Review: Feiyue Kung Fu Shoes by Tiger Claw
These shoes are everything you could want in a kung fu shoe - lightweight, flat-soled, grippy, cheap, and pretty durable. I’ve owned several pairs of these over the course of my Hung Ga training, in both white and black. I’ve had my current pair for about 2 years and they’re just starting to wear out. I always resist getting a new pair as long as possible because breaking in a new pair is a pain in the ass. Sometimes the rubber soles of a new pair is sort of rounded and requires some wearing down/breaking in.
You can buy these online, but I wouldn’t recommend it (especially not from martialartsmart.com). I head over to one of the martial arts supply stores in Chinatown when I need a new pair because the sizing is very inconsistent. I always have to try on a few pairs before I find one that fits (if there IS a pair that even fits). Still, a great value for about $15.
