Favorite headgear- AIBA approved Sting or Adidas head gear (found here: https://www.stingsports.com/us/productdetail/?prodid=771&catid=37 and https://www.amazon.com/adidas-AIBA-approved-Boxing-Guard/dp/B009P8U2F6) , most international competitions use them and I feel like these two brands understand that headgear is mostly to reduce cuts, and designed their headgears as such. If you are looking for a budget the ringside competition ones are also nice and can be bought with cheek protectors if that your thing. (http://www.ringside.com/ringside-competition-boxing-headgear-no-cheeks-13.html)

For shoes the Adidas Box Hog 2s are really well liked by everyone I know and I plan on either those or the Nike KOs soon. (https://www.amazon.com/Adidas-Box-Hog-Boxing-Shoes/dp/B00EA18MWS and here's the Nike KOs if you really want to break the bank: https://www.athleteps.com/boxing-shoes/
and if you're looking for budget I recommend rival's boxing shoes. They are a fair price and come in many different styles (http://rivalboxing.us/collections/footwear/products/low-cut-boxing-boot-with-mesh) keep in mind a lot of sporting good stores will carry cheap wrestling shoes which will also suffice and you may prefer if you want to be able to try them on. If you do go that route the two best brands are Asics and Adidas.

Groin protectors are all personal preference depending on the shape of your body and how much you want to trade off comfort for protection. Title and Ringside should have anything you need on this front but it's very subjective so get what you like best. Some people like the full groin protectors (me) and some like just a basic jock strap.

You didn't mention it but for gloves I highly reccomend anything Rival. Have never had a problem with them and everyone I know who uses them (from their budget to their high end stuff) love them. for budget I recommend their new RB7 gloves (http://rivalboxing.us/collections/gloves-bag-gloves/products/bag-glove) and for high end I recommend their evolution series.

Good cross training shoes (training for strength, speed, skill) need ankle support and good grip decent flexibility and sturdy and not be too spongy or too archy cause it makes weight lifting especially legs difficult and or less productive. Also, being lightweight and breathable.

Boxing cross trainers are really good all around shoe if you are going to be doing a lot of different types of workouts in them i.e. the following 3
They r in order of top rated and most to least expensive.

If you are mostly going to stick to weightlifting and caliestenics work having a flat sole and lightweight shoe with moderate flexibility is a pretty mix to go for but i wouldnt recomend much in the way of cardio with the following, (probably not the best for long distance running for example) decent for jumprope or stair climbing though

If you are going to do mostly a lot of hard impact running you should maybe go for tennis, basket ball, and cross country shoes due to the shock absorbent soles and slightly wider base of the shoes to distribute the shock a bit more evenly. The higher arches generally found in these types of shoes make some weight lifting less than desireable i.e. the squats and deadlifts for example due to forcing you to be in an awkward center of gravity like putting more of ur balance and weight onto the balls of your feet versus the heels which is good for running and sprinting and cycling and jumping (jumprope,tennis,basketball) but not for squats and weight lifting because you are supposed to load your weight on your heels for compound movements to have the appropriate load bearing distribution on your body and fully engage your core to prevent injury.

It all really depends on what you are doing.
If you are going to be rock climbing a lot get good rock climbing shoes. If you are going to hike a lot get good hiking boots. Most timerland boots are reliable and comfortable and designed for that. If you are going to train on grass a lot i would reccomend soccer cleats or turf shoes. Like the adidas mundiales or the nike predators.

I myself own a decent mix

For most all around training i use the adidas box hog 2.

For pure weightlifting or calisthenics i wear my converse.

For soccer and grass and turf training i wear my adidas mundials.

For hiking and bouldering i wear my timberland hiking boots.

For casual going out i wear doc martens usually.

For hospital work i wear some really cheap but super comfy sneakers with thick gel inserts cause you are standing around a lot and walking a lot. For 12 hours at a time. Before i worked in the hospital i was an emt and wore steel toe workboots geared toward firefighters and paramedics with gel inserts.

For everything else there's mastercard. Jk.
