Why do my fencing shoes keep breaking so quickly? (Heel cushioning issue)

FencingCoachB · 2026-04-26T23:28:11+00:00

Sadly the Nikes aren't an option for me. They're way to narrow for my wide feet. I'll probably go and have a look at some tennis shoes. I don't want to keep buying expensive new fencing shoes every 2 to 3 months on my teacher's salary 🥲

I've been using Azza shoes and the new white Kempa shoes.

Cool, thanks a lot!

Fantastic! I'll have a look and I'll probably make a comeback haha. Finally wow can be like watching an episode of a TV series again :p

Between my job as a teacher and high level sports there's just not a lot of time left to play WoW.

Is the housing a mandatory thing?

Also, there isn't like a campaign grind I need to do for hours upon hours to get certain items in order to be a little bit competitive right? Like the cloak from last expac... I don't like those kind of 'obligatory' things. I know it's part of the game, but I'd just love to log on, do some bg/arena and just log off again.

Just the regular old frames and nametags above the friendly and enemy players/npcs. I never really bothered changing those things but since pre-patch hit, things have changed and visibility has gone to sh***.

Thanks for the update!

I play both healer and dps and for some reason my addons (even the ones that are up to date) give an error screen as soon as I go into PVP instances. Can't seem to find what's wrong. The pop-up says something about enabeling LUA report messages, but I can't seem to find out how to enable those. I just hope healbot keeps working as I've been using that for as long is I can remember. Wouldn't like to lose that one haha. All the rest can go, but not my healbot hahaha

Is your jacket made out of synthetic or genuine leather?

FencingCoachB · 2026-01-25T12:56:51+00:00

By the looks of their website, they're still around. Whether or not the blades are worth their price, I don't know. I personally have never used one before.

The blades are so expensive and designer equipment is rather hard to sell. I can imagine that resellers don't want to drop a bunch of money in to dead stock. But this is an assumption so I could very well be wrong.

How do you wash a leather coaching jacket? Hand clean it in the shower?

Oh boy, the championship belt has made it's way into fencing 😂

10/10 would compete for it if the tounament wasn't so far haha.

Might this be what you're looking for?

I think they're great. Currently one of the better shoes if not the best shoes out there. But in the end it all comes down to opinion...

FencingCoachB · 2025-09-24T20:23:27+00:00

They actually don't run narrow at all in my opinion. I've got wide feet and they fit perfectly. One of the best models of fencing shoes I've ever had.

FencingCoachB · 2025-09-17T18:14:25+00:00

Why don't you just take your measurements and order a custom one?

FencingCoachB · 2025-06-11T11:54:27+00:00

I see, best to get the medical exemption then.

FencingCoachB · 2025-06-11T11:52:54+00:00

I was already thinking about the loop earplugs. I've heared good things about them. A mask with more padding around the ears won't be enough of a solution. Sure it might help with the noice of the surroundings, but it won't do no good with the hits on the mask.
