Adidas F50 adiZero MiCoach

POSITIVES:

1) Comfort: The F50 adiZero MiCoach football boots are without a doubt the most comfortable speed boots on the market. The full-grain leather is extremely soft and aids for a comfortable fit right out of the box. You can even wear these boots straight into a game without facing any discomfort!
2) Kicking: Where most speed boots lack in kicking, the F50 adiZero MiCoach is absolutely fantastic. For speed boot wearers, kicking is an absolute joy in these boots thanks once again to the thick and soft full-grain leather. Whether you bend it like Beckham or smash it like Cristiano Ronaldo, these boots are great for striking.

NEGATIVES:

1) Protection and Moisture: As normal with leather football boots, the weakest point in these boots is the water repulsion and repellence offered. This is the only section where the F50 adiZero MiCoach falls behind the other speed boots on the market as the upper soaks up moisture like a sponge. As for protection, like most speed boots, the F50 adiZero MiCoach has none. However, that's something you sacrifice when purchasing a pair of lightweight soccer shoes.
