What are the difference between wrestling and boxing shoes? I was thinking of purchasing these because Ringside has them on sale for $55 : . I know a lot of low level amateurs that wear wrestling shoes but I just want to know if there are any major differences.

Difference between boxing and wrestling shoes?

They are EXACTLY the same... Boxing websites just advertise them as Boxing shoes but they are all the same.

The difference is in the soles. Wrestling shoes are generally more flexible and have more grip. For general training purposes or conditioning I guess you could use wrestling shoes, but for sparring and actual boxing matches you need boxing shoes. You can get some inexpensive pairs online.

Wrestling shoes come with a legal disclaimer that the manufacturer can't be held responsible for another mans gooch being all up in your business
