Venum Contender boxing boot
The Venum Contender boxing boot is designed for boxers who are new to boxing and need a lightweight boot with excellent stability and support.
The construction of the Venum Contender outsole is an excellent choice for low to medium intensity workouts and has been developed through feedback from professional fighters.
Lateral reinforcements and exceptional grip on the outsole provide superior support and control. The anatomical insole provides additional stability throughout the shoe and connects you to the ring.
Develop your footwork and defence skills with the support of the lightweight, mid-height upper of these shoes.
The upper of the shoes has a "honeycomb" mesh for breathability and comfort - so you can focus on practising the noble art.
Combine the Venum Contender boxing shoe with the Venum Elite or Contender 2.0 gloves.

Size guide
Place your foot on a white sheet of paper, with your heel against the wall, and make a mark at the height of your big toe. Measure this distance and choose your size using the table above.
If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller shoe size for optimum support.
Venum-Boxing shoes are designed to provide optimum support for the foot during every movement. Comfort and stability are essential for strong and dynamic footwork.
The boxing shoes therefore have numerous reinforcements in the stress zones (toe, heel and side parts):
It is normal for the shoes to appear rigid during the first few uses.
Frequently asked questions:
Do I need boxing shoes?
Theoretically, normal indoor shoes would also be suitable for training or competitions, but boxing boots have important features especially for boxing, so sooner or later you should think about buying boxing boots. You can certainly wear sports shoes in the early days without any problems. However, you should switch to boxing boots at the latest when sparring or sandbag training. Here are the most important factors:
- Boxing boots are particularly light
- Boxing boots fit snugly on the foot
- Boxing boots have little or no cushioning
How should boxing shoes fit?
In boxing boots, the foot is tightly enclosed and stabilised, which gives the foot additional stability. The laces are often concealed to prevent accidental loosening.
Why are boxing boots high?
Put simply, it's all about stability. This is extremely important in boxing. A high, tight-fitting boxing boot fixes the ankle and thus provides a little more stability. Of course, you can't override the laws of physics with a boxing boot and even in the best boxing boots it is possible to twist your ankle, but the advantages of the high and firm shaft are still there and have often been proven in practice.
Boxing boots for women
The question of special boxing boots for women comes up from time to time. However, in principle there is only one answer in terms of appearance. Many women prefer lighter colours than the classic black, which is particularly popular with men. Otherwise, there are no other differences and it can be assumed that the models shown and recommended above are basically "unisex" products, i.e. equally suitable for women and men. And as is so often the case, the colour and design are simply a matter of taste.
Caring for and washing boxing boots
Boxing boots (like all sports shoes), which are used intensively and often sweaty, naturally need to be washed and cared for from time to time. After training, the shoes should be aired very well. The laces should be completely loose and the boxing shoe should be left to dry out in the open air. The laces should also be washed separately at regular intervals.
The upper material can be cleaned relatively easily with a damp cloth or sponge. Opinions differ as to whether boxing boots should also be cleaned in the washing machine. What is certain is that a washing machine cycle can damage the leather or synthetic leather and the seams and possibly shorten the durability. You should therefore avoid the washing machine if possible. The shoes will certainly not fall apart immediately just because you have washed them in the machine. In this respect: If, after a year or more, you feel that the boxing boots could "do with" a thorough wash, you can try a low temperature (30 degrees) care programme in the machine. However, excessive spinning should be avoided (preferably no spinning at all).
