Best Taekwondo Shoes in 2020 | Great shoes for Martial arts |

That annoying feeling.

You have a blister...

You just finished an Intense taekwondo session full of kicking, and now you look at your feet...

Blisters...

What have you done to yourself...

Now you have to train lightly for weeks until your feet finally recover so that you can train properly. Or even worse, You have an upcoming tournament and you keep training hard and it keeps getting worse every day...

As a taekwondo athlete myself who has competed at an international level, I can safely tell you that the best decision you can ever make in Taekwondo is to invest in a pair of taekwondo shoes...

Some coaches will tell you things like NO! DON'T WEAR Taekwondo Shoes!!! Do you wear taekwondo Shoes on the Mat while competing? No! GET USED TO IT.

While that wisdom has some weight to it.

But.

Hell no.

If you are taking taekwondo seriously and you are training as much as possible please take care of your feet.

Your feet will thank you and you will be able to get more Exercise done.

If you decide to go Yollo and train bare footed you will end up with trapped toes, twisted toes, Many Foot injuries from kicking elbows, and.... AND.... BLISTERS

Ever since I have started training in Taekwondo shoes I have never looked back. LONG GONE are the days where I twist my ankle every month and stub my poor little toes.

What coaches fail to notice about taekwondo shoes is they protect your feet so much!

You can kick elbows, knees, and hands without hurting your Feet. The biggest bonus to me is I rarely twist my ankle while wearing taekwondo shoes. Taekwondo shoes offer a Flat surface on the bottom of them which makes it less likely that you twist your ankles.

Or at least that's what I noticed.

And of course... They help you prevent Blisters which will result in you taking a lot of time off.

And No.

Don't worry

If you play sparring while wearing taekwondo shoes you aren't more likely going to hurt your opponent. IF anything you are less likely to hurt them. The most annoying thing possible in taekwondo is getting Cut from other people's toe nails. With taekwondo shoes that doesn't happen.

And usually the base is very soft and smooth, making them perfect for sparring.

Oh right!

Another benefit of taekwondo shoes? You don't get weird things stuck in your feet from a not fully cleaned Floor.

So now that we covered Why you would want to get some taekwondo shoes, Il cover Which taekwondo Shoes are the best options to go for.

And please stay away from the Cheap taekwondo shoes. THEY Won't last. and won't fit. AND Won't give you a good experience.

So.

What are the best taekwondo shoes in 2020?

1. Adidas Contestant Martial Arts Taekwondo Shoes

Best overall Build Quality Taekwondo shoes

These taekwondo shoes are by far the most popular taekwondo shoes in 2020. Almost all of the best taekwondo athletes in the world wear these.

The Adidas contestant martial arts shoes have the best build by far.

They will usually last the longest and are very hard to destroy thanks to their good build. The good thing is that the bottom sole of the Shoe has 2 separate pieces which allow the shoe to bend very easily and comfortably

The only con about this shoe is you have to get the Perfect size because there are no laces, Which means if you don't get the perfect size for your Foot you will suffer.

Now. I can't speak for everyone but I usually get a Size smaller when buying taekwondo shoes because I prefer a Tight-fitting shoe. It may be painful when you first get it but it will become a perfect fit to your foot very fast.

That's just my personal preference. But this shoe has a True Size so you shouldn't worry about that Unless you prefer very tight-fitting shoes like me.

Frequently asked Questions about Taekwondo shoes:

What size should I get when Buying Taekwondo Shoes?

It depends on your feet. IF you have narrow Feet I would suggest that you go for half a size smaller. On the other hand, if you have very wide feet it is recommended that you go for a Half size bigger than Normal.

Nothing is worse than having your feet slide all over the place when doing footwork, or during sparring.
