Chinese Traditional Old Beijing Shoes Kung Fu Tai Chi Shoes Rubber Sole Unisex Black

Light weight, flexible. The quality is above expectations. They're comfortable and support the whole foot. From what I can tell, they are also slip-resistant.

Good quality.I haven't warn them much yet, the size is off just a little but they are comfortable and have a good grip on the bottoms.

Feel Like Bruce when I walk in these? Great fit, and made right. My Go To Master Style slip ons!

I recently purchased these APIKA Old Beijing Shoes and have been pleasantly surprised by their comfort and design. The canvas upper is breathable, making them suitable for extended wear, while the sole provides good traction. They're easy to slip on and off, adding to their convenience. Whether you're practicing martial arts like Kung Fu or Tai Chi, or simply looking for a comfortable everyday shoe, these fit the bill. Plus, they offer a touch of traditional Chinese style that's both unique and fashionable.

I ordered these shoes for kicking a punching bag outdoors in my driveway. They would work well for that purpose, if the fit was a bit better. I ordered size 41, which is my correct size (US women's 9.5 wide, US men's 7.5). I know size 41 is my correct size because I have other pairs of shoes in this size which fit well. I would like these shoes very well, except that the fit is not quite right. Both shoes are printed with size 41, but the left is a little too big, and the right is a little too small. The shoes appear to be the same size, so I think the fit is due to the way the upper is stitched onto the sole, and how much space was left at the edge. I was disappointed because otherwise, these are very nice martial arts shoes. They have that nice "brand new sneaker" smell when they come out of the package. They shipped from China in 9 days (free shipping for Prime members). The price was good ($15). They come bagged up in a cute plastic wrapper with Chinese writing on it. I have already worn these shoes and gotten dirt on them, so I will keep them and use them for something (maybe slippers, or basement shoes, because I have a damp basement and can't wear regular slippers down there to do the laundry). I will try them out on the punching bag, but I think because of the right shoe being a little too tight, they will not be comfortable for a long workout. The other shoes I have in size 41 are all either a good fit, or a little too loose. I can't really explain why this one is a little tight, unless it is the stitching or the size label is wrong. I wanted to give these shoes a good review, but unfortunately I got a pair that was not quite right.

I needed a pair of “indoor only” shoes and decided to purchase these. These are very nice, lightweight slip ons. I read the reviews here and was concerned about the size being too small, so I followed the advice that I should measure my foot to centimeters and find a Chinese foot size conversion chart. That told me that I probably needed to get the size 11 instead of the 10 I usually wear. Well, I got them...and they are slightly too big, even with socks on. Not too terribly bad, but they do stretch out a bit, so I should have just gotten the size 10....they would have been perfect. That said, good shoes anyway.

I've been training martial arts for almost 20 years and I've had a lot of different shoes and brands. These are nothing special and really are not great quality. There is a thin sheet of fabric that covers the foot bed and the stitching of mine started to unravel within a month. I just ripped it out since it is in the shoe and was mostly cosmetic but that made the foot bed itself a little uncomfortable. There are better options out there and this isn't one.

I use these for my Taekwondo shoes.Great fit, very thin. My only issue is that they fall apart quite rapidly and stretch out. At first, perfect, after 2 or 3 classes, they go flying off my feet with the slightest kick.Wearing them around the house is amazing though, worth it.
