Mizuno Wave Lightning Z

The Mizuno Wave Lightning Z.

Unfortunately, these shoes will NOT devastate your opponent with spectacular lightning strikes. They look pretty nice though.

While these are court shoes originally designed for volleyball, some Squash Source commenters have found them unsuitable for squash. Others have used them successfully. See the comments below, on the Mizuno Wave Lightning Z2 (the replacement model for this shoe), and here.

    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.
    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.

      I remember trying these shoes on in a store and also feeling like they had very little grip I didn’t purchase. I ended up purchasing the Mizuno Wave 9 and was quite happy with the fit, feel, and grip https://www.squashsource.com/mizuno-wave-tornado-9/ , however durability was another concern as toe dragging had completely torn off the front right of my left shoe after a year. I didn’t notice this and how bad it was until I’d gotten my next pair of shoes.

      I agree with your entirely, on my second pair, heel wears out very quickly and suffered an achilles tendon injury due to shoes.
