2/7/2007 10:46:53 PM I purchased these shoes, and got them with in 3 business days, pretty good deal! The only thing is that the shoes do not grip well on hardwood and linoleum flooring, on the latter it scuffs, and hardwood it just slips around, my sifu said to sand them down, and maybe add some adhesive to the bottom.

2/20/2007 5:18:27 PM I am very impressed with these shoes. They are very light and comfortable. I'm an 11 wide and I usually wear 12's, but I bought 11's because I didn't want them to be loose at all. I've had them for a few days and they fit great. They do smell funny and I had to scuff the soles a little, because they were really slippery on my hardwood floors. I love them. I don't actively practice any martial arts; I do mostly bodyweight calisthenics (Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning) and some of the stretching and conditioning I remember from my old Isshinryu Karate class I took in college. I can't find a better shoe for what I do.

great

2/27/2006 4:52:41 PM These shoes are awesome! Grippy comfy and of course as with all of KDs stuff, I got them a day and a half after the order!! I recommend the rubber ones for practicing on hard surfaces, cotton soles for mats or pads. I cant say enough about them!! They run wide so round down if you are in the middle of two sizes. Just a great shoe even for lounging around or just wearing to class.

very good

2/1/2006 8:22:52 PM This is a very good shoe and its very light. It has much grip you can move a lot with it. The only think is it just smells bad at first, but it wear off.

Great shoes. Very comfy. But MAN do they smell

10/15/2005 12:34:35 AM These are very lightweight and comfortable. The rubber still has the petroleum smell and it took a washing to make them smell better. The washing made them a little floppy, but they still are a great deal. That said, they are what they are.
I am buying 10 pair today, just so I am stocked up for the winter.

Comfy and durable!

7/1/2005 8:22:10 PM These are great kung fu shoes, perfect for tai chi too. Plus, with the rubber soles, they don't slip on the kitchen floor when you're sneaking some leftover lo mein! The ONLY downside is the weird smell the rubber soles have when you first buy the shoes--but it goes away very quickly. A great value.

ONE MORE THING before you buy.

5/28/2005 3:00:26 AM I love the shoes and appretiate the service that karatedepot has provided.
Before you purchase you should take into mind your shoes size. If you generally wear size 10 1/2 and do not have skiny feet, then size 10 should go well with you. But should you be in between size 10 and 10 1/2 and have skiny feet you should go with karatedepot's size 9. If you doubt what you should wear, go smaller then.
With this said, enjoy your shoes. I enjoy mine.

Very comfortable

5/12/2005 8:16:49 PM These shoes are very comfortable. I wear them a lot around the house and obviously when I am training. The outside of the shoe (except the bottom) and the inside is made out of cotton. The bottom is made from a rubber-plastic material. Overall, these shoes are great.

3/21/2005 10:52:35 PM These shoes fit great, plus they are very quiet if you move correctly. When i bought these shoes I thought they would be useless but i was very wrong. Very comfortable.

Good Shoes
Reviewer: yinsword90

3/6/2005 2:18:40 PM Very good quality. Excellent grip for the ground and very light. I give it three stars because they aren't the ''perfect fit.'' I ordered the appropriate size but, they still would not fit properly. Other than that, they should be excellent for practice.

Cheap but good

6/23/2004 10:35:33 PM The cool thing about them is that they actually fit my feet. I have fairly short and broad feet, and I wear a 10 and a half. So I figured I'd get a 10 since they are a stretchy material. The surface is flexible enough for you to be able to move pretty much unimpeded. It has a pretty good grip so you can use them on pretty much any surface. They're pretty quiet if you move right. Over all, a great martial arts shoe... however...
My only complaints are
1) that the entire shoe is made of roughly the same stretchy elastic-polyester material. This makes the heel act funny, because your foot doesn't settle all the way to the back of the rubber sole, it gets pushed forward by the elastic material.
2) the opening for your foot is just small enough to be a pain to put on, and just big enough to slip when you move too much.
Both of these could really be because of the size of my feet, which is kind of akward. So aside from issues due to proportion (which is always an issue on factory footwear, or clothes of any kind), these are GREAT shoes.
For a fair comparison, I also bought the cotton soled shoes. The cotton soled shoes are actually a little less flexible, due to the thickness of the soles (which are layered cotton, so it's pretty much like walking on a laminate of fibers). The shoe itself is more or less the same, but the proportions are a little different. The shoe is longer and thinner, so people like me with hobbit feet end up having a big pointy empty spot at the end of the shoe. The soles are very slick, so they are dangerous on slippery surfaces like wood or tile.
All in all, I like the rubber soled ones better, but the cotton soled ones are also quite good. At the price, if they wear out (which they will after a month of solid practice) you just replace them at their nice cheap price. If you feel like you are going to be doing a lot of practicing you might stockpile them, as the shipping would be cheaper. But try them out first before you commit to them (2.95 shipping is a good chance to try things).
