OtomixStingray Escape Men's Grey Canvas Leather Rubber Sole Bodybuilding and Wrestling Shoes 9

Otomix wasn't available on amazon earlier, good that they got it. My review would be that its fits well, looks good and superior quality

So i purchased these and what i got looks like a used fake pair. Ill let the pics speak for themselves you tell me if these look like whats shown in the picture. Im returning asap..The picture looked like nice suede right, and the gray is the same tone in the picture? But these shoes look dirty and worn. The tongue is different, these ugly shoes are definitely not what i intended. Waste of time and money.

This review is from the experience and perspective of an amateur boxer.The shoes' vibrant color and design will quite likely turn a few heads. These are a vast improvement over regular running shoes. They're very comfortable and have good ankle support. The sole grips the ground properly and offers good balance while allowing you to pivot and step properly.However, it is clear that these shoes are mainly for bodybuilding; they lack the durability for intense workouts and foot movement. The insole shifts towards your big toe due to a slippery fabric film; I ended up peeling off this film from the insole and ended up lessening the issue by about 80%, but I still have to adjust the insole position before every workout.After 2 months and a week, the sole has been falling off of the front foot side shoe which can cause issues if the rubber gets stuck on the floor while you're moving. The durability seems lacking for the fighting side of this shoe.If you do boxing or MMA purely for fitness and your workouts aren't too intensive (cardio based classes), you might have more success with these shoes than I did. I have also done weightlifting with heavy weight low rep plans and these are perfect (5/5 stars) for those.If you are doing serious boxing or wrestling training, look elsewhere for better quality and durability unless you don't mind spending the 110$ every few months.

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 usually dont write reviews but i wanted to take the time to reassure anyone who is hesitant about the fit..I was very pleased that these fit true to size to a normal nike shoe... i wear 11 in nike, jordan and adidas, but previous to these i wore asics wrestling shoes in the gym and needed to go a full size bigger (12).. so since these are similar i was worried.. but these shoes fit normal like every other pair of casual nike or adidas shoes i have.. order your normal size with confidence.. hope i could help someone on the fence about these...and besides the size i love the feel.. very flat but not too thin... great feel

I wear a size 15. Its hard enough to find shoes that fit, but its a bigger problem shopping online because sometimes its hit or miss. In this case its a miss. The shoes look good, they don't seem to be cheaply made and have a weight to them that makes it feel in your hand like they are at least decently made with some modicum of quality. That being said, for a 15, they were way big. I had room in front of the toe plenty of space above the foot, and room on the side. That extra room really took away from any lateral support so stepping to the side in either direction the shoe would grip the may but my foot would keep on going. I pulled the laces as taut as possible but they still looked like a scrunched down sock on my foot. I thought maybe a suede/leather shoe would offer more rigidity than your typical nylon shoes but that just wasn't the case. I wouldn't say I wont by an Otomix shoe again, but definitely not one that is made of the materials this one is, and only after I can be sure their shoe fits true to size.
