Last shoe I had were Nike (Machomais) and those need to be ordered 1 size bigger. They fit really thin. I really liked them too, nice and light and easy to break in. But when they do start to fall apart, they fall hard and fast haha. Like everything fell apart all at once.

Before that owned Adidas and they were a good shoe too. Much like the current Box hog version. Mids. Again, good mobility, okay support. And these lasted a long time. They fit pretty much same as normal shoe.

Not sure if that helps at all, but that's been my experience.
Hey man,

That actually helps a lot man.. it's crazy that I've spent soo much time researching boxing shoes (within my budget). I hate buyers remorse.

So I'd rather just spend the time researching and buy the right shoe and fit once, rather than regret it after.

I actually called everlast today and the lady had no idea if I should order a size bigger or not without looking at my feet lol.

I've now added another 2 shoes to my choices, and eliminated the Lonsdales..

btw, off topic, but where do you train at Young Blood. I noticed that you're in Ontario as well.
