Hi all -

Having broken a toe 6 weeks ago, someone advised me to wear sambo shoes to cut down the risk of further injury. Anyone know where I can pick up a pair?

Thanks,

A

Hi Ace -

Actually, I don't study sambo; I study bjj and judo in Philadelphia. But I was told that sambo shoes are legal in bjj tournements, and in regular practice would leave me less vulnerable to ankle locks than wrestling shoes.

I've met BJJ guys & Sambo Guy's
That do wear the Wrestling Shoes.


I check with your instructor
But they are good for Grappling.

Good luck with the training.
