why do boxers wear boots/shoes ??

[Fenster]

If you spend 12 x 3 minute rounds on that surface in bare feet you would have no skin left

5 x 5 = 25 mins
12 x3 = 36 mins

not a massive difference

The styles are very different. Where we place and transfer weight. If you've ever boxed all you need to do is look at your back foot wear in the big toe area. I've seen brand new shoes on some people get worn right thru from sparring in as little as a month.

just my thoughts, but i fought taekwondo for a bit, and we did not wear shoes for training or for fights. Training was on mats or floorboards, and lasted for 2 hours. Torque and power created by a turning kick, i am convinced is higher than from a punch, and you twist your boy 180 degrees as you throw it.

never had any feet problems, and never slipped over. But the soles of my feet were tough as f*** after training 2 years!

Theres thoughts that the modern shoe helps you to get more purchase and hit harder than the old leather soled ones when you had to step into a metal tray of powder to stop you from slipping.
