Their new line of boxing shoes, made with low-top, and really cool aggressive styling. Supposed to be super light. Our newly developed rubber outsole, crafted into a unique pattern, is designed to improve your grip on the canvas for optimal control of your movements. The RSX-Genesis brings together all the elements needed for a boxing boot that is both comfortable and high-performing. Boxing Head Guards – When it comes to investing in high-quality Boxing Equipment, a Head Guard should be one of your biggest priorities to make sure you don’t suffer from any head injuries after sparring. You may not need it every training session, but you should always have it in your training bag just in case. Our top of the range Head Guards offer great protection for your temple, cheekbones and jaw. Nike, Reebok, and Adidas will always be the most popular (Nike still way more popular than the other two). If those two brands don’t suit your taste, try going for Rival. If you want to spend lots of money for custom gear, try Grant. Asics and Rival can also be seen sometimes. I think Rival might be more popular depending where you go. To be honest, some of them don’t look bad. The only problem is that the others look really cheap. It’s just the flattering photography lighting that keeps the bad ones from looking like total plastic junk. I’ve learned how not to fall for fancy images over the years. You’ll just have to see these in person to get what I mean. What boxing shoes are most popular in gyms?

Some fighters will prefer a shoe that’s really grippy and they don’t mind if it’s a little harder to pivot. Some fighters will prefer a shoe that’s smoother and pivots easily even if it has a little less grip. The perfect balance for me is when the shoe grips enough to provide stability during power transfer and pivots easily enough while still keeping you connected to the ground. I actually hate when the shoes too grippy because that can make me trip. Last but not least, is the density of your workout floor. If your gym floor is already stiff and hard or your boxing ring uses stiffer-padding, you may prefer flatter shoes to feel the ground more. If your ring canvas is soft and/or your gym floor is soft, you may prefer more cushioned shoes to elevate you above the floor and prevent you from sinking in. Well, that’s starting to change. Just like recent trends in boxing glove designs, more and more fighters are turning away from overly-designed mass-produced gear and starting to favor more boutique brands that offer all-leather construction and can be custom-made with different designs, colors, and embroidery. That’s what the pros use after all!

Boxing Skipping Rope – Having a Boxing skipping rope will be essential for warming up in your training sessions. An important fitness tool for Boxers that improves endurance, balance and footwork. You don’t want to be using the old half-broken ropes at your club so it’s important you bring your own! These companies, in my opinion, are the HELL-NO brands. I will never buy or use them. I hear of too many complaints with their quality. I will have to admit that I haven’t used any of them for extended periods of time. (Based on the initial fitting, I didn’t want to.) Not surprisingly, I don’t see these brands as much in the gym (except for little kids). I would say they are completely inferior in quality, comfort, styling, and their cheaper price often reflects that. I think the biggest problem with them is that they’re not true shoe brands (and not quality boxing brands either, IMO). They don’t have the experience or know-how to make comfortable shoes. At best, they have cool designs and that’s it. Unlike the big factory brands like Nike/Adidas/Reebok which use a lot of synthetic materials…like rubber, plastic, and mesh…Mexican boxing shoes are usually made out of pure leather. The whole thing is made out of leather, except for the soles (rubber) and laces (cotton/nylon/polyester). Pure leather is far more durable than synthetic materials and may take some time to break-in. Another trait about using pure leather is that it takes a lot of work to make it look “modern” and so many Mexican boxing shoes look old/retro which some fighters like or don’t like. With that said, great craftsmanship can make leather feel like a glove from day one. Why are beginners especially so resistant when it comes to buying boxing shoes? Well, they don’t want to spend any money, they don’t see any benefit, and they figure they can just use any other athletic shoes (running/basketball/trainers). Well, I don’t recommend that. And I’m here to explain to you all the benefits of wearing good boxing shoes. Benefits of Wearing Boxing Shoes

Many boxers have this recent-model high-top Nike boxing shoes nowadays. Here in Southern California, I feel like that’s all I ever see. Manny Pacquiao made this model famous. They’re replacing the old Nike Machomai’s that everybody used to wear. They’re extremely lightweight, very supportive, appear to be long-lasting, comfortable and high performance. It feels like a very well-built shoe. Most legit pros and amateurs are using these more than any other brand I’ve seen. If there’s any complaints, it’s that some people (like my brother) might feel there’s a little more space in the ankle area than they want. This is probably most important and distinct feature of boxing shoes, their ability to grip the ground so that your feet don’t slide when transferring power…but at the same time, always allowing you to pivot so you can throw power punches or execute typical fighting footwork maneuvers. I know many of you will like to start out boxing by using other athletic shoes that are made for running, basketball, or other sports. I can tell you right now, it’s not the same. Wearing real boxing shoes makes a big difference in your performance. In fact, it’s probably one of the easiest ways to instantly improve a beginner boxer’s performance—put real boxing shoes on him. There are a few extra things to consider. First off, low-tops come in varying ranges of “low”. Some are below the ankle, some are right on the ankle, and some are even above the ankle. While that may or may not matter in terms of ankle support, they do feel very different. So even if you want low tops, I recommend you try out the different ranges of low-tops if you want to be a perfectionist.

