Asics Gel-Powerbreak Gs Volleyball Shoes - Blue - Size 5 UK

While designed for volleyball, their supportive features might make them suitable for other indoor court sports like badminton or squash, provided the specific demands of those sports are met.

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping.

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Hand-clean with a damp cloth instead.

The Gel technology in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption, cushioning the impact of landings and reducing stress on joints.

The lifespan of shoes depends on usage intensity and frequency. Typically, for active junior players, consider replacing them every 6-12 months or when you notice significant wear or loss of support and cushioning.

No, these shoes are not waterproof. They are designed for indoor court use and are not intended to be worn in wet conditions.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they are slightly snug, wearing them for short periods indoors can help them stretch slightly. Consider trying a half-size up if the tightness is significant.

Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. Dirt or dust on the sole can reduce traction. If the soles appear worn, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.

Verify the lacing is appropriate – not too tight or too loose. Allow a break-in period of a few training sessions. Check if the internal cushioning is still providing adequate support.
