In boxing, pour avoir de good support, you have to always be on tiptoe, with the slightly off heels.
The space between the ground and your heels will act a little like a spring when you are going to move. When you move, your feet must graze the ground. It's a bit as if you slide on an ice rink lors de vos entrainements.
In addition to keeping you on the toe, you must also have the knees slightly bent. In this way your legs will also play the springs quand vous vous déplacez, augmentant votre resistance.
