Got these because they appeared like they could provide better ankle support for my Adult league indoor games. They certainly delivered! I had more confidence in my movements and foot work off the ball, due to its light wheight design and superior grip. On the ball, these really do feel like an extension of your foot. The ankle support felt like it gave me greater stability for sharp cuts and step overs. The toe area somehow was giving me fantastic touch control and accuracy when juggling and striking. I didnt realize my boots were affecting my game so much till I tried these and on the first game with them I scored a hat trick and had numerous accurate passes and assists. Definitely not a placebo because especially when your older, lighter more comfortable and supportive boots will elevate your game for sure. There is a bit of a break in period, and I did feel slight discomfort where the inside stitching material for the lace loops was interfering with the top of my left foot, I worked out in these for an hour before the game to try and break them in, and by game time it was much less discomfort. Hopefully the more I play in them the more that goes away. I also have super wide feet and was nervous out the box cause the soles on these look really skinny. But they stretch and conform and I no issues. Overall they look great and are eye catching, super comfortable, great touch, supportive and lightweight, a little stiff but that seems to be getting better with use, anyways I definitely reccomend!