When buying children's boxing boots, look for features such as a strong, supportive upper, a non-slip sole for better traction, adequate ankle support, and a comfortable fit. You should also consider the type of boxing you or your child will be doing, as well as their level of skill when choosing a pair of junior boxing boots. I have yet to try them personally but they look promising. They seem lightweight and supportive; also marketed as “flexible/adaptive”. Their premium pricing tells me they’re coming after the top-tier brands and want to be compared to the likes of Nike. We take pride in offering well-made boots that support your feet and ankles. Whether you are fighting regularly in competitions or just training, our range of boots will leave you spoilt for choice. When selecting boxing boots for kids, you’ll want to think carefully about the fit and height of the boot. Boots that sit lower on the ankle allow greater flexibility and movement, though they do not protect the shins in the same way. High top boots keep your ankles and shins secure but you may find your movement is a little slower. I feel that only amateurs and smaller guys will wear low-top shoes. Bigger guys and taller guys, tend to go for med or high-tops. I also noticed Adidas (when you do see them) are more often worn by the seasoned fighters, not so much by the newbies. Pros and seasoned amateurs are more likely to wear high-tops. If it matters to you, I would say about 80% of pro boxers wear Nike med-top boxing shoes, the other 20% wear Nike high-tops.

Great quality, performance, styling, and pricing! I’ve included links for both the original model as well as the newer 2.0 model. Boxing Hand Wraps – This piece of equipment will protect your hand and wrists from injury. Here at the Minotaur Fight Store, you can choose from the classic Hand Wraps or Hand Wrap Gloves so you can slip them on faster and easier. Anyway, Otomix figured they could sell their martial arts & weightlifting shoes to the boxing market and it worked. At those price points, I don’t know why anyone would choose them over the more-established boxing brands. They do have many interesting designs in different color combinations. And I’m glad to hear some people like them and others don’t. I did notice that they seem to have many options for women. 6. JUNK brands – Everlast, Ringside, Titleboxing, Lonsdale Thanks for your informative post, I was able to read it thanks to a writing service nurses essay writing22, and... by VernonDoyle Cleto Reyes are solid high quality and have always been a popular quality brand for many years. Seyer is another diehard Mexican brand but like most Mexican brands are not often found outside of Mexico. There are also several other Mexican brands that also make boxing shoes, but not all of them. I suspect boxing shoes are more hassle and less profitable compared to boxing gloves. Either way, you can research on Google if you want to explore all the other Mexican brands and see what customizations are possible.You have 3 choices of shoe-heights in boxing – LOW, MID, and HIGH. The low-tops go about as high as the ankles. The mid-height shoes go a few inches higher than that, and the high-tops reach almost to your calves. I believe it’s actually a wrestling shoe but still used and loved by boxers. Lightweight and well-functioning. Cheap, looks cool, and with different color options available. Yes! Many fighters wear wrestling shoes for boxing. I have heard though, that wrestling shoes can be used for boxing but the reverse is not recommended. I’ve never tried and I imagine it would be ok considering how similar the wrestling shoes are built to boxing shoes. I imagine wrestling shoes probably have more grip on the outside edges than boxing shoes and built to be more durable considering the sport has you scrambling along the ground at all angles. Whereas boxing has you mainly on your feet so boxing shoes might be built more to be lightweight rather than for complete 360-degree durability. Boxing Boots– Boxing Shoes weigh less than the average athletic shoes, this will help Boxers to move lightly on their toes, change directions and find angles which are key parts of Boxing. They also usually have a thin rubber sole to help maintain traction without holding you too firmly to the ground. Boxing shoes come in different version, high-top, mid-top and low-top. They offer more support to your ankle and lower shins to prevent any injuries during training. Boxing Shoes also allow sweat to evaporate from the feet because they have permeability which means that fluids can pass through them quite easily. Even though this characteristic makes the Boots impractical for outside use, they do keep your feet cooler and drier in the ring.
