Trunk Posted July 15, 2011 Kung Fu Shoe *ALERT* - to all my internal arts brothers and sisters, if you use cotton sole shoes, go re-supply *now*. Shifted US-China trade laws have now made them too expen$ive to import to the US. Many Chinatown shops are already out of certain sizes and won't be restocking.

Prince... Posted July 15, 2011 That might be a good thing. I'm a little miffed about learning that you're required to wear these in the Kuoshu Lei Tai competitions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mal Posted July 16, 2011 That's a shame as these shoes are a consumable for me, only lasting a few months. (Although I use the sticky rubber sole version not the cotton) I switched to dunlop vollies because they became cheaper then kung fu shoes in Aus and IMO do the same job while masquerading as normal shoes rather than slippers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the cloth bottoms for indoor - the plastic are too hard - not enough cushion. Feiyue for outdoors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feiyue for outdoors Yes, I have a pair with cloth bottoms on right now inside the house. It is not very durable, and the rubber sole I do wear them outside.
