I can 100% agree with EVERYTHING about this review, I am about 2 weeks in (10-12 hours of time in the cleats) with my X Fly 5 cleats, after months of trying to find a cleat (and several hundred dollars) that wont give me blisters. 0 break in, even with existing hot spots (areas I had blisters in 1 week ago) on my heels, these didn't hurt or give me blisters. I think for me the biggest difference is the micro suede in the heel, my heel feels 100% locked in with absolutely no slippage (wearing grip socks as well). Your original review saved my @$$ and wallet. Cannot thank you enough for quality reviews. Also, I wear an 11 and went true to size, and fits perfect for me.
where did u buy them?
@@vettomn I was lucky enough to find a set on ebay new without the box. But otherwise, I think the only place you will be able to find them will be through the ebay store Noah suggested. They apparently no longer offer them through US retailers.
Class mate! So glad to hear it!
Once again, awesome review. I really enjoy how in depth you are with your reviews. These are such a special pair of boots. Hard to beat!
Thank you! 🔥
Circling back and re-watching this video, you mention the 99.1 Leathers are top of the list from a raw performance perspective, but overall you like these better. We're currently using and loving the 99.1s and CrazyFast +, but we haven't yet had any away matches on AG this year, but they are coming. We are still contemplating keeping these...my son said they were a little too pointy in the toe box, but we suspect they would break in fine, or we'd put the stretcher on them. For hard FG surfaces, my son loves the 99.1s, and also the Crazy Fast +, but I don't think either will be great on AG. Thus, whatchu think about using this boot primarily for AG surfaces...a specialty boot effectively, since he only plays occasional matches on AG. Thanks again for the feedback!
🤝 Absolutely class for AG!
Really happy this review popped up on my feed. I've been wanting to try Asics cleats for quite a long time. The size down recommendation was a nice call out, went a half size down and they feel great, extremely close fit. Also the seller recommendation helped a ton.
Love it mate! 🔥
Just got these Noah, true to size - my next game is in a week though. Will come back with a first wear review. Much thanks from Malaysia.
Fantastic mate! 🔥
so good!!!!, big thanks for you !!
🤝💙
Thank you Noah for the review. So glad I picked these up. They are my favorites. I tried the shoe stretchers upon your recommendation and that 🤯The synthetic material is fantastic like you said hard to tell it is not real leather. Love the rigidity of the sole plate and the heel is perfect for me. 🙏🏼
No worries mate! So glad to hear you've been enjoying them!
Missed these initially, then lucked into a basically unused pair on eBay. Pumped to get them in! Great review, Noah!
Love that mate! Enjoy!
Fantastic boot, however, the back four studs are very long so they cling a lot to AG. Would be 10/10 if they had an AG-specific version. The Asics DS Light AG have a great soleplate but the fit is surprisingly narrow for a Japanese boot. On the other hand, the Asics DS Light X Fly 5 Special Edition (FG) has an amazing fit.
To each their own! 🤝
So, i got a pair and they were AWESOME! However, for some reason my pair started getting sole separation almost instantly. I train two times a week with my semi pro team. By our 3rd training session, I could already tell the sole separation was happening. I was only using them on an AG pitch. I play GK too. So, I was taken aback just a bit. I still have them but they are going to be mainly my training boots at this point. Other things and this may be just from playing on them on AG only, but the white leather paint is also already starting to come off as well. Just a heads up if anyone worries about those things.
Bummer mate! I'm sorry to hear that...
Hi Noah! Which one you think is better to buy Phantom GX Elite or Asics DS Light X Fly 5
Both are excellent mate, but very different!
Any plans to get the X Fly pro 2? I have the x fly 5's and love them to bits, but the pro 2's are so damn tempting. The only thing I dont like about the x fly is I feel the sole plate could be a bit stiffer. The pro's are being sold for less than the Mizuno elites
I’m going to try to, yes! 🤝
Hello, Noah! Are they slick on the ball then? What about in wet conditions? I have a pair of the original DS lite in synthetic and when it's raining the ball slides right off. Cannot bend or even dribble the way I want. As always, thanks for the very informative review, sir!
Only a little bit! In wet conditions it doesn't make much of a difference mate
I've found some success applying a small a very thin layer of DAP silicon adhesive (available from hardware store) to add grip in both wet and dry conditions. Applied to the side foot strike zone. Seems to work better on some boot materials more than others. It's not permanent, for better and for worse.
Love the videos Noah! Quick Q... which boot is better-suited for wide feet? The Asics DS Light X Fly 5 SE or Nike Tiempo Legend 9 Made in Italy?
Definitely the ASICS!
@@NoahCavanaugh Thanks! How about the ASICS vs Morelia II MIJ?
Both are excellent in their own way! @@Emanster13
Hey Noah, I know Phantom GX and this X Fly 5 SE or the normal X Fly 5 are made out of totally different material. Which would u prefer to wear if given only one choice? X Fly model or GX? Appreciate your input, thanks!
GX for me!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks mate!
