Default Shoes?

What sort of shoes do you guys wear when you fight? Or are you guys just strictly barefoot? I'm in the market, looking for some, but I can only find some decent ones on the internet. I'm not a big fan of buying things off the internet, especially something that I will have to wear...

Any idea where I can find them? Or any recommendations?

Can't recommend any to ya, sorry. I am a barefoot guy in the ring. I didn't know that any other MMA would allow shoes besides Boxing.

You can look through here: http://www.karatedepot.com/martialartsshoes.html and read the reviews.

Sorry I can't be more help, but I have never seen people actually using shoes - everyone around here goes barefoot + foot pads when sparring.

your club should be able to order them in for you. Sporting good stores often have them. I dont love wearing wrestling shoes but training gets hard on the feet somtimes. I trained at few times in a gymnastic gym and i definitely wore shoes the mts ripped your feet apart when you pivoted for most any stirke and working from the top on the ground. but on topic any large sporting goods store would have them

I'll look into it the next time I go to the gym, thanks.

The reason I'm looking for shoes, is strictly just for training my stand up technique. I'm always in and out of the ring, and the gym floor is cement. It's a bit cold on the feet (call me a wuss), but I dislike having to put on, and take off my shoes constantly.

I do all barefoot. I know the cement feeling, but lucky, our gym has pads on the entire floor, and we're actually required not to wear shoes. They aren't allowed in the gym, or on in the ring.

I never wore shoes while fighting, barefoot all the way. I don't know why, but it gives me a better feeling when fighting barefoot.

I agree with the barefoot. Heck, when I first started, I didn't even know there were shoes for this. I just went, took off my shoes, and got started.

There are boxing shoes. I don't think you spar with shoes on. At least I don't remember seeing people sparing with shoes on.
