Low-topHook-and-loop strap
The essentials: low-top boxing shoes closed by laces plus a hook-and-loop strap above the instep. Two colourways: grey and neon green, black and red. Ventilated mesh upper with flame appliqués on the sides. 5 sizes, EU 41 to 45 (UK 7 to 10.5). €69, free shipping.
Laces relax as the foot works through a session. A strap does not — and on this model it closes the collar itself, not just the instep.
Laces loosen, the strap does not
The strap here sits high, closing the collar over the lacing. That keeps the heel seated in the counter through long bag rounds, when the lacing has already given a little.
What it looks like
Perforated mesh with matt suede-look panels, and flame appliqués running along each side. Two colourways: grey with neon green, or black with red. The outsole is flat, in dark rubber.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose my boxing shoe size?
A boxing shoe should fit closer than a street shoe: no play at the heel, toes just short of the end. Measure your foot in the evening, when it is at its largest, and take your usual EU size unless you are between two — then size up.
What is the strap on a boxing shoe for?
It holds the fit the laces set. On this model it closes the collar itself, which keeps the heel seated when the lacing relaxes over a long session.
What is the difference between low-top and high-top boxing shoes?
The collar height. A low-top sits at or just above the ankle bone and leaves the foot free for pivots and footwork. A high-top wraps several centimetres up the calf and braces the ankle, which suits boxers who plant their feet to punch.
How thick should a boxing shoe sole be?
Thin and flat. A boxing sole keeps you close to the floor so you feel the ground and pivot cleanly; a thick cushioned midsole raises the centre of gravity and costs stability.
How do you clean boxing shoes?
A damp cloth on the upper and the sole after each session. Wash the laces separately by hand, air-dry with the insole taken out, and never on a radiator: direct heat stiffens the assembly glue.
Are these boxing shoes available below EU 41?
Not on this model. For smaller sizes, the red and black strap model runs from EU 35, and the yellow one from EU 36 with half sizes.
