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.

Honestly, they work OK. That being said, I'd go with a higher grade brand like elite.force or goldenball.

I have never had this problem and I have whacked the balls against one another as well as myself countless times LOL. I've had mine for quite some time now, use them regularly, and have had no problems whatsoever. I would try to contact the seller if I were having those issues.

I think it would well for basketball. It seems to stay in place well when moving around. It's not very thick (only about a 1/4"), so it provide pretty minimal protection. Which is fine for what I use them for. You would probably want something with a hard shell and maybe more padding for something like rollerblading on cement. I'm not sure how much protection you are looking for, but I think they would probably work well for basketball and even volleyball.

I don't think they are suitable for water sports. I haven't taken mine in water yet. A reviewer said that some of the coloration came off the sandal onto her foot when in water. So I stay away from water. Mine are blue.

I live in Vegas and it's hot and dry. I don't know how they'd be in humid weather, but mine lasted about 6 months and definitely got crunchy after each game. Switched to a 50 dollar Nike pair and never going back.

Tried. Didn't work too well. The balls don't soak well and they don't hold water like you think they should. I'm still looking for another option. Let me know if you find something!

In my experience, they do not play at all. My first pair lasted under a day, the replacements faired a little better once I managed to pair them (an every use event), but the second set lasted maybe three months. They have been tossed in the trash after trying to use them a second summer. But yes, once I did manage to get them to work, they sounded good. We paid a lot of money for a lot of headache, and less than 20 hours of total play, if you choose to purchase these, I wouldn't expect too much out of them.

Don't know because we used them for indoor volleyball. We have a short distance from the parking lot to the gym even if it is raining.

Volleyball or other "normal" pads are only somewhat effective for soccer. I wear a pair of 661 mountain biking knee pads. Very thick so lots of protection but the problem is that they move on the initial impact be it diving for a save or falling off my bike. I'm picking up a pair of these to wear UNDER my pads so that the big pad will take the fall and when it slips or moves this "base layer pad" will hopefully stay securely in place and absorb any additional impacts or sliding. The only question is since these were designed for basketball and a smooth court will the material holdup to the "grass" I play on which is very rough and unforgiving. We'll see...

I use them in conditions where the wind blows sand at 30+ mph, work fine there. Still "new" can't answer on durability

Yes, I have the gel ones, as well as slide on wraps. If you wear these without wraps it will tear your knuckles up.

I use mine to walk along the beach when I collect seashells. etc. so I would imagine you could wear them for volleyball.

Yes, I have been using them for a long time. I have numerous pairs for game play. I use it for Skype also.

I'm going to say yes for two reasons. First, I saw my granddaughter using hers to practice serving. Second,SKLZ sells one for volleyball and it looks pretty much the same.

Yes. I am a beginner and they were recommended. For quality,balance AND price in case I lose interest. I like them. I have smal hands so they feel good.
