I was recently sent a pair of UFC Ultimate Training Shoes by my friends over at Ringstar – Here is my review on the product….
Style and Appearance
When you first set your eyes on the UFC Ultimate Training Shoe one of the first things you notice is the striking design and styling. The padded Lace Protection System has a very modern edge and look to it which complements the aggressive styling on the side panels of the shoe where the air vents are located. I am reviewing the Black and Red version of the shoe but it also comes in a White and Silver colour combination. The shoe has the UFC logo on the velcro strap which connects to the side of the shoe, it also appears again on the sole of the shoe in the middle. All in all it is a well put together training shoe with a modern and stylish edge.
Design and Fit
The great thing about this shoe is that it is made with so many innovative and unique technologies which have been designed specifically to make the shoe safer and more comfortable for the person wearing it. The shoe incorporates a three layered foam padding protection system and patented lace protection system. The shoe also gives the wearer impact protection which is located at various strike points on the foot. Even the sole of the shoe has been specifically designed to give added protection to the foot and achilles heel. This is a very high tech shoe that actually works and feels great to wear.
Performance and Functionality
As soon as you put the shoe on you can feel the comfort, it feels spacious but you can spar and kick without a feeling of looseness which is good. The three layer padding technology really does give great protection when working with pads and also in live sparring with other people. When I first looked at the shoe I thought that it may be quite heavy based on appearance but they are actually very light allowing for great movement and speed. The sole of the shoe provides very good grip, this in effect mimics being barefoot very well when training. It helps with changes of direction and movement around the ring/cage etc. Better movement allows for better performance meaning you can get the most out of your sparring sessions. The air ventilation on the sides of the shoe are well placed to ensure that your feet do not get too hot and sweaty when training which can only be a good thing.
Overall Analysis
Overall this is a fantastic product that incorporates some great technology into the design of the shoe. A high quality training shoe that offers great protection for the wearer and their training partners. It does not slow down or make your training experience any harder, it only enhances your ability to perform better. Price wise the shoe is not cheap but I feel well worth the investment, I cannot comment on the durability too much as I have not had the product long enough but I can tell you that it is well made with quality materials. I would really recommend this product to others and I can see it being very popular on the market.

Hi there can you tell me how your training partners felt when you kicked them during sparring? And how are they on you and your partner when trying out subs such as gogoplata or triangle? Your opinion/experience review is much appreciated
These are the shoes I’ve been wanting more than anything. They are the coolest. I keep seeing more and more fighters wearing them. Do you know what retail stores carry them. I really want to try them on. I want both colors, black and white.
The shoes are very cool.

I recently picked up a pair of UFC Ultimate Training Shoes, and I agree with Jay. These are super high-tech training shoes, plus they look sick! Wrestling is my base and I’ve had many different styles of wrestling shoes. These compare nicely to the best wrestling shoes I’ve had, but they are also padded on the top. They offer great protection when kicking the heavy bag or Muay Thai pads. I had a friend break his foot before a UFC fight. Using the UFC Training Shoe, especially a couple of weeks out, might be the smartest thing a fighter could do to prevent injuries.
