Well, I know they are Asics, and they are apparently wrestling shoes, but unfortunately I don't think they sell whatever version she is wearing :( After searching for a bit, this is the closest I found that is a lot like it but not exactly: https://www.amazon.com/ASICS-Mens-Matflex-Wrestling-Shoe/dp/B00AJNT8OM/ref=zg_bs_679305011_2?psc=1

Really depends on what martial art and if it's indoor or outdoor.

When i was doing an indoor bujinkan class i would use cloth tabi:

And i would use outdoor jikatabi for.... the outdoors

I am doing HEMA now, and using wrestling shoes. While they aren't as minimal as my bedrock's, they have proven great for the art.
Note: I'm not specifically recommending any of the above brands, just picked examples of the style i have. (Although my bedrocks are AMAZING to run in!)

I have not used those, but I use these wrestling shoes. I would recommend them, they are a tad cheaper than the ones you suggested and have a very grippy thin sole, so you get good drive even when pushing at angles (like with bench press). Also, they're super durable. I've had mine for over a year now and they are still in as good condition as they were when I bought them.

Good cross training shoes (training for strength, speed, skill) need ankle support and good grip decent flexibility and sturdy and not be too spongy or too archy cause it makes weight lifting especially legs difficult and or less productive. Also, being lightweight and breathable.

Boxing cross trainers are really good all around shoe if you are going to be doing a lot of different types of workouts in them i.e. the following 3
They r in order of top rated and most to least expensive.

If you are mostly going to stick to weightlifting and caliestenics work having a flat sole and lightweight shoe with moderate flexibility is a pretty mix to go for but i wouldnt recomend much in the way of cardio with the following, (probably not the best for long distance running for example) decent for jumprope or stair climbing though

Hightop Converse allstars or pf flyers

Or even Vans and some Asics
Like the half cabs

If you are going to do mostly a lot of hard impact running you should maybe go for tennis, basket ball, and cross country shoes due to the shock absorbent soles and slightly wider base of the shoes to distribute the shock a bit more evenly. The higher arches generally found in these types of shoes make some weight lifting less than desireable i.e. the squats and deadlifts for example due to forcing you to be in an awkward center of gravity like putting more of ur balance and weight onto the balls of your feet versus the heels which is good for running and sprinting and cycling and jumping (jumprope,tennis,basketball) but not for squats and weight lifting because you are supposed to load your weight on your heels for compound movements to have the appropriate load bearing distribution on your body and fully engage your core to prevent injury.

It all really depends on what you are doing.
If you are going to be rock climbing a lot get good rock climbing shoes. If you are going to hike a lot get good hiking boots. Most timerland boots are reliable and comfortable and designed for that. If you are going to train on grass a lot i would reccomend soccer cleats or turf shoes. Like the adidas mundiales or the nike predators.

I myself own a decent mix

For most all around training i use the adidas box hog 2.

For pure weightlifting or calisthenics i wear my converse.

For soccer and grass and turf training i wear my adidas mundials.

For hiking and bouldering i wear my timberland hiking boots.

For casual going out i wear doc martens usually.

For hospital work i wear some really cheap but super comfy sneakers with thick gel inserts cause you are standing around a lot and walking a lot. For 12 hours at a time. Before i worked in the hospital i was an emt and wore steel toe workboots geared toward firefighters and paramedics with gel inserts.

For everything else there's mastercard. Jk.

I was kidding, but this is it.

I wear the Split Second 8 myself. It's a split-sole shoe, which may take some getting used to, but they fit like a glove and are very versatile.

u/badgerX3mushroom · 1 pointr/powerlifting

It's Matflex 4, these ones: https://www.amazon.com/ASICS-Mens-Matflex-Wrestling-Shoe/dp/B00AJNT720?th=1&psc=1

The tag actually says US 7 or eur 38, i think boys sizing is in line with womens sizing. a MEN's 5 or 5.5 would be a women's 7 or 7.5 but I thihk boys sizing is different.
I wear a 7 in literally every shoe so I would say they would fit a women's 7 perfectly

u/BurningFinger · 1 pointr/amateur_boxing

Cheap wrestling shoes are pretty good starter footwear and can be found for around $30 to $50. I'm happy with these Asics I got for $30.

u/souponastick · 1 pointr/xxfitness

I bench in these, but anything would work.

Squat in high top Chuck Taylors. Getting these for my birthday in July and I'm so excited. I love loud and obnoxious lifting shoes.

Deadlift in wrestling shoes. Like I said...I just LOVE me some loud shoes :)

I tried using these for squats but I already have a tendency to fall forward and it really screwed me up. I also tried these but hated them personally. They just weren't comfortable. I know LOTS of people who lift in them though.

u/Johnapproved · 1 pointr/amateur_boxing

I used this shoe for many years, its a wrestling shoe; however many boxers use wrestling shoes for training and competition.
