Ranjan, good question. You might want to check out Sportsshoes.com for a decent selection of larger size athletic shoes. Hopefully you'll find what you need here.

Hi Kaci, thanks for your questions! There's quite a history behind volleyball shoes. I can tell you that the first volleyball shoe, according to Fairway Volleyball, was the Tiger Westwood. Tiger is the original name of what we now know as ASICS.

Volleyball shoes differ from other athletic shoes in their soles and weight. The soles are constructed of gum rubber, which is ideal for playing on hard surfaces and provides excellent traction. Supposedly the top of the line volleyball shoes are all lightweight, and those that are heavier are generally the less costly shoes.

I'm afraid we haven't been able to trace who invented them, but we'll update as we find out!
