Otomix Men's Stingray Escape Bodybuilding Weightlifting MMA & Wrestling Shoes

I can't attest to durability at this point because they are new to me. However as a sneakerhead, I can spot and appreciate a well made shoe!You can smell the quality of the material out the box and it has a nice thick stitch of reinforcement on the side where boxer shoes get worn.Also the sock lining and collar in the back of the shoe has a firm support & cushioned feel. The toe box felt wider than Ascics or Ringsides and seems like an overall high-quality construction.So far I'm loving the look and the comfort.

Extremely comfortable, very light weight, and the nonslip soles make this a great training shoe. The high top version provides that ankle support I need.

Headline is literal. I bought them for dancing in them, exclusively, and they are super for such. I know it's a sports shoe, intended for the gym and the ring, but, hey, the rigors that dancing puts on shoes is no joke and these more than hold up for such. They fit like socks and were strong as boots, so they offered me superior comfort and support. So, they not only look cool AF on the dance floor, they support you putting it down as hard as the music moves you. No regrets.

Love these shoes, they are absolutely the best shoes to wear any time of the day really. They’re great in heavy squat days but honestly I wear them everywhere. Good material, sturdy shoes and they look very nice.

This is the third pair that I have purchased. The first was probably 15 or more years ago. They lasted 14 years by only using them in the gym. I am a martial artist and gym rat so I like the concept of the shoe's design.When I got my second pair about 6 months ago, within one day the entire fabric lining the sole insert peeled off! Duh, OK. So I added in running inserts which I had lying around, and that did the trick even though I should have returned them. Since then no problems esp. since I use these shoes kicking a very big, heavy bag.That's why I decided to get another pair so that I don't destroy my second pair in record time with all the kicking.Well, the third pair, purple color and nice looking, had a malfunction in the first week. The shoestring eyelet, the large plastic piece about half-way up the shoe snapped like a winter branch...while I was lacing the shoe up for Pete's sake!Now, I should return them but it's just more time and expense to do it. So I'm content to keep them since the snapped eyelet doesn't affect performance-which for me is kicking and moving around the gym-no big deal. But it's total BS that they should both have quality issues right out of the box.I at first suspected that it may have been a knockoff but the receipt came from Otomix so not likely. More likely is the s***ty manufacturing process in China where these shoes are made. Once again. Can anyone say Doc Martin?While these are way better than the Chinese version of Doc Martin I am still suspect. Folks, that's two big(ish) quality issues, within the first week on both new pairs of shoes. It bugs me because these shoes are not cheap, and based on my first pair, may not be as durable. They seem to have a quality control issue on some of the lesser parts of the shoe. In other words the sole and uppers seem the same as the older ones. Perhaps even a bit thicker and better? But if it turns out that they cannot endure punishment, what kind of martial arts shoe would they be?Only time will tell if there are deeper, structural issues that will cause these two new pairs to fall apart. But so far only the two issues reported here.They fit as expected, same as before. In fact, the size 8 might be just a bit roomier which is fine with me.

I only wear them in the gym. They feel great, and are comfortable.

wow These are the best shoes I ever have had very NICE fit great feel great super light and tough

For some reason this squat shoes are very comfortable while doing leg workout, i usually feel pain on my right knee every time used a different shoes while doing legs but this one is the best
