So you're thinking of stepping onto the wrestling mat? Hold on, grappler-in-training, because before you throw down, you need to gear up! Wrestling is a blast - a total body workout that pits you against your opponent in a battle of skill and grit. But unlike thumb wrestling on the couch, you'll need some proper wrestling gear and wrestling shoes to avoid ending up smelling like a locker room and looking like a fashion disaster.
Now, you might be tempted to grab some used wrestling gear and used wrestling shoes to save some cash, but hold your horses! While it sounds like a budget-friendly option, it can end up costing you more in the long run.
Why Buying Used Wrestling Gear And Used Wrestling Shoes Might Not Be Your Best Move:
Funky Fresh or Funky Foul? Used wrestling gear and used wrestling shoes can be a germ factory. Sweat, skin, and bacteria love to hang out in fabric, leaving you with a less-than-pleasant odor and potentially even some nasty skin issues.
Fits Like a Glove, or Fits Like a Potato Sack? Used wrestling gear and used wrestling shoes can be stretched out and misshaped, leaving you wrestling your clothes instead of your opponent.
Pricey Pre-Loved? Don't be fooled! Often, used wrestling gear and used wrestling shoes are still overpriced for what they are - worn out and potentially damaged.
Investing in New Wrestling Gear And New Wrestling Shoes: Worth the Splurge
Sure, new wrestling gear and new wrestling shoes might cost a bit more upfront, but they’re an investment in your safety, comfort, and performance. Here's what you'll need to get started:
New Wrestling Shoes:
These are your grappling boots! They provide grip, support your ankles, and keep you on your feet during those intense takedowns. Don't underestimate their importance!

FFB Interlude "Panda" Wrestling Shoes
