ASICSMen's MATCONTROL 3 Wrestling Shoes

I have been stalking this product for weeks, but all the selections do not ship to the Philippines. I was extremely fortunate that for this particular color and this particular size, it allowed me to add to my cart, Im not sure if it was a glitch, because I tried to buy it again but I cant now. Anyway, for the product, I use this for training boxing. The shoes are extremely light, I could have sworn the box was empty when I got it. Pretty durable since I tend to abuse my gear but its holding up pretty well. Great traction, I can really connect with the floor while loading up my punches. This does run a bit tight so you are going to want to size up at least one size higher than your normal fit everyday shoes. The lining is tough but breathable at the same time, so my shoes don't smell like a dog's a hole after training. My only gripe would be why do you guys not ship to the Philippines! I would like to buy more but somehow, it was just a fluke that I was able to get this one from you guys.

My son has been using these for months now. He’s a rough wrestler and these have been holding up well! Better than his last Rudis pair, and HALF the price

Please read this review before buying...First off, they take 2 weeks to break in. I purchased these shoes in a size 12, but was very concerned by how tight they were in the beginning compared to their previous model, the Matcontrol 2. Fortunately they broke in and now they fit my feet. Additionally shoes like the split elite were considerably larger in a size 12 so make sure to go try the shoes before hand, that is pretty much my only criticism on the shoe.After 2 years of use I can say that these shoes have definitely grown on me, here is why:Tread Pattern-They have the same tread pattern as the Dan Gable Evo 3 and Asics Ex-eo models which are new gen shoes (non marking tread pattern) which is really grippy and easy to shoot in.Reliability-Other than the white paint coming off due to skimming the mat, these shoes are not falling apart soon, there is only a little stretch in the toe box but that is just from breaking in. (2 years of wear)Easy to clean-Because these shoes are so easy to clean due to their minimalism, I prefer using an old toothbrush or wipes, and when drying I just put it infront of a fan.Support-Of course all wrestling shoes are meant to be supportive, but when you tie it good they are not coming off and the runners lace adds much needed lockdown.

My son is a 1st year wrestler and we purchased a random pair of shoes that he picked out but the tore wore in just a few short weeks. I purchased these as a replacement because of the reviews and the fact that they match his uniform, the woman in me...lol. Well, I did well because he loves them and says he feels light on his feet and love how they feel on the mat. Not sure how durable they are just yet, but so far they are working out great!

I was going to return them because they fit a bit too snug around the toes. But now that I’ve broken them in, they’re my favorite shoes to use for boxing.

Good shoe ran a little snug. Will size up a half size next time.

Best wrestling shoes! Was impressed with the colors

My son joined a wrestling team for his highschool. He never wrestled before so we ordered these sneakers on a whim without much research. They survived the season fine. They did what they had to do. But after the season, we upgraded to Rufus brand. The gold standard. He said in comparison these sneakers had no support and no cushioning. So any conditioning that was done had little shock absorbency.
