FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, the Box Hog 4 shoes are specifically designed for athletic performance, particularly boxing and training. Their specialized outsole and support features are optimized for these activities rather than casual daily use.
How much recycled material is in the upper?
The upper features at least 50% recycled content, with the brand utilizing this as part of its initiative to help end plastic waste.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?
The die-cut EVA midsole wedge is designed to support your midfoot, providing a stable stance and helping to absorb impact during dynamic movements.
How should I clean my Box Hog 4 shoes?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
Can I use these shoes on outdoor surfaces?
These shoes are intended for indoor use on clean training surfaces like gym mats or boxing rings. Use on rough outdoor surfaces may damage the outsole and affect performance.
What is the purpose of the inner reinforcements?
The inner reinforcements, along with the lacing system, are designed to provide a secure and locked-in fit, essential for preventing foot slippage during intense training.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are not overtightened. Try wearing them with thinner socks. If tightness persists after a break-in period, consider if this is the correct size for your foot.
Lack of grip on the mat
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. Gym mats should be clean and dry. If the shoes are older, the outsole grip may have diminished over time.
Discomfort in the midfoot
The die-cut EVA midsole provides support. Ensure the laces are adjusted to allow for proper foot positioning within the shoe. Some break-in time may be required for the midsole to conform to your foot.

Compatibility: These shoes are primarily designed for boxing, martial arts, and high-impact training where agile footwork and ankle support are paramount. They are suitable for use on standard boxing ring canvas, gym mats, and other clean indoor training surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
