DEEP REVIEWS
The three you should actually buy.
01 · BEST OVERALL
9.4/10
Nfinity Vengeance
$110
Still the gold standard. The Vengeance does everything well: the heel locks, the upper holds shape through a hot August tryout, and they look right on the mat.
What we loved
- Locked-in fit
- Holds shape full season
- Universally accepted by gyms
Trade-offs
- Premium price
- Narrow toe-box for wide feet
02 · BEST BUDGET
8.1/10
Chassé Apex
$60
Better than it has any right to be at this price. We tested four pairs across two athletes and watched zero structural failures across a full Level 2 season.
What we loved
- Half the price of the field
- Comfortable out of the box
- Wide-foot friendly
Trade-offs
- Heavier
- Upper softens by month 4
03 · BEST FOR FLYERS
8.5/10
Nfinity Flyte
$95
A slimmer toe-box and a paper-thin sole — flyers will feel their base's hands and bases will feel where the flyer's weight actually is.
What we loved
- Sole feedback for flyers
- Lightest in the test
- Lock-tight heel cup
Trade-offs
- Tight fit — size up half
- Not for bases
