Shoes adidas Stabil for volleyball

A supportive shoe, above all

The Stabil is designed primarily for starts, feints, and direction changes in handball, which explains its support. Its cushioning absorbs landings, and its structure holds the foot when pivoting. It is a bit heavier than a volley shoe, making it less responsive for jumping.

Stabil and volley-ball: what you need to know

For a recreational volleyball player, a libero, or a defender looking mainly for lateral support, the Stabil does the job very well. An attacker jumping with every rally would be better off with a shoe designed for volley.

The Courtstabil, the other model on the page

The Courtstabil rounds out the selection, in the same spirit of support. It is mainly available in adult sizes, alongside the Stabil and its many colours for men and women.

Libero, setter, defender: where does the Stabil fit in?

In volley, the Stabil mainly serves players who stay close to the ground. A libero finds a stable base for lateral receptions, a setter gets a well-held foot for short movements. For a middle blocker or an outside hitter jumping every rally, its weight becomes noticeable towards the end of the match: the Crazyflight is more suitable then.

Size of the Stabil: the size guide of the product page

Refer to the size guide on the product sheet. adidas sizes its shoes by thirds: when in doubt, take the higher third. Leave about a centimetre in front of your big toe with your sports socks.

Frequently asked questions

Can you play volley with Stabil shoes?

Yes, especially in recreational play or in a defensive position. Their lateral support and grip are suitable for the court. In competition, an attacker will benefit from a lighter indoor volley shoe.

What size should I choose in Stabil?

The size guide on the product sheet provides the right reference. adidas's third-size system allows for adjustment. Trying them on at the end of the day helps in making a decision.

Does the Stabil come in a women's version?

Yes, the page offers women's models on a shape tailored to them and with their own colours. Children's sizes are also available.

What's the difference between the Stabil and a volley shoe?

The Stabil focuses on support for starts and pivots. The volley shoe emphasises cushioning and rebound during jumps. Both provide grip on the court.

Is the Stabil heavy?

Its supportive structure adds a bit of weight compared to a lightweight indoor volley shoe. The difference is mainly felt towards the end of a match for an attacker. For a defender, the support makes up for it significantly.
