why do boxers wear boots/shoes ??

[Howlin Mad Missy]

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

yes there is

25 mins on your back
36 mins on your feet

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.