Due to being wide at the toes/forefoot area, very few boots work fit for my son. The Adidas 99.1 work well, but I have to periodically re-apply shoe goo to tip of toe to prevent the leather from abrading and eventually tearing (on our 2nd pair now), and thus I seek an alternative. Do you think these might fit this foot shape and be more durable for someone who scrapes the ground when shooting? He's a speedy winger...do these feel light and fast like the 99.1s?
They do! I'd go true to size though instead of 1/2 size down like I recommended in the video
Thank you. For somebody who's wide in the forefoot, do you think the special addition version can work as well as leather...will this material stretch (I have same stretcher as you)?
And I concur with so many other posts...I sure wish they were available from retailers. I'm concerned they won't fir and then I'm stick paying g heavy shipping fees to return.
@@ryangelardi7988 yeah so far so good
So in your opinion, which cleat should i get? the synthetic asics x fly 5 or the k-leather asics x fly 5. I am a huge leather boot fan so I want to see if the synthetic version is good because I love the colorway on the white and blue ones. And which one do you think has the more padded touch to it kind of like the tiempo legend 9 and morelia 2 because imo I like the padded touch better than the barefoot touch.
It’s unreal mate 🔥 would highly recommend
Tiempo and Morelia have a more padded touch than either the 5 or the 5 SE
Thanks for the feedback but which one do you think I should get, the 5 or the 5 SE?@@NoahCavanaugh
@@thongu4735 personal preference mate 🤝
Come on Asics.......sell your damn football boots in the rest of the world 🌍!
😎
@NoahCavanaugh where can I get a pair?
@@bradl1369 link is in the description
Out of the Nike tiempo elite 10 and the new balance tekela v4 pro low FG, which one would you recommend? 🙏
Both are really good actually!
thanks for the really helpful video Noah, but just wondering do you have any idea of how much these weigh?🤔
I don't mate, no. And frankly I don't care at ALL about the weight as long as they fit well 😅
205g
I have wide feet in midfoot and toebox do you recommend these, Morelia 2s, or Morelia neo 4s the most, and I’m kinda looking for a leather speed boot
Morelia 2 or These!
Couldn't get a UK8 in the 5s, so opted for the DS Light X-Fly Pro Limited in the same colourway. I couldn't see a one month review on the Pros. Got any gripes with the Pro, mate?
Love it mate! Pros don't fit my foot as well - the shape is just a bit different and not for my foot! Class boots though
@NoahCavanaugh Nice one, thanks man. Hoping they fit my feet. I used the ebay link. The .99s fit me really well, but I don't want to wreck them on the AG pitches.
how you compare the size to the Morelias MIJ 2, I'm size 10 on those. Does leather version of these ASICS true to size?
You can absolutely go true to size, I just prefer the super tight fit of the .5 size down
What would be the difference between these boots and the DS LIGHT XFLY PRO. the studs look similar but not drastically different.
I have a review on the pro as well mate! The soleplate and shape are different
Hey, would you recommend getting these over the x-fly 4s?
That’s up to you mate, they’re very similar!
Can I use ag boot or Adidas copa mundial on turf(1g) . will it harm my boot because the astro turf surface is a bit hard.
I would try the Copa Mundial TF version instead
Can you tell me if these has same size as Mizuno Morelia 2?
Or you need to go a half size up? 😊
About the same size, I go 1/2 size DOWN on these
Can I try the ASICS DS LIGHT X-FLY PRO 2 for size before purchasing this shoe?
They're about the same size in the two models yes
@@NoahCavanaughthank you
Hi Noah! how do you clean the leather portion of the boots at the front? it will probably have black marks once I start playing with it for quite some time. Im having problem at removing the black stains on the leather! Please help
it's part of the game. or wear black.
I use baby shampoo n soft toothbrush n wipe with a clean cloth... Not 100% but does remove those stains
I don't use any cleaning materials mate!
just got them yesterday and I DO NOT recomend getting half size down
Agree! Especially if your foot toe box is wider or you like having more space to use your laces to get to the right tightness. But also agree that these are great boots!
Fair enough mate! To each their own
Why is that? i was really debating whether to go half size down or not. Have you compared your sizing to Noahs Sizing guide?
@@hanta7488 dude everyone has different feet shaping its hard to say
@@FULLSENDFC Yeah totally, can you give any details? such as. "yeah it was a bit narrow in the toebox. I usually have wide feet but Noah says he does also so i though it would for me but I found them to be a bit narrow there). Or anything that could help me gauge how these fit and if they would work for me going half down. Also you didnt let them break in when you said that. Did they get better when you broke them in?
What pair would you choose? Mizuno morelia 2 MIJ or these
Both 😎
Hey Noah nice vid! I have a little question, my foot is roughly 28cm (9,5 UK) but I found this Asics pair for 27,5cm (9 UK). Can I go for it or should I go for it? Thanks.
1/2 size down will be tight at first, but in my experience they stretch well around your foot
@@NoahCavanaugh Thank you
did you get them? howd it turn out going down?
