In this review of the Kid's Matflex 7 wrestling shoes, the bottom line is simple: these are a practical, well-made youth wrestling shoe best for young athletes who need reliable traction and cushioning without a high price. The Matflex 7 shows its strengths in durability and comfort, with a breathable construction and an E.V.A sockliner that provides noticeable underfoot cushioning. Buyers should note a fit caveat: this style runs small for some customers, so many prefer to size up a half size for the best match.
Key Features
- Breathable mesh underlays: Mesh panels improve ventilation to help keep feet cooler during long practice sessions and matches.
- Supportive overlays: Overlays add structure and stability to assist with quick directional changes and mat maneuvers.
- E.V.A sockliner: The foam sockliner delivers added cushioning and comfort for repeated impact and extended wear.
- Solution dye sockliner: Manufacturing reduces water use by about 33% and lowers carbon emissions by about 45%, which helps reduce the shoe's environmental footprint.
