Y should I have to go through all these precautions if I'm paying $250+!?! My 50$ Adidas predators never gave me blisters, 30min with 150$ elastico superbly I'm bleeding from my heel. The Vapor 10s are worth it though best 200$ I've spent for cleats
Pretty much the same thing with me. I bought elastico superflys like 7 months ago and everytime i use them i get blisters. Luckily i bought myself vapor 10 too so im covered. Sad thing is that almost every away game i have is on turf so i have to use those awful superflys.
AliKazam a lot of times it just has to do with the way the cleats fit your feet, and socks can have an effect too. Try to use socks that don't cause discomfort, and make sure the cleats and the shape of your feet match.
AliKazam Soccer cleats are tight fitting shoes. They have to fit tight in order to perform and feel the way you want them to. Rarely would you get blisters from a pair of running shoes, because they're made from loose mesh that doesn't really cause any friction. Manufacturers try their best to make a shoe that is comfortable and fits as many different people as possible, but ultimately it is up to the wearer, to make sure that everything feels right. If you buy a car and crash it, that's your fault, not the car's. If you put shoes on your feet and they don't feel right, you have to decide that they aren't for you, regardless of how much or how little they cost. That's why you have choice.
Put two pairs of wadded up socks in the toe box of the shoe overnight before wearing the shoes. I did this with the Tiempo R10s (The Ronaldinho indoor shoes) after feeling almost instant blisters just from wearing them around the house. After having the socks in the toebox, the shoes were super comfortable.
Is it me or do todays shoes almost always give blisters? I never got blisters with my CTRs, tiempo legend 1s, T90 laser 11. New cleats like vapor 10s and magistas gave me blisters.
It really depends on the shoe. The ones you mentioned that you found really comfortable, are a fair bit different then the two that you had issues with.
I have gotten blisters on my heel from the pure control laceless adidas cleats. I have wore them in 5 games and practiced in them. I wear double socks and still get blisters. What should I do?
There really isn't much you can do with those. There's no laces, so there's no way to adjust they way they fit. Heel lockdown is not a strong aspect of that boot.
I tried my laceless Purecontrols on and they felt great at first when lightly testing them out with the ball. I just tried them at match speed and they really started to dig into my heel... Terrible blisters now :(. Have you found anything that helps out?
Just got the new predators $230 and it’s the first pair of cleats I’ve ever bought with the ankle sleeves. I think they look awesome but I got the worst blisters ever on my Achilles’ tendons. Thing is, I can’t bring a back up pair of cleats because my old cleats are completely trashed. I’m thinking about wrapping up my ankle with gauze as well as put a bandaid over the blisters. Hoping that’ll make my next game playable, but hey scored a goal in my first game wearing them. Cheers mate
hey josh ive been wearing high end hypervenoms for a couple months but i keep getting blisters on the sole of my feet, especially my stronger foot. my shoes are also still in good condition, just a bit dirty. what should i do?
Does it feel like your foot sliding around inside of the shoes while you're playing? Blisters in that area are generally caused by your shoes being too big and your feet sliding around.
What should i do if i got in my big toes and pinky toes a blister should i use plaster or should i try them more to till they feel comfortable, and i think they little bit too narrow on my toes should i just try some other boots?
I have a good system. When I get new boots I get around 10 hours in them in my house when I'm watching TV or playing xbox,basically when I won't be walking. If the shoe hurts I take them off and let it rest. By the time I wear them for the first time on the field I have no discomfort. I wear them usually in my front yard or in practice for the first time then after that you will usually be good.
Hey Josh, I just bought some Nike mercurial veloce 3s and they are a little big and I wore them straight to practice with really worn out socks and the boots weren't broken in and my heel was starting to blister, but halfway through the training session the pain eased off because I re tied my shoes to my heel was locked down and the shoes had broken in. Do you think that I will still get blisters? And how can I make my heel locked down for the entire session? Pls reply
I couldn't really say how they'll feel the next time you wear them. If you want to keep them tight, retying them as often as you can throughout the session would be the way to maintain that.
If you want to wear in your new cleats! Just wear them at home! while doing nothing. let your cleat take the shape of your foot. and the plus of doing so is that you may return them if a discomfort happens after 45 minutes of wearing them, because you havent used them yet. i find this to be a great way to see if they will be a good cleat for you
hypervenoms felt very bad to me. I got a ton of blisters and the sides of my feet hurt. Moving to magistas or tiempos were a massive upgrade. Yep, they were all high end.
