  • 29.0cm

    Why are Mizuno boxing shoes only available in size 11 or smaller (29.0cm = US size 11 shoes). They're extremely expensive and only run up to that size, but why?

    Is it a cultural thing in Japan based on average shoe size or something? I'd really like to order a pair, but it's baffling as to why shoes would max out at size 11, especially when they're boxing shoes and meant for athletic people who most likely are going to have larger feet than size 11. What gives?

    I was in Japan a while ago and picked up some sweet yellow and orange Mizuno boxing shoes and yes they were 29cm and they fit just fine but in Nikes i wear a size 12.
    The shoes were comfortable and nice and snug around the ankles for great support but the souls dont last very long and i was bummed out when i had to retire them because every different gym i went to someone would say something about my shoes.
    But to answer your question it is because it is a Japanese brand and of course they are going to cater to the general population and the general population in Japan do not wear anything over 29cm.
    just like in Mexico it is hard to find a size 12 anywhere except the border states and even then it is not easy
