If anyone is considering the difference between French and Chinese Feiyue and which to buy here's my experience: The Chinese Feiyue are out-of-the-box much more flexible and have a thinner sole/padding. If you're hardcore set on martial art and parkour training, and you want to support the company with the more 'authentic' heritage, the Chinese ones are for you.
The French versions are out of the box more rigid and have a more noticeable foam insole (which can be removed). This cushioning and support make them much better for walking and regular gym lifting. THAT SAID, once you break them in, you notice they will get very thin and very flexible. I have been wearing my pair of French Feiyue ROUGH at the gym for 6 days a week for over a year, and now I could fold them in half twice over without any effort and feel every pebble under my step. The origin of the French brand is mired in either misunderstanding or malice. But remember, the French shoes (just like most American owned shoes) are made in and exported from China anyways. It wouldn't even shock me if they came from the same factories .
Summary:
Chinese = better out the box for Martial Arts, more authentic, harder to source
French = better out the box for gym or streetwear, not the OGs, but easier to source abroad.
All I wanted to know was how flexible they are, glad you showed that. Been committed to Vivo shoes for years now and am looking for something a bit more affordable.
Hello sir, I think you forgot to mention that the original are the Dafu, the top one feyues are a contractor of the dafu. The Dafu company renamed the shoe from Feiyue to Dafu and at the bottom of the shoe instead of green triangle they have a red dot.
People say that the Dafu have thicker sole
Thank you for the info!
Just placed an order after finding your videos. I bought one pair for walking and casual wear and another for gym (squatting and deadlift)
How are they ?
@@SonOftheBattleCryThey’re great! Personally I prefer my white pair I just think they look better in person! Want to get a hi top pair next! Also perfect squat and deadlift shoes!!
Thanks so much for this info dawg! The whole feiyue thing is a minefield! Those black with red triangle high tops with the thinner flatter sole are by far my favourite feiyue. The build quality overall seems to me to be far superior. I’m only a few weeks into a fresh pair but the sole seems to hold out way better. Not as squishy but as flexible. Are you saying there’s no way to order these from China and know your getting the right ones? To clarify I’m in Australia and I’d be keen on retailing them to the public.
Awesome video!
Thank You!!
I have tried many different types of shoes for wushu/kung-fu. These are the best so far in terms of overall performance, grip and experience. Time will tell how the last but they where very afforable priced so buying another pair seems very likely. Thanx for the quick service and great video review that caught my attention as well as meeting my needs. Only thing I have to do after being very swetty is to re-tie the shoelaces once per practise after 1 hours of use.
Hey Tommy, Thanks for the message and yes tying your shoelaces is always a good idea during Kung Fu sessions. Glad you like the shoes, you should find them pretty durable. If you're training on hard ground, gravel etc, they will wear out fairly quick but on grass, indoor surfaces you'll get loads more life out of them
Could you please share an update? We're they durable. I just got my own pair.
Thanks for this video. What about Lutai wushu shoes ? They look like Feiyue and have the green triangle
Should I avoid wearing them to run in the rain?
I want to workout outside and its raining so im afraid it'll somehow ruin them in the long term?
I should’ve bought these when I visited China a few years ago.
yeah they are everywhere in China!
I bought them once, found them crappy. I ended up with Nike CR7, indoor soccer shoes, nothing ever beat them. Perfect grip, fits like a glove, stable feet.
Wow really? I've never heard of someone using football shoes for Kung Fu. The football shoes will probably last longer but thats why they will roughly be about £90 and the feiyues are only £25
Hello Enso Martial Arts Shop. I have mild cerebral palsy and flat feet with extra bones in them. I've been looking for a minimalist pair of shoes that are comfortable, supportive, durable and breathable. Would you recommend these over a pair of $260 Vevo Barefoot shoes? I'm currently wearing a pair of classic kung fu shoes and I feel like these would be an essential upgrade without breaking the bank.
These shoes are extremely comfortable and do give you a bare foot feel, we do not know if they will be the perfect shoe for yourself but as you said they wont break the bank so can always give them a go
I used to wear them 9-10 years ago 😅
Wow thats Crazy!!
I'm a US size 8 1/2, what's the UK size?
The Real & Original Feiyue are from China NOT France, stole the design and intellectual property. The Real and Original are affordable and they also have the circle logo on the bottom of shoe.
