Our verdict
A low-top boxing boot from Rival with a PU upper, a compound rubber outsole, a reinforced heel cap and an ankle strap. It suits boxers who don't need a high-top's ankle support.
Rival's UK site describes a PU upper with a suede-like finish, a compound rubber outsole with its own tread pattern, a steel midsole shaft and a moulded EVA insole. It adds breathable mesh side panels, a reinforced heel cap and an ankle-strap closure.
Made4Fighters, a UK specialist retailer, says the boot fits true to size. That is the retailer's view, not a claim from Rival.
Boxers who want an all-round low-top boot for general boxing training and don't need maximum ankle support.
You want maximum ankle support: see the Rival RSX-Guerrero 03 High-Top instead.
Pros
- A PU upper with a suede-like finish, a compound rubber outsole, a steel midsole shaft and a moulded EVA insole
- A reinforced heel cap and breathable mesh side panels, per Rival
- Sold on Rival's own UK storefront
Cons
- No weight figure is confirmed
- The 'true to size' advice comes from a UK retailer, not from Rival
Why we rated it this way
Protection (3): Rival states a reinforced heel cap, but on a low-top design without a high-top's ankle coverage: the normal level for a boxing boot.
Comfort (4): The moulded EVA insole and breathable mesh side panels Rival describes are comfort features beyond the normal standard for a boxing boot.
Materials & Construction (3): Rival states a PU upper, a compound rubber outsole and a reinforced heel cap. The heel cap is more than the normal boxing-boot build; Rival doesn't say what its steel midsole shank adds.
Value (3): A budget price for a PU boot with a compound rubber outsole, a reinforced heel cap and an ankle strap: what boxing boots at this price normally offer. Rival states no benefit for its steel midsole shank, so it isn't counted as extra.
