I've begun using this shoe as my regular soccer playing shoe. In Texas, the ground in most soccer pitches is baked clay and ridiculously hard. These shoes have enough grip on the hard packed ground to pivot, turn and take off - and - are well fitting enough to let me control the ball and shoot.

It's been a pleasure to have the extra padding on the souls when I run and play soccer; as opposed to traditional cleats or turf boots. Pain in the knees, hips and ankles is greatly reduced after playing in these shoes.

A word of notice, I do wrap my ankles in supportive tape when I wear these to play soccer.
