Soccer Cleats 101 Soccer Cleats News and Reviews
Over the past two weeks, I have been working with Beans from The Original Winger to compile the Best of Boots for 2011. It proved challenging at times and we went back and forth on certain boot position – simply deciding on a boot was difficult, but also having to factor in colorways made it an even tougher task! At one point, we had a list of 24 boots, and trying to get it 10 seemed like it would take a while. As reference, we factored in several different criteria to get to the finished list including overall performance, visuals and the influence each boot imposed on the market.
With that in mind, below I have listed the top ten we finished up with, each links through to a review or relevant article on the colorway. Thoughts on other releases/colorways that should have been included in 2011?
For those that want to read more about our final decisions, and why decided to place which boot where, a full review is available at TOW.
Where are the ctrs?!?!?!
The CTR360 Maestri II was released in 2010, and no colorway through 2011 grasped enough attention!
Understandable but the new black/volt ones are sick
Agreed! Just released a little too late for us to include them.
Sorry, but Vapor CR should not be up there…
Absolutely agree…they are, apart from not even being a completely new boot-just a new design, nowhere near as good as some of the other cleats up there. Of course that’s just my opinion but I really can’t see why you would put the Vapor CR up there.
Adipure sl White/gold??
Yes – it was on the final shortlist, very classy looking boot!
Man! Pele Trinities in 4th place! Can't wait to get them in!
not even one mizuno?!
Mizuno don't sell on the US market – so were not included.
I like the Hot Pink of Project Pink Puma, it is really metrosexual =)
nice but what about the predator sl?
