How dare u put ACC in that list I wore ACC Nike Mercurial boots and played with them in 4inch snow and guess what Wherever i place my foot on snow, snow turned into water and water into steam leaving me ground to play on Smh for ACC
As a keeper... wearing glove during the entire game, last thing I need is an undone lace with I need to flag the referee for so my defenders can lace em up for me... I currently use both laces (AG) and laceless (SG) but the peace of mind is worth it
Honestly sometimes even the discounted top end models are just too expensive. Especially if you live outside the U.S where discounts at least here in Canada aren’t even that big of discounts
3:03 I totally agree that the collar providing "ankle support" is total BS, but for me it takes a little bit of the pain out of getting kicked in the ankle and feels just a little more hugging and connected to your foot. collars FTW
I discovered that aside of the visual effect of the lace cover in both phantom vision, i don´t need to tie my laces that hard or more than once, this is because the cover keeps them in the same position as many times as i kick the ball, so they get protected, and in other boots i need to do a second knot in order to keep them tied up, or tie them every certain time, or do a really hard knot.
hey josh, i just got the neymar speed freak elite and i was wondering what you thought i them they feel great and i love the low-cut thing with the sock like feeling.
5:10 That's the reason I like the "ankle support" things, they literally do nothing else ...except preventing the boot from flying off your foot at times
i have owned laceless boots for about 4 years. i wear a size too small and since i have a wide foot it works well. i understand they aren’t as good but they just look better🤷♂️
Has anyone ever mentioned using mid cut boots for protection? Not very thick, but sometimes that extra layer of fabric can help. Better than wearing separate ankle guards.
I'll be honest, i disagree with the laceless part for some boots. Like the X speedflow. The Speedflow+ had this incredible upper that was a perfect mix of rubbery grip, padded material, and Primeknit. The speedflow.1 upper was suuuper thin and almost felt like plastic to me. It was just super creasey and not flexible or comfortable to me. I have a moderately narrow foot.
Will you do a review of the Nike Airlock Street X ball? I popped my $40 adidas on a fence so I decided to go with a durable ball. Pretty solid so far, but pretty heavy and hurts sometimes
I would like to argue in support of collar boots. Yes they do not provide any ankle support however they do lockdown the heel and keep it snug. I just purchased the mercurial Vapor 13 and my ankle seems to be loose when I press off the ground. Not sure why but when I wear the Superfly, I feel more locked in and my heel is stabilised within the boot. This may or may not be due to the fact of the collar, I am not sure. I just feel more locked in and less worried about my heel not moving around or feeling loose with Superflys than Vapors. Just a food for thought...
I believe you, but there is physically nothing different about the construction of the heel or the shape/fit of the boot between the Vapor and Superfly right now.
Serious question, I haven't play soccer for over 10 years, and finally I started doing so and I'v been seen that most of the fields are synthetic grass, to be honest ugly grass I really love the natural ,but there is no many places left on this kind of grass, and I bought a pair of chip cleats for about 30 dollars and they are hurting my foot, my Question is should I use cleats on turf? If so ,which brand are the best ?
As a youth player I would twist my ankle every single year, maybe even multiple times a year. The first time I wore cleats with ankle cover was the magistas and I didn’t twist my ankle. Now I always get Nike boots with the ankle cover and I NEVER twist my ankle, has been 5 years and I don’t consider that a coincidence. I believe the ankle on the boot does give support even if only a little bit, either way, I would definitely twist my ankle in cleats without ankle cover.
I like the high / mid cut boots because I use orthotics and since the orthotics are thicker than the boots insoles, the sock keeps my foot in the boot better. Makes it so that my heal doesn’t slip because I have a very narrow heal.
I agree with him in this video about laceless boots I wear some but the laceless boots are just a preference and I don't understand why some people think it enhances performance. Just my take
Hello J. Can you please maker a collar boots play test on AG with rubber and check witch ones are the best in protecting boots from rubber to getting in. On the end of each play test please weight rubber that you will get in to the boot. Thanks:)
I'd say they're all pretty equal. Unless you're sliding around out there, which is basically suicide on turf, very little to nothing at all will get into the boots.
Had a rough fight with an opponent. He had "ankle support" mid cut collars, but after we both hit the ball at the same moment (is is called pressball?). Well his ankle was over bent afterwards. So looks > sense
That is a secondary benefit of the collar, but not the intended "benefit" for it being there. At least no brand with a mid-cut football boot has ever disclosed "keeping turf pellets out" as a highlight feature of their collar.
Do you think that adidas will make a leather variation of the predators? Obviously I know they have the Copa line for consumers wanting a leather experience. But what are your thoughts on leather + Demon skin?
4:00 "By that logic, 'put up his foot on the table and show the sock' this is ankle support." 😂😂 Mama I'm never gonna my ankles hurt again from playing football by wearing those magical socks from now on😂😂😂😂
My feet is so wide, it doesnt go into the ankle socks of predators or ace tango. Best option for me was adidas nemeziz 18.3 mid cut boots(white and pink).Perfect lockdown best control.
the reason i use a lace less boot(adidas predators 19+) is cus i am a goalkeeper and i am tired of having to tie and retire my laces and take of my gloves in the middle of a game
I never tried the vapor 11 but I wonder if the anatomychal chasis feels as good as on the split design.I really enjoy the tight feeling of the boot and how it wraps underneath. Can a one piece soleplate achieve that feeling?
The anatomical feel is pretty well the same, but the split sole version just feels more bulky, or is at least thicker underfoot. If they put the Vapor 11/Superfly 5 soleplate on the Vapor 13/Superfly 7, the boot would be every bit as good and also lighter.
I have bought my first lacless boot for a indoors cup when its winter and then in summer and i hate getting my foot in the boot and laced boots are better with lockdown and its easier to get the foot in the boot
I mean for me the last lace cover boots I had it helped with not getting my shoe lace caught on others boots which actually helped me quite a lot I mean only once it stoped me from scoring a goal when some one missed a tackle but caught my lace throwing me off and falling 😂😂😂
Right so ACC isn't a thing which you can see or anything. Nike is basically saying that they make boots which are suitable to be played in all conditions. So it's not a piece of tech which they add to their boots or anything it's just saying the boots which have ACC are boots which are suitable to be played in all conditions
It’s a good thing that Jeff is Canadian, otherwise we would have no way of knowing that ACC doesn’t make a difference in snowy playing conditions (11:42) 😂
The Elite is a lot better, but the Pro is still a very good boot. I think the Pro is equivalent in regards to performance characteristics to some previous top-end Mercs.

