Low cost astro trainer that grips and rips!
Review of Reebok Typhoon Astro by
akgandrew
Advantages: Great traction, great look and hard wearing
Disadvantages: Heavy, hard uppers.
At a first observation these trainers looked smart and seemed to have everything you want. The price tag suggested otherwise and on trying them out I realised why they were low price. This is not to say they are not great value for money though. The grip of the trainers is great allowing for excellent control of dynamic movements without restricting movement and risking injury. I know this as I am studying astroturf footwear as part of a Phd. As ... ...one problem, their weightis a bit too heavy which means you are left with tired legs and a lack of spring in your step. The uppers provide not enough give which can lead to abrasive injuries and also leaves you with a slight degeneration in the feel when playing football.. However they look stylish and for the price they are good value. Would recommend for recreational players of astroturf based sports. ...

Review of Reebok Classico M.D. by
jolal999
Advantages: nice last long cheap
Disadvantages: easily damagable
I think that reebok classics are very good trainers. They last you quite long and also they are a good price to buy and are also quite fashinable. I prefer to buy the cream or blue coloured ones because the pure white ones get very dirty quickly and are hard to clean. They are great trainers for casual wear or leisure wear and also sportswear. I would certainly buy them again and I would recommend them to people. Reebok is a great British company ...

A season and its gone.
Review of Reebok Metallico S.I. by
andycharger
Advantages: Comfortable,good ball control,reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Dont last, studs are poor and chaff your ankles.
Being a weekend footballer, you have to be seen wearing the right stuff, even if you are not that hot on the pitch.
That is why, last season I opted for a pair of Metallicos.
They are a real soft leather boot compared most boots in the price range (30-50 pounds) and were a real comfortable fit. They look real good too with a Black boot and Silver logo on the side.
Performance is really impressive.
They dont boast the grooves of an Adidas Predator ... ...lot more than its competitors. The soft leather helps this a lot.
The padded toe gives a very nice shot and protects your tooties quite a bit. Good for those long Winter Sunday mornings when your feet feel like they will fall off if you strike the ball wrong.
Thats the good points but what about the bad?
It is relatively high cut around the ankle and can give you some chaffing at the side of the foot because of this. Best to wear them around the ...

Review of Nike Mercurial II SG by
jack1foord
Advantages: amazing kicking feel, and kicks the ball right where you want it to go.
Disadvantages: uncomfortable.
I had these boots and as you can see they are very stylish.
These boots were warn by top players such as Ronaldo.
These boots are so good to keep the ball with, i had perfect curl and on target shots with these boots, it will be hard to be them in this section.
The main reason i didnt stay with this boot is that i recieved blisters from them, this is because the inside of the boot is hard and not very comfortable, otherwise this would be one of ... ...out of 8 on the ciao hitlist this shows that many people also love these boots.
These boots vary in price wherever you go, i bought mine for around £80 but that was a few months ago, so its best if you shop around or check out www.ebay.com or www.amazon.com
Overall if your going to have a quick kick around these are perfect, but if your playing almost every day then i would look elsewhere because of the uncomfortably feel you recieve, this is this ...
