[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]

1. Venum Elite

Fits as expected (88%)

Summary

Feature:

• Tri-material: Glossy PU Patent, PU Flex, Mesh Honeycomb.
• Rubber outsole: increased grip, durability, and stability.
• Optimized comfort with an anatomical designed insole.
• Bonded insole to prevent slipping.
• IMPORTANT: fit will be a half size larger than standard US sizing. If you are normally a US size 10, you should order a size 9. 5

After two years of research and development, VENUM is proud to present our first professional boxing shoe. The Elite boxing shoes are the result of strategic research, development, and collaboration between our product engineers and # boxing champions. Battle-tested in training and live bouts, VENUM fighters Jorge Linares, Miguel Burchett, and Juan Francisco Estrada have had the privilege of experiencing the support, stability and grip of the Venom Elite boxing shoe. Our goal was not to offer ‘just’ another boxing shoe, but the best product available on the market. The sole was one of the most intricate components to develop. Whilst necessary to combine characteristics such as lightness, strength, stability and grip, it had to provide explosive support to allow a boxer to move very quickly in any direction. Whilst including these dynamic qualities, the Venom boxing shoe had to offer comfort and protection to the wearer. The insole was designed to perfectly fit the plantar arch of the foot, without being too bulky or uncomfortable. Despite being a shoe optimized for the attacker, the Venom Elite allows the wearer to manage distance thanks to the excellent lateral ankle support provided by its mid-cut silhouette. Defensive maneuvers are handled with ease. To maximize comfort, the ”Honeycomb” mesh enables the foot to breathe during the most intense workouts, whilst being incredibly resistant and increasing the longevity of the shoe. Although the performance was at the heart of the design, being a Venom product, style and design have not been forgotten.

Performance and Use 

Pros

• Shoes are light and flexible, with good ankle support
  Extremely comfortable and durable
  Easy movement
  Light, durable, fits well
• Well Balanced Grip & Pivot
• Flexible Shoes & Profiled Shape
• Thin & Reinforced Outsole
• Comfort & Stability

Verdict

I wear 13 in Nike, they fit great, and a 13 in boxing shoes but the boxing shoes are about a half size too big in my case. It’s men sizes. If you’re size in women’s 8 you’re probably size 6 in men’s. But this runs a little small so get a size up.

2. Otomix Stingray

Fits as expected (86%)

Summary

• Suede
• An ultra-light shoe that provides superior support with an unlimited range of motion.
• It also features the ultimate traction sole which is needed for competition.
• Available in sizes 6-13

Performance and Use 

True to size. 
Yeah, they are really good nice and light. But perfect for leg day. At least I use them for leg day and they are really good. 
I went with 11 and I’m good. I have a wide foot so I have no issues. I don’t know how a size smaller with help with the width but I think you will be fine.  Men’s size is larger than the women’s sizes.

Pros

These shoes are comfortable and are very lightweight

The sole grips the ground properly and offers good balance while allowing you to pivot and step properly

They’re very comfortable and have good ankle support. 

The sole grips the ground properly and offers a good balance while allowing you to pivot and step properly.

Verdict

These far exceeded my expectations for support/lightness. I’m able to switch my feet, tap and throw round kicks as easily as if I were barefoot. I highly recommend these for anyone who is serious about MMA at a high level and wants foot protection. They are true to fit in relation to Adidas, so whatever size you are in their wrestling shoes will be exactly the same for Otomix. The Otomix Stingray Escape will love you, whether you’re on the mat, or in the gym, your work-out full through. A light shoe, which offers you a lot of support when it has to. The Otomix Stingray Escape is definitely the right decision! An ultralight shoe that provides great support coupled with an unlimited range of movement. In addition, there is the ultimate traction sole, which is almost a must for the competition.

3. Title Speed-Flex-Encore

Fit: As expected (81%)

Summary

• Full synthetic leather upper with tight weave nylon fill
• Built for quick footwork and speed

Performance and Use 

11-year-old is a size 10 in men, I got him a size 10 in these shoes and his toes are almost touching at the tip. I should’ve got him a size 10.5. 

A women’s 10.5 would be an 8.5 to 9 in men’s sizes. 

The sizing is normal, but they tend to be more narrow the regular footwear. I would purchase a half size larger (which is what I did) to be sure to fit them comfortably along the sides.  So if your a size men 12 go for 12.5 etc…

Pros

They are very comfortable and fit like a glove

Fit is secure and unlikely to come off, however undoing the laces can be time-consuming and putting the show on or taking it off can be a slight struggle.

 Working out with them is great. Very light and efficient.

Verdict

I’ve used these for about a week and I’m very satisfied with them. I was getting blisters from my regular tennis shoes so I knew I needed some real boxing shoes. These are very comfortable and lightweight. I usually wear 8.5 in shoes and I ordered size nine and they fit great. You also can’t beat the price.

4. Asics JB Elite 2.0

Fit: As expected (79%)

Summary

Performance and Use 

Always buy these a full size bigger than your usual, I don’t even have a wide foot. These are a tight fit but they wear in and become perfect, maybe get a half size up if you don’t like it so tight, but I use them for a gym and it gives me a really good grip on the floor for lifting. They Look awesome in person just as the pictures.

Pros

Two practices to get them 90% broken in, now very comfortable. They breathe very well too, which I was a little concerned about simply based on material construction and placement. Highly recommend.

Look great feel great and most importantly perform great! I’ve used them through a whole season of High school wrestling and they’re still in great shape

Verdict

 I use them for boxing and weight lifting, they really help stabilize the ankles during boxing and they are very light and flat for weight lifting especially deadlifts. They are not meant to be used outside the gym FYI.

5. Asics Aggressor 4

Fit: As expected (77%)

Summary

• Fabric, Manmade, Suede
• Imported
• Rubber sole
• EVA SOCKLINER
• DUOSOLE OUTSOLE: Reduces weight and enhances flexibility while maintaining traction and durability.
• SEAMLESS ECSAINE UPPER
• ANKLE PADDING SUPPORT

Performance and Use 

The insoles are not removable.
 they only make a certain amount in various sizes! Limited editions change every year! 
purchased a size 7 for a 14-year-old girl whose shoe size is about a 7 as I wanted them to fit for a while. Usually, men’s shoes run much bigger but these worked perfectly with a little room to grow. 
This is a shoe that does take a little while to break in. My son uses two shoes because the practices are so hard. He has a tournament or match shoe that he uses for competition and then he has this shoe that he uses for practice. He has 2 practices a day and those practices are brutal on your shoes. These shoes hold up to the wear and tear of practices.

The fit is a tad tight, think about going half size up

Pros

The soles are durable and you’ll get your money’s worth

Great grip!

Aggressors are great for wrestlers with turf toe

These shoes look great as well. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on them

Verdict

You’re a mid-level wrestler in your early years of wrestling. You need great-fitting wrestling shoes with a tough sole that delivers durability and grip when you’ve got your opponent down on the mat. The AGGRESSOR 4 wrestling shoe is specially-engineered with ASICS technology for foot and ankle support and breathability for when things get heated. With a standout ASICS infinity logo bold and stylish design choices for you and your team, you’ll wrong-foot the opposition right from the start.
