Buying new boxing shoes, any suggestions?

I know what your saying, i couldnt try mine on either, the older everlast is a good light boot and this boot whilst looking stiff is very similar and i promise you its not a stiff heavy boot, you will enjoy it, its the top end for boots imo, RJJ boot imo is the lower end, its very durable boot but more so a hiking type boot than a light fabric type boot that everlast make.

The stiff boots are the leather looking ones, the fabric type boots are the lighter soft boot type. I Sized mine up by going off a nike USA size sneaker because the everlast boots use the same size system as nike, i think Nike make them but im not 100% sure.

 

I wouldnt get the machomais, check out this bad review they got..

 

dude, that is ******ed. a review from a person who didn't even use them. speculating on "if's" and such. any product is going to have some bad reviews, and the machomais because they were a big seller I'm sure you'll find plenty. But at least get a review from someone who actually used them, not opened the box, took a look and shipped them back.

paloa, the thing about the laces, not having firm eye holes is true, but it hasn't posed a problem at all for me. the only concern I'd have for you with them is maybe with your style. For eg, I'm a very mobile fighter, so would never use a high top shoe. the mids is the cut off for me. for support I felt they were really good, but bear in mind, like I say...I don't plant my feet like a plodding fighter would, who would tend to want more support with as high a shoe as possible. I really think a person's style needs to be considered when purchasing either a low, mid or high top shoe.

lol at this review. "I danced around a bit and rolled my ankle." what is this dude a cripple? it sounds almost made up, like some one just read other reviews and decided to fabricate one. is prob an addas rep. :yep

 

I gotta pair of Machomai's, I really like em cos they're so light, they're really good for pivoting & such, my only problem with them is that the laces dont tie up tight enough not how much you pull the laces,

the laces aint long enough to go round your legs but with the mids that would look **** anyway, I just use 2 of those sweat band things to cover the laces does the job & looks really good

 

i got the hydrolast mids, great boot but the fabric is thick so they soak up sweat.

i wouldnt say they are heavy. had em for about 1 yr and they are holding up fine.

 

Anyone ever try Rival???
