“Sizing: go up
Feel: Bigger toe box- comfortable cabin for feet, foot plate is flat so when on toes that extra toe spec is necessary. 100% need to tie all the way up- and find balance of how tight you tie your laces. I make small x knot on front loop thru heel loop and then finish at the front. The heel lip is not very comfortable so need to be very careful of tying top of shoe too tight- will annoy and rub you. If you don’t tie it tight it won’t bother you.
Look: these are wrestling style boots w boxing boot structure- better for nimble or explosive fighters. On feet they’re not as attractive but that bc of the room they give you and thus the higher than average comfortability (minus the heel lip)
Great colorway, doesn’t scuff easy, heel is locked and unnoticeable when using. Toe box gives space but locks feet down into the plate rather than locking around the plate on top and sides. If you have a good natural arch and don’t have cankles this is a good low boxing boot for training.
I use the hyperKO2 and Machomai 3, these fit better than machomai by a mile. These are better than HKO2 for movers I think. Haven’t used my machomais since these have arrived. Been using these daily since delivery probably have over 30 hours of training and sparring in them already.
