Wrestling Shoes

About

Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for a freestyle tournament or honing your craft in the gym, the right footwear is your most essential piece of kit. We offer a premium range of wrestling shoes designed to provide the grip, flexibility, and ankle support required to outmanoeuvre any opponent. Finding the best shoes for wrestling can be the difference between a successful takedown and a costly slip. That’s why we stock world-class brands like Asics and Nike , ensuring that every pair in our collection meets the rigorous demands of modern combat sports. From entry-level boots for beginners to professional-grade models for elite athletes, we are Australia’s premier destination to buy wrestling shoes . Read the full guide Why Wrestling Shoes Matter Unlike regular trainers, wrestling shoes are built with a high-top ankle collar for support, a thin flexible sole for mat feel, and a grippy rubber outsole that bites into the canvas. They're lighter than boxing boots and more supportive than barefoot — the sweet spot for grappling. What We Stock ASICS — The most trusted name in wrestling. The Matflex and Snapdown series are competition-proven and built to last. adidas — Lightweight, breathable, and designed for speed. The HVC and Combat Speed lines are favourites among serious wrestlers. Nike — The Inflict and Takedown models offer elite-level grip with a sock-like fit. How to Choose Fit: Wrestling shoes should be snug — your toes should nearly touch the end. They'll break in after a few sessions. Go half a size up from your regular shoe if you're between sizes. Sole type: Split-sole gives you more flexibility and mat feel. Full-sole offers more stability for heavier wrestlers. Ankle height: High-top for maximum support during scrambles. Low-top if you prioritise speed and mobility. Read our full training gear guide → Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $69. Shop the full range below.
