Like all soccer shoes, blisters from the first week or so are common. But when I used the Mercurials, I was getting blisters from week one until the end of the season. In my opinion, if you are going to charge around two-hundred dollars for a pair of soccer shoes, at least make them comfortable. Do not get me wrong, these are classy and stylish boots, but "it's on the inside that counts". And I found the material is easily scuffed. Black marks and lines started to appear all over my shoes that I couldn't get rid of. The style of the boot started to decrease as my usage increased. That was the bad criteria of the boot, but these boots are also very good looking, people seemed to have positive compliments, and I seemed impressed the way they were able to control the ball, and grip into the ground which somewhat increased my speed. And I feel it is original in comparison to other Nike models, and all other brands of boots, so I rarely saw other people wearing something the exact same.
