ASICS Men's Split Second 7 Wrestling Shoe Reviews
More Picture
I ordered these shoes for a Krav Maga class at UCLA, which requires wrestling shoes on the mats with no exceptions. They are light, and snug. Though perhaps a bit too snug. Even standing a modest 5'7" with relatively small feet (8.5 for running shoes, and 9 for my usual walking shoes), I found these shoes to be a little narrow, and perhaps a bit too tight. I ordered a size 8.5, the same size I have for my Nike running shoes, considering that I wanted them to be snug. However, the shoe is tight across the ball of my foot(not so uncomfortably tight that I couldn't wrestle my feet into them, but I could see how they might become unbearable after an hour of Krav Maga). For those looking into some good wrestling shoes, i've heard only good things about Asics (mostly about their running shoes, though). They are indeed comfortable, have good traction, and are extremely light on your feet (albeit at the cost of being tight). My advice for those who have much wider feet - look elsewhere. My advice for those who are looking to buy these shoes, go a half size or even a full size larger than your street shoes.
ASICS Men's Split Second 7 Wrestling Shoe Feature
- Split sole is a two-piece sole that allows the forefoot and heel to work more independently
- Integrated lace cover complies with regulations
Wrestlers demand flexibility, light weight, and superb fit. You'll find it here, but with the added advantage of a split sole, which allows heel and forefoot to work more independently. Also, note the integrated lace cover and rad color schemes.
PASICS' standard split-sole wrestling shoe is ideal for wrestlers of all levels. The two-piece sole allows your forefoot and heel to work more independently and offers better foot flexibility. Verstion 7 is lighter weight than its predecessor. Open mesh upper provides excellent comfort and breathability./pbr /

Way too small - J. LAMBERTO-EGAN - Emeryville, CA United States
Agreed, these shoes run way too narrow and too short. I already wear a different pair of Asics wrestling shoes size 11, which fit fine, so I ordered these, but I had to return them. Not even close to the same fit as my other wrestling shoes.
Really Good - K. DeBoer -
Great item. They fit perfectly and really hug the front of the foot without any discomfort. The fit like a glove and allow for effortless movement as I pivot, twist and turn during my boxing workout.
