If you ask another parent, you will get one answer. If you ask a couple coaches, chances are again you will get a couple different answers.
How we address this question in the warehouse pick up section and when we get asked this question on the phone or online is - they should fit the way you want them to fit. So with that said, we have some wrestlers who like their shoes to fit so tight that blood hardly flows to their feet.
Obviously this is an extreme. One issue you run into with this philosophy, you may blow out your shoes because you bought them too small. The other extreme is to buy them too big. We see this with some customers that want to get a full year or two out of their wrestling shoes. On the big size, we suggest a max of two fingers in the toe. Generally, only do this for a wrestler who has started to hit puberty and you know is going to go up in size relatively quickly.
Somewhere in between is what we recommend. We feel this makes sense for wrestlers that like a tighter than usual fit and are done growing - so think high school Seniors and college wrestlers. Normally, how we size in the warehouse pickup section is to allow one thumbs width in the toe on your bigger foot. Almost always, your wrestlers two feet will not be the same size. So work with your wrestlers bigger foot.
Typically, your state bylaws will require you to wear wrestling shoes when wrestling in competition. Otherwise, plan on buying a pair of wrestling shoes.
The next thing to figure out is if it has a lace guard mechanism, some shoes have them some do not. This one is not that big of a deal - you can always tape your wrestling shoes. The next thing to look for is the bottom. Again most shoes will work for most wrestlers. While very true and certainly an essential part of your future wrestler attire, headgear is not the only thing you need to worry about. Shoes are one of the most important things for a wrestler as they can make or break a match, giving you an advantage or an insufferable feeling throughout the fight.
Also, any sport as intensive as wrestling will require more than just a comfortable pair of shoes, a pair which can help you avoid injuries and remain nimble.
Since they are so important, choosing the right pair can be a tough decision. We put together this article to let you know exactly how one should feel so you can make the best call when buying one for yourself. Since they are made for sports, wrestling shoes have to give you the required flexibility and traction. They are also light and support both your ankles and your foot arch. Another thing to remember is that the soles of these shoes are fragile and you will get no cushion-like feel because of this.
In most cases, wrestling shoes will likely run smaller than a regular pair of good old sneakers, so never forget this when you go shopping. Always add a size or a half size before you get angry that your new wrestling footwear is too small for you. Since the more expensive styles come with materials and perks that cater to the more advanced wrestler, a beginner can start with the cost-effective pair with no problem.
If you really get into the sport and start to sharpen your skills, then you can look at a more expensive pair to further improve your wrestling. First of all, of course, check if the shoe fits correctly on your foot. After that, try to analyze the durability.
Look for reviews online, maybe ask the store clerk if they have any experience with it, anything that could help you understand how much time that pair is going to be good to use. Another important thing to check is the grip of the shoe on a mat. You are a wrestler , right? Step on a mat and make sure you are not slipping or even falling down with those new fancy shoes. Last but not least, check the flexibility. It should be flexible enough that it allows you to perform your movements without feeling restrained whatsoever.
Personal preference is a big factor here, but in general you want to choose a pair that is a little more snug than a typical athletic shoe. The different shoe manufacturers have different guidelines for how to choose a wrestling shoe as compared to a typical tennis or athletic sneakers as follows:.
This ensures more flexibility and mobility on the mat, while still providing protection for your ankles, toes, and toenails. Not all styles are available in youth. Somewhat contrary to the general sizing guide, we usually recommend sizing up slightly when shopping for kids wrestling shoes simply because their feet grow so quickly and you want them to be able to fit in the shoes for more than a month!
If you have a wider foot, Nike wrestling shoes in general tend to have a wider footbed than the other manufacturers, so starting with a pair of Freeks or Inflicts is probably your best bet. In short, yes. A good pair of athletic socks will provide an additional layer of cushion for your foot and help to stabilize the fit inside your shoes. And it probably goes without saying, but wearing socks will significantly reduce the stink factor that can be an issue with any wrestling gear. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your wrestling shoes:.
