the other reviews are what helped me decide to buy these.

a few tips to the females buying these shoes (i am a female btw):

-i typically wear a size 9.5 in womens and 7.5 in converse/chuck taylor (mens size)

-after shopping/trying these on in person, i found that my size in these shoes was size 9.

if i suggest anything before buying, at least try on the BRAND of wrestling shoe in person, and if it's not available in your size, then buy online, but be sure to do some size samples in person if this is your first pair.

i was surprised at the size difference in these shoes, yet again, this is my first pair of wrestling shoes.

as for the shoes tho, they are great! i got them for a krav maga fighting class and they do excellent in comfort, use, quality, etc!  :D

excellent shoe for the money, excellent amazon service as usual, everything is great...no complaints :D
