Best Shoes For Training

[kmman]

I know this may have been beaten to death but what is the shoe you wear to train? I currently have Everlast, Aisics, Discipline but been wearing regukar sneakers or the Everlast.

I to ask what you didn’t like about the disciplines.

I just got my first pair of Jaewoo Mid’s on Monday and I really like them so far. I get good ankle support and good kick support as well as not to much grip for round kicks. Before that I wore New Balance Cross Trainers and just had way to much grip on the mats for doing effective Round Kicks and the like.

I use Discipline high-tops – they are holding up so far for the 2nd year (2-3 times/week).

Re: Best Shoes For Training

My Disciplines are too small so my son uses them. Im thinking of buying another pair so thats why I ask. Everlasts are great but they are not good when doing a lot of kicking because they arent made for that…great for footwork. I think Disciplines should give you a bit of protection…gonna order new pair.

They seem to run small. Can anyone tell me if you ordered larger size and larger by how much?

Re: Best Shoes For Training

I’ve been wondering about this topic too; I notice a lot of women in our Training Center wearing Puma’s….anyone else where those, or what’s the general consensus? All I know is my cross trainers have a serious grip on the mat, which makes it an added challenge to execute some moves in class. :dunno:

Everywhere I looked said that the sizes run small. I ordered mine a half size larger than my normal shoe size and they fit perfectly. I normally wear a size 9 shoe and ordered the 9.5 and that did the trick for me.

Re: Best Shoes For Training

I ordered a pair a couple weeks ago,a full size bigger than I am, and they fit well.

I ordered mine from Quest Martial Arts Supply online and they had some of the best prices:

The Discipline website has links for Authorized dealers at:

Re: Best Shoes For Training

That’s cheaper than I paid….I got them at amazon for about 69>I guess I should have looked around a little more.

Re: Best Shoes For Training

I just ordered the Disciplines. Thanks for the info, folks. I’ll let you know how they are after I get them (later this week).
