Attention Getter - This is a very comfortable shoe. At first I was concerned with the thinness of the sole of the shoe (be careful not to step in water), but overall the shoe works and looks great!!!

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.

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.

Great Shoe - First time wearing wrestling shoes and must say this one is very comfortable. Using it for MMA training. The size ran small for me so I ordered a size up. Zappos shipped fast and allowed me to return the one that did not fit promptly.

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.

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.

I use these shoes for weightlifting and cardio: excellent. Very comfortable. Sizes run very small. Everyone at the gym loves them and I get compliments when I wear them.

Great wrestling shoe - This is my second pair. I really like them. They feel true to size and need very little break-in time. Very good grip on the mat and comfortable enough to wear all day at long tournaments.

Great weight lifting shoe - These sneakers are great for lifting weights in a gym. Sure footing, light, low profile. These are important factors when heavy weights are involved. That and wrestling would be the only purpose.

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.

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.

Wrestling shoe - This shoe is 5 stars in every way, but I would like to see more shoes made for people with wide feet. Although they fit they are difficult to get on because of the width.

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!!!

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!

Durable shoe for wrestling - It took about 3 practices to break in, but now they are as good as gold. After the 3rd practice, I even wore them without socks and had no problems at all. Highly recommend them.
