Our verdict
A ¾-cut boxing shoe from Sting in open-weave mesh with welded overlays, for boxers at every level. Sting advises sizing down, as the shoe tends to run large.
Sting's UK site (stingsports.co.uk) describes a ¾-cut upper in open-weave mesh with welded thermoplastic overlays, a "lightweight, light-gripping" outsole and UK sizes 3 to 12. Sting positions the shoe for "all levels, beginner to professional", and recommends sizing down because it tends to run larger.
Boxers who want a ¾-cut boxing shoe with sizing advice from the maker, so they can buy with more confidence, from a brand with its own UK storefront.
You want to know how it fastens before you buy, or you want the fullest ankle coverage: see the Rival RSX-Guerrero 03 High-Top instead.
Pros
- Sizing advice from Sting itself: size down, as the shoe tends to run large
- An open-weave mesh upper with welded thermoplastic overlays, per Sting's UK site
- Sold on Sting's own UK storefront
Cons
- Sting doesn't state how it fastens; the product photos suggest laces
- Sting doesn't name the outsole material, describing it only as 'lightweight, light-gripping'
Why we rated it this way
Protection (3): A ¾-cut upper with welded thermoplastic overlays covers more than a low-top but less than a high-top: the normal level for a boxing boot.
Comfort (3): Sting describes an open-weave mesh upper, the normal standard for boxing boots. Sting's advice to size down, as the shoe tends to run large, helps with sizing but isn't a comfort feature in itself.
Materials & Construction (3): Sting states an open-weave mesh upper with welded thermoplastic overlays, and the overlays go beyond the normal boxing-boot build. Sting doesn't name the outsole material.
Value (3): A premium price for a ¾-cut, open-weave mesh boot with welded overlays, which is what boxing boots at this price normally offer.
