Ankle braces with tread on the bottom. Not worth $40 IMO but they look cool.

Would that tread be legal in the cage?

The advances in fight gear are interesting. The Sprawl Grip Flex shorts come to mind. Will fight gear technology begin to play a more significant role in the outcome of matches?

I was seriously about to order these for GFC 23. Think they'd be legal ?

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow"

The worry with wrestling shoes in alot of promotions is that the laces may assist in cutting up someone's face if they get kicked. Since these dont have laces I dont see why they would be illegal. Ill ask Bobby the next time I talk to him or Ill bring it up in the GNP forums.

Monson actually wore something very similar to these when he fought Slyvia, so I would think they are legal

Beware: What you are about to see is very graphic, so if there are small children in the room make sure that they don't disturb you.

looks nice, but personally i would the get socks kind that covers the whole foot. it looks dorky, but there is even better grip and you protect you feet from the nasty sweat and blood of others.

I could definitely see those being an advantage. Kinda like somebody with good knees wearing knee braces or good ankles wearing ankle braces, provides grip in many ground attacks... this just helps on the feet too.

The world ends when you're dead. Until then, there's more punishment to come. So stand it like a man and try to give some back.
