The RIVAT F1 Black shoes are designed for high-level competitors and regular athletes looking to combine performance and comfort. This unisex model is suitable for all body types and types of practice, both for intensive training and competition. However, they are not recommended for fencers with a very powerful kick due to their specific structure. They are suitable for use in the ring or parquet, but not for abrasive surfaces.

For optimal comfort, it is recommended to choose a size larger than your usual street shoe size. For example, if you wear a size 42 in the city, choose a size 43 in F1 Black. This advice ensures a snug fit without excessive compression, which is essential for avoiding injuries and ensuring good freedom of movement. Also consult our "choosing your shoe size" guide for more details.

The RIVAT sole is the result of 35 years of research and development. It offers a perfect balance between flex, hardness, grip, and abrasion resistance. Its premium rubber is non-marking and gains grip with use, an effect comparable to Formula 1 tires. This sole guarantees excellent stability and precise ground contact, essential for the rapid movements and frequent changes of direction in French boxing.

Made from premium chrome-free leather and reinforced canvas, the F1 Black offers durability and lightweight performance. The liner is mesh-lined for breathability, and the preformed Cool Max insole provides excellent cushioning. The high, mesh-lined tongue with lace loop, thermoformed heel counter, and contoured lace cover provide optimal support. Memory foam cushioning protects sensitive areas and ensures comfort and security throughout your workout.

To maintain the quality and durability of your shoes, clean them regularly with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive products. Allow them to air dry, away from direct heat sources. It is recommended to use specific products for leather and canvas to maintain suppleness and strength. Regular maintenance prolongs the life of the shoe and maintains its technical properties, for lasting comfort and performance.
