When Should I replace my Boxing Shoes?Updated 3 years ago

BOXING SHOES

Boxing Shoes should be replaced every 6 months depending on frequency of use (assuming they are being used in the gym and in sparring 6 times per week.) Six times per week, 4 weeks a month, 6 months = approximately 144 rounds

Track the number of rounds you log each sparring session to get the most accurate record of minutes they are used.

Once you notice the soles breaking down, coming loose from upper portion of the shoe or the ankle support loosening, you may want to replace them to prevent potential rolled-ankles or foot injuries.

MAINTENANCE TIPS: Do not use boxing shoes and running shoes interchangeably. The lightweight sole and materials of boxing shoes are not made for hard surfaces or outdoor conditions. Using them outside of the ring or on non-padded surfaces will wear the shoes more quickly and reduce the support they provide.
