    I wear these as street shoes and love being able to feel the ground. They do quite well for traction on hikes, though on very smooth floors, you will slip around a little. Can't use them for my Qi Gong practice on a wood floor, for that reason. It helps that I live in a dry climate: if you get them wet, they soak right through to your socks and take forever to dry. Sure, they wear out, but they last pretty long for the price, IMO. I buy several pairs at a time.

    these are exellent shoes, if you know what you are getting. I seriously regret the slim sole in the forefoot. They would be so great otherwise. For people with slim feet.

    This is my first order from this store and I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone. They arrived a full 6 days early and they are very comfortable. order about a half size smaller than what you wear for good fit.

    I always wear these shoes around the house and sometimes even outside. If I lose these shoes or can't find them I immediately buy another pair because they are so cheap...in a good way. Worn different pairs for 5 years now and wouldn't trade them for the world.

    I just got them today, a first time buyer, and i love these shoes. I have always wanted a pair since a kid. They are made of good material fit great, and look AWESOME. Also you can't beat that price for such a good product. I will DEFINITELY be buying more in the future. You can not go wrong with these shoes.

    These shoes are very light weight, very well constructed. My shoe size is 12, but I ordered an 11 in these shoes, and they fit perfect! They don't fly or slip off during kicks!

    These are the best shoes ive ever had they don t grip well but the comfort makes up for that.i only had one problem the elastic band is wrinkled now but thats nothing to worry about.

    These are the most comfortable slippers/shoes I own. As noted in some of the reviews, the soles are cotton so they don't provide much friction on smooth surfaces (I have failed a couple of dexterity checks on our wooden floors). They are my regular house shoes. I work out in them, too - but have to beware sliding too much.

    The first time I got these, they were great. My Sifu picked me up a pair while in Calgary. They felt comfortable enough that I could walk around the house for hours-on-end and forget I was wearing them. Don't get these wet. I happened to walk across the street wearing these after some heavy rainfall, and they were ruined. That was clearly my fault, though. After purchasing three more pairs the same size, they didn't feel as good as the pair I had owned (and ruined) before. Perhaps I just need to wear them a little more to break them in. As long as you're not practicing on a slippery surface, you should be quite impressed.

    For Wing Chun, I've been switching back and forth from wrestling shoes to running shoes and I've had some problems from turning on my heels to my horse stance at times. With these shoes, the first thing I noticed is the dramatic improvement on the wooden dummy, as they require alot of pivoting. I feel very light on these shoes, as if I'm not even wearing a pair, but the one drawback like what others mentioned on here is on slick surfaces. If you're big on footwork however, I don't think there's a substitute, especially at this price.

    I ordered two pairs a couple months back. Since I had the traditional Chinese ones before when I was in China, I know what they should be like. These showed up just the way I thought they should be. I wear them everywhere, walking, running, kungfu, whatever. They stick to your feet and you don't feel them most of the time. One caution though, you don't want to get them wet, especially in the rain.

    Not only are these shoes perfectly comfortable but they are the perfect fit for me! They allow ease of movement, comfort and perfect design! I love this shoe and will purchase many more in the future.

    I wear size 12 and these shoes simply will not stay on my feet. However, they are perfect for use with sparring kicks. I don't want to go barefoot in the dojo but sparring kicks won't fit over my regular MA shoes (Discipline low-tops). But these shoes are perfect. The kicks hold them securely on my feet and they give me added traction and protection on the mat.    

    Love these shoes

    Had pairs of these when I was young with both style (woven and plastic soles) and was happy to stumble across them. Now I'm buying them for the wife and kids!

    I got these shoes after purchasing the rubber soled and these are much better quality. They also don't slip off when you execute a turning technique. One thing I advise buying one size smalled so they don't fly off on front kicks.

    The Kung-fu shoes are the bomb! They fit better than any other shoes I have used before. They are very high quality, and I don't foresee tearing these up any time soon. They are a great price and they were shipped faster then I expected. I'll definitely buy some more soon.

    I would not wear anything else. The shoe is better then being barefoot!! It also does not interfere with natural balance as other shoes might.

    As previously posted it is a durable shoe but does not provide any grip on slick surfaces. I've also found that the sides of my foot slide off of the sole when pivoting making it difficult to balance. While it may be cheap I will not purchase another pair.    

    Well made, comfortable, and inexpensive...

    Great shoes for the price, comfort, and quality. I have a pair of both the rubber and plastic sole shoes and the cotton sole is of much better quality.

    The one draw-back was previously posted: the cotton sole shoes are not great on any slick surface (hard wood, tile, linoleum).

    I bought these after the plastic sole shoes limited some of the turning movements while practicing on the industrial carpet at my kwoon. I have found that these shoes work well on that surface.

    This is a solid product and you can't beat the price.    

    Very comfortable, great for practice

    I love these shoes. The price is stunning, and they are very well made. I thought the cotton soles would be very soft, but it is about 1/4 inch thick, very tightly woven layers, and it harder than you might expect cotton to be, but very very comfortable. I've been using them to practice every night for a week, and they show no signs of wearing down. Even if they did wear out in a month, they're so cheap that replacing them would be a snap! The only thing you should watch out for is practicing on a slick surface (linoleum, tiling, hard wood, etc) because they are slippery. For comparison, I'm sure everyone has slid across their kitchen in their socks. That's how it feels. Carpet, dojo padding, concrete, grass, dirt, everything else has wonderful grip. They also offer rubber soled shoes that I assume have better grip on slick surfaces, but I have not tried them. Just be careful on anything slick, don't hurt yourself. The only thing I could suggest to improve this product is a small draw string to tighten the back of the shoe against your ankle and keep it from slipping off. It has flown off once or twice on very fast snapping front kicks. All in all a great product.
