Great kickboxing shoes

[fit44]

I just bought these shoes for kickboxing.

I have to do cardio workouts in my bedroom(for space) on thick carpet.
I love my Rykas for step, but I found they stick too much during kickboxing. I was having problems pivoting.
My boys took tae kwon do for several years and these puma resembled the shoes they wore during class. They feel like a heavy duty ballet slipper.
They feel great and now I can pivot with ease

OMG! Cynthia I have been looking form SOMETHING like this for EVER! I have the same issue as you with the thick carpet in my workout room and I'm always worried that I'm gonna twist something (other than my torso) with my shoes I have, and haven't been able to find much locally that have pivot circles or not as much tread! these look perfect! I just hope they work for small WIDE feet!

thanks for the suggestion!

Ryka sells a shoe like that. Here is the link. I know Tracey Staehle wore this shoe in her kickboxing workout StrikeZone. I don't have these but the picture of those Puma's reminded me of these Ryka's.

Dani,

The Puma looks narrow because the tread is small, but they are medium width. If you are a true wide width, I'm not sure they will fit. Oh, and they are men's sneakers.


Toni,
The Rykas look good, but the Puma's have a lot less tread.sole. I'm not sure the Rykas would work quite as well on thick carpet. I was looking for a tennis shoe that was close to a ballet slipper and the Puma's wer pretty close.
