Saw this video last week, googled a shop stocking feiyue shoes in German, was thrilled to see that they come in small sizes (I have very tiny feet and hands), ordered a pair of Feiyue Mid-Cut Sneaker, they came yesterday, tried them out - I love them. I really had not been satisfied with my running shoes as they were so inflexible. I felt that the more flexible sneakers I had were not the best suit either. So, I am very grateful for your video. I have seen your reply on the other video where I will go and have a look now.
great to hear they're a good fit for you, Nina! I think shoes with minimal soles are the way to go, not only for flexibility but also for getting that "feel" for the ground beneath your feet. I should reiterate that Fei Yue is really the only brand of this type of shoe that I've tried so far and I'm not married to them as "the best shoe"; I'm sure there are others, but they work really well for me. I'm glad they work well for you also, hopefully a boost to your training journey 🚀 Cheers, -Glen
thanks Daniel, glad you liked this one - definitely got some videos in the pipeline coming soon so hopefully they help out with your journey even more 🚀 How's your training been going so far? Cheers, - Glen
Great video I use minimalist styled shows myself but I've been considering trying out cheerleading shoes because they would probably handle jumping and movement really well but I'm sure it would end up with me getting some odd looks lol
hi Garret thanks for reaching out! Apologies for the delayed reply here, been super busy at my side lately so I'm responding to comments later than I'd like here. Yeah, I'd agree that the minimal sole shoes have been great for me. I've come across cheerleading shoes myself, but honestly... whatever works mate! If you can be a super ninja rope master in cheerleading shoes, do it 😄
Thank for tips about footwear use.Also i appreciate you for tutorial about rope choice.You have answered 10questions in one about the above subject.God bless your work.
@@RopeRage Yes Sir my training is improving greatly.Your Exploitives techniques Indirectly is improving my Art/ drawing skills/Embrance of new foreign and strange ideals of Art. Giving me that confidence in how i see in Art.Its just beautiful.i you get my point.Even when you dont draw.God bless
I've bought myself a taekwondo shoes for jump rope! I was doubting it but I saw this video and felt reassured :) thanks Also I only jump rope inside (cement) so they wont wear out
Thanks Dilek, glad you found this video useful! Low tops should be fine actually, the only difference I’d imagine is less ankle support, so there could be less support when changing directions rapidly, but for jump rope that shouldn’t be a real issue at all. Hopefully that helps out. Also, apologies for the super delayed reply my personal life has been pretty crazy recently, but I’ll be back with more videos (and big announcements) pretty soon 🔥 Take care, - Glen
I erased quite a few сheap shoes cause of my jump robe traning btw I jump about 1500 times for 1 workout ... Decide to got expensive one Asics GEL-CONTEND 5 few days ago and it preaty conveniently will see how much will it take to erase this )
hey, apologies for the delayed response here, busy times recently! I don't have a link for those ones specifically, I got them off Amazon years ago, but if you search fei yue shoes you should be able to find. Let me know how it goes 👍🏽 Cheers, - Glen
I heard the ones where the Y looks like a V ("Feivue") are from a different factory, and are better (both are official Feiuyes tho). Do you notice any difference?
hey daniel, great comment here. I actually didn't know there were those two types, so this is all news to me. Though I do know that there are MANY ripoff versions out there, to the point that it's now hard to tell which ones are good quality and are not. I can say that I've bought probably six pairs in my time, and there is a type that has a label that says "top shoe" or something hidden in the tongue of the shoe - those ones fall apart in a matter of weeks. Other than that, I don't really know of any specific differences. Cheers, - Glen
@@RopeRage Hi, thanks for replying. I did some research but the more I try to learn about the many versions of Feiyues the more confused I get. Since they are so cheap I decided to risk buying a random pair and fortunately they feel really good on my feet, despite having the normal "Y".
Hi Rope Rage, what a nice and great video, btw how about someone suffer knee pain/OA like me, when i do double under i will got knee pain, but for basic jump or boxer step its ok.
Hey effendy, thanks for your message and glad your enjoyed this video 👍🏽 For knee pain doing the double under, I would definitely say work up to doing the double under gradually. And by the way, you can still get lots of the benefits of jump rope training (coordination, leg muscle development, cardio, and more) without doing double unders. There are some exercises and techniques that can gradually build to double unders, and in fact, this has given me a great idea for a video, I will work on something in the coming weeks on this for sure. And I'll come back to this comment and let you know when I've uploaded the video 😎 Other than that, how have you been doing? hope training has been progressing well. Cheers, - Glen
Hi effendy; I hope you've been getting on well. I just wanted to jump back here to let you know I was able to put together a video that could help you with knee issues - it was posted on the channel on Sunday so I'm not sure if you were able to see it, but I just want to be certain as I made it with you in mind: th-cam.com/video/qM9zeZOcnR8/w-d-xo.html Cheers! - Glen
thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. I hear you on that one; audio in this one is quite poor and I considered holding off on the upload, but there was too much valuable info. Got a mic a little while after this one, so hopefully that's all sorted going forward. Cheers!
Yeah, let that heal up fully! Would be interested to hear how you get on with those when you get round to it, heard the vibrams are very lightweight 👌🏽
I appreciate it James, yeah this was far from perfect and a new video format we were trying out some time ago. Things are much better these days with audio, so hopefully audio isn't a detractory aspect for more videos in future
Rope Rage Hi I love your skills awesome skipping! Yes really comfortable, especially once warn in, won’t jump in anything else. Nice and light, I know you said you didn’t like jumping in running shoes but trust me the sole is perfect, no pain on soles of your feet and last ages really well made no glue coming apart or anything. about £35-40 on eBay👍🏻 I now have four pairs lol as I keep some for wearing out and some for skipping..
Much appreciated Bob! I’ve been working at getting people to look at rope training differently, so messages like these are encouraging to keep going 💪🏽 I love the fact that you said you have the same pairs of shoes but use some pairs for training and others for leisure - this is actually ideal because it means your stride should be quite consistent as you walk 👍🏽 a lot of us do not walk properly (not really our fault - we’re never really taught ‘how to walk’ and the modern way of life-sitting in chairs, etc.-doesn’t help either) Thanks again for sending in such a cool message, keep me updated on how your training progresses - I’ll do my best to help out where I can. Cheers, -Glen
Cheers, top man, Glen. I never thought about that to be honest🤔 but now you mention it, yes wearing them round the clock must help me with my skipping a lot.. keep doing what you’re doing love your videos 👍🏻 learnt all I know from you and also rush athletics. Skipping is such a great exercise, and you’re spreading the message, just wish I picked up the rope sooner.. Quick question do you still teach classes? I remember seeing one of your videos where you were coaching a group, would love to get involved.
hey Bob, I appreciate the props there! It is a great exercise-the versatility of it and the excitement/engagement I feel during my training is practically irreplaceable. I did take a bit of a hiatus from teaching classes over the winter, but this summer we're back at it. I actually have a collaboratory session scheduled for May 26th in South London-I'll be teaming up with another trainer, and we'll be doing rope training as well as some cool reaction drills and coordination work. Details for workshops and suchlike go out on Instagram first, so if you're not already, I'd recommend checking out the page when you get the chance: instagram.com/rope_rage/. Nice one, -Glen

