Review on 🏐 ASICS GEL Rocket Volleyball: Dominant Black and Silver Design for Enhanced Performance. by Brent Saake

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good shoe but not ideal for people with wide feet (why not wide volleyball shoes)

My ideal size is around 10-10.5W in US sizes. I usually go up a half size if I can't wear wide shoes. I've already done this with a pair of Asics running shoes and this pair fits almost exactly the same, perfect width but definitely too long. I expect it to be very good for racquetball which is why I bought it. However, they are very comfortable and I am satisfied with the purchase. I'm deducting 1 star because Asics doesn't make a wide version of a volleyball shoe like a lot of running shoes do. Since they don't sell badminton, racquetball, squash etc anymore, do you think they could make at least a wide variety of volleyball shoes? ****************** *This part is about the performance, not the shoes themselves. You may or may not have this issue. ********************** I also want to report what I think will be a big problem. I purchased this shoe and it said it was sold by Revain.com LLC and it said it was eligible for first class shipping. This product does not appear to have been received directly from Revain as it was shipped by Fed Ex instead of UPS. The product was expected on Monday and has not arrived. No door sign. I got a door hanger from the Fed on Tuesday saying they are trying to deliver the last shipment and I was due to pick up the package. (usually this only happens after the 3rd delivery). I don't know exactly who is having this problem. Was it a lazy, well-fed ex-supplier who probably didn't show up until Tuesday and didn't want to come back? Was it the fact that this was most likely done by a third party that was supposed to use UPS but lower rates with Fed Ex? Was it because Revain misrepresented who sold the product to me and guaranteed 2 day delivery via UPS (which is left at the door) and didn't tell me it was delivered by Fed Ex? I am not sure. I didn't include this part of the ordering experience in my review but I am very dissatisfied with how it was done.
