The first wrestling shoe built for women. With a narrower heel, wider forefoot, and lightweight control, it’s engineered for elite speed, traction, and support. Co-developed with Sarah Hildebrandt. Made to move. Built to win.


PRODUCT DESIGN
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
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.

"Very good quality shoes , comfortable and light weight. I am happy with my purchase"
"I’ve wrestled in them for a season and they lasted all season long. They’re comfy and look cool."
"My feet are just slightly different sizes and also I have arthritis so they tend to swell after hard practice or a tournament. I bought my original 8. 5 size and they were way too small for comfort, so I went up a half size to 9. I haven't had a chance to test out if I need to go to a 9. 5 yet (with all my support sleeves and gear etc. ) but Rudis made the return/exchange so incredibly fast and easy I was majorly impressed. I know that if I need to size up again it will be super simple to do so. Love the look and feel, seem good quality and my teammates like this brand, so I can't wait to start using these!"
"Great shoes - fit true to size - comfortable."
"Omg these shoes are what I use for freestyle, the color hasn’t faded, the design is on par with the rest but is just so colorful, and the words on the bottom and vibrant enough that you can read them mid match!"
"My daughter loved that now she can express her girl power with Sarah's shoes."
"They fit perfectly"
"very comfortable"
"Comfort and style are the biggest things I look for in my wrestling shoes. This pair has it all and I’m extremely happy with my purchase . I highly recommend this style of Rudis shoe to the wrestler that puts in long hours on the mat ."
