Growing up playing soccer in the 90's and early 2000's, I always enjoyed watching some of my favorite players wearing Adidas Copas, Diadora Brasil and Lotto Stadio cleats. You did not have synthetic plastic boots that feel more like Jellie's worn by the Big Lewboski that Nike and other manufactures have placed a $200 plus price tag on since they do not want to harm Kangaroos that are overpopulating Australia with more than 48 million around today that is twice the human population of the country. Anyway, enough of that... let's talk about the Lotto OG boots. I was shopping for some new cleats and feeling nostalgic when I saw the Lotto Stadio OG sitting up on the wall in the traditional black and green and also in the, dare I say sexy, white and black with gold trim. I immediately dropped the the Adidas Copa I was holding (another great boot to be fair) and asked my friendly DSG associate to bring me a 10.5 of the Lotto. I was impressed with the craftsmanship, the soft, supple kangaroo leather that you just know is going to offer touch, control and feel that no synthetic boot will every offer. Also, did I mention they are Made in Italy?!? Ok, need to wrap this up but as for sizing, they run a half a size too big. I sized down to a 10 and it fits like a glove. I plan to polish these boots with a little Chelsea leather food and have a few training sessions with my son to break them in. Thank you Lotto for making such an incredible shoe!!!
