Got Leverage? Your Wrestling Shoes Are the Key to the Pin.

Wrestling season is right around the corner and the staff here at Everysportforless.com is passionate about providing you with the best wrestling shoes on the market. Having a good pair of wrestling shoes is essential since most grapplers know that there isn’t much gear you’ll need besides a singlet, headgear, and some shoes.

Wrestling is a sport of leverage. I have been wrestling since I was in middle school and the first lesson I learned that anyone can takedown anybody with enough leverage. I watched teammates who weighed only 120 pounds rag doll other teammates who outweighed them by 100 pounds. The reason these scrawnier, lighter wrestlers were able to dominate our heavier teammates was simply because of leverage.

Now I could make an argument that better leverage could be achieved with better wrestling shoes. The sole technology with most wrestling shoes these days involves manufacturers trying to enhance the grip on the bottom of the shoe. Having better grip will help you defensively by increasing your chances of stuffing a double leg takedown or by enhancing your ability to maintain a solid sprawl while someone goes for a deep single leg takedown. Improved grip will also benefit you on offense by being able to drive forward harder as you shoot for a takedown or by helping you turn the corner better when chain-wrestling an opponent.

Headgear is meant to protect you while wrestling but it doesn’t serve any purpose in making you better. A singlet is meant to represent your team and doesn’t serve any purpose at all in making you better. A good pair of wrestling shoes can make all the difference and Everysportforless has some amazing wrestling shoe deals, plus all our wrestling shoes are just $3 Flat Rate Shipping. We wrestlers are lucky, we don't have to spend a bucketload on Equipment like Pads, Sticks, Skates, and Bats like those other sports, so be sure to get a great pair of shoes and get some leverage for less.
