Chinese Feiyue vs French Feiyue



HOW TO IDENTIFY THE CHINESE FEIYUE?

Shoe Tongue:

The Chinese Feiyue has on the tougue, TOPONE (大博文)'s wording and a star incon as trademark logo. When we compare it with the French version, Topone's trademark is replaced with Feiyue and two parallel arrows.

Sole of the Shoe:

Besides the outlook you can see from the photo, I'd like to add a few words for this part. The sole of Chinese Feiyue, has thinner sole with not much padding as they are built excellently for martial arts which require a wide range of foot motion or very low stances (like karate/Northern style kung fu/wushu) because they leave the ankles uncovered, allowing a large range of ankle flexibility.

The inside of the shoe, you can see the size printed on it. They're also good because the flat sole keeps you from pronating while doing kicks or being in low stances, which can sprain or strain an ankle.

French Feiyue are manufactured with thicker padding.


The Logo Print
You will notice that the Chinese Feiyue, the spelling looks like Feivue, but this is the original Chinese Feiyue worn by all the shaolin kungfu monks, in fact it's also spelt Feiyue, only because the poor printing caused your misunderstanding.

Packaging:

Each pack of Original Chinese Feiyue comes packed in brown paper bag. They are vintage and very cool looking.
