Mid topHalf sizesEU 38 to 44
The essentials: a mid top boxing shoe in burgundy and grey, suede-look overlays, 3 white stripes on the upper, honeycomb white sole. 10 sizes from EU 38 to 44, half sizes included: 38.5 · 40.5 · 42.5. €99, free delivery.
A whole size is 6.7 millimetres / 0.26 in of foot length. That is little on a pavement; it is a lot in a pivot: the foot slides forward, the toes hit the end, and the weight moves onto the metatarsals instead of staying on the base. A half size is 3.3 millimetres / 0.13 in — exactly the gap most ranges on the market leave out, stopping at whole sizes.
This reference offers three half sizes: 38.5, 40.5 and 42.5. If your measurement falls between two sizes, this is where it gets sorted, without making up the difference with a thick sock.
Burgundy and grey, suede look
The toe, the heel and the eyelet surround are in grey suede-look synthetic, matt and lightly grained. The rest of the upper is burgundy mesh, with mesh inserts at the sides of the forefoot. Three white stripes run diagonally across the upper section, continued by silver ribs printed on the side panel. White laces, white lining, burgundy pull loop at the back of the heel.
A white sole, and what that means
The rubber is white across the whole surface, drawn in shallow hexagonal cells. A pale compound carries little carbon black: it leaves no dark streak on a wooden floor or a light surface, which is what most municipal halls ask for. It does pick up canvas colour visibly — a wipe with a damp cloth after a session keeps it clean.
What the mid top cut changes
The upper clears the ankle bone by a few centimetres, then is cut away sharply at the back to free the Achilles tendon. In practice: the ankle is held laterally on pivots, and rising onto the toes stays free. It is the most common height in the gym, between the low top that leaves the ankle bare and the high top that runs to the calf.

Frequently asked questions
Are there half sizes?
Yes. A whole size is 6.7 mm / 0.26 in of foot length, a half size 3.3 mm / 0.13 in. That is the adjustment most ranges skip, and the one that matters in a pivot: too long and the foot slides forward, the toes hit the end and the weight moves onto the metatarsals instead of staying on the base.
Should you size up in boxing shoes?
Not on this model. The scale is in European sizes: someone who wears a 42 in town takes a 42 here. If needed, measure the length of the foot and apply (3 × length in cm + 4) / 2. If the measurement falls between two sizes, take the larger: a thin sock makes up a few millimetres, the reverse does not.
Does a white sole mark the floor?
No, and that is the point of it. A pale compound carries little carbon black, the powder that leaves dark streaks on a wooden floor or a light surface. It is what most municipal halls ask for.
How do you keep a white sole clean?
A wipe with a damp cloth after each session, on the sole and the edge. Canvas colour transfers visibly onto pale rubber, and it comes off just as easily as long as it is not left to build up.
Are boxing shoes unisex?
Yes. The fit is unisex and the scale European. The width is standard: on a wide foot, taking the next size up and working the lacing gives more comfort than forcing the tightness.
How do you look after boxing shoes?
A damp cloth on the upper and the sole after every session, laces washed separately by hand, air drying. Never on a radiator: direct heat stiffens the assembly adhesives and shortens the life of the sole.

Low tops free the ankle completely; high tops lock it to the calf. The size and foot length chart is published once on the site, on the low top page. All the models are gathered in the mid top boxing shoes collection.
