I'm not too impressed with the Feiyue Wushu shoes in general. I'm more inclined to buy the Do-Win shoes, also because the top is leather. Any ideas on those? Thanks!
@ngstylez They are and I've had to dismiss them. Even though the size is right they shoes are just too wide on the front, causing me to sway left n right (as if running on flat tires if you will) while doing my routines. So I guess I'll look further. Guess I just have funny feet :)
@teghead A little room is necessary at the toe is normally required for the reasons they explain (although not as much as 1 1/4cm in a trainer). As you say, the way the shoe fits or hugs the foot around the midsection is key.
@teghead FYI Clarks.co.uk have this to say on adult footcare:
'Ideally, the front part of the shoe should follow the natural shape of your toes and not be too pointed. There should be a space of about a 1 ¼ cm between the end of your longest toe and the end of the shoe. This lets the foot stretch out during walking and helps prevent damage to your toes and toenails.
To avoid your foot slipping about inside the shoe and rubbing, it should be held comfortably in the shoe by the fastening ....'
Half an inch sounds a bit too much although you do need some room to avoid banging your toe on the toecap. You could experiment with different patters of lacing your shoes (or wear thicker socks). Probably though I would suggest getting the next size down. There is 5mm difference between sizes.
@drradders Thanks. I talked to my sifu (sensei, teacher, etc.) and he let me exchange them, since I only wore them for 3 seconds. He had young girl working there and I was a size 45.5 in my regular Nikes, and she gave me a 46. I'm down to a 44. Much better. :)
I think a good fit in width and shape prevents you from banging your toes against the inside. Unless you are still growing, you do not want to stay in the habit of buying shoes that are too big for you, a well-fitting shoe should not have open space beyond the toes but should hug your foot around the midsection to avoid said " toe-banging". (the empty space only gives your feet room to accelerate in when you bang your toes)
I have a question. I just started jeet kune do and it was required that I bought a pair of these and some other stuff. Anyway, the shoes I got are a bit too big, there's about halh an inch extra room. Is there a way to shrink them a bit? Thanks for your time. :)
@mrphilbo1 Yea, 1/2 inch sounds like they're a size too big. I don't think there's a way to "shrink" them. You could try stuffing the toe with something and wear 2 socks as drradders suggested, but that may be pretty uncomfortable. You'd probably want to get a smaller size in the future. Good luck!
At Tai Chi Finder we've done a bit of work comparing the output of the different Top One factories and others. Your feet can tell the difference. To the eye the signs are more subtle. Even amongst the genuine shoes there are more variations than you expect. The newer ones don't seem to come up as high on the foot and they actually can feel narrow across the front of the foot despite the heels slipping. Luckily we got a few thousand of the shoes when they were pretty close to the originals shown.
so basically i'm having the exact same problem, the new ones are rubbish, i can't remember having to 'get used' to my old pair because they were literally better than bare feet. dying to get my hands on some genuine ones asap as the all my old pairs are holed. have you found a supplier with the same shoes as you are used to? and thank you for your video aswell, it was very helpful
@sobes55 Ah, yea, I have not found ones similar to my older ones. Every vendor is pretty different. The ones I order from wushuproshop were the ones I said in the video were ok.
I've been looking for a pair similar to the first two pairs of feiyues i had for a while now (top one branded). 8 or nine refunds later and i still haven't found them. my original source, playwell martial arts uk, now stocks fakes made in taiwan and even making sure to buy feiyues branded 'top one' in the paper bags didn't help as the more recent pairs have different proportions- exactly the same problem as you, crap (thicker) soles, too big/ heel slips out>even though the tongue comes up higher
wow thats interesting i never realized there was a different between the batches of feiyues that the different carriers have. I think i havnt noticed cuz i havnt worn feiyues in a very long time. Have you had the chance to try Budosaga wushu shoes yet?
@XwushugraceX Hey Stephanie, that's because you wear the nice fancy schmancy competition shoes. ;) Nope, I haven't tried any of the non-plain-ol FY shoes.
Look at the WL-37's on chinese-buy [.] com, those are what I plan on trying next. I buy martial arts shoes for parkour, because of their weight and grip.
@MarBanano It's tough to answer that. You will have to look around and contact the website directly to make sure they have what you're looking for. Even some stores will sell different ones depending what they have in stock. So it's best to contact them to be sure you're ordering what you want. Good luck!
actually there are tons of factories that make these things. all the "Feiyue knockoffs" are also made in the same factories, with the same people (feilongs, warriors, etc)
so a lot of the time you get a different pairs but that's because it's from a different place. also the hardness and the shine is sometimes due to the finishing coating they choose to put on... (which i hate) it comes off with use.
i know this question has been asked already but are these shoes good for parkour/flips in the meaning of: do these shoes ravel of/waste quick at stone? is the clothing fabric good quality? i know they dont have much cushioning but thats exactly what i want to get more controll and soft landings and i've got more feeling when i wear such shoes as these =)
@Freerun4Job Hey dude, you should read my responses to the other comments about your same question. :) As I've said, I don't practice much parkour outdoors to give you a good answer on this. If you want my opinion though, I would say that running shoes are better for parkour as they are designed with stability and cushion in mind. Feiyues are rather cheap shoes, you get what you pay for really. Depending on your usage, they can last long or get worn quickly.
