FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Matcontrol 3 is designed for wrestling and mat-based sports and lacks the cushioning and heel support required for distance running.
Can I use these on a basketball court?
These are designed specifically for mat surfaces; using them on high-friction surfaces like hardwood courts may cause premature wear to the sole.
How do I determine the right size?
The Matcontrol 3 follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the same size you typically wear in athletic footwear.
Are they unisex?
Yes, these are designed as unisex trainers suitable for any adult athlete.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving them in a hot car, as extreme heat can affect the shoe's structural integrity.
Can the insoles be replaced?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert personal orthotics if necessary for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during pivots
Ensure the laces are tightened securely through the midfoot to prevent the foot from sliding inside the shoe.
Accumulation of dust on the sole reducing grip
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove debris and restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the laces through the eyelets evenly to avoid pressure points across the midfoot. These shoes are compatible with standard wrestling socks, which offer the right thickness to maintain a secure lock. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from abrasive concrete or asphalt to preserve the integrity of the specialized grip patterns on the sole. Clean them by wiping the exterior with a damp cloth after use to remove dust and mat debris. Always air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated space away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
