How To Choose The Right Wrestling Shoes
A Quick History Lesson About The Sport of Wrestling
Wrestling is the world's oldest sport. Evidence of wrestling can
be traced all the way back to ancient Egyptian times. The first
Olympic wrestling match was recorded in 708 BC. The earliest
form of wrestling proved to be a violent contest between two
combatants. But much of the brutality was eliminated as the
Romans introduced a less violent version of the sport. Wrestling
remained popular throughout the Middle Ages in countries such as
England, France, and Japan.
Wrestling continued to increase in popularity as it found its
way to America by way of the early colonists. The sport was also
quite popular among Native Americans. The "catch-as-catch-can"
style finally developed into the modern form of collegiate
wrestling today.
The first national wrestling tournament took place in New York
City in 1988. The first modern day Olympic Wrestling Match was
held in 1904 in Saint Louis, Missouri. The first NCAA Wrestling
Championships were held in 1912 in Ames, Iowa.
Some Important Considerations When Purchasing Wrestling Shoes
Finding The Correct Size
The first thing you should do is measure your foot to determine
your normal shoe size. A typical pair of wrestling shoes will
generally run one half to one full size larger than your normal
shoes. Keep in mind that your new wrestling shoes will probably
stretch somewhat after a few practices. Remember, the fit should
be fairly snug.
Brand Selection
When shopping for wrestling shoes, you can rely on "battle
tested brands" such as Asics, Nike, Adidas, Infinity, and Brute.
You can purchase these popular brand name shoes online or at
typical "brick and mortar" stores. A good quality-wrestling shoe
will normally last a year or two. It all depends on how much you
wrestle. Keep in mind that comfort is
extremely important. Look
for a shoe that features a good rubber sole and high ankle
support. The higher quality wrestling shoes are made out of a
lightweight material that breathes well. It is recommended that
you try on several different brands to find the one best suited
for you. Don't hesitate to ask the salesperson for help. If you
are still not sure which shoe to purchase, try to get a
recommendation from your coach or your teammates.
Color and Style
Many manufacturers offer a wide selection of colors to choose
from. Select a color that agrees with you and goes well with
your other equipment. Choose either a split sole or a non-split
sole shoe. Split sole shoes tend to be a little more comfortable
and provide better traction. Price
Wrestling shoes generally range in price from $30.00 up to
$125.00. It is recommended that you purchase a more affordable
style if you are new to the sport. If you are operating on a
really tight budget, you may want to consider purchasing a used
pair. You might even try to strike a deal on a used pair of
shoes with one of your teammates. The Internet is also a good
place to locate and purchase used wrestling equipment.
Some Key Points To Remember...
Your wrestling shoes must have a nice snug fit to them. Make
sure that you have selected a pair, which features a strong sole
and high ankle support.
