Low-topHook-and-loop strapHalf sizes
The essentials: low-top boxing shoes in yellow and black, black mesh upper, matt yellow panels, hook-and-loop strap above the instep. 13 sizes, EU 36 to 44.5 with half sizes at 36.5, 38.5, 42.5 and 44.5. €69, free shipping.
One full size is about 6.7 mm of foot length — unnoticeable on a street shoe, obvious in the first round of a boxing shoe, where either the toes touch or the heel moves in the counter.
Half sizes change the fit
This grid offers four half sizes: 36.5, 38.5, 42.5 and 44.5. If your measurement falls between two sizes, that is the most direct answer, and one of the few grids in the collection to offer it.
What it looks like
Wide-mesh black upper over the forefoot and collar, matt yellow panels on the toe, sides and heel, with a white and silver flash applied on each side. The black strap crosses the instep. The outsole is black with wide yellow pads under the forefoot and the heel, separated by a flex zone. From behind, the heel counter is black and the heel yellow.

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 if you are between two boxing shoe sizes?
Take the half size: this grid offers 36.5, 38.5, 42.5 and 44.5. Failing that, size up rather than down — a boxing shoe should be snug, not short.
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 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.
Can you run or skip in boxing shoes?
Skipping, yes. For road running, a cushioned running shoe is the right tool; a boxing sole is deliberately thin.
How do you keep yellow boxing shoes bright?
The yellow panels are matt and smooth: a damp cloth after the session brings the colour back, including on the toe, the part that meets the floor on sliding steps. Thirty seconds of care and it holds season after season.
