Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Split Elite is designed for adult wrestlers who require a high-performance shoe that balances structural support with natural foot movement. Its primary benefit is the combination of a flexible upper and specialized outsole traction, making it ideal for both intense practice sessions and competitive matches; however, users should note that the specialized fit is optimized specifically for wrestling-specific movements on mat surfaces.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
No, these are specialized wrestling shoes designed for use on wrestling mats and do not have the cushioning or sole durability required for pavement or street use.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Wrestling shoes should fit snugly like a sock. Refer to the UK sizing guide and ensure your toes are close to the front without curling.
What is the purpose of the shoelace garage?
It serves to hide the laces and prevent them from becoming loose, which is both a safety feature and a way to avoid match interruptions.
Can I clean these in a washing machine?
It is strongly advised against. Hand-wiping with a damp cloth is the best method to preserve the integrity of the materials.
Do these provide arch support?
The Split Elite is designed for a low-profile, responsive feel. While it offers structure, it is not a corrective orthotic shoe.
Are these shoes unisex?
These are listed with men's sizing; women should typically size down approximately 1.5 to 2 sizes from their standard women's size.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untucked during use
Ensure that the entire knot and excess lace length are fully pushed into the tongue garage pocket before starting your match.
Stiffness when new
The shoe features a high-performance construction that may require a few sessions of 'wear-in' time to fully adapt to the contours of your feet.
Accumulation of dust on the sole
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to restore grip levels before stepping onto the mat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Split Elite shoes, ensure they are laced snugly but not overtightened, as the material is designed to offer a supportive fit that mimics a second skin. Once laced, tuck the knots firmly into the tongue garage to ensure they stay secure. For care, avoid machine washing these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and adhesive bonds. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after training to remove mat grime. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent the materials from cracking or warping.
