What are the best martial arts shoes?

I was a climber for years. The shoes you wear for this activity are very tight, and you get minimal %26#039;slippage%26#039; within the shoe. As a result of falling thousands of times, while climbing, I have to really watch my ankles/feet/knees. My practice could really benefit from some quality footwear (minimal slippage). I practice primarily internal arts (I rarely get %26#039;froggy%26#039;). It would be ideal if my practice shoes would be usable in everyday activities (walking, work, etc.). I am not concerned with %26#039;style%26#039;, just practical function.


Any ideas would be appreciated.


Thanks.

None, ALOT of martial artists practice barefoot, if your bare feet are strong, with shoes they will be even stronger!





good luck!

They work well if you wear shoes when practicing.

Reply:There are specific shoes made for martial arts, and many pracitioners practice barefoot, but I prefer Running Sneakers. These give me the right support, and are light enough to throw quick kicks. Also, I wear similar shoes around, so you have the practicality of practicing in what you might use in a real life situation.
