    I have a pair of Adidas Vapourspeed II,the same ones Ricky Burns and John Simpson wear.
    Only complaint is that I should've got a half size bigger,but I did find the low-top far more comfortable.

    Cant go wrong with Adidas. I think the once You posted are overpriced but good ol' Box Hogs are the choice of many for a concrete reason. I bought a second pair a few months ago and I will go with the 3rd for sure.

    I wear these and have been for nearly 2 years, they are comfy, and last a long time! worth the money, and there good looking boots, really light on the feet too .

    I recently got the Box Hogs. I have nothing to compare them to, but I'm liking them so far. The only problem is they're a half size too big. I put in some heel inserts and have been wearing 2 pairs of socks when training in them. Helps a bit with keeping my feet from slipping/sliding inside the shoe, but being a little too long can make it harder to pivot.

    I use a pair of red/white Adidas boots for most of my sessions. If I can be bothered, I'll switch to my Cleto Reyes for sparring as they are more comfortable, but have terrible grip on the flooring we have at the gym.
