Continue of Cleat Reviews!!!

Alright, today we continue what we started yesterday. First it will be the Puma EvoSpeed Cleats.

These cleats are a kind of simple boot. There is not really that many different components on them at all. Just like the name EvoSpeed, they are totally built for speed. There are two different versions that are at the highest quality. One version comes with synthetic leather and the other in Kangaroo Leather. This is not the low priced synthetic leather though. The synthetic leather is very, very light and can cost you any where from $160-$185 dollars. The price varies depending on where you buy them. On this shoe the synthetic stuff ways 6.3 ounces and the Kangaroo ways 6.8 ounces, not a big difference to me. If you do not really care about the weight, of course the K-leather version gives you a way better touch on the ball. The cleats have improved from the old Puma's by making them able to break in better and gives you better overall comfort than the last few cleats Puma has released. I think the Blue/Red/White version looks way better than Puma's last few designs. The shoes are really designed for the forward or the winger. They give you a nice shot and great speed running down the wings or past the last defender. Sergio Aguero said, “I like how flexible the sole is, it helps me to change directions quicker and really distinguishes it from other football boots”.

The last and final cleat we will be reviewing is the Umbro Speciali 3. This is one of Umbro's most classic cleats, updated with modern features. The cleat looks great and is 9.2 ounces. It is said to still have that classic feel as the first time it came out, but a little improvments in the ankle tounge, off center lacing, better placed stitching, and improvment on the studs. It is completly made of Kangaroo Leather, but there is one problem with the cleat. That problem is the breaking in time. The breaking in time is not really that bad, but when you compare in to our other cleats we reviewed it does not look so good. Most people say it takes about a practice and a jogging sesion around the field to brake them in. While the other cleats we have reviewed only take about a warm-up to break in because they already came with great comfort. Umbro have improved the tounge of the cleat by putting a little padding behind it, giving the boot a nice striking zone, without taking any touch off the ball. This cleat is made to get lots of nice touches during the game. Umbro was under pressure to design a nice looking cleat, that still looks classic and I think they did that. Overall this cleat is made for any position, but midfielders have really grown to like it.
Well that is it for today and thanks for reading.
