This shoe's innovative design makes it a great choice for everything from forms to full-force sparring. The shoe is constructed of lightweight material making it comfortable and flexible for forms and training, but it is layered with protective padding making it a great replacement for traditional sparring footwear. The Ringstars can be worn either with or without the included laces. The laces can also be covered by a padded velcro flap that adds additional protection to the shoe. The sneaker-like design of the Ringstar covers the whole foot, reducing hygiene concerns and increasing the protection provided by the shoe. This shoe comes in mens sizes. See our conversion shart for correct womens sizing. The Ringstar is the only product of its kind endorsed by both the NASKA and the ISKA. Available in children's sizes.
