Right now I have the Asics that I ordered from Winning awhile back. Personally, I prefer using wrestling shoes.

If I'm just hittin' the bags or mitts I prefer using regular running shoes or cross-trainers. The boxing shoes are not really good for the feet and legs especially if you're skippin' rope, there's not enough cushion on 'em.

I only wear boxing shoes for sparring because they're much lighter than regular shoes.

I pretty much just go with what is comfortable for me. It doesn't even need to be a boxing shoe. Just whatever feels best on my feet. I figure if I feel good I'll perform better.

good point that i didn't clear up: i'm gonna use the shoes inside a ring only. i know that the boxing/wrestling shoes don't have any cushioning at all, so they'd kill your joints

i have adidas boots, i forgot the name, but they're all leather, and they were cheaper, on sale because of my big ass feet.

usually go with the playoff 8's or what ever shoe i have on. I rarely wear my boots because it gets annoying lacin them up every day.
