How to Customize Wrestling Shoes

From the ring of a professional wrestling match to the mat of an amateur freestyle match, the shoes can help distinguish a wrestler from his opponent, as well as leave a lasting memory with the audience. Of course, professional wrestlers have more options than high school wrestlers due to league rules. But a few simple style adjustments can make a big difference for all wrestlers.

    Customizing Pro Wrestling Boots

    • 5

      Consider what your wrestler persona is and use that to create your shoes. If you are supposed to be a fireman, make your shoes look like firefighter boots. If you are a flashy wrestler, you could add rhinestones. Match your shoes to your persona.

      Add your name to your shoes in paint or by sewing. If you have a personal logo, add that too.

      Draw or sketch a design and have it professionally applied to your boots. There are different companies who can take a design you come up with and put it on your shoes.
