    If you're going to get low topped shoes, then you might as well get wrestling shoes

    Do you think i should get hi ones? What is the difference, is it like the style of the fighter? Would the instigators be good?

    Personal preference, depends if you like the support from the high ones, do you like more grip on your shoes? I personal like my mid cut adistars which are $200 and 8 inches.

    What are you looking for in a shoe? Foot/toe support? Ankle support? More/less grip? Weight? These things will point you to your shoe.

    Since you are looking for low cuts, wresting shoes are a good move like suggested. Start with a Matflex (dirt cheap) and strengthen your toes. Then you can go on to more technical wrestling shoes or go with an expensive Boxing boot.

    A good Boxing boot is going to be more rigid like a normal shoe and probably VERY expensive. You just don't seem get quality out of low end Boxing boots. Maybe only from Adidas, but there "entry" Boxing boot is double the Matflex.

    If you want a high top I heard great things about the adidas 2000 boot, and ringside is selling it again
