adidasMen's Mundial Team Athletic Shoe
J**.
Classic, comfortable, durable
I love the Adidas Team Mundial - from the kangaroo leather touch & comfort, to the extra durability of the toe rand. Yes, they're not speed shoes and are a little heavier, but these days they feel like a great value. I tried some Nike Premiers a couple years back and they blew-out in less than 3 months of semi-active use (quite surprising).I usually buy a full size smaller than what I wear in Adidas sneakers as I find these to be wider and the leather does stretch. In time I also need to add an insole as the footbed seems to get decently compressed.I've been using Mizuno Morelia's for the past year (and really liking the Made in Japan models), but I have an untouched pair of these Mundials waiting in the closet for when I need them.

Best soccer shoes I have ever worn: very comfortable and look great, too!
I think these "turf" cleats are superior to regular soccer cleats, not just for turf but also for natural grass fields. I often find that regular soccer cleats are hard on my feet and easy to sprain my ankle while wearing them. These "turf" soccer cleats are much more comfortable and more stable, so that it is less likely to turn an ankle. Furthermore, the turf cleats give a better control on the ball when using the sole of the shoe to manipulate the ball. For dry ground, I think they are much more preferable to standard soccer cleats. Even for any normal grass field, I think they are better. I have not yet tried them out in really wet or soft ground, but I think these are really the best shoes for any surface (turf or natural grass).When I first put them on, they slipped just a little in the heel and it felt that perhaps there was too much padding in the heel/arch. However, after just a few runs up and down the soccer field, they molded perfectly to my feet and there was no more slight heel slippage. In fact, they fit perfectly and really felt great after maybe just 10 minutes of breaking them in. They are very comfortable to run constantly for two 45 minute periods with no blisters or anything wrong. They are probably the most comfortable soccer cleats I have ever worn and they look great, too.

Very comfortable
I haven't been able to wear cleats in 5 years because I lose my big toe nails. I have tried so many alternatives to get me the proper traction for playing (cross country shoes with soccer studs screwed in, all different sizes and types of cleats), but I didn't find a good solution (and the consequence was 7 months of toe nail regrowing). One of the guys I play with recommended these and said he liked them so much he ordered three pairs, so I thought I would try them out.They are amazing. The most forgiving cleats in the toe box area. No problems with my toe nail, which is the first in 5 years. I am very very pleased with these boots.

Insoles CAN be removed
Great shoe. A lot of the other shoes were too narrow for me, but these fit well.Unfortunately, the insoles are glued in, so when they started to wear (roll inward at the arch, in my case), I thought I would need to replace the shoes entirely.I was able to remove them, though, by pulling hard along the edges, releasing the glue. Good to go again with some replacement insoles (in my case, soccer-specific Currex ones).

After trying 7 pairs, this is the one for wide men's feet!
If you are like me trying to find the perfect soccer shoe for artificial indoor turf, this shoe is it! My partner plays in a men's indoor soccer league and asked for new cleats for Christmas. Well, I thought it would be easy to just get his size and a nice shiny pair of cleats. DEAD WRONG. We tried 7 pairs before we got to this pair. Look up the turf you play with and get the right shoes for it! He was previously wearing cleats and had a lot of foot pain. Well, I learned more than I ever wanted to about football/soccer shoes - but do your research. If you don't, your child/partner/friend/you might get stuck with the wrong shoe and painful feet.This shoe looks different so I initially was going to pass them by. I was looking for cleats specifically. Wrong assumption. My athlete plays on artificial turf indoors and these shoes are perfect for it. I read the reviews and learned a lot. Not to mention, my athlete has giant wide feet. We all know that shoes need to be broken in and he wasn't giving the previous 6 pairs a chance. He tried it on and promptly rejected the previous styles. They were plastic-y and super narrow. For $100+ that was irritating to me. He tried this pair on and they were immediately comfortable. He was skeptical of the bottoms being nubs and not cleats. I explained to him that the surface he plays on are probably not good with cleats.He tried them at a game and he was very comfortable. No foot pain, the shoe hugs wide feet nicely. The Adidas quality is there. He is normally a size 12 in his daily athletic shoes, we sized up and got a 13. If you have issues with cramped toe boxes, tight upper shoe pain (the vamp), or not being able to tighten/loosen your shoes with the laces, gives these shoes a try. The upper soles adapt nicely to wide feet, nothing feels plastic-y about this shoe and the shoes perform well for indoor soccer. We might put orthotics in the shoe and remove the soles for more comfort but these shoes are it for large wide feet!
