I am a lady in my later 40′s who has just began learning Kung Fu (yes, I know you can teach an old dog new tricks). I saw that everyone in my Kung Fu class was wearing these Feiyue Shoes so I had to ask someone about them and they raved about them. All of them actually raved about these shoes, so I was sold and went and bought a pair. Also, you can’t beat the price I wish other shoes were priced like these sneakers. Good stability on wood floor and good support. Also, very lightweight (which especially helps following a lengthy exercise!).
The only real caution I’d make is the fact that these footwear are extremely wide. I am a size 7.5 US womens, but did not look for a corresponding size — and so i bought size 39 (which corresponds to eight.5 US). If only I’d bought the 38 (which corresponds to 7. US). Therefore if you are on the boarderline size, my recommendation would be to go more compact.
Yes the are great shoes! Some of the sizing (especially the 38/39/40) doesn’t quite match up with the standard conversion charts. I think this is because Euro sizes increase in length by 3mm whereas these increase by 5mm.
It is best to go by foot length but make sure you are standing when you do the measurement (easier than it seems if you stand on the measure) YMMV.
