Yo this is perfect timing I just got my first pair of brand new boots ever! I’ve worn used boots for 12 years, for my Junior and Senior fall seasons I got the Vapor 13 Elites (from the Sr4u deals of the week page)
Great video Josh! I wanted to add to your point of not tying the boots too tight at first when you get them. I see CR7 in training once didn’t tie his Superfly 7 at all as I’m assuming he gets it true to size and they are tight enough to stay on his feet, specially when brand new so possibly this might be a technique as well 🤔 and once they are broken in somewhat you can tie to your preference in terms of tightness. Considering how tight a boot like a Mercurial fits right outta the box I think this is an interesting technique
This is so true. I’ve been training and playing football alomkst everyday for the last 7 years. And after 3 months of me not wearing football boots, just using trainers playing in concrete I wore my boots and trained on grass, got my first blister ever
Another thing that helps is wearing your boots at practice with 2 socks...they are soft already and the extra volume softens them even more, also proper maintenance softens and preserves the fit...at least it always worked on my copa and puma king i used for 26 years
@@pulse5387 I'm 42, 43 at the end if the month. 26 years but not the same pair man 😂. If you find it weird about my longevity never smoked , gym 5 times a week . Where I'm from you back then there were no u17 or u14, 12 years old on signed parent consent you were part of the men's team
I feel like this problem only arises for boots with soleplates (FG,AG,SG), because I once wore a brand new turf shoe for a match and it felt perfectly fine.
I wore a brand new pair of superfly 7 elites into a match with my u-19 academy team and I got a light blister. I have done it multiple times and I doesn’t go well, I play great but my Achilles doesn’t feel great after. The vapor 13 elite is better and I love them!
someone with experience! I need help. I had the Nike Magista X Finale 2 for about 7 years and I found the perfect way to knuckle the ball and have the best touch I had ever with a football boot! So much confidence. Now I purchased the Nike Mercurial vapor 15 Pro and after 1 time used in a game, I don't have the same touch. Will it came game after game or am I doomed? :/
ive been watching SRFU without realising i didnt subsrice so i subriced and everyones iphone ipad and my mac at home ur content is awsome keep the good work
Am the 1 like that made it 7k. Dope right? He's a genius. The guide was so well put together and explained, almost as if their were annotation's with the vocal commentary. excellent! I haven't used stud's football boot's since I played for a club as a kid. Getting used to them on my feet slowly post lockdown sports.
My boots feel snug/tight around my arch area. In the toe area it’s fine. Just got them too. Do I just need to break them in? The boots I have are the new Adidas Predator 24 league FG. Prior to owning these I used to wear my Predator 19.1’s and now they fit great but I think they fit pretty snug when I first hot them. Don’t remember tbh, but will these new Predator 24’s fit more comfortably once I break them in?
Typically any shoe will feel more comfortable after they're worn in a little. Whether or not the shape just isn't right for your foot because of the width however, that's something you should typically decide before playing in the boots. If they just don't fit you well to begin with, that typically won't improve with wear time.
@@Soccerreviewsforyou makes sense 🤔 I think they’ll fit better once I break them in. I’ll wear’em around the house like you recommended. The boots I wore prior to owning these were the Adidas Predator 19.1’s and I swear they fit snug at first but after years of playing in them they fit like a glove perfectly. I have the same hope for these predator 24’s
Wish I listened to this before I played friendly games yesterday 😔 had blisters all over both my heel from wearing vapor 13...I’m wandering if heel liners help...
Hey is it good to wear double sock when playing a soccer game? Because I have been doing this my whole life when playing soccer. Or should I switch to one sock?
Just got them absolutely amazing but that’s because they feel like they were made for my foot in terms of the shape. Quality is also exceptional tho and love how they look!
Wish I listened to all your advice prior to wearing my new pair in a game. Quick question, the boots I wore have very tight outsoles. Is it possible that this is one of the reasons I tore my Achilles tendon in a game? I feel like due to the lack of flexibility of the soles, the tension went directly to my tendon. Granted, I was out of shape and played 2 games in a roll. However, I can't help but place some of the fault to the hard shoes. Thanks.
