Cleat reviews

Adidas has created something unique with their new F50 adizero range. If you had a chance to read the Synthetic review last week, you will be familiar with the fact that these are the lightest soccer cleats on the market. But there are several rather large differences between the Synthetic …

Finally, the review you have been waiting for, the Adidas adizero! First off, I have to tell you that I was extremely skeptical going into this review. After testing several other speed boots (Nike Superfly and Puma V1.10), there was one question on my mind: “How bad are these going …

With less than a week to go until the start of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, we take a look at which players will be wearing what footwear. With the worlds best soccer players on show, companies like Nike and Adidas are pulling out the stops to have …

The Diadora Kobra K has been released just in time for the 2010 World Cup. In recent times, Diadora have been pretty quiet, and it seems like we have been waiting a while for the Italian giants to bring us something new. We know that Diadora have already established a …

The Lotto Fuerzapura might be difficult to pronounce and to spell, but this cleat is a simple, well balanced boot designed to perform on the field. In Spanish, Fuerza Pura means Pure Force giving you the impression that Lotto have designed these to be a power cleat, and after testing …

The Pirma Monaco III in Pink/Black/White is an extremely unique soccer cleat. To be honest, this review has taken about 3 weeks longer than expected, but primarily because I didn’t want to wear them in games. I am not fond of flashy colors, and especially when they are bright pink. …

The Nike Mercurial Miracle is a boot that offers a very competitive alternative for those who decide not to invest big bucks in the Superfly II. Just like its predecessor the Talaria, the Miracle is third in the Mercurial range behind the Superfly II and Vapor VI. But if you …

The release of the Umbro Stealth Pro has had one of the most bizarre advertising campaigns in recent memory! “Are you Fox or Chicken?” reads the headline, followed by guys running a round a field in masks with feathers flying about the place. Strange, odd, confusing. But, once you get …

The Nike Mercurial Superfly II was released in a blaze of glory a few weeks back, with Cristiano Ronaldo standing in front of a world-wide audience holding the coveted speed boot. There are always expectations when a company releases a second version of a soccer boot, so Nike focused on …

The Nike Mercurial Vapor VI hit the markets a few weeks back through a huge Nike media campaign. It was Cristiano Ronaldo who was centerpiece in announcing the new range and the initial Violet color that the boot would be released in. Since that time, there has been much speculation …

I have to admit that reviewing the Uhlsport Kickschuh Instinkt has been one of the more interesting reviews I have done. This is primarily because I have always known Uhlsport to be one of the top companies in goalkeeper apparel, rather than outfield gear like soccer cleats. It was Chivas …

Joma has created something quiet unique with the Total Fit by simply going back to the basics of creating a classic soccer cleat. At first glance, the Total Fit looks like a pretty simple cleat, very plain and ordinary – without any added elements. But the fact that they are …

Thought it would be a good opportunity to drop some cool links I have spotted recently, while also giving an update on what to expect in the next few weeks. As we edge ever closer to this summers World Cup, expect there to be a lot of activity in terms …
