Can’t go wrong with Mercurial Vapors. Great shoe and very comfortable with amazing quality.

Really Nice Boot And Recommend

The boot was really nice and had a wide fit. It is true to your shoe size which is always nice. Anyways, the boot performs well on the pitch and is one of my favourite purchases in these last few years.

Overall Good Imtermediate-pro Boot

Not too shabby these boots. Bought em for my little brother and he said they are pretty grippy. Nice turns and shots on Astro turf

Would Not Recommend

I reluctantly paid this price but justified it because of the amount of football / soccer my daughter plays. I wouldn’t recommend these at a third of the price! They are so difficult to get on and she does not find them comfortable. The poor thing insists on wearing them because she knows how expensive they were but I have had to give in to get her another pair. Complete waste of money! Will not be buying Nike boots for any of my kids again.

Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro Little/big Kids' Fg Low-top Soccer Cleats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Immediately out of the box you can see that these cleats are high quality. They appear well constructed and the stitching is without defect. The design is sleek, minimal, and attractive with a single swoosh on the top, an “M” and smaller swoosh on the inner part of the shoe, and a colored plate of cleats on the bottom. The cleats feel light but durable. The fabric was smooth on the exterior and the inner fabric is soft. My only concern is that the swoosh does seem like it could begin to peel over time as it feels more like a decal than a permanent part of the shoe. If I could change anything, it would be the fit. These cleats ran narrow and smaller than other cleats of the same size from different brands, though knowing that I would likely size up in the future. I really liked that the cleats had a cushion at the top of the heel, it made the shoe more comfortable, especially in the breaking in phase.

Cool Cleats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These cleats allowed my son to run and change direction quickly. The cloth around the ankle makes them comfortable and not having a tongue to get twisted has been super helpful. We love the design and he loves wearing them! The only negative we have seen is that they can be hard to get on, but once they are on, they fit great!

Comfort Meets Performance: A Standout Review Of Nike’s Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro Cleats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has had the opportunity to try out the Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro Little/Big Kids' FG Low-Top Soccer Cleats, I can confidently say these are a game-changer for young athletes—even though the pair I received was just a touch off in size. What immediately stood out was the unbelievable lightness of the cleats. Wearing them feels almost like putting on a second skin—delivering pure speed and agility with every sprint, cut, and pivot. Despite their featherweight feel, the construction is impressively sturdy and solid, giving you confidence with every step. Key Highlights Feel & Comfort: The fit around the foot hugs snugly (even if slightly the wrong size in my case), and I could easily imagine how perfect the comfort would be in the right size. The extra padding around the ankle and the back of the heel elevates the comfort game, preventing any rubbing or blisters during those first break-in sessions. Easy On & Off: Sliding these cleats on is a breeze. The design makes it simple—even for energetic kids—without any struggle, making pre-game prep hassle-free. Design & Aesthetics: The color and overall fresh design are absolutely striking. There's a modern edge without being too flashy, making these cleats an instant standout on any field. Performance: The grip on firm ground is reliable and secure. Even during quick turns and sprints, traction was consistent, thanks to the well-engineered soleplate. Breathability & Freshness: Even in the summer heat, my feet felt cool and dry—Nike clearly put thought into ventilation and moisture management. Final Thoughts Honestly, the only thing I would change is the size. Every other element—from feel to looks, from protection to performance—is dialed in beautifully. For any young player (or parent looking for the perfect pair), I would wholeheartedly recommend the Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro cleats. They blend comfort, innovation, and style into a top-tier soccer experience. If you’re ready to level up on the soccer field, these are the boots to choose.

Great Style And Comfort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 8-year-old daughter has been through three pairs of cleats in the past year and these are been her favorite. She normally wears a size 4 in sneakers, size 4.5Y in these clears fits her perfectly. The sleek design looks great, and the fabric along the laces, around the ankles and heel adds noticeable comfort. They were a little snug to get on at first, but once she got used to them, she really liked the stretch and secure fit around the ankle. The very first thing she said after her first time wearing them to practice was how comfortable they are—the extra cushion in the heel is definitely a standout feature. One note: the laces can be a bit tricky to tighten. Her only “complaint” is that she wishes I had gone with one of the brighter color options. Overall, a great mix of style, comfort, and performance for young soccer players.

Cool Soccer Cleats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves these soccer cleats! Although they were a little difficult to put on at first (tight squeeze!), my son said they were very comfortable to run & play soccer in. I like that there isn't a separate tongue that can get pushed down when putting the cleats on. They seem to run true to size. My son said these are "very drippy" which means they're cool! Overall id recommend these cleats for any kid playing soccer!

Best Cleats, Hands Down!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro Kids Firm-Ground Low Top Soccer Cleats are hands down the best pair of cleats we’ve ever owned. Premium quality and function, which is an absolute must on the soccer field. They are lightweight and flexible, which greatly improves my sons speed on the field. Love that they are easy to get on by himself and very breathable to keep him comfortable throughout a full practice or game. Keeps him dry and sweat free, which is highly rare when wearing cleats. Not only do these cleats offer improved performance, they are also extremely stylish. Every single player and parent made a comment about how nice they were. Exactly what we have been looking for! If you're looking for a soccer cleat that is true to size, will aid in better performance and has that you came to play look, look no further. Can’t recommend the Jr Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro’s enough!

Worth It Once Broken In

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these for my 7-year-old and heads up—they’re a little tricky at first. No tongue and snug right above the ankle, so getting them on took some wiggling and a bit of “soccer cleat wrestling” before practice. The style is minimalist and sleek, and the fabric/materials feel really high quality and super durable. The cleats themselves are very well designed—my daughter says running, stopping, and turning all feel really secure. After a few days they loosened up, and now she says they’re super comfy and loves playing in them. If you can get through that short break-in period, they’re a total win. My overall favorite thing about them is the design and quality. If I could change one thing, I’d add a little more elasticity to the opening to make them easier to get on and off.

Snug, Sporty, And Comfy Cleats For Kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loved running in these cleats. The stretchy ankle opening was great for moving her feet around and making “big kicks” against the ball. She was quite comfortable without the addition of a tongue in the shoe too! One item to note is that the shoes seem to run a bit large (long) so there was a bit of extra space at the toes to grow into.

Son And Mom Approved Cleats!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I opened the shoebox, my 10 year old son was so excited to wear the Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro Little/Big Kids' FG Low-Top Soccer Cleats. He thinks they look cool (dare I say it's fire?) and really likes the color and minimalistic design (main color black with Nike swoosh and accents in a cornflower blue). The cleats fit pretty well (true to size), but my son had some difficulty getting them on/off since the knit material is more snug than past cleats and the laces are not easily loosened either and a bit short.  I don't have to worry about him accidentally losing a shoe mid-game! I would not recommend for kids with wider feet as they do seem narrow. Overall, they were comfortable from first wear (no blisters!) and very light weight. The shoes seem very durable with high quality materials and I appreciate that it is also made with recycled content.  As for performance, my son felt he could change directions quickly and was comfortable sprinting and handling the ball.  These cleats are stylish, comfortable, and I have no doubt these will improve my son's performance on the field this fall. We give these more of a 4.5 star than a 4 star.

Looks Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is a soccer player and will begin his season so. At the moment, these shoes are a little too big for him. They are very lightweight, and smooth, so I’m excited for him to use them when he grows into them.

Nice Cleats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cool cleats, my son loves them! They fit true to size and are comfortable with plenty of arch support. The exterior has a plastic type coating which is great for waterproofing. Not sure about breathability yet. I love the color combo, looks sporty and sleek. My son is happy with these!