True. What is being shown here is not the real and original Chinese Feiyue
Can the original ones still be purchased?
yes, it is the original look at the bottom of feiyue shoes of shaolin monks when they are stretching you ll see the triangle
I’ve bought a pair of top one navy blue feiyues
They look so cool, have u ever seen these ? I think they are rare
Hey man, yeah seen all sorts of Feiyue designs, so many. They did stop doing them for a while but have seen a few more recently. I love the grey denim ones the best, but haven't seen them for years
How does the sizing work for US shoes sizes? I wear a EEE width cowboy boot. My foot width is around 11-12 cm if I remember my conversions correctly. Would a Feiyue shoe fit a foot that wide?
They’re pretty narrow
The red triangle hi-top version had too hard sides and the canvas broke within 3 months for me, been more lucky with the green triangle one.
We will always try and get the green triangle in!
Hi, have you experienced a creaking noise from the back of the feiyue low top? Mine do this after about an hour wearing them around the house. I’d be interested to know if it’s common or a defect of my shoes. Thank you.
they do crack and break over time, but this can normally take over a year to happen, obviously it all depends on how much you wear them.
Perhaps a dumb question, but can you run/sprint in these? I would much prefer this over a pair of running shoes at the moment as most of my exercise consists of lifting followed by a sprint after every training session.
not at all, We normally recommend just doing kung fu with the feyiue shoes but i have known people to do all different types of gym work with them like, Lifting, Cross Fit, Yoga, Gymnastics and even Running. it really depends on the person wearing them.
Would you recommend these for squats/deadlifts?
They give you a bare foot feel and we have had a few people who use them for deadlifting and squats
Hi Enso, what about ballop (german brand) minimalist / skinfit/ barefoot shoes for outdoor kendo practice?
Hi Cyril, I've never heard of Ballop, I'll check it out
I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis for the past 6 months on and off. I just stopped wearing HOKA shoes because they were giving me a lot of pain. I've been walking around the house barefoot most of the time. I really want to transition to minimal shoes. What do you thiunk about wearing these as a transition shoe, wearing them lightly/moderately for daily things?
I've transitioned into barefoot running and have just received a pair of Feiyues as a minimalist casual shoe. These work great! As well a being comfortable and allowing your feet to move freely and get stronger they also look really good. Lots of minimalist shoes look awful but I will ve sticking with Feiyues.
I think they're good as a minimalist shoe, just a bit tighter in the toe cap than more barefoot shoes so don't use a too small size or it'll squeeze the toes. The only thing I've had to do while transitioning is stretching the Achilles tendons a bit before going running.
I was checking these out and I saw them really cheap, but the ones I saw were the vegan leather, not canvas, is vegan leather bad
Have you ever come across a pair that have the green triangle but instead of "top one" they say "taiji wen" on the tongue with a ying yang logo between the two words. Canvas is slightly thicker and the sole is thicker also. FEIYUE font is slightly different also. Any info on these?
I also saw that one, tai ji wen on the tongue.
You got some info about it already?
@@Bumiround no not at all can't find anything about them.
@@sb-vy8cw how bout the quality and fit?
@@Bumiround i prefer the top one variant. Lighter, more flexible and thinner sole.
Whats the difference in the green triangle and the Red circle on the bottom?
Ooo good question, they are all still Feiyue but he green triangle are the original feiyue shoe design. The red triangle are slightly hard rubber so better for day to day use but they are prone to splitting. The green triangle are softer so lots more grip but can wear out faster if you use them as a daily shoe. Much better for training though
From what I've found on Reddit, these are made in three factories:
French - Established in 2006 by Patrice Bastian, the shoe's sole has a red circle, thicker and narrower sole than other 2 chinese brands, thicker fabric, less fit for martial arts than the other 2 chinese brands.
DaFu - Originally a factory for rubber, they started making feiyue shoes way back in 1920's, the outsole has a red circle, thicker and less flexible than "Top One" manufacturer, i think has same width as "Top One", looks slightly better than "Top One" shoe, the logo on the shoe is "feiyue" as opposed to "feivue" (notice the 'y' looks like a 'v') that the "Top One" shoes have. The shoe model is 501.
Top One - Also produced shoes since way back, these are the original shoes that shaolin monks and martial artists in china have been using, the outsole has a green triangle on the bottom, the outsole is thinner and more flexible than the "DaFu" shoes, the logo looks like "feivue" ('y' looks like a 'v'). The shoe model is 511. I have also seen high top "Top One" shoes with a red triangle on the bottom on aliexpress.
