Low-topPivot sole3 colourways
The essentials: low-top boxing shoes with a sole sculpted in concentric discs under the forefoot and under the heel — the two contact points of a pivot. Three colourways: white and gold, red and black, black and gold. 8 sizes, EU 40 to 47 (UK 6.5 to 12). €99, free shipping.
The movement that wears out a boxing sole is the rear-foot pivot. Every cross, every hook turns the ball of the back foot against the floor, and the sole either lets it turn or fights it.
The move that wears out soles: the rear-foot pivot
This sole answers it with two plates of concentric discs, one under the forefoot and one under the heel, with a chevron zone between them. A circular pattern turns the same whichever way you go, where straight ribs resist more in one direction than the other.
What it looks like
Smooth panels with ventilated zones and a reinforced toe. The collar opens at the back, and the lacing runs on five eyelets.

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 a pivot disc sole?
A sole whose tread is drawn in concentric circles at the two points that carry the weight — forefoot and heel. The circular pattern turns identically in both directions, so a pivot costs less effort than on straight ribs.
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.
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.
Are boxing shoes suitable for MMA, kickboxing or savate?
For kickboxing and savate, yes — the flat sole and the low collar suit both. MMA is fought barefoot, so shoes are for training only.
Which boxing shoe colourway for a club or a competition?
Black and gold is the most neutral and passes any amateur kit rule. White and gold reads best under ring lights.
