A dependable first wrestling shoe built for season-long work. Breathable mesh keeps air moving, durable suede reinforces high-wear areas, and wrapped full-length rubber gives you steady grip without losing the solid feel you need underfoot.
Courage 2.0
8.5 oz - Size 9
At 8.5 oz, Courage 2.0 balances weight and stability so you can move freely without giving up the solid feel you want when you plant and drive.
Breathable Upper Mesh
Breathable mesh keeps air moving while suede takes the abuse in the areas that work hardest. Built for the pair you reach for practice after practice, all season long.
Low-Profile Collar
A reinforced low-profile collar keeps your ankle supported when you drive through a finish, without getting in the way when the match takes you somewhere unexpected.
Full-Length Rubber
Wrapped full-length rubber flexes with your foot, so you have grip whether you're flat in your stance or deep in a scramble.
The original Courage earned the trust of wrestlers by delivering dependable performance needed, whether it’s your first match or a championship final. Rather than simply bringing the Courage back, we challenged every material, every ounce, and every design decision to create a lighter, more breathable, more durable wrestling shoe. The result is Courage 2.0, a refined evolution created because every wrestler deserves equipment built to help them perform at their best.
No feature exists by accident. Every component was intentionally designed to reduce weight, improve comfort, increase durability, and maximize traction. Courage 2.0 was engineered to help wrestlers move faster, stay comfortable longer, and compete with more confidence.

"The Courage 2. 0s are one of the most comfortable wrestling shoes I've worn so far (I’ve worn a lot lol)! They're lightweight and have a great grip. They've performed really well in practice I haven’t had the chance to compete in them but I’m really excited too! I'd definitely recommend this shoe to anyone who’s looking for a comfortable and also really cute shoe!"
"I have been wrestling in the new Courage 2. 0 shoes for almost a month and I like them a lot. I wrestled 6 matches in them the first two days I got them with no break in and they were great from the start. Since then they have been my go to practice shoe and they have been great. My shoes get pretty beat up, but from what I can tell, these are going to last. They are light and I feel fast in them. All of the Rudis shoes I have worn have been great, and the Courage 2. 0 are right up there with the rest in terms of quality and comfort. I recommend them. "
"I’ve been in wrestling for about three years and I absolutely love Rudis wrestling shoes. I recently bought crush wave in a size 9 women if it’s your first time buying wrestling shoes, I do recommend going up a size since they are snug fit. I wish I would’ve known back then when I bought my first pair. Please look at the size chart. I absolutely love these shoes . I felt a bunch of support in my ankle and of course, like any other shoe I had to break it in before practice, but it felt extremely comfortable would recommend."
"When I was coming up through wrestling, shoes at this price point were usually limited to the same basic, not-so-cute Adidas or ASICS options. I’m so happy RUDIS came out with stylish, fun shoes for people getting into the sport! They’re a great option for new wrestlers, but honestly, for anyone. They look great, feel great, and are an awesome wrestling shoe overall."
"I love how lightweight these shoes feel without sacrificing any support. They’re comfortable throughout my long practices, and give a great grip and stability. I also love the color way and design of the shoe, it gives such a clean look. Definitely one of my favorites from Rudis."
"They felt like they were already broken in, they were comfortable and the type of shoe you’d be ready to wrestle in from the moment you put them on!!"
"My son loves them and says they are comfortable!"
"My daughter loves these! True to size."
"Light and comfortable. I would purchase again."
"My son is so even more excited for his wrestling season to start."
