Dave Schultz “The Classic”

We thought it would be fun to show some of the wrestling shoes that we’ll be seeing this season out on the mats. Although shoes don’t really make the wrestler, it really does help to have nice shoes that give great support and comfort throughout a long season. Whether you like Nike, Asics or adidas they all make great shoes that make wrestlers look good but also help them kick some butt! You can purchase shoes here at Eastbay.
