Big boxing shoes

[Dennis]

I'm not using it as a metaphor. I'm really talking about the large sized boxing shoes. It used to be that I could find boxing shoes in sizes 14-16 without a problem. Now there are very few boxing shoes/boots that come in sizes larger than 13. I have found a few 14's and a couple of 15's, but absolutely no 16's. Does anyone else have this problem? Has anyone found a source for sized 16 boxing shoes/boots?

I was actually talking to a guy about this the other day. He has a size 16 foot and couldn't find boxing shoes. I know Winning makes custom boxing shoes, but they're very expensive. They make the Klitschkos' boxing shoes.

Thanks for the info about Winning. It would be nice to find some that cost less than $150+.

Dennis I just bought a pair of classics from a company in TX they get them from Mexico. They might have large sizes. 11s were $99, but they weren't for me. I would need 16s. You know what they say......big feet................................................big shoes.

Zappos has this wrestling shoe in size 17. It also comes in a variety of colors. It has a split sole which might be a problem but you could look around their website or even give them a call about finding boxing/wrestling shoes in certain sizes. Their customer service is very helpful.

Yep, I hear that one Hal. I've heard a few other sayings too! Personally, I only need sized 13 or 14 shoes. The 16's are for Jordan and the 14's are for Niall.

I may buy some wrestling shoes if I have to, but I prefer the taller boxing shoes. Zappos is a good company and I have purchase quite a few pairs of regular shoes from them. I'll call them and see about the boxing shoes.

I wear size 16's and I get wrestling shoes (same thing but even cheaper) off www.eastbay.com
