Customer Rating:      Summary: Wonderful Tai Chi shoe Comment: I use these shoes only for practicing Tai Chi, and they're wonderful for that purpose. I used the conversion chart provided when ordering the shoes, and upon arrival they fit perfectly. The soles provide good traction and are flat enough that I can confidently practice foot movements without the distraction of a large, heavy sole. I wouldn't use these shoes for walking over rough terrain or jogging. There are many better shoes made for that. However, for the practicioner, give these a try. For the price, they can't br beat, and they were delivered well before the promised date.
Customer Rating:      Summary: wushu shoes Comment: These are the only wushu shoes I use and I love them. They fit well and feel comfortable.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The best Kung Fu shoes! Comment: The best Kung Fu shoes! They are also great for light everyday use, but not supportive enough for heavy use (like jogging or rough terrain).
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great shoes Comment: I use them for taiji (Yang and Wu, 25 years now). They aren't *perfectly* flat... there's often a bit of roll down the center line of the sole. So, if you're beginner, find something perfectly flat -- but if you've learned your form and have begun the decades' long process of improvement, yeah, you want these.
They will stick a bit on wooden floors (which is great practice for your balance) but will take some getting used to if you're accustomed to cotton soled kungfu shoes.
Mine have been to Shanghai and back a few times now. One of the other reviewers rightly warned that you need to watch your sizing. My foot is somewhere between 12.5 and 13 in American sizing and I needed the 47.
Be well.
