Men's Cael V8.0 Wrestling Shoes

Normally I wear a size 10, many reviews said these shoes run small, so I ordered a 10.5 and they fit perfect. Only issue I have is that the shoes I received do not match the pictures in the product listing. Pictures showed a red/blue/white shoe, and the shoes I received have far less red in them and might be a totally different model all together, based on the tongue. I still like these shoes though so I’m going to keep them, just be aware when buying for yourself.

I've been using these shoes for boxing for over a year now and they've been awesome! I was using normal Nike running shoes for years before that, but definitely felt restricted in my lateral movement especially. These shoes have given me so much more freedom in my movement. They're super durable and super comfortable. Still not showing any really significant wear. I also have wide, flat feet, so these were a little tight the first two or three times I wore them, but they will stretch out and conform to your feet. After a few sessions, they're insanely comfortable. GET A SIZE LARGER! I usually wear a size 13, so that's what I ordered at first. But those were way too small. I sent them back and got the size 14, and those fit like a damn glove! I took pictures of them next to my size 13 Vans and my size 13 Nikes for reference. If you have big, wide, flat feet like me and you're looking for good boxing/wrestling shoes that will last, these are a solid choice and a hell of a deal.

The item description is for the Cael V8.0 wrestling shoes but the picture on Amazon is the Dan Gable EVO. I didn’t notice this at the time of ordering and was expecting the item pictured. The Gables are a significantly more expensive shoe. I was willing to let my son keep the Cael’s if they fit and he liked them, but they ran small even compared to the other ASICS shoes he had me from last year.

Someone walked off with my son's wrestling shoes at a home tournament when we were rolling up mats. I had 72 hours to get him a pair of new shoes and this place did it. Not only a great price for these high-end shoe's they made it to me in no time. There ASICS so not much to say there other than the best shoes out there! (Added) I was reading the other reviews and realized there were lots of comments about the size. We were replacing an ASICS shoe so we knew what to order. That being said ASICS traditionally runs a size smaller so order a size up!

Secord or third wrestling season for my son and the shoes are holding up solid. You get what you pay for, when he was younger we purchased the less expensive model and they came apart. Also are good for those with wide feet.

These will feel like a full size too small, but will stretch a half size after your first or second workout. Buy a half size larger than you wear. These are fantastic shoes and remind me of the Dan Gable Split Soles from the 80's. I'm old.....

Bought from my son. We have had to order all of his wrestling shoes and he is a size 10. This is a different styly but same brand wrestling shoe we get for him. Reviews I read recommended buying a size bigger since they run small. We stuck with the same size and it was 1/2 a size to big, possibly 1 full size. Very confusing but it was easy to return and get a half size down before his tournament.

With sons who go through shoe sizes like the daily newspaper, it is always great to find a shoe I can purchase a little big to last a full season. This wrestling shoe did just that. And at $80, the quality was just right.
