I've had my last set of soccer boots for 5 years and they were so uncomfortable and poorly made. I wanted to get back into shape and start playing pickup again and I saw these boots for a really good price. I couldn't pass it up and they arrived in the mail the next day for an extra $3.00! I immediately headed to the nearest soccer fields by my house and put them on. Right out of the box they are extremely comfortable and feel absolutely great. I can strike the ball from far out and get goals now. These are awesome!
