    Default Boots

    Boxers use to wear the long boots with laces all the way over the ankles, now we see less and less of them. Instead boxers are wearing trainers. Is this because the ring surface is different with all the advertising? Or are they uncomfortable and outdated?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think it has something to do with style, the long boots are very light and comfortable so style
    it must be.!

    Slaves to fashion. You know what I miss? The old resin boxes and how they'd scuff up the soles when they were still made of leather. Everybody would slip on the Budweiser logos in the center of the ring.

    They're not trainers mate. Soles are exactly the same. You just have hi tops and low tops now.

    Its part style and part mobility at the ankle
