has anyone used these for playing sand volleyball?

Have not used them for sand volleyball, however I think they will wear through quickly. This has a sole that is just a painted decal. Mine wore through in a cement pool after a period of hours.

No, but I can tell you that the sole reinforcement is thin and doesn't last a long time in the pool however, again due to thinness, you have a good feeling for the ground. I intend to buy another pair soon.

yes, you should be able to throw a good distance, they are just a little less firm than a tennis ball(?). Hope this helps

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

Yes. I was actually surprised at how durable they are. My 6 children played with them this summer and weren't careful and they lasted!

Hmm-m-m-m. . . I love thinking outside the box! Yes, I THINK these would work for that. They're stretchy, would cling to your feet, and offer a measure of protection from debris in the sand and heat. I don't know if they would keep the sand completely out though. Don't know what to say about size, except that I take between an 8 1/2 and 9, got a large, and it was a bit big (but no problem for swimming with fins).

I haven't, and the reason why is because the cost of shipping the old pair back, plus the cost of shipping the replacement to me, is too close to the price of just buying a new pair to be worth it. I use them at the gym and just accept that they are a product that will wear out and need to be replaced.

I bought them for diving because my boots were too wide for my foot and they worked great for me. And I walked around on the soft deep sand at the beach in Panama City Beach in Florida with them. I didn't notice any sand that had gotten in. I really like them. They fit securely around the lower ankles. I hope this helps.

We buy these volleyballs for both indoor and outdoor purposes so they work well and are pretty durable. Cement might scuff them up a bit more than sand or hard wood floor but i bet it would still work well!

Hi,I wore a pair once when playing slow pitch, and very restricted, due to the stabilisers. Affected my infielding too.hope this helps.

I haven't tried dunking them but I have released the pressure from my pressure cooker with them. The rapid release steam hit the the gloves directly and I didn't feel it. With the old ones, I got burned a bit from doing the same thing. There are silicon mits out there that you can dunk but I don't like the control with them.

I only use mine for playing basketball indoors, so I have no idea if they will hold up under the conditions you plan to subject them to. I find them to be great for indoor use.

My daughter wears hers all the time while practicing volleyball! Never seems to have any problems at all!

I think they would. We use them for sand volleyball and when the sand is moist it gets packed and hard. Even in intense playing my husband's feet are always perfect. The material on the bottom of the sock I think, would keep your feet protected from the pool.

In the entire case, I had no broken balls and no noticeable dimples. They were definitely worth the price for me. I agree with Abe that these are not what you want for high-level competition, but they're a great buy for recreational use.

Hi James. I never had this problem. Give it another try. You can also go to a local sports store and they should have these. Hope this helps.

I would not recommend it for volleyball. I feel the landing zone for the ball would be too small.

Yes, they are sand filled and at best travel 10'. They are great for warm-ups or strengthening swings, we use them for our 9/10 year old little league team. They give great response on whether the ball is struck well or not.
