If so, what have you found to be good kickboxing shoes? I know lots of people go barefoot, but I'd prefer shoes :)

    I wear shoes also. I have not found a good pair yet. A woman in my class the other day had those toe shoes on. She said she liked them for kickboxing. I thought I would check them out.

    Are you talking about a real kickboxing class in a Martial Arts studio, or one at your local gym? If you are going to learn traditional kickboxing, it is always done in bare feet. (I own a martial arts school) If you are taking a class at your local gym, then you would want to wear good cross trainers. There is a big difference in traditional kickboxing, and the classes that are professed to be kickboxing.

    The more minimal heel lift the better, IMO. New Balance Minimus are my shoes of choice.
