The AZZA Master is a competition fencing shoe engineered for elite-level footwork. Its clean white-and-gold build carries the lowest, most grounded profile in the Azza range, an 8 mm drop and a feather-light ~360 g chassis (size 42) that keeps you close to the floor for surgical forefoot control and faster, more precise lunges. Tuned to your stride, the Adaptive Heel System™ No other fencing shoe lets you tune the ride to your body. The patented Adaptive Heel System™ ships with three interchangeable heel pads: Soft, Medium and Hard, so you can match cushioning and rebound to your bodyweight, training load, and fencing style: soft for comfort, stable for control, or explosive for attacking profile. Swap the pad, change the shoe. Engineered mesh upper and durable KPU support The Azza Fencing Master features a lightweight engineered mesh upper combined with advanced KPU support technology for enhanced durability, flexibility and stability. Designed specifically for fencing footwork, this construction delivers breathable comfort, secure support and a natural on-piste feel during fast, multidirectional movements. Carbon stability, reactive rebound An X-CARB™ carbon-fibre shank sits between midsole and outsole, delivering torsional rigidity and a firm, stable platform for the most precise lunges, with near-zero added weight. Beneath it, the NeoHeel+ midsole returns reactive, low-profile rebound for explosive directional changes. Grip, protection and lateral lock The circular-contour outsole is tuned for start, stop and brake on metallic, wooden and synthetic indoor floors, so the shoe decelerates for you on sudden stops. A reinforced upper toe cap shields against repeated lunge impacts, an extended ergonomic heel counter wraps the ankle to distribute load across every recovery, and 3D-moulded ankle collar preventing outward roll on aggressive cuts. Built by an Olympian Azza Sports was founded by Azza Besbes, three-time Olympian and three-time World medalist in fencing, and every model is developed alongside high-level fencers to protect the joints and prevent the overuse injuries that come with hard training. The Master is a unisex shoe for adult fencers, men and women, in EU 36–48, across foil, épée and sabre.
