My new boots - review

I don't usually write reviews on boots, but that's because I haven't had a new pair in quite some time. My old Nike boots started to wear down, so I figured it's about time to go for something
new. I was browsing online to find something a football boot that was comfortable, light, and that looked pretty awesome. After looking around for some time, I decided that it's time to invest
in a pair of the new Nike Mercurial Vapor IV red and gold boots. So here's what I thought of
them, for everyone who is interested in getting some new boots and is considering this specific model.
In terms of comfort, the Vapor IVs feel surprisingly awesome. They're really light weight, they mould around your foot perfectly, and they feel ridiculously comfortable. I was a bit shocked
when I put them on because I was expecting random horrible pains and discomfort. But that wasn't the case.
Initial Comfort: 9/10
The touch was also very comfortable, I felt like I could control the ball better because it felt like my foot was touching the ball, not some fat piece of leather. Gheorghe Hagi - the best
player to ever live - said that he was able to control the ball so well because he played barefoot all the time when he was young. These Vapors are the closest thing you can get to feeling like
you can touch the ball with your foot, and that's really important in my opinion.
Touch: 10/10
The one problem that I had with them is that after I played for about an hour, I started to get some blisters on the back of my ankle. So you need to play with a thick sock, or put some tape on
your ankle. It's a problem that happens because of the lack of padding in the back of the shoe. Nike sacrificed padding for weight, but it's not a problem that can't be avoided. It's been
getting better and better each time I've played with them, so don't let this keep you from buying them if you want a good light shoe.
Comfort over time: 4/10
I got my Vapors IV from my local shop Soccer Pro. They're nice guys and have great prices, and you can check out their online store at soccerpro.com. They have the Vapors I bought, and the other colors of Mercurial Vapors if you don't like red.
They didn't make me play quite like Ronaldo, but I did feel a bit more free while playing, so that's always good. So go get yourself some new boots for the summer as well!
