Men's Martial Art Kung Fu Tai Chi Rubber Sole Canvas Shoes

These are the classic kung fu slippers I was buying thirty years ago. Light and comfortable, with enough sole to protect your feet from rocks and sticks if you practice outside. They do run a little small, you should order a size larger. I did, and the fit was good.

I remember these from decades ago; if you dislike being barefoot for martial arts and such, most will let you wear these to class. Or just a light, cool shoe for around the house. Glad to see they're still around.

Fits well Economical Liner comes out, but still works well

I wore these in the 80s and happy to find again give that barefoot feel and a great price

I have worn Chinese Kung Fu shoes for well over 50 years, and always the same type: woven cotton uppers w/soft brown rubber soles. These shoes, although shown as I described and pictured, are not that. These shoes are some type of synthetic and very stiff upper w/white plastic soles. They are uncomfortable to wear and the hard plastic soles do not grip or give any traction at all. They were returned the same day they arrived and I will not trust this company again. For the record, shoes of this style when used for Tai Chi, should allow you to float across the floor, lightly and not clomp like you were wearing horseshoes. Just my opinion, nothing more.

Ok, let me start by telling you the reason why I’m only giving these 3 stars. They arrive with a rubber smell that can only be described by walking into a car tire manufacturing factory. And it’s not just a slight odor either. I don’t really mind a slight rubbery smell, but these have an odor that is so strong that it is almost dizzying. And let me tell you that it took a couple months for the smell to subside to a faint aroma, but is still there mostly on warmer days. Other than the smell, these are great. I use mine as a comfortable house shoe or something I can toss on just to go out in the yard or check the mail. They are light weight, very comfortable, and flexible enough that you could actually fold them up into a roll. I will say that they have no arch support at all, so you may want to add some type of cushioning insole like I did. For the price, I think they were a good deal. I haven’t had any issues with them ripping or issues with the sole coming unglued from the shoe itself. I have even tossed mine in the washer before and the only thing I noticed after this was that they lost a little of the black dye and got a slight faded look. Not a big deal for use as a house shoe. But something to know if you want them to keep that dark black coloring for longer. As for that thin sole , they have a surprising amount of grip while walking around, but you can feel every little thing you step on. So once again, adding a cushion insole is probably a good idea. And the shoe sizing was almost perfect. To be honest here, if it wasn’t for that strong smell that lasted for a long time, I would have given these 5 stars. Would I suggest these to other people? That depends. If you can get past that month or two of car tire odors, or if you want to buy them and leave them in the closet for a month or so till it subsides, then yes, these would be a good buy. But if you are planning to wear these on day one, you might want to rethink putting these in your shopping cart and look for a different brand. I can tell why they are marketing these as a martial arts type shoe, cause the smell alone will drop somebody quicker than Bruce Lee. Just imagine an old Kung fu flick where a master shows up wearing these and Is easily able to disorientate and dizzy his opponents by the smell of his shoes. He would be known for his (Skunken Master) skills. A challenge even IP Man would try to avoid.

Material de buena calidad, solo enviaron una talla más de la solicitada.

I looked around for "alternate" travel shoes... I usually travel with boots, but I love having semi-formal "slippers" to wear inside the hotel room, or to the breakfast buffet or whatever. These fit the bill well. They're black cotton, so...... be careful because they can get dusty/dirty pretty easily, but they're pretty straightforward to rinse/hand-wash. I'm sure you could throw them in the actual washer, but I already had a little issue with the inner shoe liner becoming loose/unglued (dumped some appropriate glue into it and it's working fine). They're not-quite-formal, are a little unusual if you look closely, but don't stand out and are pretty forgettable as far as shoes go. Their comfort isn't great for long bouts of walking, but for 1-2 hours at a time, they're not bad at all.

Great slippers, fit true to size, very comfortable 👌 👍

Los buscaba desde hace tiempo, los usaba hace muchos años, son cómodos para andar en casa o caminar poco.

Nice light slipper to wear in the summer

These fit perfect and are exactly what I was hoping they would be e.g original karate shoe. Also price point was good and a quick delivery.

Very light and comfortable to walk.