I can't contact customer service because I live in the U.S. What size should I buy if I wear a size 9 in women's (U.S)?
Hi Gabriella, you would need a size 40 on our website
@@EnsoMartialArts wow I just kinda guessed and ordered a size 40 anyways! Thanks!
bought mine from ebay. But mine has red circle in the bottom. Did I get the wrong one. But is cheap and still very comfortable.
The Red circle is a very old style, haven't seen them for a while. They should still be from the factory in china and be okay for training.
The red circle is typically the originals, meaning not inherited through the original company (Dafu) or it's rights being sold or via some longstanding international trademarks war that were legally, but questionably acquired. Does it say Dafu in the circle? What about inside the shoe? What is on the tongue?
Are they good for wearing them whole day , using them as working shoes , while standing whole day on your feets ??
We have had quite a few people buy them who wear them for work/ general day to day stuff. They will wear out fast depending on how much you wear them and how much you move.
Nave foi sapatilha for taekwondo pros peck ,?
Are they good for the mat ?
Hi, to be honest i think they will have a bit to much grip on mat that already grips, but everyone is different
Wrestling shoes or boxing shoes for the Matt but If you doing striking or grappling just stay bare foot
will they be good for boxing?
We wouldn't Recommend these for boxing, check out our website and we have a few pairs on there
Do you know if the feiyues on Amazon are legit
We have had alot of customers come to us after buying from amazon and they say its not the correct style. we do not order from amazon we get them directly from Feiyue
I'm out of options, I've been looking toward espadrilles, footsal shoes (indoor football), aquatic wading shoes and goddamn ballet slippers

They’re looking so cool. But unfortunately they‘re way too tight for my toe‘s 😢
They can be quite tight! have you tried going up a size?
hey mate I sent you an email a few days ago, just wondering if you received it?
We should have replied now, had an email blitz today.
@@EnsoMartialArts Nothing yet but I can wait, all good... I'll send it through again incase it didn't work.
How can i order. I like to get it
Here's a link to our website; shop.ensomartialarts.com/footwear/
You can grab them from here!!
Just a size warning to anyone who wears a UK 12/EU46 these shoes are small. I just ordered a pair of UK 12 and they don't fit at all, not even close. I've ordered quite a few pairs of sneakers lately from adidas, dunlop and Onitsuka Tiger and they all fit me in UK 12 but these Feiyue Lo shoes do not. SO annoying.
Hi Adam, yeah the feiyues are always quite tight so most people have to go for a size up because there is no give in them unlike shoes from adidas, dunlop and onitsuka tiger.
@@EnsoMartialArts That would've been a handy bit of text to read at point of sale. As there is not UK 13 I wouldn't have bought them. Damn shame cause they're a great looking shoe.
Yes I wear a size 10-10 1/2 US, and equivalent size is a CN275/EU45.
i tried to buy some of the black low tops from your shop, but jesus, the shipping costs to the US were even more expensive than the shoes themselves. if only i could afford a pair of top ones.
Have you emailed us, shipping has gone crazy this year but if you email shop@ensomartialarts.com with your full address details I'll get the best price I can for you.
They have a website and ship cheap to America
@@FFmaxxx can you explain? I just paid 37 pounds to ship to the US
@@captainkilos I even won a free pair on their giveaway!
If your ever in NYC go to bok lei po trading they sell Feiyue(Top Ones) the white ones for $18 and the black for $20 as of 2021.
I want original Chinese feiyue shoes
Get the lowtops, they are the original Feiyues Shoes
If i want to buy Them they get so expensive because there is i don’t know The Word in english but a tax on The things so they get really expensive
Import fees
@@defjulz I’m from Denmark and here we Call it something Else. That’s also Why some of The Words are with Big because autocomplete just does that. I can’t chance it.
@@clarastensig7021 that’s ok. Your message is easy to understand
Yeah the delivery charges are quite a bit! but were always here if you need
These are made in DaFu right?
Also I wanted to get two pairs but shipping to the US was 37 pounds! :(
Yeah in Shanghai at the Feiyue Factory. Yes Shipping to the US is usually around that amount.
@@EnsoMartialArts The "Top one" Feiyue is made in Dabowen not Dafu. The Dafu one has red dot on the rubber sole.
