I doubt these shoes because of friends in shaolin who swore by these shoes and I wanted shoes to use for capoeira. Well, the grooves on the bottom of the shoes make it very difficult to slide your feet backwards or spin on the ball of your foot because of an insanely large amount of friction so it does no good for me in capoeira but obviously they weren't made for that. There is an incrdibly large range for friction so if you need to keep your feet on the ground these shoes will definetly do that for you.
Also - these shoes are INSANELY comfortable. Since I've bought these, I wear them nearly every opportunity I have. They're light, the padding on the bottom is perfect for your feet from the first time you put them on to the last. And stylish.
Only drawback to them would be if you have any need to slide your feet backwards or rotate your feet it may be difficult - but, other than that its a wonderful shoe. 4 stars

I had them in days of the order. They are as described. I did have to add som e memory foam, but other than that just great. 5 stars

As a practitioner of a variety of martial arts I've found the Flying Fish "Feiyue" to be the finest shoes for the job. I've used them for years and had the same pairs for years. They just don't quit. Comfortable, practical and even stylish. The shoes are amazing and for $15.00 I'd pick up a few pairs, they'll last you a lifetime. Don't hesitate practice your forms in them- or use your kettle bells, they are the closest thing to bare foot training you can find. 5 stars

This shoes run smaller to normal american shoes. I used the chart that they provided to select the size, but they didn't fit. They are requesting me to pay for the shipping cost. 1 star

I do not study martial arts or wear the shoes as intended; however, I do wear these shoes nearly every day and have for about two years. I love these shoes. I have worn through six pairs so far (straight through the soles), yet I continue to buy them. The main reason is because they are incredibly comfortable. If worn indoors or rarely they would certainly be durable enough, but I wear them outside, every day, in the streets of New York, winter and summer. They really are a great shoe: comfortable, inexpensive, nice-looking and they have great traction. 5 stars
