 Bad choice if you're serious about wrestling October 11, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I, along with at least 3 others on my wrestling team bought this exact shoe in a variety of sized, First I am going to state the only 2 things the shoe got right, the laces tuck into the tounge well, nothing special but not a problem and the sole gives alot of traction, but every one of us had problems with the shoe falling apart, the sole gets separated from the shoe in every case and this really cost me in the match going to state, the sole failed and I went down, none of us did more than train and compete in them, they saw 100% of their time on the mat, never used to run in or anything weird like that and they still collapsed, and I dont know about the other guys I trained with but when I would sweat the entire top half of the shoe would turn solid and inflexable if I allowed it to dry, if you wrestle you're going to sweat, and a lot plus it gave No ankle support, also, I ref little kid's wrestling and I saw the same problems we had in the junior sized too, basically asics made a shoe that they could sell a lot of that was sub par, and for the record it is the only asics product I have been dissapointed with over the years but this one should be avoided, it didn't even finish out 1 year for any of us, I would recomend one of the split second models or the asics intensity if you can find it, I haven't heard anything bad about either of those