Thank you very much bro! I will keep doing what I can to help out 💪🏾 #StayRaging
Thanks for a detailed video, I liked it very much.
If I don't have any fancy shoes I just put on my old school canvas PT shoes :)
Thanks nitin, good to hear from you 👍🏽 canvas shoes are lightweight - good stuff!
Very helpful. Thank you.
no problem Charles

Thank you for the video. Do you think getting a low-top instead of a mid-top would make too much of a difference? I just like the low-top more ;)
Thanks Dilek, glad you found this video useful!

сheap shoes cause of my jump robe traning btw I jump about 1500 times for 1 workout ... Decide to got expensive one Asics GEL-CONTEND 5 few days ago and it preaty conveniently will see how much will it take to erase this )
I use Salomon speed cross that are worn down that I don’t use them on the trails anymore. Low profile, zero cushion, enough protection for my toes 🙂
nice! Yeah, low profile works very well for me too 👍🏽
I also wear feiyue for jumping rope.
another one is BackYard footwear, thinner soles and much more durable than feiyue.
nice! I might look into that one
Could you please link the ones you get?
hey, apologies for the delayed response here, busy times recently!

great vid, but consider investing in a microphone, because your voice is genuinely difficult to hear.

Got a mic a little while after this one, so hopefully that's all sorted going forward.

I want to try vibrams but I have a dislocated toe so probably won’t do me any good until I get my surgery. 😂
Yeah, let that heal up fully! Would be interested to hear how you get on with those when you get round to it, heard the vibrams are very lightweight 👌🏽
If I could find Bruce lee Kung fun shoes or Chinese slippers which I grew up using as a teen. I think they would work.
yes, those are low profile also - I'm sure they will also be suitable for you
@@RopeRage im gonna hit my Chinatown. They sell for cheap , plastic soles and all LOL. GREAT CHANNEL KEEP IT UP!
Addidas boxing shoes for me!
Ron C how do they feel for you? I’ll be trying boxing shoes soon myself 👍
This would be good if it wasnt for the audio
I appreciate it James, yeah this was far from perfect and a new video format we were trying out some time ago.
Things are much better these days with audio, so hopefully audio isn't a detractory aspect for more videos in future
Have you listened to this video?
Asics Tiger GEL-Kayano EVO Trainers 👟 for me
Bob Carter nice, I’ve always liked the look of Tigers - are they comfortable/lightweight as well?
Rope Rage Hi I love your skills awesome skipping!
Yes really comfortable, especially once warn in, won’t jump in anything else.
Nice and light, I know you said you didn’t like jumping in running shoes but trust me the sole is perfect, no pain on soles of your feet and last ages really well made no glue coming apart or anything.
