Wrestling Shoes

Common Features and Similarities

Invariably, wrestling shoes have a high-top design – but lower than a boxing shoe – to provide vital ankle support. To achieve flexibility similar to a bare foot, these shoes typically have thin, non-cushioned soles with some sort of traction pattern to ensure a firm grip on the mat. In order for lightweight wrestling shoes to provide reliable ankle support, they have to fit snugly, and for some brands, sizing can run smaller than regular sneakers. You may need to add a half or full size to your usual shoe size. Eastbay helps you determine the right size for you by including a “Fit Alert” in our product descriptions. And, our fit guarantee with free return shipping is there to reassure you as you make your buying decision.

Options and Considerations

Shoe upper materials can range from light, flexible mesh to firmer leather. Mesh provides breathability to help prevent sweaty feet. Leather is more durable and more supportive for weaker ankles. Underfoot, your options are split sole or full sole. Split soles tend to be the choice of high-level competitors due to their light weight and exceptional flexibility. Full soles are more durable and can provide extra arch support for those who need it. Some models include lace covers, eliminating the need for taping in competition. Our selection includes models from adidas, ASICS, and Nike in a variety of looks and configurations. Shop with confidence, knowing Eastbay is dedicated to providing the wrestling shoe you need.
