    I've only been able to train in mine for a couple weeks, but so far so good! Got a couple other students into them as well. Cost and effectiveness beats pricy any day.

    Coming in a little late here, but I have feet like a gorilla (seriously, seriously wide feet) and I find my Feiyues a little tight around the little toe, but nothing too dramatic. I wouldn't want to go running in them for a long distance, but in the gym or for regular training I don't much notice them.

    No Feiyues for gorillas, I'm afraid

    Sorry. Remember they are Chinese made - same culture that thought up footbinding.

    Fashionista fakes

    Prada Creepers, Moncler x COMME, Shaolin Kicks & Cool Cat Snapbacks -- GEAR OF THE DAY
    By GlobalGrind Staff 18 hours 59 min ago

    KICKS
    Who: Shulong
    What: SHUs
    Where: Shulong Online
    When: Now

    GG Certified: Shulong is now the only Chinese brand in Europe to distribute the real Wushu shoe worn by the Shaolin monks and later by the masses. These very minimalistic shoes are made with three parts and then baked before it gets to you, it also features a removable insole for added comfort.

    We all know that REAL AUTHENTIC Shaolin monks where REAL AUTHENTIC FEIYUES, not Shulongs.

    Question for Gene - Martialartsmart - Feiyues - Large Sizes

    Hi Gene,

    Checked Martialartsmart.com and the largest size listed was 12 1/2. Do Feiyues come in size 14? Can I order them through martialartsmart?

    Unfortunately no

    Chinese imports have a ceiling when it comes to sizes. It's not a country of Yao Mings, so if your big and tall, it's pretty challenging to get a good fit for Chinese-made items. Even when they do offer larger sizes, they are often disproportionate. I've seen Chinese-made sample shoes (not Feiyues) that were like US 13s, but they were made too narrow to be worn by anyone with feet of that size. Sorry.

    The narrowness of size 13s is why I generally wear 14s. I've got total clown-feet. Long and wide. I never found a pair of shoes that fit in China, but a man can dream.

    I feel for ya

    Don't even get me started on Chinese shirts. I've got some awesome Shaolin shirts, but the sizing is all whacked sideways. One of my favs is super wide, like XXL, but short in the middle, like a halter. I can almost wear it. Almost.

    I know, I hate that. Got almost all my clothes in China tailor-made.

    Yea, that's the way to do it.

    Tailoring is reasonably inexpensive and usually good quality. The fabrics are pretty good too. Some of my cotton shirts from China are made from really good material.

    But that doesn't help with shoes, does it?

    No, it doesn't.

    My wife visited her parents a few months back and she was going to get me a tailor-made trench coat and a custom set of shoes.

    The coat was perfect.
    It is the best winter coat I've ever had and fits like a glove.

    The cobbler swore he could produce 14s but had to renege when he couldn't order the soles from his normal supplier.

    I see China hasn't started importing rubber in tanker size quantities yet
