Piranha Gear

A pair (2) of foot protectors made with high density foam padding. These are of outstanding quality made of A/Leather! We got tired of the "paint-covered foam" ones too and wanted something better. Something that would last longer than 6 - 8 months before it started to crack and tear. These feature a thick criss-cross strap that runs around the ankle and across the middle of the arch to keep them well secured during sparring.

IMPORTANT POINT: these pads allow the ENTIRE ball of your foot to be in contact with the floor. No straps or padding interfere with your foot's movement or control. If you spar a lot, you know what a significant improvement that is.

Under the front of the pads are elastic "toe loops" which are double width so you can use either pad on either foot (no more "left" or "right" pads). You just insert your big toe on one side of the loop. Unless you wear a toe ring, you might think the toe loop would be distracting.

When the idea for these pads came up, several staff members were skeptical, but we've found that the pads fit so well, you literally don't notice the loop. Since the padding is shaped so well, the "toe loop" is actually optional. Some people don't even use the it. Most prefer it after a minute or two.

These pads are SO good and SO comfortable that once we started making them, NO ONE ON OUR STAFF WOULD USE ANYTHING ELSE! That's why they are the ONLY footpads we sell. We simply cannot recommend any other pads.
