They are great, but unfortunately rarely available. The outsole is a firmly attached rubber with very strong grip. Better suited for powerful shots and quick changes of direction with footwork. The cushioning is very small, but your feet cannot slip. I added a silicone gel insole to reduce blistering. The ankle support - GoodLaces - should have been longer but I've thought about that with every pair of boxing shoes I've used. Even the 180cm laces seem short but I can't find longer laces than in India. Durability - will be worked to a climax as they wear out. Outperforms a pair of RXNs and a pair of Decathlons, but that's 10,000 more. If Hypercoys ever show up in India I would love to compare them.
