The only reason I didn't give the product a 5 star is because I got my gloves about 4 months ago and just recently the finger grip inside ripped off.. however the pluses of this product beat out the minuses a lot ...the extra padding really helps and in some cases gives about an extra inch of reach advantage on back fists, jabs etc. they are great and I really don't mind paying for these again and again if they break on me.

Its been almost a year that I've had these shoes and I'm still kicking in them. The only problem I'm having with them is that the rubber is starting to come off from the bottom exposing the internal stitching but then again I have had them for a year and this just recently happened...another issue is that the toe isn't padded as well however its padded enough to not do that much damage to anyone in a controlled environment. Also it leaves a few marks on the floor but its nothing that cant be cleaned up to easily. They grip very well but it makes it difficult for spin kicks and really anything that u would have to rotate a foot on, however if you wear them enough the grip will wear down enough to make it easier to rotate. One tip with it is definitely WEAR SOCKS, THEY WILL SMELL HORRIBLE AND STINK UP EVERYTHING IF YOU DONT!!!
