What can I find some Fencing shoes?
September 2nd, 2008EDIT: Some of the links below are out of date. In addition, due to the strong response we recieved about this page, we have opened a new website devoted entirely to fencing shoes — Fencing Shoes. Creative name, no? Well, simple name, simple presentation, but hopefully useful information.
Just like with the big list of fencing books, I’m trying to put together a big list of fencing shoes, since its a very common question. Let me know if I’m missing anything. I’ll add the Nike stuff and vendor house brand shoes as I come along ones that are missing.
Also, I keep the links up to date with the least expensive prices I can find, where I can. If you can find something better, drop me a comment and I’ll update.

I have the D’Art II’s and I like them, they fit my feet very well.
My fave shoes though are my Asics ‘Gel Beyond’ (http://www.asas.asicseurope.com/Sports/Product/BN852_GEL-BEYOND.htm), they’re simply wonderful! Excellent cushioning. (The shoe on the website must be an updated version of that model; mine aren’t so ‘glossy’.)
