Today, we will be taking a closer look at these shoes, examining them with a more careful eye to see if they’re the right fit for you.

Design

These shoes are designed as socks, meaning that they’re very light and very close to the foot. You don’t need to wear socks when putting these shoes on, as they’re adhering as close to your foot as possible, but they have a rubber bottom which is there to ensure a safe grip on the floor. If you take a look at their pictures, they literally look like socks with a rubber bottom, which means that they’re very flexible and you light.

You won’t even feel that you’re wearing them, as they’re essentially becoming a part of your foot – with the added bonus of keeping a tight grip on the floor.

This is a new concept of martial arts shoes, and they’re so simple to put on and take off than a 4-year old could do it.

People who wear these shoes can be separated from fighters who prefer to fight bare-footed. The non-slip function of these shoes is ensuring that you can function in a wide spectrum.

They’re also very easy to carry around, and they’re also going to keep your feet warm when you’re wearing them. The function of breathability is very stressed here, with the shoes being very breathable and easy to wear.

Benefits Provided

The most prominent benefit of this shoe is hygiene. The shoes are very breathable and light, so you won’t see your feet sweating too much. They’re also solid on the bottom with a rubber sole, so they’re keeping your feet clean because you won’t be touching the floor. This way, you’re protected from various conditions, including the athlete’s foot.

You’re also keeping safe from slipping and/or twisting your ankles. The rubber sole is surely going to keep you safely footed to the ground, and you won’t be facing any difficulties making quick turns.

The variety of uses these shoes have is also an additional bonus. They can be worn for taekwondo, or if you’re doing yoga. You can also wear them around the house if that’s what you want to do.

They’re made of neoprene, providing comfort to your feet and keeping them warm, but breathable. The neoprene is developed by Dupont Group and is a kind of synthetic rubber. Soft-touch and excellent tension enhance the fit and are excellent in winter effect.

The shoes are available in red and navy-blue colors, so you can have your pick from that. When choosing your shoes, you should keep in mind that they’re very flexible, so don’t be afraid to choose a smaller size.

They also come in a small bag that allows you to pack them safely and carry them around.

What’s really important when you’re choosing your shoes, for any sport (not just martial arts), is support. The last thing you want happening is taking a turn during movement and twisting your ankle or your knee. That’s why all athletes take meticulous care of the footwear. For example, Toni Kroos has been using the same soccer boots for the past ten years, literally, the same few pairs and he refuses to change them for newer models and cleans them on his own – he doesn’t let the kit-man do that.

The reason for this is that injury is the greatest threat to an athlete’s career. The worst possible thing that can happen to an athlete is to injure themselves while they’re working – this can potentially derail an entire career. Choosing to wear shoes when fighting is a great way to keep yourself injury-free, and most athletes would opt for this.

Different tournaments have different rules, and you may not be able to wear these shoes at all tournaments, but you’re definitely going to be able to wear them when you’re training and it won’t make you any less effective.