I have magista obra 2.. and I've had no problem until now. I've starting getting blisters on my toes and I have no idea what to do or how to prevent this. Any suggestions ????
In my experience, the best way to avoid blisters is to just not stop playing. Every time I get them, it is because I haven't played in a month or more.
Got my vapor 14s saturday. Played in em sunday and monday. Low intensity and not lengthy period (hour and 30) felt great. Played in em today, very intense sessions and lengthy (5 hours) after the 2 hour mark in high intensity, I started to feel slight discomfort. Still kept em on even after I checked that it was a blister. Ended up playing not as good and feeling bad that I let the team down bc I decided to play with a blister on the inside of my left heel and a lot of the skin on the ball of my right foot came off. N🧊
Hey josh can you maybe think about making a video about how to recover from a ACL surgery and how to slowly get back into soccer and what to do when released from the orthopedist? By the way great videos
I have new hypervenom phelon 2 (Neymar version) and I played a bit and they they hurt and got blisters on the back of my heel only. Any Tips on how to stop them? I went through the comments and some guy said to wear them when ur watching TV or something to make them more comfortable so I'm gonna try that now but please tell me how I can stop or reduce them thanks.
+Soccer Reviews For You hey there, I've Brocken in my tiempo legend 5 and I am still getting blisters on my big toe. Would you suggest getting a new pair of shoes that I know don't give me blisters
Buy the leather boots with leather backing by the heels. Synthetic boots gibe you blisters. My cheap pair of partially leather Umbro diamondback cleats was $50. I never had blisters and after 10 years using them, they are still in perfect shape, more comfortable as they get older. First year was a bit unconfortable due to new leather but after couples of games in the rains, they are the most comfortable and fit like my second skin. I used 3mm shoe sole, it made your two hours game really pleasant.
Hey Josh I recently purchased a pair of predator instincts and I love the shoe my only problem is that the toe is a bit tight on top I have put some break in time but it didn't help very much
Hey josh, I just got a pair of ace 15.1 boots and I want to make sure they last as long as possible. When I play in the rain and have a wet pair of boots should I just let them dry in my garage or use a shoe dryer or whatever. Thanks
Hi Josh, I am interested in buying a adidas official match ball and was deciding between the 2014 World Cup brazuca or the 2015 Berlin champions league final ball. Through experience do you know which out of the two is the better option. It would mean a lot if you could let me know as I have never bought an official match ball. Thanks
Can you show us how to get fit for starting training and playing football with a team? I have played and trained for a team a year ago and I want to start again, but I don't think I'm fit. ( Sry for my bad english, its not my first language :) )
i started getting blisters on my toes...after wearing a new pair of boots...i coped with it by taping the toes with white micropore tape before wearing the boots..and i have to say no more blisters..works pretty well. :-)
Idk about other people but I have been getting major heel blisters from my evopower 1.2s. Everyone i know that has them absolutely loves them. And no i dont have too much space in my shoes.
Hey Josh would you agree that with todays current market it is even harder to get a blister from your shoes? The last time i had a blister was in a pair of mercurial vapour 7's and that was more than likely only because i wore them on a red hot turf pitch and some crumbs got in but now shoes i have worn since like the mv9, hypervenom phantoms, ctr 360's, evo power 1's, adizeros, vapour 10's, tiempo v's, etc nearly all of them have felt great and ready to go right out of the box so i really dont see how blisters are still so common unless its one of the mid cut shoes with the strip in the back of the collar
I have a pair of Nike mercurial vapor 10s and I love them but they don't seen to tighten very good when I tighten them with the laces which I think leads to my blister when they get a little lose
I have the same problem. My vapor 10s come loose after about 15 min of playing and I get blisters from it. I try to retie them as often as possible, but I can't in the middle of a game :/
Have you had any experience with the cr7 superfly's shrinking??? I wear a 12 and have worn these cleats 6 or 7 times and when I put them on last night my toes are CRAMMED.
Hi Josh. Hope you do answer this question. I've been wearing magista opus for 6 matches already. I have actually tried the hot water method on them once. But I've been having blisters on the edge of both my big toes. Is it due to sizing, or should I consider moving over to another pair of soccer cleats more suitable for wider feet (i.e hypervenom phinish)? If it's a normal issue. How would you advise on getting used to them?
