I am a powerlifter and saw this shoe being used by one of my gym buddies so thought I would try it. Excellent fit, light and great grip on mats. Everything I need for a big deadlift. Not recommended for walking or running as will wear out fast and no arch support - typical for wrestling shoes.
Very practical for my purposes.

I wear this shoe for Kung Fu and it does very well. Not a strong heel support shoe, but nonetheless perfect for kicking, falling, and running on the mats. Very comfortable but be careful. My size is really a men's 10 1/4 EE. The 10 1/2 is a bit tight in the evening. Feet swell at night. Still I really like this shoe and have received many compliments on it's appearance in black. It was delivered free in 5 days.

Its a great shoe, great fit, great grip on the map, toe room, comfy. All in all a good shoe, I just wish they had a better variety of colors because my school color is purple and they dont carry purple.

There have been a spate of articles about how Nike and Runner's World have basically been in bed together promoting ridiculously over-priced footwear and trainers have been serially ruining runners' strides and footfalls in a world where South Americans and ancient Greeks cover and covered far greater distances in sandals. Well, this is light, airy and comfortable. I lift in it, then hit the treadmill. Nice support, perfect for the man comfortable in his own feet. I wrestled in high school and missed what felt like a slipper with grab for the gym floor. Terrific shoe. Ignore your price-conscious buddies who buy into paying three hundred bucks for some thick ankle-aching clap-trap.

I train a lot with squats and deadlifts. The ASICS Matflex is the best foot gear that I've found for those lifts -- much safer and more efficient than heeled weightlifting shoes and a lot better than running shoes.

The Matflex has excellent traction and a natural feel for warm-ups, yoga and stretching. Barefoot might be slightly better for those parts of my routine, but my gym gets twitchy about bare feet.

So, if you're doing squats or deadlifts, the Matflex is a good, inexpensive option.

I ordered a size larger than I normally wear and that turned out to be the right size for lifting.

This is a very good shoe. It features a velcroe shoelace hider that comes in handy during a match.

My son needed new wrestling shoes in a hurry. I was able to log in to Amazon, find a quality pair of shoes at a reasonable price, and received them in time for his next match. Another great shopping experience at Amazon!

These shoes are perfect for the gym and provide a comfortable fit. A must have for anyone serious about the gym!

Happy with my purchase the shoe fits well. I love the little pocket for the laces. I use the for Jiu-jitsu, this is the first time I have used shoes for Jiu-jitsu. I just always went barefoot. I find the grip to be almost as good as my barefoot and the extra protection it adds for shooting doubles is superb. I am a little worried that the seams are starting to separate but we will see in time. As usual delivery was on time and without issue.

My son stating that they are very comfortable!! Good prize is the most important thing!!! The last and they can even be wear as regular shoes if wanted to.
