BOOT REVIEW

Okay, so finally I have been able try out these bad boys. I'm going to keep this short. They were brilliant. The touch was great, the comfort was nice, they were very light, and you can kick that ball pretty dang far with these puppies. So all I have to say is; Amazing.



And now this is right this second my latest shoe I have. Now , you're probably thinking, "Man, this kid gets new shoes every week." Not true. These were a gift from my uncle. Thank you uncle. But anyway, unfortunately I can't use these at the time, due to the indoor soccer season, which is due to a little bit of snow on the ground. Hey for Utah, ten inches isn't a lot! Anyways so I can't give you a review of my boots because I haven't used them, but don't worry I will get to that sometime. Oh but as for the fit, they feel very nice :)



















And now for the most recent boot I've gotten; the Adidas Profi Liga. This shoe is amazing I must say. First off it is very light and isn't made of all that synthetic crap so it fits to your foot quite nicely and provides a nice, clean strike. Second off for $125 it seems like a great deal. It's made of leather and is such a nice boot. The only problem I have is that when I used it when the grass was wet, some of the silver on the front of the shoe came off (yes mine are silver unlike the one in the picture).









So just recently I bought a new pair of cleats, The Umbro Revolution X. This cleat is amazing! It's light, you can strike the ball so hard and so accurately. So if your looking for some new cleats I definitely recommend these. They do run a little wider than the Adidas cleats and most of the Nike cleats. Another cleat I recommend is the Puma v1.08, v5.o8, and.... well pretty much all the Puma's that start with V. This shoe is really light and feels like you're not wearing a shoe, it is made of really thin material, and you get a more accurate stike. Also note that if you get stepped on while wearing these Puma's, you will feel a great deal of pain.
















Moving on to another cleat I had. The Nike Total Ninety Laser. This cleat was good for me because it was wide, really snug, you can chip the ball and get a lot of power with them. One problem is, it tears easily and the studs wear down pretty fast. And when they say "Put it where you want it", in my opinion, they're kinda lying. When you kick the ball, you can control which side of the goal it goes, but after the that, the shoe kinda controls where the ball goes and not you. Maybe I just stink at soccer and can't kick the ball like you professionals out there, but in my opinion there is nothing really special about this cleat.














Moving on to another pair of amazing cleats, The Nike Murcurial SL (super light). You may have seen these fancy boots on Christiano Ronaldo and Didier Drogba's feet. These boots are made of carbon fiber and weigh about 6.5 ounces and cost about $400. These cleats are so special that you can pretty much only find them online at big, famous soccer websites, such as World Soccer Shop, or Eurosport.
