Men's boxing shoes - a wide selection in the Sportano sports shop Boxing is not just a sport, it is a real challenge for the body and the spirit. In order to face your rival in the ring and achieve success, it requires not only skill and determination, but also the right equipment, including boxing shoes. These are precisely designed and manufactured footwear that perform a number of key functions, as every step must be sure-footed to avoid dangerous situations and falls. In addition, the shoes must be comfortable, as athletes spend many hours in intense training and gruelling bouts. By choosing footwear that is tailored to your individual needs, level of training and fighting style, you ensure your health, training comfort and success in the ring.
In the Men's Boxing Shoes category on Sportano, there are models for both beginners and advanced boxers, from respected brands such as LEONE 1947, adidas, Nike and Venum. Boxing shoes - key features Boxing shoes must have specific features that affect the performance, comfort and safety of the boxer during both training and fighting. Here are the key features of boxing shoes:
the upper is the upper part of the boxing shoe that surrounds the foot and ankle. It is made of natural leather, synthetic leather or mesh materials. Natural leather, especially cowhide, is durable, flexible and adapts to the shape of the foot, providing high comfort and protection. Synthetic leather is an alternative to natural leather. It is lighter, more resistant to moisture and more affordable. The mesh materials in the uppers of the shoes, on the other hand, provide ventilation and moisture control. This is important to avoid excessive foot perspiration. Some boxing shoe models feature reinforced areas on the toe, heel and sides of the upper to protect the feet from injury. In addition, the contoured upper stabilises the ankles and protects them from injury,
the midsole is designed to absorb shock and provide cushioning. It is most often made of EVA foam or other materials with good flexibility to protect the joints from stress. Some shoes offer advanced technology or interchangeable insoles to customise the level of cushioning;
the outsole contributes to grip and durability. It is usually made of high-grip rubber to ensure a confident step in the ring. The tread pattern can vary from model to model and brand to brand. Treads with deeper grooves can provide better grip.
Men's boxing shoes Low-Top, Mid-Top or High-Top? There are different variants of boxing shoes available with low-top, mid-top and high-top. They offer different levels of support, stability and freedom of movement. Choosing the right variant depends on a number of factors, including your fighting style, preference and any ankle problems.
Boxing shoes with a low-top (Low-Top) upper that ends below the ankle provide maximum freedom of movement at the ankle joint. This makes them ideal for quick movements, dodges and manoeuvres, especially for boxers who base their fighting style on speed and agility. They are often the choice of boxers who fight in an 'outboxer' (distanced boxing) style, who rely on keeping their distance and avoiding physical contact with their opponent. Although they provide a great deal of freedom of movement, they can be somewhat limiting in terms of ankle support, especially for boxers with a history of ankle injury.
Boxing shoes with a mid-top, which reaches roughly to the middle of the ankle, are a compromise between freedom of movement and ankle support. They offer more stability than shoes with a low upper, but still provide good mobility. They are popular with boxers who value the balance between speed and ankle support. They are a good choice for boxers participating in both technical training and sparring.
Boxing shoes with a high-top (High-Top) that ends above the ankle and often reaches the mid-calf give the greatest stability and ankle support of all variants. They protect the ankle from sprains and injuries. They are primarily chosen by fighters who fight close to their opponent, where the risk of physical contact is greater, and boxers who have often struggled with ankle injuries.
Ultimately, it is advisable to experiment with different options and find the one that best suits your preferences and provides maximum comfort and performance during training and fighting. How to choose boxing shoes? Choosing boxing shoes is an important issue that affects comfort and safety during training and fighting. Shoes need to fit the foot properly, ensuring precise movement and body control. This is why many fighters invest in bespoke shoes that adapt perfectly to their feet.
Determine whether the shoes will be for amateur boxing, professional boxing or perhaps for other forms of training, such as boxing classes at a fitness club. If you have a boxing coach, it's worth consulting him or her about shoe selection. Your trainer may have valuable tips and recommendations that take into account the specifics of your fighting style. Alternatively, you can get expert help from the experts at Sportano.
Make sure the shoes are properly fitted to the length and width of your foot. They should be comfortable straight away, without the need for prolonged 'stretching'. Remember that your foot will be a little swollen during exercise, so it's a good idea to try on shoes in the evening to get a similar effect.
Choosing between boxing shoes with laces and Velcro models depends on your preferences and priorities. If you want a precise fit and ankle stability, shoes with a classic binding system will be a better choice. Velcro boxing shoes are much quicker to put on and take off. For some athletes, this is a more comfortable option, especially during training sessions where you need to manoeuvre around the shoes frequently. Some manufacturers offer boxing shoes that combine both options.
Try on several shoe models. Different brands and models may have different shaped uppers and soles, which affects the fit. Testing the movements you make during boxing training can help you choose the right model. Check that the shoes provide adequate grip and stability in the ring. Test that they do not slip on the floor and that they hold your foot well during dynamic movements.
