Everyone will recognise these traditional kung fu slippers from countless movies and images of the respected Kung fu master at work. Worn with the traditional uniform, the kung fu slippers are hard wearing and inexpensive and a must if you want to immerse yourself in the world of Chinese martial arts.

These easy-on kung fu slippers are widely used by many people and practitioners of, not only kung fu but other varied styles and they are reasonably priced and and very comfortable. They have a rubber sole and are surrounded by canvas with a light cotton lining which makes for an exceptionally light and durable pair of shoes. What’s great about these classic kung fu slippers, is that they are like a second skin really, and that they are snugly fitted to your feet and allow you to feel every nuance of your movement, positioning and stance. The way they are designed, which obviously goes back a few years, means you are aware of how your feet feel at all times. This sensitivity aids your awareness of your body movements and your technique. Even though shoe technology has come a long way since this footwear came into being they are nonetheless effective and practical.

They have stood the test of time and they wouldn’t still be available if they didn’t have something going for them now would they? You will definitely look the part even if you don’t feel it as a beginner in your style. These traditional kung fu shoes are a great first option for a martial artist. If you have several pairs of martial arts footwear already it is worth having a pair of these as a back-up for emergencies.
