Asics are making the ultimate statement with their latest DS Light X-Fly K release. Combining lightweight with a K-leather upper, this is a boot that pushes the boundaries of comfort and speed. Rather than playing off some unique technology, Asics stick to the basics on this one and the overall traditional …

The Ctr360 Maestri III is one of the most popular boots on the market right now. Adidas’ Predator LZ is a close competitor but Nike have been in the control boot game much longer than adidas so there is ground that needs to be made up between the two companies. …

When you have Lionel Messi performing so exquisitely in the F50 adiZero, there is always going to be high interest in the mid-tier option in the range. The Adidas F30 is a boot that holds an extremely similar look to the high-end release, but with a completely different set of …

The folks at Adidas are no strangers to lightweight releases and adding new dynamics to help freshen things up with their boots. Case in point this Predator LZ SL that takes the Predator range in a whole new direction. Just like the adiPower Predator SL, this version of the boot …

Under Armour are back with another extremely futuristic, space-age looking design and this one also packs an extremely lightweight punch. The UA Spine Blur Carbon III is a boot full of flair and some quite unique angles – yes, I said angles. There are certain things about this boot that …

Is there a bigger release in the boot world than when Nike announce they are releasing a new Vapor? Again the hype surrounding this latest 9th installment, or the Mercurial Vapor IX, caused a frenzy of action online and not even the wildly colorful debut releases deferred attention away. And with the likes of CR7, Ibrahimovich and Theo Walcott, attention has been fully focused on the new release. I've had a pair for the past few weeks and have been putting them through their paces to see just how much difference there is with the new dimpled synthetic upper! This Fireberry colorway, plus the Sunset, are currently available to buy at WeGotSoccer.

A classically inspired release that combines modern features with old-school design. This is the type of release we are seeing less of on the market, so it was quite refreshing to test!

This is a boot that is designed to mimic its name - the Skreamer. Designed as a Power boot yet they fall into the Lightweight category.

Another top lightweight option for speed junkies who want a little more from their boots, they are similar in performance to other Puma boots, just with an updated look.

An extremely flexible indoor shoe that can be used on more than just your run-of-the-mill smooth surface. A combo of the versatile sole and Touch Compound upper make it a perfect shoe for players who like to perform tricks at high speed.

he latest speed boot from Adidas, designed for quick acceleration and the feet of Lionel Messi. SprintFrame, SprintWeb, SprintSkin....there is a lot of fast action on this one!

A few weeks ago, we featured the Italian brand Ryal and their classically designed boots for the first time. Unfortunately, their boots are not readily available here in the US and I asked you guys to hit up Ryal and let them know you wanted to read a review of …

We have become familiar with lightweight, advanced releases coming from Pele Sports in recent times, with the Trinity 3E taking center stage. But they also currently have a more classically designed release on the market, the Pele 1962 Redeemer, that can only be described as a boot on another mission. With …

I’m not going to lie….I am the last person that expected to be reviewing a pair of Fila boots on SoccerCleats101. They are not a boot commonly associated with soccer, in fact I don’t actually know of a professional soccer player that has ever worn the brand in a top …
