Boxing Shoes and Workout Shoes 

Finally a video about something so basic yet so important!!!

My man!! Honestly you should be doing commercials for a sports shoe company. Well done and informative.

top notch video. every other video is some "expert" reading the description off of the box. you are actually giving us important information gathered from years of experience. liked and subscribed.

Four years has passed and still relevant! I followed the original advice and purchased Mizuno Hurricane. They had a flat insole and were very low to the ground. Hurricanes supported me perfectly through pivots and lateral movements for about two years. But it's time for them to retire. Since Mizuno had discontinued Hurricane and they are nowhere to find in my size, I had tried their other volleyball shoes. It's not the same. Mizuno raised a heel and added more cushion - which made them better for volleyball but less suitable for boxing. Mizuno new models are more narrow as well (issue for those with flat foot). For the record, the Mizuno Wave Hurricane successor is Wave Lightning. I've got Yonex Poweר Cushion 65Z3. And boy, do I love it. It's very supportive (while soft), flat (no arch) and super low to the ground. For those of your that have a flat foot, the best choice will be a Yonex Power Cushion 65Z3 WIDE. Great thank you goes to the author of this video as it is still extremely helpful even after so many years :)

I use wrestling shoes for everything (sparring, working out, etc.) and they work just fine

there should be a youtuber like you for everything in the world. life would be sooo easy

finally i got the reason i feel so bad when i had my running shoes on in the ring

I recently picked up boxing as a 50 yr old trying to get into shape. The club I joined is more of a Muay Thai club and I trashed my right foot because I went barefoot. Now I am suffering from plantar fasciitis but I must say those sole supports are really awesome!!

This is the video I've been waiting for. Why hasn't anyone else even considered making such a video? Top quality as usual.

Great advices, as usually. Just my 5 cents - I used to train the hard way, shadow boxing with a mouth piece, running in the boxing shoes, heavy bag conditioning with a partner destabilizing it to learn landing hard no matter what and land properly - to make it all close to the real thing, and to be used to the gear. What I realized down the years, that running in boxing shoes takes tall on your knees no matter how tough your ankles and achilles are, because running on a hard surface in boxing shoes with little to no cushioning they provide does harm your knees

Hey mate, I never thought about using court shoes before, but after watching this I tried a few pairs on today and wow. Just finished my first session in the ASICS Gel Rocket 9 and my feet are already thanking me. Very big upgrade on my Vans/ Converse Chucks. Thanks for the advice

I just wear hyperdunks. They’re great. Hugs my foot, lightweight and the grip you feel when moving and throwing is unmatched by traditional boxing shoes.

ANY video by this guy is legit, keep it up brohammer

Absolutely phenomenal knowledge of foot gear. I had the same wrestling shoes in high school and they lasted me about 2.5 years of rigorous training before I had bought a new pair for college. Anyway great videos and nice honesty. Really the best channel out

At the start i used old sneakers with a flat sole and damn, i had problems with my feet. I later changed to running shoes and it is sooo much better! The shock absorbtion in those running shoes is really amazing. I can train harder and longer without pain in my feet.

Excellent video and informative 🥊

Love this guy big fan

Came here for boxing shoes, got the much more than that. I now know what to look in a shoe. That heel support, and insole part being deeper, side support all in all, 12/10. Awesome.

Futsal shoes are great too. Flat sole, heel counter, lateral support.

I do not care who you are sponsored by, I really do not, but I enjoy watching the videos. Thank you for the tip.

Use the Everlast or Title boxing shoes, they work like a dream

You Sir are the most informative when it comes to boxing and jump roping!

Solid details on the shoes I was looking for to train in. I was concerned about ruining my boxing boots and wanted a shoe that’s closer to that feel with durability. I appreciate you brother thank you for your wisdom. I will navigate my way through those shoes you recommended.

A while back Nike made a very bulked up wrestling training shoe. Full sole. Really could take a beating. Shoes lasted 3 years of hard training. I dont know the model and never found them again.

As a badminton player I didn't know the shoes can be use for sparring .

do one on headgear please!

Thanks I just bought a adidas badminton shoe because of your recommendation :)

I can't tell you how helpful your channel has been since I have started to box. Keep up the great work man!

Very interesting about the badminton shoe, makes sense. I just got my yonix's today, the exact same type. Trying them on i can feel the support and agility these shoes offer. Greatfull for the tip man! Keep up them vids ;)

Thanks for this!

Awesome info. You can really see that you speak from years of experience. Thanks for taking the time to share!

I buy wrestling shoes. I can't even find boxing shoes in my size. They don't make many over something like size 12. ASIC wrestling shoes are much more flat than the Nikes that he demonstrated, and have nice round spots on all of the ball points of the foot. I like the ASIC Snapdown since they are only $50. They do seem tight but will widen with a bit of use. They are really lightweight and have great ankle support and decent arch support if you do a lot of footwork, and I NEVER wear them outside. If I train outside I use a running shoe or something else. They have plenty of other models but I think that the ASIC Snapdown is an all around good show for boxing and is fairly economical.

keep the vids coming JT, I enjpy every one and with me being new to training and the sport overall, I cant tell you how helpful these have been for me this passed year.

I've been using my training shoes for my Muay Thai training. I went through three pairs in 2 years. I'm looking into using badminton shoes instead. Thank you!

This cleared up a lot of confusion for me, thank you

Awesome video! I’ve been having knee pain when using my cross training shoes for boxing training. I switched to running shoes and had zero lateral support. This video helped me allot. Thank you!

