Dan Gable Wrestling Shoes

Dan Gable is a popular model of wrestling shoes produced by the renowned manufacturer Asics. It is named after an American amateur wrestler who became famous in the 70ies for winning the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Munchen where he won every single match. Later on, he became the head coach at the University of Iowa and won fifteen NCAA team titles in only two years. He is one of the best known American wrestlers and this is why the Asics shoes carry its name.

Asics Dan Gable Ultimate Wrestling Shoes

This model of Dan Gable wrestling shoes is probably one of the most flexible ones ever designed by Asics. They come with a perfect grip for traction, a good stability for the ankles and are so light that you won’t feel you are wearing them after a very short while. All in all, they are well-round shoes with absolutely no downsides, so you can safely use them for training as well as wrestling tournaments.

They come in a wide range of sizes, from 6 M US to 13 M US, which makes them perfect for kids as well as grownups. They are priced at slightly below $100 – the lowest I could find was $84.95 on Amazon. You may be eligible for further discounts if you buy in larger quantities, such as for an entire team. Make sure you contact your chosen retailer and ask for a bulk rebate.

Dan Gable Classic Wrestling Shoes

If you are looking for a more traditional pair of wrestling shoes and aren’t into vivid colors like teal or yellow, the Dan Gable Classic model may be the right pick. They are a bit harder to find and somewhat more expensive – prices may rise up to $200 – but may be well worth the difference if you want to impose respect with a classy look on the ring. Colors range from black/black to purple/black with several aqua/white variations. Some models come with a classy blue or green stripe that fits the design nicely.

You are recommended to add a one half size to your regular gym shoe size and, if it doesn’t work, you can always get another pair.

Whether you are serious about your wrestling career or are only an amateur but want to get the best experience during your training, Dan Gable wrestling shoes are the perfect choice. Granted, success won’t come simply from wearing the best equipment, but it will help you do it better. So, what kind of shoes are you going to wear at your next training session?
