Where do you buy wrestling shoes?

[plainplow]

So, having a site about wrestling shoes, I've been curious about where wrestlers buy their shoes.

My kindergartner just finished up his first season of park and rec youth wrestling last night. There was a high school wrestler there, so I took the opportunity to ask him where he bought his shoes.

He said online -- Eastbay in particular. He also said that others sometimes buy from Dick's Sporting Goods. Those were the two sites he recommended.

I asked if he ever bought shoes from a real brick and mortar store. He replied in the negative.

So, the question(s) I'd love to have answered by as many wrestling folks as possible is/are...

• Where do you (or your child or your team, etc.) buy wrestling shoes?
• Is everyone buying online these days?
• If so, which site do you think is the best price and selection?

I created a survey with 3 questions to get an idea of where people are buying these shoes. It's anonymous and real easy. And I'd be happy to share the results with folks on this forum if anyone were interested.

Here's the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CFYCKD5

Bought many pairs from Ebay
Have bought them at Dicks, when they were needed fast.

Online is the way to go, when so few shoe stores carry any wrestling shoes at all, especially in rural areas.

Since I already know which brand, model, and the size etc I am looking for, I search first on eBay.  I also like Suplay.

I'm always tempted to by from Suplay's grab bag.

World wide wrestling supply online or Eastbay online

I have almost always found eastbay to be over priced compared to alot of the others.
