This shoe is A Sicshoe - This is a can't miss winner of a shoe. It is every bit as capable in performance as the AdiStar I own and use as well. And frankly, I would have to say this shoe is a little more comfortable overall - especially when you are wearing a shoe for those all day 10 or 12 hour tournaments - though it is not quite as well ventilated as the AdiStar but still very good. Mat grip is almost too good at times - but great to have when you really do need it - which for me is more often then I'd want given the trouble I get myself into on the mat sometimes. You can really explode into your shots if speed is your game - and you quickly learn how to adjust for the grip during a sprawl when you need a little "slide" out of your shoe. Give yourself a couple of practice days at least before a match so you can get comfortable with the response, the grip and how to adjust for the slide factor and you will be pleased with the improvement and confidence of your specific skills and strengths. The shoe is fairly close to a true fit to a half size smaller then marked so you may need to bump up a half size if you are one who likes a little breathing room in their shoe. There are really no cons to this shoe - plenty of color choices except for all or mostly white. They would likely sell even more of this terrific shoe if it were offered in white. Give it a shot - you'll be glad you did.

Awesome Shoe - These shoes are the best you can get for the price. This shoe has all of the same features the higher priced shoe has and looks better than the more expensive models of the same brand. I would suggest ordering a 1/2 size larger than you normally would as these seem to run a little small. Keep in mind they will stretch just a bit once they are fully broke-in. I ordered these shoes at 7:30 pm one day and they arrived at noon the next day! Great service! Keep up the good work Zappos! With this type of service and free shipping, I always check here before I buy anywhere else!

great shoe

Rating:*****
they are by far the best wrestling shoes ive purchased.. very flexible and shapes to your foot really nice.incredibly lightweight and allows you to have a closer feel to teh mat then some other shoes.it only took a few days to break them in..
NOTE..most wrestling shoes arent supposes to last over a year..if your on your toes and driving almost any shoe will blow through or rip..dont listen to anyone saying they suck because they rip after a year..these shoes are great for any level and are durable for a long time..most serious wrestlers buy shoes every year or two anyways..

Good Shoe... Too many people have it

Rating:****
Good shoe, just not for me. I had them for about a year and now they're too small for me. Poor arch support. These are light and have good traction IF DRY. When wet, these bad boys tend to slide. They are very prone to tearing. A side note: Possibly one of the greatest looking wrestling shoes out there. Everyone has it though. Coaches and half of the team, but i guess they picked it not only for the looks.

Asics Wrestling Shoe - This shoe is great. I use it specifically for martial arts training because they don't make martial arts shoes in my size. It’s a very light shoe, good grip in the places you need it, great ankle support, over all a great shoe. The only negative thing would be that there are two lace loops that aren't that strong and broke on my first pair but I think that was a manufacturer’s defect.

Solid shoe - I bought these shoes for my sophomore son to wrestle in. They seem to be solidly constructed and after half the season are still in good shape. As usual we bought one size up from regular tennis shoes. Even with that they seemed a bit narrow to begin with but soon stretched out a bit or he got used to the fit.

Cel v3.0 - My son really likes this shoe. He says it fits just right for a narrow or medium width foot. He likes his wrestling shoes tight so it fits true to size for him but others may find the fit 1/2 size small. The tread has an overly tacky feel that wears off after one day and then they are good to go.

Anne Klein Anetta -- I really wanted these to work because they look like the perfect little black skimmer. I'm often in-between sizes so ordered them in both an 8 and 8 1/2. Unfortunately neither fit well. They felt loose and unfitted. Plus there's lots of toe cleavage all the way across the foot which was distracting. Too bad. Nicely made shoe.

Just for fun - I am by no means a wrestler (and I don't even play one on TV). I bought these just for 'fun and style.' The first day I wore them I received six compliments. "Nice shoes." "Cool." Now that's kickin' etc. Not for the snow and rain. Not for marathons. Just for looking good.

Awesome!! Unbelievable. The toe ripped out of my son's old wrestling shoes at 6pm. I ordered these shoes at 8:30pm and the new shoes showed up on my front step at 1:30pm the next day... just in time for the duel meet that night. Great Quality and Service for the price!!!

I bought these for my son last year at end of season so he didn't use them much and he hasn't used them much this wrestling season; and the bottom of one shoe in the middle just tore away.

Only lasted a year!!!

Rating:***
I bought these shoes last year... i think they didn't last as long because i practiced everyday as well as competed in the same pair... but half the team has this shoe and has out lasted mine. when i was doing windsprints at practice i noticed that something was dragging i looked at my shoe and the entire bottom side is about to fall off. nothing a little tape can fix but now i slide too much on my shots and stand ups.
overall a great shoe but it lacks durability
