FAQs
Can I use the Asics Matflex 7 for weightlifting?
While the flat sole provides some stability, these are specialized wrestling shoes and do not offer the rigid support found in dedicated Olympic weightlifting footwear.
Are these shoes suitable for boxing?
Many athletes use wrestling shoes for boxing due to their lightweight, high-traction properties, though they lack specific features like ankle protection tailored for boxing pivot patterns.
How should I clean my shoes?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth for surface grime. Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes.
Are these true to size?
Asics wrestling shoes generally fit true to size, but since fit can be subjective, it is recommended to wear the same type of socks you use for training when trying them on.
Are the insoles removable?
The EVA sockliner is designed to be part of the comfort system; it is generally not intended to be removed or replaced with aftermarket orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping on the mat
Ensure the outsoles are free of dust and debris; wipe the rubber soles with a slightly damp cloth before stepping onto the mat.
Laces coming undone during practice
Use a double knot or consider tucking the excess lace ends under the bridge of the laces to prevent them from catching on the opponent's gear.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity for your Matflex 7 shoes, avoid wearing them on abrasive surfaces outside of the wrestling mat. Always ensure the laces are secure but not overtightened to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise. After training, remove the shoes immediately to let them air dry; avoid using heat sources like hair dryers, which can degrade the adhesive and materials. To clean, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth for surface stains, then let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
