In the preferred configuration, the thickness of the outsole (1) is 5 millimeters. However, an additional 10 millimeter thick heel cup is placed on the heel section from the inside. Soft side lower part of the shoe The upper (2), which is the upper (2), is made ready for use after being cut and sewn together according to the stamps from the leather material that provides the combination of the outsole (1 ) and the front upper and side surface (4) of the shoe. In the internal structure of the shoe; The last made of Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA), which is a material used as both outsole and intermediate sole, includes an extremely lightweight suspension insole (3). Shown in Figure 3 a and 3b The suspension and orthopedic insole (3), which forms the inner part of the shoe and is one of the most important points of this design, has a height ranging from 10 millimeters to 18 millimeters, which is called orthopedic insoles that fill the arch section, that is, the middle cavity of the athlete's foot. Heel section of the insole It is raised by 20 millimeters. The sides of the shoe, which also cover the front and back, have side facings (4) made of three millimeters of scuba fabric. Scuba fabric is a type of synthetic fabric made of first quality yarns, breathable and stretchable in four directions. It is preferred because it is durable, flexible and body-hugging. The shoe provides support for movements in different directions such as side steps, side support belts (5) positioned on the side faces (4) for includes.

The hook and loop fastener (12) with a fringe hook is sewn to the upper part, preferably on the outer side surface (4) of the shoe. As seen in Figure 2b In use, the adjustable belt (7) can be pulled to the desired tightness by pulling the small hook and loop (11 ), The fringe is glued onto the hook and loop (12).

As a result of three years of controlled studies carried out by the inventors, it has been proven that the inventive wrestling shoe designed and worn on the subject group prevents flatfoot formation. In addition, in the same study, it was also proved that the existing wrestling shoes proven to cause flatfoot formation.
