They are called shin guards
Protection for your foot in a fight, you twat.

If you've got high tops you can't straighten your foot out properly.
And you just look like a dick kicking people with shoes on.
Saying that, people have gloves for protection of the knuckles and hand. It's strange that protection for your feet hasn't been invented yet either, given how easy it is do break the bones in your foot.
how about kicking correctly with your shin like youre supposed to in Muay Thai? or maybe not bitching about it if you hit with your foot, since youre in a rough ass sport???
Typical tough guy attitude on display here. Willing to risk injury and months of rehab when there could be the option to protect your foot. Accidents happen. A lot of fighters do it now days anyway, strap their feet right up under their ankle wraps. Guess that's different to what I was saying though. I broke my foot that connected with someones elbow. Took a bloody long time to heal up properly.

What's up with all these people obsessed with protection doing in a combat sport? If you're so afraid of getting hurt, this isn't the sport for you. There are even threads here about people concerned their soaps aren't cleaning them enough from the dangerous gym germs. WTF! Only in America.
Some real awesome tough guys around here.
In my book it makes no sense not to prevent injuries if you can. That s also part of doing full contact sports. If you re thinking long term.
When I was 20 I also didn t give a shit about injuries. Would kick full power with no protection. Ended up landing on an elbow. That fucked up my foot *for years*.
On wearing boxing shoes for MT, I say Wtf. Ridiculous.
Nothing wrong with protection in training. The whole point of training is to be able to fight at your best. You can't do that if you're injured! Just look at the Thais, they train pretty light. They have to cos they are fighting all the time.
Pro boxers wear head guards to stop cuts which could ruin their livelihood from a silly clash of heads. There's nothing clever about being macho when there's no need.
But wearing boxing shoes for MT? Is that joke? I wouldn't be happy if some idiot cut me with his laces.
