Boxing Shoe : What is it?
| Despite their strong resemblance to ordinary running shoes, boxing shoes rarely have forefoot and heel support. They are made of lightweight leather to allow boxers to move quickly around the ring.
Boxing shoes do not have treading. Instead, they have non-slip outsoles to help boxers get a good grip on the boxing ring floor. They come with shoe laces that go up to the shin. They are available in different colors and sizes. |

Kinds of Boxing Shoes include the following: |
Low Top Boxing Shoes
Low Top Boxing Shoes are usually made of leather or suede tops that come up to the ankles. Resembling ordinary running shoes, they come with straps to support the lateral arches of the feet for maximum safety. They may have rubber soles and a slip-free pattern for strong footholds and sharp cuts. Low Top Boxing Shoes come in different colors and sizes to fit men and women.
High Top Boxing Shoes
High Top Boxing Shoes come with a laced top that comes up to the shins. They are normally made of all-leather material for maximum comfort and breathability. They come with excellent lateral support to help boxers execute front to back and side to side movements with ease. They may have non-slip outsoles made of rubber for maximum traction to compensate for their lack of treading. High Top Boxing Shoes normally have laces, but some models have Velcro ankle straps for maximum security.

Fit: Choose boxing shoes that fit well. Try on a pair that is of the same size of a pair of your own rubber shoes. Walk around in the boxing shoes and look out for pain in the heel, toes, or arches of your feet. Stay away from High Top Boxing Shoes if you have a difficult time walking, hopping, or jumping around in them.
Materials used: Choose boxing shoes that are made of breathable materials. Consider leather boxing shoes because they are very breathable. If you are on a budget, consider less expensive synthetic boxing shoes that have air vents on the sides that make them breathable.
