Girls Wrestling Shoes

According to sports experts, the golden era of women’s wrestling was back in the 80s and early 90s. A handful of women-only leagues were created and spectators just couldn’t take their eyes off the TV when matches were on. Back in those days, wrestling women knew how to do a great show.

Whenever Medusa Miceli entered the ring in one of her shiny suits, sensuality and admiration was floating all around her. Magnificent Mimi had spectators gasping for breath, as her in-ring performances further underscored her awesomeness. Women wrestlers like Sherri Martel, Wendy Richter, Heidi Lee Morgan and Rockin’ Robin dressed as women and fought like women and that’s precisely how they are recognized as the founders of women wrestling.

Women’s Wrestling Shoes

Since more and more women are taking on wrestling these days, mainstream manufacturers offer a wide range of girls wrestling shoes. If you are shopping for your first pair, remember to buy one that is a half to a full size larger than your regular gym shoe size. Keep in mind that new wrestling shoes will stretch – usually during your very first training session – so choose a size that is somewhat snug.

Pink Wrestling Shoes

Manufacturers offer girls wresting shoes in a wide range of colors. Standard black, blue or red seem to be on top of women’s preferences, but fancier colors like pink, purple or teal are increasingly popular.

Pink wrestling shoes aren’t that easy to find, but you can get a pair of standard colored ones and dye them with a fabric marker. A very light color – maybe even white – is easier to spray paint than black.

If you don’t want to paint the shoes yourself – or are afraid you might ruin them – you can have a third party dye them for you. There are many companies that specialize in customizing any item of clothing or sports equipment, from baseball bats to t-shirts, for fairly affordable prices. The Internet is your best friend, use Google to find such a company in your area.

Price ranges
Asics, Nike, Reebok and Infinity are among the top women’s wrestling shoe manufacturers. Depending on the model and the retailer, prices range from $40 to $200 or more. Amazon is one of the major retailers that carry large stocks of sports gear, so they should be the first place to check.

Beginners are recommended to choose a moderately priced pair of wrestling shoes. It’s pointless to spend large amounts of money on a top-notch, professional pair if you practice once a week and have yet to take part in a tournament. Alternatively, you may consider buying a used pair from a teammate in your club. A quality pair of wrestling shoes for women lasts for a year or two, depending on how much you wear them.
