How to Choose Wrestling Socks

Step-by-step Instructions

Step 1

Nike high cut socks are the style today. Almost every elite wrestler prefers to wear Nike. Black, white, or grey are the preferred colors.

Sometimes all you need is one pair of socks. If you find yourself getting callouses, try doubling up and wearing two pairs to prevent friction on your skin. Also, doubling up is a style that some wrestlers prefer.