***** Not really. They actually fit well and feel alright in the beginning. Only after the first 45 minutes of the match or so then do the sides of my big toes start to hurt, and form blisters in the end.
Hey Josh, I kinda struggle with stud pressure with FG cleats on dry hard natural surfaces (which actually can lead to a type of blister). My feet hurt after playing/practicing. Do you think it's better to play on those conditions more often to get used to it? Or is it better to just go ahead and use turf cleats. Keep up the good work, Cheers!
I played with Nike Hypervenom Ousadia Alegria for like three seasons but after that I got some Nike Tiempo because they stop making them I got the Tiempos today and wore them to practices and now I got a blister
Hi Josh, i got a pair of f10s for my birthday but they kind of bigger than my regular size and my uncle said he lost the ticket, is there nothing i can do to make them fit better? Thanks for the info ☺️👏
Hey josh hope you can answer,I have the Mercurial Savage Beauty Victory FG natural grass cleats. They felt a bit smaller so i took out the thing(sole pillow or whatever you call it) ,and i apparently got blisters on the lower of my foot,towards the toes. So idk how to solve this, these are my only shoes.
Hi Josh, the only model of the tiempo 5 i can find is the lowest model Rio. But it is not even leather. Do you think that the number of the shoe in Rio will be the same in legend?
socks do matter because i wore my new adidas ace 15.2 with adidas socks the first time and didn't get any type of injury, they felt really comfortable but the next day i wore regular cheap socks and minor discomfort with minor blisters
Hey Josh my feet sweat a lot causing friction on my ball and sole of my feet. I know it's not my shoes fault because it's sweating what anti sweat socks do you recommend that aren't to expensive and keep my feet dry?
The soft inside part of cotton socks cuases the foot to slip in the sock while the outside grips to the shoes, when reversed the sock slips in the shoe and sticks to your skin. this would work with more cotton based socks, cotton socks also soak up more sweat as opposed to thin plastic socks that just let the sweat sit on.
I've had hypervenom phatals for more than six months and I still get blisters, they are well broken in but if i play for extended periods of time they start to form, it's just really bad discomfort on my big toes but I think it has to do with the insoles being so thin, try thicker socks!
Josh- I wear two pairs of socks. My Adidas copas and a thin pair of ankle socks underneath. Been wearing a pair of the new copas since they came out and they're pretty much broken in but still getting a blister every week after the game on only my right big toe. You think wrapping that one toe in tape or something would help? Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Hey Josh, I have both a pair of hypervenoms Phatals and a pair of mercurialX proximos. Both are size 9 and feel great on my feet but I just realized that there is still about a finger (maybe not quite as much, maybe more like 0.75CM) space between my toes and the tip of the shoes. Is that how they are supposed to fit or have I been buying the wrong size all this time?
I Bought The magistas Opus turqouise and the first month of playing with them they were giving me blisters that idodnt wana wear them nomore cus i was scare , but after i try to keep wearing nd then that blistering stopped, id say its just the normal process when it comes to wearing certain leather boots or similar to magistas, i had to wear double socks and bandaids in the process but now my magistas are all broken in👍👍👍
Josh I know this isn't a boot review but I need some help. I ordered a pair of orange hypervenom phantoms (1st edition) in a size nine us. Do you think they are a genuine pair of phantoms. Thx a reply would be much appreciated! :)
Josh really loving the variety of content lately. I have recently joined the EJA league which is the best league in southern England for my age group , I am required to wear black boots is there any you could recommend that is in stock
Hey Josh, I have been looking forward to this video as I have had loads of problems with blisters as I have had my Magista Obra's for around 8 months and I have had a few problems with blisters, but nothing too serious, however in recent weeks I have been getting blisters every time I play or train on my toes, I now have many blisters on top of blisters and a lot of bruised blood and blood like blisters, and I took your point about maybe my boots are finished/ need replaced but they are still in great condition minus a hole in both insoles on the big toe area where I've been getting the blisters, I have also tried to use trusox and this doesn't help. I am also confused as my boots have fitted perfectly since I got them but only feel discomfort later in the games in both big toe areas. I'm not sure what to do as i have tried everything and I can't find a solution, very informative video tho, enjoyed it.
I have had the Ace 17.1 Primeknit for 6 months. I have never had problems with these cleats before. Last week I attended a soccer camp and it was on turf. I haven't played on turf in many years. It was 5 days and 6 hours each day. I practiced the next 2 days after that camp. A blister developed on my left heel. My socks are Nike Elites and there are no holes in them. I'm not sure why I got the blister, but my high school field is turf and I don't want to have this problem reoccur. Should I get new shoes or is there another way to solve the problem.