i can buy them for 19 euro's since the shop is in the town 5 kilometres away kilometres away =P so i dont need to pay delivery costs
my goal is to always have good landings without support wich i have a better chance of achieving with those shoes since i am really workin on my controll past trainings.
and if you say they can last long if you don't do wrong things with them i will get them and try them out =)
@Freerun4Job 19 euros sounds like a lot (more than $20US). I hope the ones you get over in the Netherlands is good quality. Would love to hear what you think of them after you try them out a few times. It takes some time to break them in so that they feel comfortable. Good luck and stay safe!
@Freerun4Job Sure you may get more control and feel in what you are doing with less cushioning. If you are already pretty skilled, then you may like them. I'd rather be better safe than sorry with a bad landing though. In terms of lightness, you may like these as they're not as bulky or heavy as running shoes. Since they're not too expensive (under $20), why not get a pair and try them out? Since you do parkour, you would be able to give a better analysis of if these are good for parkour.
@XM5 Ah, good point. I'm not sure if the French company has any say in terms of production of the shoe in China though. I think it's just luck of the draw in terms of which wholesale distributor you buy from, which batch it's from, and which factory in China made it.
@fuppesplaya24 Hmm, I don't do much parkour myself, but I wouldn't really recommend them for street running. I would think you would want a bit more cushion and support for running, but then again, some parkour practitioners like the barefoot/simplistic shoes.
Apparently I went to a national wushu tournament and they were selling Feiyue shoes for 10 dollars each. If shoes are shipped in mass quantities, they'll sell for a lot less. They had the whites, the blacks, with or without the feiyue logos on the side, casual ankle highs and practical no ankles.
@bmj2468 A few people ask me that. Since I don't do a lot of parkour outdoors, I wouldn't really know. I imagine that you would want more cushioning for parkour depending on what you do and different people prefer a different feel. I don't think they'll be that good for it, but maybe give them a try.
@warrenrox I don't do much parkour, but I wouldn't recommend them for it. You can try it out and see. There's not much support or cushion for running.
Check on e-bay. I got a pair of top one, low white ones for $29.99 with shipping. They had 29.99 with free shipping all over the world. Havent arrived yet tho. So we will see how long it will take.
Also there is a couple of China based websites (also found one in the uk) who sells the top one (original) model.
@Havagrim Thanks, but $29.99 is a rip off! Even $20 is a rip off, but that's what we have to deal with unless you have connections with a wholesaler. Yea, I'd go with kungfudirect cause it's here in the Bay Area. I think most stores will sell white FYs for about $20, but online + shipping will save you a few more bucks.
@ngstylez Well, cheapest here in Sweden (where I live) is like 25$ without shipping. And thats the french "new" ones. Dont know if anyone here sells the TOPONE that I wanted. Also kungfudirect has cheaper price (14.99 right now), but the shipping to Sweden was like 30 - 50$.. So the ebay deal was a good deal for me, even tho it was expensive hehe.. Lets hope this is close to the older style, that seems alot better then the new ones!
But yeah. I wish I had connections with a wholesaler..
buy them direct from china, indoor bargain markets in BeiJing, you can get them as low as 80 cents per par, "no kidd" if you buy a large amount u can get them even cheaper, they carry Feiyue, Fuersen and Feixing. Same model shoes, different names same price 80 cents per pair
Oh, also, I've had both Tiger Claw and Top One, and neither have had that shiny weird plastic crap on them. I prefer to get them in the store. You may more (18-22 bucks) but you're not paying shipping, you can try them on in-store and you won't get burned if they don't fit.
@Amishexmachina You're definitely right about that, looking at them first hand and trying them out is the way to go if you have access to a local store.
@ngstylez Incidentally, you should try making your own Tarumara Sandals. I know that sounds like some hippy dippy BS, but it's really close to Barefoot running or running in Feiyue's. You can get a kit for like 20 bucks and it actually is a kinda cool art project. Plus those crazy barefoot indians run in them all the damn time. Barefoot Ted sells them.
@Ralph3991 Hey dude, glad this helped you. I think Feiyue's definitely have more cushion in the sole than tabi boots. In fact, I wouldn't recommend tabi style shoes at all, especially since free running you'll need to engage your toes. Since Feiyue's are relatively inexpensive, you can surely give them a try. But really, good ol cross training/tennis shoes are probably the best for parkour. Good luck!
@Ralph3991 Feiyues are great for that. I actually picked up a pair after reading Christopher Mcdougal's book on barefoot running. They're as close an approximation as you're going to get, outside of those gaudy five-fingers. Try em without socks on too, it's great.
Honestly, you're not gonna get a lighter, more fashionable shoe. If you live in NYC, or a bit city with Martial Arts supply places, you should be able to find them. They'll also let you try them on.
