Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Split Elite is a professional-grade wrestling shoe designed for adult athletes who prioritize a balance of agility and structural support during high-intensity matches. Its primary strength lies in its highly flexible upper and outsole construction, allowing for natural foot movement without compromising stability on the mat. While the shoe offers exceptional performance for both training and competition, users should be aware that the performance-fit design is specialized specifically for wrestling and may not be suitable for general gym or cross-training activities.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for lifting weights?
While the flat, stable sole may seem appealing for lifting, these shoes are specifically optimized for wrestling traction and agility and lack the lateral support required for heavy powerlifting.
How should I clean my ASICS Split Elite shoes?
Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting them in a washing machine as this can damage the adhesives and structural integrity of the shoe.
Can I use these shoes on gym floors?
It is recommended to only use these on wrestling mats. The outsole is constructed with soft rubber compounds that will wear down quickly on abrasive surfaces like hardwood or concrete.
What is the purpose of the shoelace garage?
The shoelace garage is a functional pocket on the tongue that hides the lace knots, preventing them from coming loose and ensuring compliance with competition safety rules.
Do these shoes run true to size?
ASICS wrestling shoes typically have a performance-oriented, snug fit. It is recommended to follow the standard sizing guide, but those preferring extra room may consider a half-size adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied during a match
Ensure that the laces are fully inserted into the integrated shoelace garage after they are tied.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole affecting traction
Wipe the rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove mat residue and restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Split Elite shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the shoe is snugly fitted to the midfoot to capitalize on the support structures. Wrestling shoes are designed for a tighter, performance-focused fit compared to standard sneakers.
- Lacing: Always use the built-in shoelace garage after tightening your laces. This not only keeps the laces from dragging but also prevents them from being caught or stepped on.
- Care: After use, remove the shoes from your gym bag immediately to allow moisture to evaporate. Air-dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber and synthetic materials.
- Surface Compatibility: These shoes are strictly designed for use on wrestling mats. Avoid wearing them on concrete, asphalt, or hardwood floors to prevent premature wear of the specialized outsole.
