Our verdict
A mid-range foot guard from Top Ten, which publishes its construction and sizes itself. WAKO's 2022 Equipment Book lists the model, Top Ten's "Fight" (article 3068), in red and blue for point fighting, light contact, kick light and full contact. It is linked here in red, one of the two listed colourways, though a 2022 listing is not the same as the WAKO label on the item.
WAKO's Equipment Book (revision 6, May 2022) lists Top Ten's foot guard "Fight" as article 3068, in red and blue, for point fighting, light contact, kick light and full contact. UK retailer Bytomic sells it as Top Ten Fight Kicks in red (SKU TT3068RD, linked here), blue and black. Bytomic's SKUs (product codes) carry the same article number.
Budoland, the German company that owns and makes Top Ten, describes a polyurethane synthetic-leather cover over PPS foam padding, elastic toe loops and a hook-and-loop fastener. It gives the sizes as XS, S, M, M-L and L. It also lists WAKO and ITF recognition for the model, which is the maker's claim. Bytomic's description matches: a "resilient Rexion artificial leather" outer and "Bayfill PPS foam" over the instep and ankles. Heel and sole coverage and weight are not stated in text.
Bytomic says the guards are "officially approved by WAKO and ITF". That is the retailer's wording. Only the red and blue versions are colourways WAKO's 2022 list names. WAKO permits only WAKO-approved safety equipment at its international and national events from 1 January 2025 and requires foot protection to carry the WAKO label (WAKO Labels document, rev. 4; WAKO Europe, March 2026). Check the label on the pair you receive and your event's rules.
Kickboxers in the tatami (mat) disciplines or full contact who want a model that WAKO's 2022 Equipment Book identifies by article number. The maker publishes its own specification and five sizes, including an M-L between Medium and Large.
You want black for competition (Top Ten's black version is not a colourway WAKO's 2022 list names). You need the heel and sole coverage or the weight to be stated. You are a low kick or K1 Style fighter: those WAKO disciplines do not use foot guards.
Pros
- WAKO's 2022 Equipment Book names the model by article number (3068) in red and blue, and the red version is linked here
- Elastic toe loops and a hook-and-loop fastener, per Top Ten
- Five sizes from Top Ten, XS to L, including M-L, each with an approximate shoe size
Cons
- Top Ten's page lists red, blue and black, but WAKO's 2022 list names only red and blue
- A listing in WAKO's 2022 book is not the WAKO label WAKO events require on the item itself
- Heel and sole coverage and weight are not stated in text
Why we rated it this way
Protection (3): Top Ten states PPS foam padding under a synthetic-leather cover, and Bytomic adds that the foam covers the instep and ankles. But heel and sole coverage are not stated, and nothing independent separates it from the other guards here. We rate it on the stated construction, never on an injury-prevention claim.
Comfort (3): elastic toe loops, a hook-and-loop fastener and an in-between M-L size, per Top Ten, with no independent fit evidence.
Durability (3): a polyurethane cover that Top Ten calls durable synthetic leather, with no independent durability evidence.
Value (3): a mid-range price for a model that WAKO's 2022 book names in red and blue, and whose maker publishes its specification. It is linked in red, a listed colourway.
