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. Many of you will be tempted to do what I did, which is not buy real boxing shoes until way later, until you’re more serious, but you won’t get to enjoy the fun of how good it feels to wear real boxing shoes. Your feet feel so much lighter, and you move around with so much more agility AND support as you jump around the boxing ring snapping hooks and crosses. You simply have to try it to see what I mean. Important Features of Good Boxing Shoes 1. Grip & Pivot 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. Most soles are made from rubber and are a lot thinner than normal trainers. Consequently this leads to you feeling better connected with the ground which also leads to better power transference when throwing a punch.

The best boxing shoes feel light, comfortable (like custom-made gloves for your feet), and help you become one with the canvas. The worst boxing shoes feel like a foreign material underneath, with weird lumps and curves that don’t mold to your feet. And then there’s also the matter of quality and features. Some last longer than others. Some are more comfortable, more secure, and easier to use than others.There are three types of boxing shoe, these are Low top, Mid top and Hi top. In general these three types of boot are essentially the same the only difference been is how high they rise above the ankle. If you are new to boxing you might be wondering, why do I need boxing shoes? and what is wrong with wearing trainers? The main features to look at when deciding upon the quality of your boots are the sole, materials and brand. Final Thoughts The last thing to note is the construction of the toe and the heel. Some of you may like a shoe where the sole wraps up and covers the toe and the heel areas. This can make the shoe feel more durable and feel more grippy overall (especially when you pivot all the way to the toe-edge for punching). Others may hate when the toe edge has grip because they feel like it (grips and) trips them when they try to move. Those people probably prefer where the sole is only on bottom and the toe and heel areas are surrounded by the soft uppers. This might also feel lighter, more mobile or more comfortable to you. These shoes have the basics covered, they provide adequate ankle support without been to restrictive are comfortable to wear, lightweight and have good traction. For the price you can’t go wrong with these boots by Lonsdale

In case you still wanted the clean classic original Machomai’s. Great shoes that were the most popular shoe for a long time. Nike performance and quality. 2. POPULAR brands – Adidas, Reebok, Rival, & Venum In our guide to choosing the best boxing shoes we will be explaining everything you need to know about shoes for boxing. From all the different types to the benefits of owning a pair and everything in between. We will also be including any information that will help you to find the right pair for your feet. 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.

Why Do You Need Boxing Shoes?

A good pair of boxing shoes improves comfort, mobility, speed, and power. It’s really that simple. A shoe that’s made for boxing will allow you to be comfortable in boxing positions and stances, and allow you to move in the ways that a boxer typically moves. And if you’re able to move better, you’ll have more speed, and more power. As you can see there is a lot to consider before purchasing your boxing shoes. Before buying yourself a new pair take into consideration all of the following and you will have a much better chance of finding the perfect pair for you and What you need. Support This is like the Adidas equivalent of the Nike Speedsweep. It’s basically a low-cost, low-top, good thin lightweight boxing shoe. Be careful: some people complained that the wrestling version is too grippy to pivot. 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.

As mentioned earlier the level of support your shoes provide is up to you and down to personal preference. Material The mid-cut design of these boots serves a dual purpose: enhancing ankle stability and lending a touch of modern style to your gear. The ankle strap takes things a step further by not only promoting a secure fit but also delivering an extra layer of support that’s invaluable in combat sports. The mid top or mid cut as they are also known rise a few inches above the ankle. They are known to provide good ankle support at the same time as leaving you remaining agile on your feet. These are the preferred choice boxing boot cut for most professional boxers the world over making them the most popular boxing boot among amateurs as well. Purchasing Do & Don’t Do 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.One key difference you’ll see is that boxing boots rise higher up on the foot and ankle. High-top boxing boots offer support to your ankle and shins when you are pivoting, making them ideal for manoeuvres. You’ll be able to reduce the risk of injury with the right boots, and with so many high-quality brands to choose from, you are spoilt for choice. 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. 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. Obviously the quality of your boxing boots is a major purchasing consideration. If you want a pair that are going to go the distance then you are best off choosing one of the popular brands. When it comes to boxing shoes Nike and Adidas are the heavyweights and tend to be most professional boxers brand of choice.

You will find that non-boxing shoes are pretty horrible when it comes to allowing you to grip & pivot. The way non-boxing shoes are shaped at the front can make pivoting a little awkward and also that the non-boxing shoes are either too slippery (don’t give you enough grip) or they give you too much grip (making it hard to pivot).

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! What sets these boots apart is their upgraded sole, featuring an improved rubber compound for superior traction and durability. The integrated inner steel shaft enhances performance and longevity, making these boots a reliable investment. Unlike many others the Speedex shoes are true to your normal shoe size, meaning you don’t have to worry about buying a size larger or smaller. I’ve noticed those who have Mexican boxing shoes seem to swear by them. I suspect that’s where a big part of the cost comes from. Nike and other big name manufacturers can outsource their production to china where these shoes are probably made by machine and with cheap synthetic materials (fashioned into seemingly high-quality fancy-looking designs). Mexican boxing shoes have to be made by hand in Mexico using raw materials like leather. The comfort that a pair of boxing shoes offers can’t be beaten, when you find the correct pair you will instantly know what I mean.
