    Ringstar Sparring Shoes

    Ok, I just received my sparring shoes from Ringstar. They are the Super Maxx sparring shoes. When I tried them on, they fit perfectly however, I look like I am wearing clown shoes! lol When I look at myself in the mirror, they just look big on me! I guess it is all of the extra padding that they have on the inside that makes them look bulky on me. lol

    Anyone else have the same feeling as I do??

    why wear them at all?

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    Well with the shin/instep guards I have, they dont cover the toes. As of late, I have been injuring my toes.

    wear them with gi pants. It won't shpow as much. Don't wear shorts, and for God's sake, don't wear one of those
    "Game of Death/Last Dragon/Kill Bill" track suits.

    -unless you have a bodacious bod.
    Did Uma Thurman have big feet? Nobody noticed.

    um, busted toes come with the territory same as busted fingers. you do have muscular control over your toes, get them in position so as not to be hurt and send the ghey shoes back and buy a roll of electrical tape.



    Uma does have kinda big feet and slightly gnarly toes...which I would gladly...well, I'll just let you run with that one on your own.

    What else can you say about a woman considerate enough to have a name so easy to pronounce while you're making your 'O' face?

    well, besides risking a roasting by Joan Rivers when you step onto the red carpet, how do they feel?
    How do they work as compared to other sparring gear?
    How is the grip on the sole,
    how is the padding,
    the weight,
    are they durable for everyday workouts, or should they be left in the gym bag just for sparring?
    Do you reccommend them?
