Wrestling/Martial Arts shoes?

[K Williams]

Are there any wrestling or martial arts shoes that fit people with wide feet(EE or EEE width)?

Ask your local sports shop or shoe store, i'm sure that they can order them. They won't likely have them in stock though. Considering the feet i have seen on some wrestlers in the upper weights i don't think they are going to be that hard to accquire.

What particular brand/ model are you eyeing? I was looking for an Adidas Prajna a while back. It's for women's yoga shoes but I heard it was super comfortable once you find your size.

Asics, Adidas, or Nike...whatever comes in my size!

The Adidas Pretereo in size 15(I wear a 14 wide) fit perfectly.

K Williams, have you checked the www.wrestlingone.com website? They have a wide variety of wrestling shoes, and may have some in the sizes you need.

I always thought that martial-arts footwear was what you were wearing when you were attacked...

Seriously, sports-specific shoes can be very nice; I had a dynamite pair of Nike mountain bike shoes that were like armor for your feet.

But I think all martial artists should spend at least some time practicing in shoes that they will be wearing most often. If your normal job outfit is a suit-tie, and Italian oxfords, you might try a little bagwork in same.

My normal footwear are usually Timberland work boots or Corcoran Jump boots.
