500 Lightweight Flexible Boxing Shoes

Nice lightweight and flexible

Used the Adidas boots before, but these just feel great on, and training.

Another great bit of kit from Decathlon.

It's just a day since I wore this shoes and I thought I should let those who are looking for a boxing shoes know what this shoes is all about.

I used to train in my trainers at Cult, Bangalore. The floor is of rubber material and this means the sole of my shoes worn of quicker that it would. I have been researching if I need to get a boxing shoes as I have been training for 1yr.

The first impression while wearing the shoes is the heel support you feel. Boxing shoes are meant to support the heel to avoid injuries due to slipping or falling. The shoes has strong heel support giving you the confidence of moving back and forth.

It's lightweight and is almost flat. This is essential for all boxing shoes as boxers need mobility and support. I could feel the ease of movement compared to my trainers.

I feel that I was restricted in my movement compared to when I'm wearing my boxing shoe. The movement is an important feature as boxers tend to pivot and use their front foot a lot.

The shoe is designed to help you pivot and land on your toes. Since the weight is evenly distributed, I could feel if I was using my heels to move or my front feet.

About the sole of the shoe. If you look at typical boxing shoe sole, the design is based on the need for boxers to move in a boxing mat. This is a problem in rubber floor that Cult has. The shoe can wear off very soon.

The sole of this shoe doesn't look so soft or made for boxing mats. It looks more for training purpose. I can't tell how long it will last at the moment.

Only with time I will be able to know the durability of the shoe. It looks well knight and the extended support the sole has gives me confidence that the shoe will hold good for some time.

I highly recommend this shoe if this is your first time attempt at any boxing shoes.
