Good savate shoes - Best shoes for savate

If you are training savate more than just testing if it's good sports for you, you most likely want to buy savate shoes. Savate shoes are same shoes as any boxing or kick-boxing shoes. You don't have to buy your shoes before your first savate training sessions but usually savate shoes are needed when you start practicing kicks using more power or to the higher levels. Their main differences to the general indoor sports shoes are: they should protect your toes better and they should rise higher to protect your ankle.

Everyone has very different feet so I'm not going to give you any other savate shoe advices than test and try several shoes before you buy your own pair of shoes. When you test your savate shoes pay attention to these two things:

• How well does the shoe fit and keep your toes together. This is difficult to explain but good savate shoe should protect your toes and keep them tightly together without being uncomfortable or too tight. This decreases the risk that you damage or break your toe bones when you kick. Breaking your toe bones is one of the injury risks in savate.
• Good savate shoe has very difficult task to protect your ankle without being too tight. Savate shoe should be tight enough to protect but let your ankle to move almost all moves as it does without a shoe. This dilemma is not easy to solve. If you have tight shoes that grip your ankle tightly they may protect your ankle but the downside is that you cannot move your foot as you should in savate. Good savate shoe is the tightest of those shoes that don't limit the ankle movements significantly.

There are several good savate or boxing shoe brands. At the moment I wear Rival shoes but Everlast, SDI and many others are very good. Don't think about the brand but the fit to your feet.

Cheapest savate or boxing shoes

When I wrote about the boxing gloves and hand wraps I wrote that AliExpress is one possibility to find the cheapest hand wraps and boxing gloves. For shoes I wouldn't recommend AliExpress or actually any web-shop because you cannot test the fit to your feet. You can find cheap boxing shoes on AliExpress and they may be ok quality but how can you be sure they fit your feet well? This is the reason why I never buy boxing shoes online but if you want to take the risk of badly fitting shoes then you can go and search cheap boxing shoes from AliExpress, seen link-banner below:
