    Basically. Buying anything that you are not sure of the fit, usually works out to your disadvantage. I figured I'd buy a new headgear recently...so I purhcased one from titleboxing.com and when I got it it and tried it on it was like having a small child on my head, **** was HUGE.

    So I had to return it and returning **** through mail takes forever . Not only that titleboxing makes you pay for the return postage instead of having a prepaid return label like almost every company on earth. Gay.

    Yep and this is precisely why u get a false sense of confidence when ordering online cause every piece of equipment fits different even if its supposedly your size. Ie, some cups will say they fit such & such waist size, I ordered one for my waist size and it was so tight it was cutting off my circulation. I've ordered shirts online that don't fit worth a damn either. I'm an XXL in shirts, yet I ordered some XXL shirts online before and when I got em they fit me like spandex.

    When it comes to clothes or gear its really best to try everything on before you buy it cuz every maker don't make your size the same way... but unfortunately in many places boxing equipment isn't the most readily available to buy in person.

    Best bet is to find a brand that you like, and have grown familiar with. You can trust that size unless they change the actual mold size when developing.. If your worried about something like wrong sizing, find a pair you like at a shop, size yourself and buy that exact shoe online.. If it doesn't fit, you can always return it.. Key buying online, you save for not having to pay taxes and shipping, on top of a lower price.

    I buy my work shoes online.. I always get Ecco's.. I get my nike air maxes online, sizing is always the same..

    Its not in a shoe companies interest to sell **** that is the wrong size.. But if you go from nike to adidas, the sizing will be different from brand to brand.. Within the brand, the sizing should be pretty much the same.

    title is where i bought my stuff from as well and it was rediculous cause they made me pay for return as well and it took forever for them to get there in the first place AND the box was all ripped up and stuff when it got to my house so i avoid titleboxing.com all together now

    Never buy **** online, unless it's porn or that, but then again I was overcharged on that too. Which brings to another thing, my brother used buy all his **** online, from clothes to car parts, but then out of nowhere money started to come out of his account for no reason, he ended up having to cancel his credit card and get and activate a new one. Idenity theft is on the rise, and there are a ton of computer hackers that would love to get ahold of your credit card number.

    If you cant find **** in your local sporting goods store, I would get a ringside magazine, you could just call from home, and they seems to have a good selection on everything boxing related, which goes for boxing shoes as well.

    I know that people who find a specific model of running shoes they like will buy several pairs of that model because they know in a few years the brand will be doing an "update" and they may not fit the same in the future.

    I bought RJJ's boxing shoes of this american website - Fit perfectly, and suprisingly comfortable. My adidas ones I have were good, but hurt my feel after a few hours. With my new RJ's i can wear them all day and not feel a thing

    Same here. I rock the black RJ Jordan ones and love em. The support is great, much better than those flimsy boxing shoes ive owned in the past. The only hard part is putting them on, I always have difficulty getting my foot in those things because of the design.
