i bought a pair of adidas boxing shoes online but they dont fit me. im a size 10.5 4e in new balance's sizes, thats my perfect size. so i got the adidas in an 11 thinking the extra .5 size would make up for it, but right at the end of my foot its way too narrow and the shoes too long. so... what brands size up their shoes a little wider than others?

You could also try wrestling shoes, basically the same thing except they're easier to find and probably cost less.

Also keep in mind that wrestling and boxing shoes do not have supports for the arch. If you are flat footed you will need to insert a cushion with a special arch.

Karatekid, which model of Adidas are yours?

I just ordered a pair of BoxHog, that's how they are called in Europe.

I did just like you, I ordered 0,5 size bigger, because Adidas are known for their small sizes. But now you made me worry...

boning4life, what's so bad about them?they felt stiff and I mean stiff! if you are a person that uses good footwork and on your toes and not a flat footed fighter you will hate these. They were terrible even after breaking them in, they felt very very flat and didnt allow me to be on my toes:-(:-(:(
