I train MMA and kick boxing on a concrete floor gym. Based on recommendations I sought out a "hard court" tennis shoe for my concrete floor training and found this model. I could not be more happy with how this hard court tennis shoe works for general training and kick boxing - pivots, side to side foot work, and extra protection for kicking with pointed toes (tennis toe drag feature) have worked great. I am buying a second pair now as I don't want to go looking for this model in a year or two and find its not available.
