Low-topPremium
The essentials: low-top boxing shoes, black ventilated mesh upper with smooth panels, gold logo and monogram. Clear midsole unit visible under the heel and the forefoot. 10 sizes, EU 35 to 44 (UK 2.5 to 9.5). €99, free shipping.
A boxer's foot never lands flat. The weight travels between the ball of the front foot and the ball of the rear foot, and the heel spends most of a round off the floor.
The boxer's foot never lands flat
That is why a boxing sole is heel-less — flat from toe to heel, with no raised block at the back. A running heel would tilt you forward on every step; a flat sole keeps the stance where you set it.
What it looks like
All-black ventilated mesh with smooth panels, a gold winged logo on the side and a gold monogram at the collar. Under the shoe, a clear unit is visible at the heel and at the forefoot.

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 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.
Why do boxing shoes have no heel?
Because a raised heel tilts you forward and shifts the weight off the balls of the feet, which is exactly where a boxing stance lives. A flat sole keeps the base you set.
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.
Do these boxing shoes come in other colours?
No — black and gold is the single colourway. For a choice of colours, the five-colourway model covers it.
