What's the most comfortable all around sneaker for training and sparring?

Jesus, no one wears martial art sneakers while training and sparring in TKD?

nobody has found good ones.

I've used wrestling shoes, those weren't bad, but made it a bit tougher on pivots and such.

Otomix low tops, but they tear up, same way with pine tree and a couple other brands.

Running shoes work, but they tear up your partner.

What about Adadis?

i dont use them and find it unneccesary to wear them, but its a matter of choice.

just buy one, but my advice train whitout them...

I was thinking of getting them for sparring more since I don't want to crack my foot on someone's elbow.

they don't help at all for something like that. They are constructed with such a light material that the impact will go straight through.

Better advice is to not kick people in the elbows.

Don't wear shoes, but if you must, look for PINE TREE BRAND. Next would be Adidas.

Agreed. A female friend of mine uses the Pine Tree brand, seems to work for her.
