OSdream Canvas Kung Fu Shoes

These shoes work great, they are very similar to other shoes I’ve trained with but these cost about $25 less. They fit well and seem to be well made. The only complaint I have is that the laces are very short so you may consider buying other laces.

I bought these for a recreational circus training I went to over the summer. I used them for Cyr wheel and Chinese pole classes. They were perfect! They are lightweight, flexible and the traction is very good. Plus, they look nice.

Unfortunately sizing was off on me. Their 35 fits like a 6 in womens where as most 35's fits true to a size US 5. Too bad it didn't come in a 34 so I had to return. Otherwise, cute and comfortable shoe and would buy again if they came a smaller size option.

Length of the shoes is too small, same problem with wide. I wear 12.5 or 46; although I bought the bigger size 47 they are too small.

Those I do not practice anymore martial arts. I can be active and beat my shoes up. These are excellent in hot weather and the traction is obviously great. They haven't fallen apart after almost a year. Yes, they looked beaten in but, they are still holding together. And on the outside look great.

Its been a year now and I expect I can get another year or two out of them. I wear them about 2-4 times a week. I don't do any martial arts, so my purpose is in finding a cheap sneaker type shoe without all the arch support most shoes have. I'm a strong believer in not having all that stuff because it makes you weak are more susceptible to problems.My computer chair at home is a guitar stool without back support so that my back muscles get a good workout and stay in good shape in order to support itself on its own. The same logic is used with my feet. Not having all that padding forces me to walk more on my pads rather than my heals and do build up all those muscles so that they support my legs and back better.It works for me, but I'm not everybody. If you're going to do it, then keep it up for a month or two and not all at once. You need to build up the muscles. That takes time and effort.

I wear a size 46 EU (size 12-12.5 US) in almost every brand of shoe, so I ordered the size 46 which just so happens to be the largest size they sell. Guess what!? Not even close to being a proper size 46! These things are TINY, they are a solid 1.5-2cm too short. My feet will just barely go in and my toes are literally bent back up underneath my feet. These would be great if you were trying to do some Chinese foot binding haha. But they are no good to wear. It's a shame too because they are actually cute looking shoes, I was looking forward to wearing them. Of course there's no way I could send these back since they came all the way from China, not spending that much to ship back a $25 pair of shoes. Total rip off, stay away. If you have a smaller foot you might be able to pull it off but you need to buy it a couple sizes larger than what you are used to. But if you have a big foot your screwed.

My son uses these for parkour, and they're great! Tight fit, super lightweight, sturdy, durable build. However, as a martial arts instructor, I don't see how these could be called "martial arts shoes." It is the concealed laces that define a martial arts shoe, and these laces are exposed. So kicking a bag (or sparring partner) will affect both the knot and the target. Of course for anything non-contact-kicking in martial arts—hand techniques, kata, floor kicks—these shoes would work wonderfully.
