It is aimed at boxers training several times a week on bags, pads and in the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoxing is played on the balls of your feet with constant pivoting. The wrong shoe — anything with a cushioned running sole — grabs the floor and twists the knee instead of letting it turn. Counter is built for the ring, the bag and the mat: thin, flat, and free to rotate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePivot, not grip.\u003c\/strong\u003e A thin, flat outsole with a smooth pivot point under the ball of the foot lets you turn without the shoe catching and loading your knee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnkle support without bulk.\u003c\/strong\u003e A mid-cut collar braces the ankle for lateral movement while staying light enough to feel the floor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClose, locked fit.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lacing runs low over the instep so the foot cannot slide forward when you push off a punch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreathable synthetic and mesh upper with a reinforced toe, on a thin rubber outsole with minimal cushioning by design.

There should be a finger's width at the toe and no heel lift. Wear the wraps or socks you actually train in when you try them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir them out after every session; gym shoes trap sweat and the lining is the first thing to fail. Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to keep the pivot surface clean — dust and rosin reduce the release you need. Never put them in a washing machine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aoraki","offers":[{"title":"38","offer_id":67552706429156,"sku":"VS-18-BU-38","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"39","offer_id":67552706461924,"sku":"VS-18-BU-39","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40","offer_id":67552706494692,"sku":"VS-18-BU-40","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"41","offer_id":67552706527460,"sku":"VS-18-BU-41","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"42","offer_id":67552706560228,"sku":"VS-18-BU-42","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"43","offer_id":67552706592996,"sku":"VS-18-BU-43","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"44","offer_id":67552706625764,"sku":"VS-18-BU-44","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45","offer_id":67552706658532,"sku":"VS-18-BU-45","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"46","offer_id":67552706691300,"sku":"VS-18-BU-46","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"47","offer_id":67552706724068,"sku":"VS-18-BU-47","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5508\/1444\/files\/A59A7920.jpg?v=1790460879","url":"https:\/\/aorakisport.com\/products\/aoraki-boxing-shoes-vs-18-blue","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
