FIVING Wrestling Shoes for Men and Women - Lightweight Support

In this review the FIVING Wrestling Shoes are evaluated for athletes who need a lightweight, supportive shoe for wrestling, boxing, weightlifting and general combat-sports training. The single biggest reason to consider these shoes is the combination of a high cut for ankle protection and a breathable mesh upper that keeps feet cool during long sessions. They aim to be a versatile gym shoe that balances stability for lifts and traction for mat work without adding bulk or weight.

Key Features

• High cut ankle: The tall collar offers visible ankle support that helps reduce lateral roll during quick direction changes and grappling exchanges.
• Cushioning technology: Built-in cushioning reduces impact on feet and joints, making repeated jumping and takedown drills less jarring on knees and heels.
• Lightweight mesh upper: Breathable mesh keeps the foot ventilated, so the shoe stays comfortable during extended training and reduces sweat buildup.
• Non slip rubber outsole: A durable rubber sole provides a secure foothold on mats and gym floors to help prevent accidental slips.
• Adjustable fit: Traditional laces allow a customizable, strong fit so the shoe can be tightened for stability or loosened for comfort.
• After-sale support: Customer service is available for fit questions or post-purchase concerns, giving peace of mind after ordering.

Who It's For

These shoes are best for wrestlers, boxers and combat-sports athletes who need a lightweight shoe with extra ankle support and reliable traction for practice and competition. They also suit athletes who do mixed gym work such as weightlifting and bodybuilding and want a single shoe that performs across activities.

Those who should look elsewhere include athletes seeking heavy-duty running cushioning or thick-soled cross trainers for long-distance running, since these are focused on court and mat stability rather than road cushioning or maximal shock absorption.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High cut design gives dependable ankle protection during lateral movement and grappling.
• Mesh construction keeps the foot breathable for long sessions in hot gyms.
• Non slip rubber outsole offers a stable grip for lifts and mat work.
• Adjustable lace system produces a secure, strong fit for varied activities.

Cons

• Not designed as a running or trail shoe, so cushioning and sole profile may feel minimal for road running.
• High cut may feel restrictive to athletes used to low-profile trainers until broken in.