What’s the difference between the x fly pro version and these version?
Different shape and soleplate!
This synthetic leather has to be the closest to natural leather on a football boot. Even from just a visual standpoint.
Agreed, it feels almost identical to the other one!
should i go half a size down or true to size with really wide feet in these?
True to size probably!
I really wish asics sold these in Australia and they were easily purchase-able. Hey Noah, why don’t you rate Puma and Adidas boots as much as say New Balance, Asics, Mizuno ( as much as these less popular football boots)?
For sure mate! The ratings are based on real-life performance and in training experience! Unfortunately for Adidas and Puma, they don't really stack up right now for me (aside from the CrazyFast+ and maybe the Future Ultimate).
@@NoahCavanaugh fair fair, always love your videos as they’re So insightful, depth full and honest. What would be the best alternative to these asics boots that are more easily accessible? Or does the site you get them from offer global shipping?
@@bushamanz you could check about global shipping 🤝 the new balance 442 is another great option, or the Mizuno models
do u think these are better than the mizuno morelia 2 mij
That's a tough one mate! Both are excellent
if i fit into a phantom gx elite in 9 should i go 1/2 down or true to size
If you like tighter fitting boots, go with an 8.5! If you want a bit more wiggle-room, go 9!
Could you provide the link to the ebay buyer that you bought these boots from?
In the description
What’s generally more durable between ASICS and Mizuno MIJ?
They’re on par
About the same, although Mizuno probably edges it out for the top tier MIJ models
How does the upper compare to the leather on normal ds x fly 5?
Very similar, with slightly more wrap around the foot
Would u prefer these or the x fly pro 2 for ur feet?
These 🤝
How do these compare to the CTR360 remakes?
They're lighter, more comfortable, and perform better for me 🤝
I’m someone with a medium width midfoot but a wide forefoot/toebox. Any recommendations?
I too would like to ask Noah how these would work for for this foot type. My Son is exactly this. After watching Noah's review of the Adidas 99.1s, he picked up a pair and said they were the most comfortable cleats he's ever tried. Although he had to replace relatively quickly because he tore the toe because he scrapes the ground hard when shooting, so I'm looking for a a pair of synthetics that he is comfortable in.
My foot profile sounds a lot like yours. On his original unboxing he had recommended going 0.5 size down… they were too small / cramped in the toe box with the thinnest grip socks I owned. Ended up getting another pair true to size and it was great on me.
These will be just fine for your foot type, although I'd recommend going true to size for your foot shape
Can u use ah boot on astro turf(1st generation)
I would recommend a TF model
what pair of boots makes you wanna sprint the most
😂 No clue
Hi noah. I have medium wide feet. Does this boots suitable for me?i wear 10us normally. Do i need to reduce tue size if going for this boots?
Im wearing nike premier before.
Yes, definitely mate! I'd go for a 9.5US
What’s the difference between this and the DS LIGHT PRO?
Lucky for you I have reviews on both mate! 😎
@@NoahCavanaugh Is it out? What’s the link? 😃
Hay, i use morelia neo iv beta MIJ in 27.5cm, can i go for 27.5 cm to these shoes or 27 cm, Terimakasih. 🙏🙏🙏
Yes, you can go with the same 🤝
@@NoahCavanaugh thanks a lot from Indonesia. 👋🏽
Do you prefer these over the real leather ones?
Yes
Do they have heel lift like other asics boots?
.5mm I think? It's barely noticeable
@@NoahCavanaugh I do like the lift to be honest. I'm 44 now and have been playing since I'm 5, so the extra support is great. Can't play in anything except asics anymore, if i want to walk normally the next day.
Which one is prefer x-fly4 or x-fly5 or x-fly 5se??
The 4 and 5 are quite different. 4s are speedier whereas the 5 have a bit more padding and comfort so feel abit more like a midfielders boot.
Didn't really feel much if a difference between the SE 5 and normal 5 so pick whichever you prefer!
All 3 are very good actually. I prefer the 5 SE for the fit, feel, and durability.
@@NoahCavanaugh Then.. Which one do you like more, f-fly4 or x-fly5???🤣
@@evernaya777 5
@@NoahCavanaugh Thanks bro!
Does it have 10mm HG heel drop ?
This one DOESN'T! 😎
These look like something Toni Kroos would wear if he weren't so committed to German adidas
Absolutely!
how can i get them in EU?
Not sure mate!
How much they weight?
I believe somewhere in the 7oz mark
Noah don't give people the ratings right away! You got to tease the people, don't give them what they want right away! 😂😂😂
Gotta give people a quick fix
an you put the link to the seller
Yep
Desperate to find these… big mistake not making them available worldwide
For real! You can find them on Ebay
what makes this not a game boot
It is
It is mate!
@@NoahCavanaugh oh right haha would you take this over the gx
@@ducksaidbye3555 both are excellent
Great review. Did you weigh these? If so, how heavy were they?
i wish i had a real leather boot
There are many on the market!
