The fit was great right away. The upper was flexible and comfortable, and the shoe felt secure without being too tight. It also felt lightweight and responsive while playing. I liked the overall Mercurial design. It has the same fast, streamlined look as the higher-end models. The materials felt good for an Academy-level boot. It does not feel quite as polished or premium as the Pro or Elite versions, but it is a great budget alternative and still performs really well. What I liked most was the fit, comfort, and value. For the price, it gives you a lot of what makes the Mercurial line great.

They were a little hard to put on, but they're comfortable, flexible and form to my feet. Had good traction running in them, was able to make quick cuts. I like the ankle support and the design of the cleats. The cleats seem to be well made and seem like they'll hold up for the season.

This is a great option for a training shoe. The high top option gives you ankle stability and is great on all training turfs or grass fields. It’s easy to get on and is comfortable to wear around your ankle. The shoe runs narrow in my opinion, I do have a wide foot so you may want to size up a half size for extra toe box room. I really like this option for training purposes if not needing to wear the entire shin guard and long socks combination. It was a little hot having these over longer socks during the summer heat. But if you have weaker ankles this may be a great option to give you more stability as well. I really enjoyed the vibrant color option too!
