Boots Meaning in Wrestling

Boots are when a wrestler puts both legs inside their opponent’s legs from behind. This is done while riding on top. It allows strong control of the hips. You can stretch your opponent flat on the mat. Boots make it harder for them to stand up.

Good balance is necessary to avoid losing position. For example, a wrestler inserts both legs while riding. He stretches the opponent out flat. The bottom wrestler cannot build a base. Boots increase control and pressure.
