I bought my F50+'s on Boxing Day of last year they cost me £50.00 from JJB Sports.
They are incredibly well price considering what you are getting for £50.00; they come with changeable insoles which let you pick what the right comfort is, e.g. 'speed' (a nice light insole that will make you lighter on the pitch and therefore quicker, then you have 'comfort' (a cushiony insole that is good if you are playing on hard ground), then the 'professional' insoles (which are inbetween the 'speed' and the 'comfort' insoles. They come in a neat smart little Velcro bag that looks great and is a cool way to keep your insoles in.
Unlike most boots the F50+'s have the laces hidden under a Velcro tongue, which comes down over the laces to make a better surface area for controlling the ball and for shooting at goal with the ball. Because of this surface area I think that it has helped me improve my passing, as there isn't any laces to interferer with the ball.
The boots are the most comfortable that I have bought. When I was asked by my coach to move into striker from left back I was pretty surprised. So I asked why and he said that it was because I had really good ball control, ball skills and a good and accurate kick on me. So reluctantly I said yes I would give it a go. So I went home told my mum and said that I couldn't be a striker in defenders boots so we went down to the nearest JJB Sports with my Christmas money and bought the F50+'s. As soon as I tried them on I could tell that they were the right boots. They were so comfortable and well priced. Naturally after getting my new boots I was excited about playing with them. So it happened to be that the coming weekend was to be my first match as a striker.
In the first 15 minutes I scored with my new boots. I had a ball kicked to me at about chest height and I took the ball on sideways and connected with it and it felt as if it had hit a sweet spot. The control that I had when I was in the air was an amazing feeling, and as it was my first time as striker I was bricking myself because if I mucked up I would look like a fool. I was so happy and I went on to score a further 3 goals to win 5-0.
I would recommend these boots to anyone who wished to purchase them whether they are striker, midfielder or defender.
The only problem with these boots is that soul of the boot looks as if it is coming away from the boot itself. But don't worry this can be prevented if you spray them in a protective layer of water proofing spray.
