Fits tight, takes about a 2 hours workout to start breaking in. Very snug. Sole grips like crazy.

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2021

Size: 9.5Color: Black/SilverVerified Purchase

The shoes at first feels too small. It just needs to break in, it will stretch out as you wear it. Then it fits snug and is not loose fitting anywhere. Very snug fit, nothing sloppy about how well it fits your foot. I worked out hard for two to three hours and in about two hours it felt very conformed to my feet. I have used this brand for Martial Arts for almost twenty years. Perfect for Kung-Fu as well. Over the years I think the rubber on the sole has changed. This one is like a super grip. A bit more than I like. It even grips like crazy on a concrete drive way and too much on carpet. If you want the grip this shoe has it. For grip, I'd rate it A+++++! For pivots and spinning kicks, take care not to damage your knee, the grip won't allow normal movement in this department. They may still make other soles on their shoes, because my other ones, the sole is made of less sticky type rubber grip, perfect for just the right grip that allows all types of kicks. For wrestling they worked well too. The grip on this one makes me worry of not being able to get your foot loose and when pressured something is going to give in your feet, ankles or knees. I have seen feet get caught on the wrestling mat and it caused the person to get broken bones. For size, I just have got the same size as all my other ones in this brand, which is a 9 1/2 US size. In my Converse wrestling shoes the size is always a 9 in US size and I have used them for over 30 years. So think of this possibility of getting a half size bigger in these ASICS wrestling shoes. Well that's my honest review as for the use of this shoe for Martial arts. I have 56 years experience, completed Nationally and Internationally and taught hand to hand combat to special forces units in The United States Marine Corps.

Nice shoes, but narrow and I had to return them for a different brand with a wider fit. Order a larger size than you think you need.

Important!! These are women sizes. This is not a men shoe. I’m a size 7 on my street shoes and my running shoes ASICS Kayano I wear a size 8. These shoes after ordering them 3 times I finally settled on size 7 1/2. They are gorgeous shoes. They have a barefoot feel and more like wearing socks. They feel narrow at first but they stretch out.
At first I ordered my size in men sizes bc it specified that these shoes were for men but they were like 2 full size too small. Then I ordered a size 7 1/2 and a size 8 at the same time to compare. I picked the size 8 because at first the size 7 felt too narrow. I returned the 7 1/2 then a few days later realized that the 8 are a little too long but great in width. I reordered the 7 1/2 and returned the size 8. I had no issues with my returns or customer service. I loved them and super happy with my purse. Get yours a half size bigger than your street size and only for narrow and normal width feet. ❤️

You'll never go wrong with Asics for wrestling shoes. This is my second pair. One thing to note is the size fits small. Get one size bigger than your usual size. I usually order a US 8 but for this one I got a US 9 and it fits well. Thank you for shipping all the way to the Philippines!

My son got these for Christmas. He LOVED them. They fit well and are comfortable. He told me I shouldn't have spent so much money on them.... I didn't . They were very affordable and he THOUGHT they were expensive. Some of those wrestling shoes are crazy expensive and he thought these were one of those pair.

These shoes have been the best wrestling shoes I worned this season.

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2023

This purchase really bummed me out, I was excited to get these, definitely consider other reviews as well. The shoes looked great, they looked well constructed, but they're wayyyy to tight and snug. I bought them in my normal size, even other reviews said to size up because they have a narrow fit. I have narrow feet so I thought they'd be just fine. With out socks/ bare feet they fit snug, with socks they were so tight it was very uncomfortable I could feel them squeezing my feet and toes. If I had sized up maybe they would have fit better not super sure. 4 stars cuz they look nice and constructed well but very poor fit, definitely not for wide feet.

ORDER AT LEAST ONE SIZE UP!!! FOR SURE!!! Order one size LARGER than normal.

Reviewed in Canada on June 14, 2023

Verified Purchase

Product is excellent. Vendor was excellent. Shoes are grippy and excellent for kung fu and wrestling. ASICS are the best. HOWEVER: for sure, absolutely ORDER A SIZE LARGER THAN NORMAL. I am an 11.5 (maybe a 12). I had to get a size 13 for these to come close to fitting - couldn't even get my foot into a size 12. Save yourself the return hassle - ONE SIZE LARGER.. everyone clear?! ONE SIZE UP!

I have NO IDEA why ASICS does this. Their running shoes fit true to size. Wrestling shoes... one size too small.

Hay que pedirlo media talla más grande, los utilizo para entrenar, son ligeros, material bueno, hay un pequeño detalle, en una parte se ve como pegamento de uniones, unas reseñas más abajo alguien subió fotografías. Igual, si me compro otros
