Martial Art Cloth Shoes Kung Fu Tai Chi Cotton Sole Canvas Shoes Black

First impression… love them. They are so light weight and perfect for my new kung fu journey. There was a a little space when I tried them on which is good bc I plan to wear them with cotton socks when I attend classes

These are also perfect for tai chi, but be careful on smooth wood floors. The size was about right and just nice, simple cotton for a quiet walk.

These shoes are really comfortable and appear to be well-made. Unfortunately, the sizing is a bit of an issue. I usually wear men's US size 10.5-11, and the largest size they have is size 11. They are snug from heel to midfoot with no slippage, but just a bit too tight at the toes. I really wish they had maybe another size or half size larger.The bottom of the shoes are just a bit bigger than the insides of the shoes, which I think lends to their stability on the ground. As others have mentioned, these shoes are not slip-proof; definitely do not attempt to wear these on polished hardwood or tile flooring. However, if you are walking around on the type of rubber or concrete floors that a lot of gyms have, the grip is comfortable to move in without seeming too grippy.The soles of the shoes have a nice design, too. The mouth of the shoe is comfortably wide, but the elastic cloth upper helps secure your foot pretty well. These people know how to make shoes, though, again, I wish they had more size options. I'm returning mine due to sizing issues, but if you are looking for, say, indoor shoes to work on martial arts mats or gyms with rough, grippy flooring, then these shoes may work well for you and the value ($17 at the time of this writing) is decent. (Side note: I don't know if you can wash these shoes, but they'll pick up dirt really quickly as they are just cloth and elastic materials.)

I went up a full size from what I'd usually wear, and they were still extremely tight. The soles are very thick and chunky feeling, so they don't offer much flexibility either. There are other brands for this type of shoe on Amazon, and I'd suggest picking a different one.

Very good quality and price. Very comfortable.

I ordered my own size, 7 1/2, and they are more like a size 7 so too small. I have to send them back. I recommend ordering half size larger than you normally wear.

I wear these around the house as slippers. Most house slippers are too thick and cushioned, making my feet quite hot and sweaty. These shoes allow my feet to breath, while also being comfortable. The downside is of course that they...have less cushioning. This is good for me, but may not be for everyone.They are especially comfortable once they break in. I bought my normal shoe size and they fit a little snug when first purchased, but they very quickly break in and fit nicely. I'd say it's like wearing a thick soled sock.

I wanted canvas shoes for my Tai Chi class that had cotton sole. The first time I stepped on some water, less than an inch the shoes were totally soaked. It is taking more than 2 days to dry.