6:50 for arch problems.

Thumbnails on another level 💯 🔥

Good lecture about boxing shoes

don't know why this video still hit only 70k views, but this video is phenomenal

I was looking for this on your channel like a few days ago, but it obviously didn't exist!!!

I do muaythai, and the canvas ring floors are too shap for my tender feet. I've found the badminton shoes to be perfect solution for training muaythai. They grip the canvas floor well without slippering

Thanks a lot JT! As always, this video is a big help.

So... Badminton shoes at the best option for in the gym, working the bags etc?

thanks coach, ill be going to a boxing gym soon wish my career luck coach thanks for teaching me boxing

Damn was hoping for that shout out. Great video coach!

Love the thumbnail.

What about jump roping? what shoe whould you recommend?

I'm an Asics man, I found that putting in a decent inner sole makes them last much longer. Most runners say you need to replace trainers in 2 years even if hardly used but a decent replacement insole seems to make them like new again. I've done everything from sprinting to Marathon distance and still do regular 10K & 10 milers.

Kudos for making this video

Great video that gets to the point. 🙏

thanks for the tips,,, my running shoes lasted me 4 years,,, ripped on the sides now by the small toes, but still good for light workouts

Fantastic and informative video! Love that you touched on other types of shoes and their pros and cons.

I'm a 33-year-old mom who started boxing a few months ago and this is the type of shit I need to see

Great videos recently brother really appreciate it !

respectttt..always value your time and advise

man i have learned so much from these videos!!

love your content bro! thank you, greetings from Vienna

So I need about 20 different pairs of shoes, got it.

Still waiting to see you in some fighters corner in a PPV fight you are a great coach!

for me the key is the shoe should have proper support on the outside of the toes...because as a traditional boxer your right foot you push off from sideways and normal trainers split down the outer edge

Thanks for this! Custom insoles are a must for me in whatever I’m doing.

Very Nice!!👍

Awesome Timeless Video thank you.

Thanks for your vids, they help a lot!

This video is excellent and very helpful!!!!

Thank you Jason! Love the video's. Right now I use Reebok running shoes as my indoor shoe. So I will be looking into a new pair for sure, because these have a high back for shock absorption.

Extremely useful, thanks!

Awesome review! Thanks 🥊🥊

JT killing it!.. maybe a video of cutting weight before a match? Your opinion on suana suits and what not.

This helps a lot

Great video, thanks man!

Tennis/badminton shoes make sense because they move side to side

Oh gosh this is a great video! Beginner equipment advice I've needed for couple of months 😂 I use Hokas to run, I get shin splints no matter what shoe I use :/ I have 16oz everlast consumer grade gloves. I do go to a club with rubber floors and do NOT use running or causal athletic running style shoes because that extra foam on the sole edge will catch doing ring circles or any lateral motion. I'm definently gong to try some indoor court shoes, if this pandemic stops. It's def killing gyms and clubs in my city but a couple of them might survive it. The landlords are going to hurt lots of people because apartment dwellers aren't covered from eviction, and 3 million people are going to be on unemployment for months, which is half normal wages. Hang in there! 🥊🙋

Very informative, thank you. Was curious what I should use since I do a lot of training outdoors on concrete and didn't want to ruin my boxing boots doing that.

thanks coach .it doesnt matter what you wear but why you wear it .we must deserve to wear the boxing shoes say thanks to JT for helping us to do this and subscribe guys...............

Thank you so much!

Switched to lightweight running shoe (from boxing shoes) for training. Jump seamlessly from treadmill for boxing bag floor and skipping to ring for sparring. Boxing shoe are awful for overall training unless you are doing all your work in the ring.

20 years! Damn! How many PHD's in boxing is that bro ?

Thank you so much

I use mizuno wave universe 4 for training . They’re an old pair but I hadn’t used them until just recently. They’ve been sitting in my closet for a while. They’re awesome. One of the lightest shoes when it came out and very durable. Feels like I’m barefoot.

Didn't know you were from The Six! Represent!

as soon as you pointed out the hard heel plastic all i cud think about was wheel kicking someone with it

i use combat boots

Don't have a boxing shoe nearby to feel what they're like but im looking to see what the boxing community thinks of using boxing boots just as casual sneakers, I saw a real slick pair I kinda wanna use for the gym or walking around in but would want to know what the experts think.

Watching this because my foot hurt with my running shoes during boxing class.

That was the best video about Boxing Shoes that actually did not have any recommendations about actual boxing shoes. Outstanding ability to land all the right punches where it matters.

everlast shoes are best

Can you do a video for best gloves to use?

Thank you

I love your videos very in depth!

I find casual shoes, great for boxing training, I has a pair of adidas with flat sole and thats what I used, Im thinking now of getting some lacoste

can you do a review of the new everlast PIVT shoe, they’re supposed to be a hybrid shoe, a shoe made for boxing and also for gym use, so you don’t have to keep changing shoes.

Nice video, pretty useful

ive found that basketball shoes help with support to the ankle and achillies when shadow boxing and bag work

I'm really thankful for this video. Since training for boxing I've noticed how fast running shoes wear out. Lots of great info here!

for training i prefer using just socks because they just make you fly but sparring i use the light weight boxing shoes

I honestly train with the bag while being barefoot, its not an issue actually

In my time we just put some ankle straps. Nowadays people put too much focus on the equipment instead of getting stronger in the feet and ankles.

Awsoooome thank you coach 👍
