great grip and flexibility - weird fit February 18, 2008
This is the first pair of shoes I've bought with the overseas shoe size. I am normally a 9.5-9.75 US size, so I started with the 42s. They fit, but there was no adjustment left in the laces because they were fully tightened. They are a bit wider than other shoes as well, so if you have a wide foot they will be nicely snug for you. I also ordered a 41 and 43. The 41 was clearly too small and only wore them once. The 43s sorta fit, but I kinda slid around in them. A friend of mine who wears a 10.5US tried the 43s and he said they were just a hair too small.
Other than the size concern, they are perfect for martial arts, in my opinion. Just for a point of reference, I train in Shaolin Kung Fu with an personal emphasis on kicks, and they don't hinder my pivoting. If you practice on a mat or carpet the thick rubber sole will wear down in just a few months. They also are good for Tai Chi because the soles are wide, so it's easier to balance with them.
Decent shoe for the price February 10, 2008

These shoes are perfect for indoors where you have padded floors. But, you should be aware the soles of the shoes are rounded too. If you are looking for adequate arch support, this shoe is not for you. I use this exclusively for kicking bags or sparring purposes. This shoe will also make you work on your balance too because of the rounded soles. For the price of the shoe, I think its worth it.
Great shoe if you are using them for martial training, terrible walking around shoe February 3, 2008
This is a great shoe for its limited purpose, which is for martial arts training. The sole provide good traction on wooden floors and best of all you can feel the floor with your feet. This is an important aspect in all Chinese martial arts training, developing good root and sensitivity in your feet so one can develop power from the feet, through the legs, up the spine and out the hands. Accordingly, they are not constructed to offer support to your feet as additional padding will get in the way of training your legs and the smooth transition of power.
Conversely, they are a terrible shoe for anything else. They have no support for walking, hiking or anything else. They don't keep your feet warm and they don't last long if you use them as a daily shoe. They are what they are, a good shoe for indoor martial arts training.
 Awesome shoes. January 4, 2008
Very good shoes! They are comfortable and light. I mostly study tae kwon do and these shoes have a lot of traction on them, a least at first. If you are a heavyfooted kicker you may have trouble pivoting on mats in these shoes. The sole guides your weight a little more to the inside than most shoes which I think is good, but that's up to the individual. They run little big so go for the smaller end of your shoe size range. If you vary between a 44 and a 45, get the 44.
Great shoes for martial arts training or just wearing around. Best valued shoe ever.
 Very very bad shoes December 17, 2007

I bought a pair of these shoes for martial arts practice, and over my years of practice have never felt shoes so bad.
There is so much padding on the bottom of the shoe, I couldnt feel anything at all and because its made of a rubbery material it bends in the wrong way when holding stances.
This is just a cheap poor quality shoe and terrible for any purpose I can think of...even for light practice.
