Our verdict
A lightweight low-top boot with mesh ventilation panels, which its UK retailer positions for footwork, bag work and pad work rather than sparring.
Made4Fighters, a UK specialist retailer, lists a synthetic-leather upper with breathable mesh ventilation panels and a "stitched-on sole", which it says avoids the glue-joint failure of bonded soles. These details come from the retailer rather than from Fly, though Fly's own website broadly matches them.
The retailer positions the Tempest for outside-boxer footwork and heavy bag and pad work, not for sparring, so we don't list it for sparring.
Boxers who want a light, mobile boot for footwork, bag work and pad work more than maximum support.
You want a boot sold for sparring: its retailer positions this one for bag work, pad work and general training. Or you want the specification from the maker rather than from a retailer.
Pros
- A light, breathable build: a synthetic-leather upper with mesh ventilation panels
- A stitched-on sole, which the retailer says avoids the glue-joint failure of bonded soles
Cons
- How it fastens isn't confirmed
- Not positioned by its retailer for sparring
Why we rated it this way
Protection (3): The retailer describes a reinforced ankle support structure, but this is a low-top boot, so it sits at the normal level of protection for a boxing boot.
Comfort (4): the confirmed breathable mesh construction and lightweight positioning are genuine, specific comfort/mobility features.
Materials & Construction (3): A retailer, rather than Fly, lists a synthetic-leather upper with mesh panels and a stitched-on sole. The stitched-on sole goes beyond the normal boxing-boot build; the upper is standard.
Value (3): A mid-range price for a synthetic-leather and mesh boot with a stitched-on sole, which is what boxing boots at this price normally offer.
