Gotta disagree with the majority of these reviews. I bought these boots just a while ago and gotta say they are not that great and infact i would advise you against them. I play right midfield for my local football team and suffered the 1st injury of my career wearing these boots. Whilst you may think it is unfair to blame the injury on these boots i feel i am justified in making this comment. I was kicked right on the ankle by the opposition and immediately i suffered a ankle injury. That injury was 2 weeks ago and my ankle still feels sore. In the past i have been tackled many times in a similar way and never had an injury before. I used to wear the old school mitre boots and they protected me very well. You can actually bend the tiempos boots all the way round from the middle showing a lack of support. My coach reckoned that had i been wearing my mitre boots the injury would not have occurred as the leather would have been stronger and would have prevented my ankle from twisting. This is just in my experience but i am noticing this more and more in the modern day nike boots. I gotta say in defense of them though that the design is nice and they are extremely light. But maybe as my story proves that isnt such a good thing. If you are a real footballer who likes to play alot and not just against mates but competitively then i would not recommend these boots. Sure they look nice but if they dont prevent injury then it doesnt matter how they look. Save some money and get the old school mitre boots lol, or just buy the total 90s they are my personal favourites and are still quite cheap.
