Why 4 stars only? No doubt that pair was my first real volleyball snickers, and if I compare to all what I had before they are fantastic, but guys from place where I play volleyball have different snickers that have a raised heel, better looking, and ofcourse much more expensive.  I'm not a professional volleyball player,  may people whom I know wear those. One of the guys who is professional after I ruptured my Achilles tendon told me that I'm wearing the cheapest volleyball sneakers... They have a good grip.
