labelled volleyball shoes for netball. They feel good and work great! I used to buy Asics but I find, like other reviewers, they are good but don't last too long. So I am trying the Mizunos; this is my first pair and so far so good. I bought the pink and black to match my teams uniform and they all love it! We predominantly play outdoors and so far they hold up well. They are a bit expensive compared to others but based on my experience so far, I bought another pair (different colour) and now have 2. Highly recommended!

Just wish Mizuno had them in neon green/yellow! I like this shoe... great arch support and a firm, responsive feel with every step.Very lightweight! If you want squishy... this is NOT your shoe. If you have a wide foot... this is not your shoe (unless it’s offered in a wide size... I didn’t look).

My daughter used these shoes for one volleyball season, for both games and practices. They lasted her all season but, by the end of the season the tops of the shoes had worn off. I have yet to buy any shoe that doesn't have this problem though. She is planning on using them for practice next year because, the wear isn't too severe. She was the libero on the team so she was using the front of the shoe a lot so, that probably has a large effect on why they wore so much. If you weren't diving on the ground with them everyday I'm sure they would be just fine. They are the exact same color as in the picture and they fit as expected. They were made out of high quality material and just look overall like a nice shoe. I would recommend this product to others.

Bought these for my daughter for volleyball season! She loves the fit and style. She has a size 11 foot , and is very tall ,at only 12 years old , so she needs good support for her feet and knees. She absolutely loved playing in these shoes. They held up for the whole season, she only wore them inside for practice or games, but they still look new and if they fit her she will be able to use them again for fall season!!!

My daughter is a beast on the volleyball court and now that she is entering High school I thought it was time to buy her a good pair of shoes. She loves them and they look so amazing. Definitely highly recommend.

Bought these shoes for my daughter who plays volleyball. She wears a size 8 normally, but for athletic shoes, we usually have to go half size up, which is what we did. She said these shoes fit well, and is very comfortable with her VB socks; she also loves the look and color. She has never complained of these shoes being uncomfortable. She is very happy with these VB shoes!!
