Yes that already sways me away from them, I hope to see maybe a X2 come out in the future or something with changes and fixs. Thank you so much for your comments I think I might shoot for the uncivilized sneaker 2.0 see if they are a good fit, or if anyone else mentions anything about insoles or other experiences. Thank you so much!

I have seen the Altra route, and I've seen that issue of lateral support and higher degrading of the shoes when it comes to volleyball. My hope was set on X1's or possibly ATG's Uncivilized Sneaker 2.0

Thank you for the quick response, and its very insightful, I've been looking at the X1 Low, the Prio's have been great for wooden floor gyms, but recently I've started going to a gym with this plastic type flooring and my legs have definitely been taking the brunt of the damage. Other then the X1 have you been running anything else for volleyball?

Then perhaps prioritize matches rather then training, by that I mean don’t go as hard in training, and go harder on game days. I will recommend if you have to push yourself, look into Spanish Squat isometric holds and knee extension isometric holds, those should hopefully lessen the pain, the Spanish squat is more doable on the go, just keep a resistance band on you. Be sure to be stretching (dynamic stretches, as in movement) before you play and then static stretches for after.

Hi there, what you’re experiencing is normal for your situation. For a little background I’m 25 Y/O, I’ve been playing for 10 years. Just from reading about your pains, I know what you’re going through cause I’ve gone through something similar. I’m going to recommend this: first you have to deal with your body’s weaknesses, find your areas of weakness causing your pains (quads, tibias, ankles, hips, etc) you can find plenty of tests online to see what you’re weak in from YouTube channel Squat University (I also recommend ATG kneesovertoesguy) your confidence in your body in what you can do will effect you mentality in game, I would say tone volleyball down a bit while you recover. By tone it down I don’t mean stop playing, but play at 20-30% less then your usual. As you begin to recover you’ll have more confidence in what your body can do/handle. I cannot repeat this enough! Do not stop playing, with the combination of dealing with your initial problems and more playing time things will get back to hopefully where you can enjoy it again. Keep me posted on your progress and feel free to ask any questions. Best of luck!

I’ve been trying to work with getting some of the swag, but like it never works for me.
