Review on Rediscover Authenticity with APIKA Chinese Traditional Beijing Rubber by Glen Elevyn

I ordered these shoes to kick a punching bag outside in my driveway. They would be well suited for this purpose if the approach was a bit better. I ordered size 41 which is my correct size (US women 9.5 wide, US men 7.5). I know that size 41 is my correct size because I have other pairs of shoes that fit me in that size. I would love these shoes, except they don't quite fit. Both shoes are printed with size 41, but the left one is a bit big and the right one is a bit small. The shoes appear to be the same size so I think the fit is down to how the upper is stitched to the sole and how much room is left around the collar. I was disappointed because otherwise it's a very good martial arts shoe. They have a nice "brand new sneaker" smell when they come out of the box. They were shipped from China in 9 days (free shipping for prime members). The price was good ($15). They are packaged in a beautiful plastic sleeve with Chinese inscriptions. I've worn these shoes before and gotten them dirty so I leave them and use them for something (maybe slippers or basement shoes because my basement is damp and I can't wear normal slippers to wash there). I'm going to try them on a punching bag but I think they will be uncomfortable for a long workout because the right boot is too tight. Other size 41 shoes I have either fit well or are too loose. I can't explain why this one is a bit tight unless it's the stitching or the sizing tag is wrong. I wanted to give these shoes a good review but unfortunately I didn't get the right pair.
