How to Choose the Right Boxing Shoes
How to Choose the Right Boxing Shoes
Choosing the right boxing shoes is essential for comfort, performance, and injury prevention. Unlike regular athletic shoes, boxing shoes need to fit snugly, provide stability, and allow agile movements. This guide will help you find the perfect size and fit based on your foot length, model, and foot type.
1️⃣ Measure Your Foot Length
Before selecting a size:
- Place your foot on a piece of paper.
- Mark the heel and the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure the distance in centimeters.
This measurement will help you select the correct size using our proprietary sizing system.
2️⃣ Two Size Charts for Different Models
Our boxing shoes share the same shoe last length but have two US size conversion charts depending on the model:
⚠️Size Chart 1→ Model LS198⚠️
- LS198
⚠️Size Chart 2→ Model LS308/ LS508/ PRO20-2⚠️
- LS308
- LS508
- PRO20-2
Important: Always check which model you are buying and use the correct chart. Using the wrong chart may result in an incorrect fit.
⚠️ Tip: The shoe last is the same, but the US size number differs between the charts.
3️⃣ Consider Your Foot Type
Your foot type affects how a boxing shoe fits. Common foot types include:
- Standard Foot – Normal width and height. Fits most shoes directly using the size chart.
- Wide Foot – Front foot is wide; may need a slightly larger size or wide last.
- Narrow Foot – Front foot is narrow; a slightly smaller size or snug fit is recommended.
- High Arch – Raised midfoot; look for shoes with adjustable laces or flexible uppers.
- Flat Foot – Low arch; choose shoes with good midfoot support and cushioned insoles.
Why foot type matters:
- Wide feet may feel pinched if the shoe is too narrow.
- Narrow feet may slip inside loose shoes.
- High arches or flat feet may experience discomfort without proper support.
4️⃣ Check the Fit
After selecting a size:
- Heel should feel snug and secure.
- Toes should have a little room but not cramped.
- Shoe should provide support without slipping during movement.
5️⃣ Additional Tips
- Boxing shoes generally run slightly large; consider half to one size smaller than your usual shoe size if needed.
- For wide or high instep feet, adjust lacing to ensure comfort.
- Always double-check which size chart corresponds to your model before ordering.
6️⃣ Conclusion
By measuring your foot, using the correct size chart, and considering your foot type, you can confidently select the right boxing shoe.