poor decision. The laces go around the boot, extralong Copa Mundial style.

For lace coverings I think the best example of doing it well was the Adidas X 17 I think it was with the red dots on. Proper class.
Please make a video about dumb shoe tech in all shoes that you have tested
Comparison Video Idea:
VAPOR 13 vs. FLYKNIT ULTRA
the mid cut collar is actually just more comfortable on the ankle because theres nothing rubbing on it. Its no support :)

The ankle support argument is a weird one. I'm sure I'm not the only person that remembers what shin pads used to look like.
I truly believe the conventional kangaroo leather boots give you the best touch and feel.
But with laceless you feel more comfort because the laces aren’t locked tight on top of your feet so it does give you a better peformance in a way
Laces can be really annoying when your playing and you boots get undone and then u have to tie them back up with cold hands
I'll be honest, i disagree with the laceless part for some boots. Like the X speedflow. The Speedflow+ had this incredible upper that was a perfect mix of rubbery grip, padded material, and Primeknit. The speedflow.1 upper was suuuper thin and almost felt like plastic to me. It was just super creasey and not flexible or comfortable to me. I have a moderately narrow foot.
i think the reason for the split sole on the mercurials is because of the arch in the anatomical soleplate, a one piece sole did not flex properly.
Imma hit u if u don't do a review on the black mercurial with the anti clog sole plate and I'm talking about the boots that cost $70
I like the idea of some as lace cover to keep the laces in place instead of a cleaner touch.

Isn’t the collar there to protect that nothing comes in the shoe for example Like playing on artificial grass that granules doesn’t come in.
That is a secondary benefit of the collar, but not the intended "benefit" for it being there. At least no brand with a mid-cut football boot has ever disclosed "keeping turf pellets out" as a highlight feature of their collar.

The Elite is a lot better, but the Pro is still a very good boot. I think the Pro is equivalent in regards to performance characteristics to some previous top-end Mercs.
some people prefer the extra collar because it provides a glove like fit.
For number 4, I'm legitimately thinking of wearing Jordans that a lot of American football players wear. Now that is what ankle support looks like.
