Boxing Boots/Gloves

[CharlieGarbs]

Right i've decided im going to get back in the gym at my old boxing club again, and need some advice on boots and gloves. Need some new sparring gloves, not sure what to get! (Did have some shite Everlasts). And I need some new boots, I was looking at the Everlast Hydrolast Lockdown's, anyone know if their any good? Appreciate the help!

go to training forum

Last time I went to the training forum I had a load of American's telling me to get this gear that I couldn't find in the UK, just wanted an english view on things.

go the sugar rays website, they're a British site, look at different price ranges.

Thanks mate I'll take a look. I just want to know what's good and what's not, you know? Like them Lockdown's, anyone got a pair and think their good or not? Etc.

My boots are bog-standard Adidas ones. Usually just wear my running shoes anyway (though aint been to the gym in a little while myself to be honest, just doin training with fellow like-minded pals)

I got a few different pairs of gloves. Use 18oz Lonsdale sparring gloves I got from a local sports shop, bog-standard again, cost about 15 quid. However, help me increase my hand speed due to their size and are well-padded. Good for bag work as you really have to get your body into it, throwing arm punches in these things makes you feel like a super feather fist lol.

Have a pair of 8 oz Reyes as well, not worth taking them down the gym though. Usually wear 'em when I spar my mates, tell 'em they're crap gloves and make them wear my 10oz bag gloves :rofl

i got a pair of tuf-wear training gloves (for bag work and pads) and they are easily the best ones i've had. got them from sugar rays. i think they are about 12oz, nice snug fit and you can really feel the action:good

Best around IMO; and recently got some great reviews from BoxingCapital.

Geezers palace own branded gloves are quality.Fit well and take plenty of hammer.

I started using the Nike Machomai shoes recently they are pretty darn good you can get them for like 50 on Nikes site well worth that.

I recommend lemar, by far the best gloves I've owned

Thanks for everyone's replies. Goose, them Everlasts Hook and Loop look pretty decent. I've been looking at the Everlast range and their training gloves looks pretty good, I think I might get a pair.
