Full review
Well if there is one thing I would consider myself to be in-the-know about it is football and especially football boots. Being an avid footballer myself, playing around 5 times a week, I find that the best equipment is essential. This season I am wearing the adidas tunits, however throughout the last I wore these for soft ground conditions.
Well..who are the boots for? As advertised, these are predominantly a lightweight boot, made for those who need the extra edge in speed over other players and those that rely on their pace. They can be used for other players obviously, but I would recommend a different boot - these boots can be a problem for some players, like my team's full back - he was wearing a pair of these for just the third time when he mis-timed a tackle and put a great big tear down the side!!!
Price range? Obviously these boots are aimed at the highre end of the market - they do offer slight take down versions such as the talaria, which are pretty similar and unless you are playing at a high level, dare I say you could hardly tell the difference!
Comfort... I must admit I found these boots rubbed slightly against my heel but I suppose that varies from person to person and the newer version of this boot has been adapted to cope with any rubbing or blistering.
Other Features? This boot does feature the snap stud system, unique to the nike boots. This means that the length of the stud, can be changed by the player with a key in a matter of seconds - ideal for different surface conditions!
Disadvantages? Well the boot is not suited for really hitting the ball from a set piece - in my opinion I find it harder to strike the ball quite as well, or at least with as much feel, as I do with a leather option.
The stats: Material: NikeSkin - super lightweight upper Peeva Fitform sockliner with Poron TM Inserts Nylon sole plate Shape: Full Speedtract plate for extra speed and flex Shaped to foot and arched for a better fit Heel piece to help keep foot in place and protect Weight: Extremely light - under 200g!