Feiyue was plagiarized by a french company. Using a Chinese brand which was originated from the idea of chairman mao was absurd. There's no such thing as feiyue language in french. Feiyue was the brand since chairman mao era. Feiyue brand must be protected and must be listed as intangible brand of china as it has already 90 yrs. Feiyue started as a military shoe company and started manufacturing rubber shoes when they have many supplies of rubber. Feiyue wasn't a french brand.
There is the french Feiyue for fashion and there is the Chinese ones that we get that are more for training
You are correct. As the story goes...
The original creator & producer of Feiyue is DaFu. DaFu started as a Tire Company but got into shoe manufacturing because of their access to exorbitant amounts of rubber. DaFu binds their shoes by literally baking them, which is one of the reasons their brand/ version remain superior to the French & other Knock Offs. During the time the classic version (red blue stripes) came out DaFu was primarily making military shoes (military demand died out in late 1950s) and that shoe is actually inspired by the military shoe DaFu was making at that time; although Feiyue's first shoe was marketed & sold in 1920s. The name of DaFu's creation (Feiyue) comes from the Great Chinese Military General Yue Fei (1103 to 1142). Yue Fei was posthumously named Wumu by Emperor Xiazong (1169) & again later granted the posthumous noble title "King of É" by emperor Ninzong (1211). Yue Fei was well trained in military strategy, the 108 weapons of war, and many other styles of learning including Emei Dapeng Qigong & was said to have mastered & demonstrated extraordinary abilities, some even described those abilities as _supernatural._
When China opened its market to the world in the 80s, DaFu was then competing with the likes of Nike, Converse, Adidas, and such, and soon found themselves bankrupt, and at which time they chose to sell the rights of Feiyue to two men (Wansheng & Qinlong).
In 2005, Patrice Bastian (French Owner of rights to Feiyue, Feiyue International LLC) learned of the shoe while Training in Shanghai & saw Feiyue's potential in the world marketplace & bought the rights to Feiyue, but instead of buying from the actual owners, he bought from a contractor (a licensed manufacturer) & since the True Owners, including original creators never registered for an International Trademark for the Feiyue brand, and Bastian did, Bastian won the suit that was filed against Him in a France Court by DaFu. The win gave Bastian the rights to the actual name & restricted DaFu to selling their version, the original version, to China only. In the words of the owners (DaFu), "From an Intellectual Property perspective, it had a negative impact on us, but in terms of brand development and reputation, I think it's helpful."
Now DaFu has rebranded themselves to differentiate themselves from the French version of Feiyue by putting DaFu on soles with red circle (DaFu) & writing Dafu on Tongue & Inside the shoe.
in 2014, the French Version was sold to BBC International a US based footwear company.
So as it goes, DaFu owns the rights to Feiyue in China (Manufacturing licenses are also granted to Chinese company that sports the TOP ONE logo with green triangle on bottom) & the French version, now owned by BBC owns the rights at the world level, except China.
As a 27 Year Veteran Martial Artist, I personally lean to the originals, which are constructed to support MA training. As Enso Owner has noted: French version is more "fashion" focused. They are less flexible, less durable & thus less suitable for training.
Feiyue (pronounced Fay-Yoo-Ehh).
The Feiyue journey is truly a BitterSweet one.
when french dude exploit of a chinese shoe brand making french knock off. 🤣
There is the french Feiyue for fashion and there is the Chinese ones that we get that are more for training
@@EnsoMartialArts you mean the french knockoff and the legit chinese brand.
Put tf shoe on
Ive got a pair on, i'll move the camera to show next time
Dafu better
Don't want to piss in your cornflakes but first of all, you pronounce Feiyue wrong. It's Feiyue not Feiyu.
Second, all the feiyue are made in Shanghai and there's no such a thing as fake Feiyue.
You're selling Feiyue shoes with a 'green' triangle. These shoes are made for the French and international market and cannot be sold within China.
The red dot Feiyue, is called Dafu Feiyue, and has a round sole, instead of the flat sole that is produced for the French market. The red dot Feiyue can only be sold within China.
You can buy the Dafu Feiyue for 30 RMB. That's about 21 Pounds.
You're selling it for 23 Pounds, that's 200 RMB...
We can buy green triangle Feiyue here in China, they called Dabowen Feiyue. In my opinion, better quality than Dafu Feiyue(the red dot one).
Thanks for the comment!
