Customer Rating: Summary: Good kung fu shoes Comment: These shoes are excellent for both kung fu and wushu and working out on carpet or concrete - which is what they were designed for. I would not advise them for running, as the sole does not have much padding. They are excellent for any martial arts requiring a wide range of foot motion or very low stances (like karate/Northern style kung fu/wushu) because they leave the ankles uncovered, allowing a large range of ankle flexibility. They're also good because the flat sole keeps you from pronating while doing kicks or being in low stances, which can sprain or strain an ankle.
They do tend to get holes and splits along the big toe or heel after about six months of working out 5-6 days a week. However, for the price, I highly recommend them. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent and Comfortable Shoe! Comment: I do not study martial arts or wear the shoes as intended; however, I do wear these shoes nearly every day and have for about two years. I love these shoes. I have worn through six pairs so far (straight through the soles), yet I continue to buy them. The main reason is because they are incredibly comfortable. If worn indoors or rarely they would certainly be durable enough, but I wear them outside, every day, in the streets of New York, winter and summer. They really are a great shoe: comfortable, inexpensive, nice-looking and they have great traction. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice fit Comment: I love them and they are very useful when practing on gravel or concrete. They will stick to matts or wood. Good traction but sometimes to good. Good for stances but not for fluid movement like in capoeria. Customer Rating: Summary: Very good value Comment: Well made and comfortable, very light. A little sticky for Tai Chi but still outstanding. Shipping was high but at least they shiped UPS 2nd day. Customer Rating: Summary: Return policy unacceptable Comment: This shoes run smaller to normal american shoes. I used the chart that they provided to select the size, but they didn't fit. They are requesting me to pay for the shipping cost.
