Review Scores

Welcome to our review scores page, where you can get a summary insight into our performance thoughts on each boot reviewed. The graph can be sorted, and there is a “search” bar on the top right of there is anything specific you want to find. Please note, these scores are representative of our experience with each boot, having put them through extensive testing. If you don’t agree, use the review link and leave us your thoughts/comments there.

Finally, for a breakdown on what each category references and how scoring works, please see details below the graph.

CATEGORIES

The 5 key categories featured in the columns are as follows:

COM – “Comfort”; How do the boots break in and how do they feel during a 90 minute game?
PER – “Performance”; For striking shots to general traction across multiple surfaces, how does the boot function in game?
TEC – “Tech Specs”; What has the brand done to create a different type of positive experience for players? And most importantly, does it work?
VIS – “Visual Effect”; How does the boot look and is there a standout “Hollywood” effect when you see them first?
CAT – “Category Score”; Each boot falls into a specific category. Examples include speed, comfort, power, control or economical. We base the specific boot against every other boot in that bracket.
AVE – “Average”; The boots average score across 5 categories.

SCORING SYSTEM

In order to evaluate appropriately, we use a scale of 1-10. But, we only use scores between 4 and 10. To give you more details and how we think about each boot, the following one-word guide best describes each number:

4 – Awful
5 – Not good
6 – Average
7 – Good
8 – Impressive
9 – Absolute quality
10 – Top class, it doesn’t get better!
