"Was able to compete and although I lost, took Silver."
"These products are !!!!WAY!!!! too small. I ordered the 11/12 for my 14 year old son who wears a size 11 shoe and his toes are curled up in the front. According to a chart I found, (not on century's site) if I exchange for the largest size (13/14) that would only add 1/2 an inch which really would mean nothing. These products are only meant for small children, not teens and definitely not adults. According to Century, if I return for a refund, I have to find and pay for my own shipping to them (Fedex, UPS, USPS) and my initial shipping charge from them will also be deducted from my refunded amount. At this point the shipping cost to me out prices the actual product. The whole purpose in buying this product was to keep the bottom of my son's feet from blistering and tearing open as he has three open sores about an inch wide (each) on the balls of his feet from sparring. It's a good idea but it seems to me they are cutting them small to conserve material and boost their profits. I also got the adult M/L Kize headgear. That is also ridiculously tight. I don't write reviews often but I had to for this one. Only buy if your kid is on the smaller side, and buy at least 2 sizes bigger than you think would fit."
"Great material. Perfect fit. Arrived quickly!"
"A big difference in maneuverability, feel and comfort than the regular "boots/shoes")"
"These enclosed booties are about an in smaller than the open bottom ones. Returned them and awaiting next size up"
"Fits well!"
"Nice for hard wood floors or what ever you fight on"
"We love the shoes. But way over priced"
"Love the closed toe area underneath and the fit is much more comfortable than my previous footwear! The only downside to these kicks is the lack of grip you have on the mat due to the closed toe area. Century should consider a different material for this concept but adding high tac grip vinyl to mine made the difference."
