The Cael V6.0 Wrestling Shoe

The Cael V6.0 takes all your favorite ASICS Wrestling features and blends them together in one high-performance package. The Ecsaine upper features an open air mesh construction to enhance breathability without forgoing any of its durability features. The flexible sole design features rear and forefoot serradial traction pods that were inspired by Mr. Onitsuka’s original suction cup outsole for premier traction and optimal flexibility.

Benefits of the Cael V6.0

  • Air mesh quarter panel for breathability.
  • Anti-odor properties for a drier/cooler environment.
  • Glove-like fit with superior comfort.

Tech: What's Inside the Cael V6.0?

Ecsaine and Open Mesh Upper:

The upper consists of soft and form-fitting materials that comfortably keeps your foot snug and on top of the platform, while remaining extremely durable.

ComforDry Sockliner:

The ComforDry Sockliner provides maximum cushioning performance, while creating a much cooler, drier and healthier environment.

NC Rubber Outsole:

This rubber outsole compound contains more natural rubber content than traditional solid leather, giving you even greater traction on a variety of mat surfaces.

ASICS: History and Heritage

After the second world war, ASICS founder Kihachiro Onitsuka observed children wandering the streets barefoot, and decided to help the youth of his country. By promoting the values of Sport, and providing them with high quality athletic shoes to help them perform their best, he believed he could help the children of Japan build a better future with the philosophy of Anima Sana In Corpore Sano: “A Sound Mind in a Sound Body.” In 1949, Onitsuka Co. was born, and soon after, the first ever footwear was released from the fledgling brand: a basketball shoe called the “Tiger.” In the years that followed, Onitsuka Co. (re-named “ASICS” in 1977) designed a myriad of scientifically sound, sport-specific shoes for athletes. Mr. Onitsuka’s emphasis on the spirit of Sport and a focus on the needs of the athlete continue today with ASICS, Onitsuka Tiger, And ASICS Tiger shoes, clothing, and accessories. Our dedication to never stop bettering our best reflects our desire to help you, the athlete, to always Better Your Best.

Product Description

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Great gym shoes… bought them to replace my JBs that worn after about 6 years of use. Was ready for a hellish break in period since I have wide feet (breaking in the JBs sucked). Put them on and loosened the laces, BAM! Fit great, feet feel great wearing them. Look great. They breathe well with the mesh vents. Very happy… if you have wide feet (or just feet in general) and want a stylish, zero drop shoe for day to day lifting, these are fantastic.

This shoe is FANTASTIC! First of all, ill say that I didn't purchase this shoe for wrestling, but rather for working out at the gym. Ive had them now for over two werks. I needed something thats flat/zero drop, good opened toe box, ankle support, allows for some flexibility through penetration shot drills, other body weight movements. It has a great design, its breathable, and asics usually last quite a long time. Ive always used asic wrestling shoes for hitting the bag, deadlifts, squats, jumping, penetration shots, etc. If you need a slightly more opened to box then this is for you. I dont have sasquach feet, but they are not regular skinny feet that can fit into any shoe.

I am a big fan of Asics. I wrestled in highschool between 1989 and 1991 and had a pair of Asics Tigers (not to be confused with the Asics retro running shoe called the Onitsuka Tiger). Like most guys, I own about a dozen pairs of shoes, from dress shoes, to sandals. Every pair I own is a 9.5. So, that's my size. So, I began working out, sorta like CrossFit, but really more functional training, including Romanian Dead Lifts, etc. and I wanted a shoe with no heel wedge and no cushion at all under my heel, and I thought wrestling shoes would be ideal (lots of people agree). So, I first purchased a pair of Asics Split Second 9 in a 9.5, and I swear, I couldn't even get my feet into the damned things. I should have read the reviews first, because lots of people say they run a bit small. But, these were more than a "bit" small, they fit like they were a size 8. I then tried a pair of Asics JB Elites, this time in a size 10. And guess what...they fit like an 11, WAY too big. Perplexed, I did some more reading and decided to give the Cael V6.0 a try. These fit! a little narrow, but that's to be expected; they're wrestling shoes, after all. Of the three models, these are BY FAR my favorite and I appreciate the balance between light-weight materials and solid, durable construction. The JB Elites were crap, way too light and they cut too much material away, leaving you with not much more than a stiff sock around your foot. The Split Seconds were fine, as far as construction goes, but were a bit too flashy for my taste. This pair is clean, classic and simple, similar to my first pair of wrestling shoes from back in the day, only upgraded/updated. Choose this one, and get it a half-size bigger than what you normally wear in other shoes and you will be very happy!

Zu Qualität kann ich nichts Negatives mitteilen, jedoch falsche Größe 1 1/2 nr. Zu klein. Das geht gar nicht. Das machen die Händler aus USA und England oft, da sie Wissen das es mit reklamieren schwieriger wird. Den Händler empfehle ich nicht. Deshalb nur 1 Stern. Ich bewerte nicht die Qualität dieser Schuhe sondern den händler.
