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 far as these trainers go regarding performance there is only 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.