Hey pls reply to me I just bought the copa sense 3 Fg, and inside there is elastic thing it squeeze my feet not that much, other than that boot is well fit, pls any one reply to me, whether it will get bigger or not
Hello Joe. So i wanna buy new soccer cleats but im not sure which ones. A lot of cleats are on sale rn so im debating between the Copa 20+, 20.1, Predator 20.1 or just the Premier 2. They are all around the same price range so i just want your opinion on performance and what each one brings. Thank you!
I always played football in normal shoes but now i bought football boots and I notice that i cant do most of the things that i did with the football boots do I just have to get used to them or do something else.
Hey josh, i live in argentina and got the copa 20.1 mutator pack por 59 dollars, i cant believe how brands are lowering their price during quarentine!!
I actually have a problem with new football boots studs....i havs the new NIKE TIEMPO 8 ACADEMY... I'm a mid-fielder...its good the control,the touch everything..but i have one problem and that is...i can't really swing the ball, becoz if i swing the ball the studs stuck on the groud...its a big problem for me as Tournaments are near. Please give me any suggestions or solutions.
I"m a big fan of the Preds, but I much prefer the 20.1. If it were between the 20+ and the Venoms, I'd prefer the Venom. Both are really good boots though, just different.
Jodh, i've just bought one Mercurial Vapor Elite FG 50% off, but i'm quarintined and i can't go ti the pitch. Is there any risk of breaking studs if i walk with it in the apartament floor to break it?
I don't really agree that it's mostly the adaptation from yourself. I have a pair which I can get after a year and they still feel perfect even though I haven't worn them.
@@jv2841 For me yes, but my feet was actually 10.5 uk and I can see now that the Nike have made their boots model more tighter, so I choose 0.5 up, which is 11 uk, it fits perfect And please dont tie up your laces so tight, cause it might hurt your feet I recommend you to try venom cause it feels very good
Neither offer "better" traction on AG. Artificial grass will grip any stud pattern really well, so there isn't much separation from one stud pattern to the next in regards to overall grip. It's having too much grip that's the issue, which is typically where a true AG stud pattern is better on artificial grass.
Hey Josh I just bought the Future DNA Mercurial Vapor 13 in my typical size which I wore for Superfly 5’s and 6’s but for some reason these boots are a little more tight fitting and narrower. Is this just because I have not broken them in or is this how the Vapor 13 is like ? I find that the area around the toe box is quite crammed for me compared to previous Vapor models.
Vapor is is very narrow design and is a tight fit! People with bigger can wear them but there's better fit options out there I'm a size 10 and I love my mercurial with my life and haven't switched them for ages cause I love everything about them but don't by a boots because it's the best buy a boot for comfort! But to your question your mercurial will be narrow and breaking them in will take time! Using hot water might help them break quicker or wearing them around the house be wary for slipping though!
Josh here exposing the lie that I believed my whole life... that I was a lizard person. But alas that can’t be true, since my boots don’t need the hot water method to fit. Guess that makes me not a reptile.
Just got Vapor 13 Pro MDS2 AG and feel my heel slip a very little bit on heel liner, is that normal? Also heel feels a bit shallow. Have X18.2 & they fit perfect
Bro just got the new mercurial i try to break in to them first but my feet stil hurt realy bad than used it in a match i ruind my match becaus of playing in new mercurial first time i have this problem with mercurial
Imo, basically you have to try varies boots that (by right) suits you. Eg, for my own play style and position, i always go for predator, mania, absolute, ace 16.1, and freak, i loves them all but i always have 1 problem, my carve get tighten and soreness after an hour, specially when restarting the game after 15min rest. I thought it was nothing uncommon, until i finally tried Tiempo 9 legend recently, i dont feel that at all, even until full 90min, yes im still getting use to the adjustment of getting less trust (because of the predators surface) on the tiempo during ball contact, but it does give me 90min of full comfort which i wasnt expected from nike, at all, it was a mind blown tbh. Let just say u are able to try those like what Josh mentioned, but somehow the different is that youre not sitting/chillin wearing the boots, you run, or jogg most of the time. So like me, i suggest if you are willin to spend for boots probably one every ..2 years? U might want to go for same type of boots but different brand, you might somehow find THE ONE. Tricks does helped abit here and there but i would say try to find the best pair for your leg
