The most important thing to consider when buying boxing shoes is comfort. Think of the footwork and jumping around that they will need to put up with. If past shoes have hurt your feet, figure out why- Were they lacking padding or were they too rigid? Everyone's a little bit different in what they prefer so do your research but in the end, go with your instinct. Don't second guess yourself. So what should you research? Aside from comfort, you should consider safety, breathability, and traction. Shock Absorption and Support Straps: When evaluating a boxing shoe for safety, the major things to look for are shock absorption, and support straps. Many shoes have a shock absorbing mid-sole to take some of the shock away from your joints and to provide some added comfort. Some of the more advanced boxing shoes will have support straps near the arch of your foot to help the shoe conform the shape of your foot. This creates more cushion and less slippage. Breathability and Venting: Many shoes have breathable air vents, sometimes on all sides, to avoid excessive sweat buildup. If you finish your workout and your shoes are very wet, you're most likely suffocating your feet. You lose more than half your body heat between your feet and your head and when your boxing heavily, effective cooling is an important thing to consider so you don't overheat. Many brush over breathability but for this reason, it's a good idea to consider it. Traction: Last but not least is traction. Think of all the crazy footwork you put the shoes through- You really should look for boxing shoes that have a rubber sole and have some type of anti-slip pattern so you can ensure you won't slip during quick cuts and rapid footwork. High vs. Low Top Shoes: Many ask whether they should get high top or low top shoes. If you're not a kick boxer, this is really just preference. Kick boxers, definitely get a high top boxing shoe or boot to protect your ankles and shins. Comfort over Looks: Leather looks good but make sure there is cushion or padding between you and the boxing shoe. Sweaty skin against leather might very well be the worst feeling in the world. Same for zippers- make sure the zipper is not directly against your skin. Other than that; black, white, gold, silver, special designs, high top vs. low top; it's totally up to you. Be safe, be comfortable, be slipfree, be great. About Author David Toub is the owner of Air Jordan 3+9 yellow ivory black and absolutely loves the sport.
