"I love them. Very close to the old Nike Footsweeps I was issued in the mid 90’s at The Ohio Stste University. These shoes allow you to slide more on the sides, toes and heals without the rubber sole catching the mat. When you need traction the front sole and/or heal sole can be engaged with the mat."
"My son loved his first pair so much that we got the Black pair once they were released. He loves the way they feel and the speed he gets."
"Light weight, comfortable but haven’t wrestled in them yet to say what the quality is."
"Amazing! Light, balanced and secure! I coach and need to be able to move quickly to keep up with my athletes. These shoes give me just what I need!"
"These shows are great. My son has wide feet and it’s hard to find shoes that fit. The black and white design is perfect for teen boys. They provide stability and movement"
"Our son love the look and comfortable in his feet. Ne will used it during the next wrestling season!"
"This the best most comfy shoe I’ve ever wrestled in, super quality worth every penny!!"
"Super comfortable worth ever penny!!"
"Very nice looking wrestling shoes, run a little small, for a 12 year old 5 ft 82 lbs kid, consider buying a size up"
"I'm 53 years old and been wrestling since I was 12 and coaching for the last 20+ years. I have for the most part only used 1 brand of wrestling shoe (off and on with others through-out my time, but only 1 brand for the last 20). And these are without a doubt the most comfortable wrestling shoes I've ever owned. They fit PERFECT and are comfortable to wear for 2-3 sessions in a day. They're really well built and have great traction on the mat. These shoes are awesome."
