Reebok Men's Boot Boxing Shoe

Product Information

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.

In case you were looking for the older (yet also popular) Adidas boxing shoes, this model was very popular. Some people even liked these more than the seen-everywhere Nike Machomai boxing shoes. I’m not sure but it seems this model is being updated as well. I listed Box Hog version “2” and “3” above for you. Ideally your boxing shoes should offer a snug fit but allow for good mobility without causing blisters. I’ve never tried any Mexican boxing shoes but do know them to be high quality and always well-respected over the years. The only reason why they aren’t more popular is due to cost, popularity, and accessibility. Due to their strong ties to hip-hop culture and recognizable brand in other sports, Nike/Adidas/Reebok are most likely the first pair of boxing shoes any fighter will wear. In fact, most boxers are probably wearing Nike basketball or running shoes as their first pair of “boxing shoes”. That’s why it’s easy to just go with Nike again when you buy your first pair of real boxing shoes. You already know and trust the brand.You have 3 choices of shoe-heights in boxing – LOW, MID, and HIGH. The low-tops go about as high as the ankles. The mid-height shoes go a few inches higher than that, and the high-tops reach almost to your calves. And they are narrow, especially the toes. I already have narrow feet but damn, these things don’t give me a lot of breathing room. 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. I’m not an everlast fan, but their Elite shoes are very good, especially for the price (60€ for the Everlast, 190€ for the Nike…). Adidas Box Hog 2 is another great, affordable option. These boots deliver agile performance with a sturdy single-layer open mesh upper construction for superior climate control.

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. The mid tops will usually rest two or three inches above your ankles depending upon the model and usually are the most popular since they offer a bit more mobility than the high tops but more support than the low top. Great quality, performance, styling, and pricing! I’ve included links for both the original model as well as the newer 2.0 model.

What sets these boots apart is their upgraded sole, featuring an improved rubber compound for superior traction and durability.

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 The EVA midsole is a testament to Reebok’s commitment to performance. It’s lightweight yet exceptionally durable, offering the ideal cushioning for your feet without adding any unnecessary bulk. For the maximum support, many serious boxers and those who compete, like high top boxing shoes since they securely cushion the ankle and provide better stability. They usually come up about mid-calf. If you’re prone to ankle issues or have had previous injuries, the high tops will offer the most protection. If you do decide upon a pair of low tops remember they provide less support than mid or hi tops. However because they are less restrictive than hi-tops you may find it easier to move your feet around. Purchasing Do & Don’t DoI just got these a few months ago. I can’t testify to how long they hold up, but the soles are harder than a wrestling shoe. I work out on a heavy bag and speed bag at my local gym. Are boxing shoes ok to wear on a wooden floor surface? I didn’t know if they were specifically designed to be used in a ring or if being on wood/cement flooring would hurt them or not. A smooth texture is designed for better pivoting while others are designed for a better grip. Texture comes down to whether you prefer more mobility to pivot or have a firmer grip behind your movements. 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.

These are the 2nd tier brands for boxing shoes on the market. They are probably just as high quality and fancily-designed as Nike but not as popular. Is it due to just marketing and brand recognition/trust? Or is it something else? 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. 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. Each of the three types of boxing shoe have their own pro’s and cons, choosing the right pair is down to personal preference. We all want something different from the training equipment we buy to see what you will get when buying low, mid or hi-top boxing shoes see below. Don’t buy a pair if you like to feel light on your feet and not restricted with your foot movements

Benefits Of Owning A Pair Of Boxing Shoes

Buying equipment and gear for any sport, especially when you’re new can be challenging and costly. If you’re not serious about boxing or just testing it out for exercise, then you can probably get away with any good pair of athletic shoes. However, should you decide to take the sport more seriously and start sparring, investing in some quality boxing boots is recommended to help improve your footwork. Reebok is the latest mainstream sports brand to go into the boxing market (behind Nike/Adidas). The most well-known pros wearing them are Floyd Mayweather and Amir Khan. From what I hear, it’s a great shoe but might be a little narrow and annoying to put on. Their models are made to be a direct competitor to Nike’s HyperKO. You can watch this Reebok vs Nike boxing shoe review video. This is a matter of personal preference. Some of you with high arches may prefer more of a contoured or cushioned-sole so you foot feels wrapped in a glove and maybe even a little bit elevated off the ground. And those of you with low arches or flatter feet may prefer a more “naked” flat shoe where your feet feel like they’re standing right on the ground. Some of you may also feel that well-cushioned insoles seem more expensive and that naked “flat” shoes feel more cheap. You COULD also take a “flat shoe” and switch out the insoles. This is what my brother did when the shoes he wanted didn’t have enough arch-support or cushion for him. 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.
