AsicsMens Cael V6.0, Black/Blue/Lime

The best brand of boxing shoes. The size fits perfectly. I wear 44 European, 10.5 UK, 11.5 USA shoes of this brand. The shoes look very bright, breathe well. On a narrow foot.

My 15 year old tried a variety of different wrestling shoes and liked these the best. He has a wider tie box and felt these to be the most comfortable for him.

Great gym shoes… bought them to replace my JBs that worn after about 6 years of use. Was ready for a hellish break in period since I have wide feet (breaking in the JBs sucked). Put them on and loosened the laces, BAM! Fit great, feet feel great wearing them. Look great. They breathe well with the mesh vents. Very happy… if you have wide feet (or just feet in general) and want a stylish, zero drop shoe for day to day lifting, these are fantastic.

I am a big fan of Asics. I wrestled in highschool between 1989 and 1991 and had a pair of Asics Tigers (not to be confused with the Asics retro running shoe called the Onitsuka Tiger). Like most guys, I own about a dozen pairs of shoes, from dress shoes, to sandals. Every pair I own is a 9.5. So, that's my size. So, I began working out, sorta like CrossFit, but really more functional training, including Romanian Dead Lifts, etc. and I wanted a shoe with no heel wedge and no cushion at all under my heel, and I thought wrestling shoes would be ideal (lots of people agree). So, I first purchased a pair of Asics Split Second 9 in a 9.5, and I swear, I couldn't even get my feet into the damned things. I should have read the reviews first, because lots of people say they run a bit small. But, these were more than a "bit" small, they fit like they were a size 8. I then tried a pair of Asics JB Elites, this time in a size 10. And guess what...they fit like an 11, WAY too big. Perplexed, I did some more reading and decided to give the Cael V6.0 a try. These fit! a little narrow, but that's to be expected; they're wrestling shoes, after all. Of the three models, these are BY FAR my favorite and I appreciate the balance between light-weight materials and solid, durable construction. The JB Elites were crap, way too light and they cut too much material away, leaving you with not much more than a stiff sock around your foot. The Split Seconds were fine, as far as construction goes, but were a bit too flashy for my taste. This pair is clean, classic and simple, similar to my first pair of wrestling shoes from back in the day, only upgraded/updated. Choose this one, and get it a half-size bigger than what you normally wear in other shoes and you will be very happy!

Good shoes
