Narrow But Great Texture And Feel On The Ball

I wish they made a wide version. I liked the feel on the ball and the heel hold. But the sizing was too narrow and had to go a full size up

Great Product

This is a great product; you can really feel them adhere to your feet, and striking the ball is fantastic.

Nike Mercurial Zoom Vapor 16 Pro Turf Cleat

My son needed these last minute to play on turf. The associate at Dick's in West Palm Beach was so helpful over the phone to identify what they head in store and in stock. These were great, comfortable and didn't need to be broken in fortunately! They won!

Bad Fit, Despite Awesome Material And Aesthetic

Very cool, the material feels barely there, but unlike the 15 Pros which I love (but which I have in a color I dislike because it was the only one available), these are too narrow for me and give heel blisters. The fit is simply poor (at least for me).

Quality Drop Off Is Abysmal

I have been buying the TF Pro version for a long time, and I have never seen such a drop in quality of the boot. Paying a premium price for the highest quality model should mean something, and this boot felt like an afterthought. I sincerely hope Nike corrects this going forward on future iterations.

Very Comfy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes were very comfortable and didn’t stick to the grass in the soccer field. I loved the color and it’s trendy appearance.

Clean Cleats!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can start by saying that after juggling for the first time Nike has added a new grit to the surface of the shoe and it is very grippy and sticky almost the feel to it to the touch even when I was picking the ball for the first time you can feel it. Nike has added the feature to the texture so you can have a better stick to the ball like if the ball is supposed to stay close to your foot, this is very nice. I’m impressed by how these cleats fit; I can honestly say that these feel like lighter boots than other cleats I’ve tried just from trying them on the first time they are really light on my feet. One of the things I noticed right away is that Nike grip knit technology, so it’s basically the sticky surface that they put all over the forefront and towards the halfway point to the boot. This gives you a better touch or better feel in the ball during both wet and dry conditions and I noticed it right away when the ball was sticky to the cleat. This is also noticeable in the touch; in person you can feel on the boot. I’m really impressed how these looks in person, pictures online do not add the various special and cool details on the boot, these cleats also look very sharp and very athletic. I’m a very big fan now.

Vapor 16 Pros - Turf

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although these shoes run a little big, the fit is great! I am normally a size 11 but need a size 10.5 for this shoe. The heel cushion and ankle sleeve make these super snug and the touch with these boots are fantastic and I was able to put a lot of action on my shots! I'm a big fan of the black and dark green on my pair and it only took me playing twice with them to really break them in. Definitely recommend these if you are a fan of turf shoes!

These Indoor Soccer Cleats Are A Must Have!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a a comfortable yet versatile indoor soccer cleat and these Zoom Vapor 16s is exactly what I have been looking for. Some other indoor soccer cleats I have found to be a bit tight and uncomfortable while playing in them. However, these Zoom Vapor 16s gave me enough comfort and traction. Surprisingly, these cleats also worked on turf quit well and did not experience a lot of slippage compared to other indoor cleats I have tried in the past. Two thumbs up!!

Best Soccer Cleats To Kick A Ball

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design of the Zoom Vapor 16 Pro Soccer Cleats is a very nice soccer cleat. The all black cleats with a hint of blue makes the shoe look elegant. The leather on the cleat feels comfortable and the mesh on the top is stretchy so I can stretch it as I put them on. I do wish the laces were a tad bit longer so they way they will stay tied. Also I’m a size 9.5 and they felt a little snug so I would recommend to size up at least half a size just so they don’t feel tight. But over all it’s a nice elegant soccer cleat that shapes to your foot when you kick the soccer ball. Highly recommend the cleats for anyone who is looking for soccer cleats.

Good Grip With Skin Fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The zoom vapor 16 pro is very sleek and just slides onto the feet. Wearing the shoe feels like there is very minimal material between my feet and the ground. This shoe sticks to your skin so I recommend going one size over your normal shoe size. Playing in this shoe gives good grip which helped me running on the grass. The design looks very minimal and will not gather attention.

The Ultimate Indoor Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fit and feel: I typically wear a size 10 when it comes to Nike, whether they are dunks, air maxes, Jordan’s or basketball shoes. The vapor pro 16s run a bit tight; if you like a tight fit, true to size will go well for you. But for myself, I think a half size up would give a little bit more comfort. I typically play in a striker role when playing. Quick stopping and cutting became a little bit hard on my toes after about an hour of play at my true to size, often feeling them cram at the top of the shoe. Design: When it comes to the design, the design is sleek and slim and certainly allows for fast paced play. Nothing too flashy when it comes to the black on black color way. The grip and support that the tread gives is great on athletic turf and indoor fields. Did not get to try in wet conditions, but feels like it would give great support and stopping ability as well even in the one conditions too. The tongue and ankle give way to a stretchier, more giving material to help with the flexibility sleekness to the shoe while adding much more comfort in an area that often lacks it. The ankle does feel a bit naked at times and some higher ankle support would be nice. Fabric: The material used on the shoe is nothing but remarkable. It truly feels like your foot is wrapped around the ball while dribbling when it comes to the material on the shoe. Very flexible as well. Despite the thinness of the material, it is still beyond durable and will stand many hours of play. Around the ankle and upper tongue, a lighter, stretchier fabric is used for added comfort. Very comfortable and flexible all the way around. Best features of the shoe: Overall, the feel of the shoe while dribbling and playing on the ball is top to none. It really does feel like you have your foot on the ball compared to other soccer cleats. If you are a lover of dribbling and fast pace play, you will certainly love these shoes. A little bit more ankle support at times would be nice. With the material used, it’s understandable that the shoe would fit pretty tight to true to size. If you often play indoor or turf fields, I would highly recommended this shoe.

Zoom Vapor Soccer Cleats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is an indoor youth soccer coach. These cleats have outperformed themselves on all levels. They are great for an indoor turf. They are comfortable and have great arch and ankle support. The sleek look is stylish and versatile. They are also true to size. 10/10 highly recommended these cleats any day!

Zooming In My Mercurials

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are super comfortable right out of the box. They definitely fit true to size and had no break-in period. These shoes provide the perfect amount of comfort, ball control, and grip; all while being lightweight.

Excellent Turf Cleats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fit: These fit like traditional Vapor soccer cleats - a bit tighter than other Nike cleat models. I usually wear an 11 in soccer shoes, and wore an 11.5 for the review. I felt that it was a bit tighter, and perhaps even a tad shorter than a 11.5 would normally be. For someone who's usually inbetween sizes, I would go one size up. Comfort: Very comfortable - the upper is a think but pretty flexible synthetic that moves well with the foot, I assume similar to the previous version. They really hug your foot, and the knitted collar around the mouth of the shoe hugs below your ankle which feels secure and keeps turf pellets out. The one issue I had was some lace bite - the fabric on top of the foot is thin, and the laces are thin as well which created some discomfort for me personally when tying them tight. Grip: Surprisingly good. These are ideal for shorter turf, but I used them on longer turf in dry conditions and had few grip issues. there were a couple times where I didn't get the bite I would get from FG cleats, but thats to be expected. However, If the longer turf was wet, I bet I would have slipped a lot more. OVERALL - these checked every box for an AG Nike Mercurial - It fits how you'd expect, and is more of a refinement on the last few versions. If you've had Mercurials before, you'll know what you're getting here - If not, just see above. Definitely good for use on short turf, or even longer turf if its dry.
