KEY FEATURES
STRUCTURE
WOMEN'S FIT
Anatomically specific to address the unique shape and contours of a women’s foot; Narrower in the heel and wider in the forefoot.
UNDERFOOT
POWERDRIVE™
Built for intensity of women’s wrestling, this platform works to reduce stretching while offering support to the bottom surface of the foot. This is important because it helps to support more flexible feet with greater joint laxity to remove excessive movement.
WEIGHT
7.2 oz
Lightweight and responsive, built to match the speed and intensity of women’s wrestling.
UPPER
BREATHABLE MESH
A full base layer of engineered mesh wraps the foot for a lightweight, breathable feel, with larger openings throughout the midfoot and arch to help cool the hottest parts of the foot.
OUTSOLE
RUBBER WRAPPED
Provides seamless movement from the bottom to the top insuring a feel for the mat and a transition of support throughout the entire shoe.
COLLAR
MID-HEIGHT
Every detail of the heel was crafted to fit a woman’s foot. Secure, supportive, and seamless, the outsole curves naturally into the upper for a locked-in feel, while the rolled heel tab design adds comfort and additional ankle support.
BEHIND THE DESIGN
PRODUCT DESIGN
WHAT's DIFFERENT?
While the core performance features such as grip, flexibility, and ankle support remain consistent across both, the primary distinctions lie in sizing, fit, and foot shape.
Women’s wrestling shoes are generally built on a last that accommodates their unique biomechanics and foot shape, with features like a narrower heel. In contrast, men’s wrestling shoes typically have a wider overall fit and are less precisely tailored to anatomical differences.
PRODUCT DESIGN
Powered by Athletes
Another standout feature is the PowerDrive™, engineered to maximize energy return and responsiveness. It helps athletes maintain performance through powerful transitions and stances, enabling sharper direction changes, stronger shots, and improved mat control. It also reduces the forces that can lead to turf toe and other injuries.
Our product development team has collaborated closely with female athletes and coaches to design wrestling shoes that are purpose-built. We've created a fit that truly aligns with the unique anatomical and performance needs of women on the mat.
