Are Taekwondo shoes necessary?
Traditionally, Taekwondo is practiced barefoot and thus Taekwondo shoes are not required. However, if you plan to excel in Taekwondo, then you have to practice very long hours, and this can significantly increase the chances of your feet getting hurt. If your kick is not technically perfect, then your feet can get injured very easily. Sometimes, practicing turning kicks can lead to blisters or bruises on the soles of the feet. An injury can put you off practice for days, weeks or even months. To prevent injury and for many other reasons, Taekwondo shoes are necessary. Pacific Sports offers high-quality Taekwondo shoes made specifically for intense training sessions.
