DLopez Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 NOTE: this is not an advertisement, just a commentary on a purchasing experience! I'd been searching for some nice martial arts shoes for a couple weeks, and it was hard finding something I really liked. I took a chance and purchased some shoes online, having only seen photos of them online, but I was pleasantly surprised to see they are of excellent quality for the price I paid! They are Mooto Wings (in black), and were only $50 + $7.50 shipping. They are very lightweight, and the soles are made of a very tough, durable rubber. I'm very happy with them, and just wanted to share/recommend them. One caveat though,... apparently they are like Nike shoes in that you should order a full size over what you normally wear or they might fit too small. Here's a link so you can see them for yourself: Mooto Wings I bought the black ones because my dobak is black, but they also come in white, and black on white. They even have some pretty snazzy yellow ones (IMHO), but I decided on the less expensive black ones. DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever.

DLopez Posted May 25, 2004 Author Posted May 25, 2004 Yeh, the reason I got them is because we've moved our Saturday morning classes outside to the parking lot (weather permitting), which is quite enjoyable as the classroom can get a little stuffy. Good martial arts shoes should be very light and allow you to pivot without putting undue stress on your ankles. Going barefoot in the concrete parking lot would not be comfortable at all. These shoes are very comfortable, and I highly recommended them. DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow." - James Dean
