best shoes for boxing

Q: What is the best shoes for boxing? 

A: They are the cheapest shoes you can find. If you have never boxed before, I wouldn't recommend getting professional trainer shoes because you will get injured. However, if you have been boxing for a while and are ready to step up your game, then get a pair of shoes that have high traction and support so you can really control where you land. Boxers who spend most of their time in training should spend the extra money and get a trainer shoe. 

 Q: How do I know my feet are properly sized? 

A: Your feet are measured from the inside of your heel to the end of your toes. This measurement is referred to as the hall-ometer for your feet. If your feet are too big, you can't box well and if your feet are too small, you'll be constantly bending over and this won't allow you to maximize power punches and stop punches from going into your opponent's body. Remember, boxers who have wide feet tend to have weaker knees and elbows. 

 Q: How do I decide what style shoes to get? 

A: First, you should pick out shoes with low-tops or no tops at all. Boxing shoes are meant to protect your ankles from nasty hooks and heavy punches. You will also want to make sure your shoes are closed with strong laces. This is especially true if you train in the early morning, where it's possible you'll get caught in the morning dew. Also, make sure you buy a shoe with rubber soles so they'll stay on your feet. 

 Q: I'm looking for a pair of shoes that feel comfortable and protect my joints. Which brands do I need to look out for? 

A: There are a few main brands when it comes to boxing shoes. Each of these has a couple different styles of shoes, each targeting different parts of the foot. Here are some of the main names you can look to when you want to buy a new pair of shoes: Asics - These shoes come in either closed shoes or open shoes. Closed shoes, as you probably know, are made up of a thin sole that wraps around the entire foot. Open shoes, on the other hand, have a thicker sole. Athletes wear open shoes to train and to avoid injuries. Also, Asics shoes have been known to absorb shock better than closed shoes, so they feel more balanced when you're walking. Brands like Hayabusa, Pearl Izumi, Pumel, and Dansko are great for lightweight workouts. These brands have a lightweight feel to them, but they still provide quality construction and support. To get the most out of your boxing shoes and for maximum comfort, stick with lightweight brands like Pearl Izumi and Dansko.