If you wear tight fitting shoes for that long, while running around for 5 days straight, getting a blister or experiencing any kind of discomfort isn't really abnormal. Especially if it was fairly hot outside. Let your blister heal and you should be fine. I wouldn't necessarily fault the boots in this situation.
I just use running socks :P very dense but smooth material type. Not the nylon ones but idk what material, theyre nike socks. They are really tight and smooth against the shoe so theres not a lot of friction ,therefore no blistersssss.
Hi. I bought Nike MagistaX Proximos in May and there has always seemed to be a dent just above the the heal, on the 'Nike' strip running behind the shoe. I've tried tapes that prevent discomfort and it's better but should I ask for a return even if it's pretty late or is that how it's meant to be? Also the rest of the shoe fits perfectly and playing/training is fine, I just feel a dent on my achillies. Thanks
Hey man. I have Magista Obra's, the upper is separating from the soleplate, not too much but slightly.they feel great and I know they can last a whole other season as I only wore them for half a season. How do I fix them? Do I glue them or is there a specific product I should use to sort it?
I was going to say why wasn't I told that HyperVenom felon II would be narrow if I get a 30 day money back and they are slightly used will the company take them back and exchange them for a size up I'm an 8.5 men's US and I am concerned if I should size up by half a size or go a dill size up there is plenty of toe space it's just I need a comfortable heel support
It's not up to the retailer to inform you on the product. They display whatever product information is available from the brand, but that's about it. The way it fits and feels is something that you have to research on your own. They also can't figure out what size you need.
Hi josh I bought a pair of hypervenoms in the liquid diamond colour way and I know it would take longer to break into and I've worn them atleast 20 times and I have extreme pain on the top of my pinky and the back of my heel but when I take them off there is nothing there were I felt pain...do you know how to fix it??
I am planning to get the mercurial vapor 10s, but because I have wide feet I am afraid they wont fit me well, but I remember having the victory Vs. My question is: Is the fit in the takedowns the same as in the top end models?
Need some advice. 4 months ago I bought a pair of new Superfly V. I ran through a proper break-in as you suggested. They felt great on my feet. Very snug, but nothing painful. However, when I play I continually get blisters on my right foot. Mainly on the inside, mid foot area. I wear trusox and lace the boots fairly tight to minimize the slip. I am flat footed though, could that be the issue? I'm also fairly overweight, could that also contribute to the blistering?
no boot so far ive has has stopped me from getting blisters on my 2 big toes, they're all broken in and ive had vapour 7, adidas predator lz sl and what im currently wearing the predator instinct and its been happening for years and im pretty sure its because im stopping way to quick when sprinting.
Yo Josh...i love your review videos and i was hoping u can make one on the very tradition and very retro Mikasa ball...the leather and sponge balls are super affordable but idk if the performance is really good...i hear good things about it but i kinda want to see your opinion about it
I bought the hypervenom phelon 3 and wore them straight into a game, I now have blisters on both of my heels, is this because I didn't break into my boots before playing in them. The fit and length is perfect.
Any shoe can give you blisters. If you wear new boots straight into a game, or just treat them as normal from the start, they can give you blisters. Regardless of whether or not they feel comfortable, there's still an adjustment period for you feet to get used to the shoes.
Hi josh, i recently bought puma's Evopower 1.2 and bought 1/2 a size bigger. They feel great but when i wear them for a long time my pinky toes get blisters. Should i just be patient and let them break in? Thanks.
Hey josh I just got my magista obra 2 and I wore them to one training session for the first time and after 1 hour I got 2 blisters what should I do? Keep wearing them? Or wait and let them heal?
Who else has a blister and just found this video......

This is my personal tip to avoid blisters: Play with no shoes
yeah and let other people step on your feet with cleats.
Irfan Ananta that's right
justbeingkareem that’s what I did it’s 👌
Yes and get your toes break while kicking ball

for me its only the ones with the ankle support
man city rockz yea same. I keep getting it from those and it won't stop I've even tried putting extra socks and bandaids but nothing's working :(
tobito the burrito maybe plaster your heals before you play or break them in when you know you don't need to play for a week or so
hey josh ive been wearing high end hypervenoms for a couple months but i keep getting blisters on the sole of my feet, especially my stronger foot. my shoes are also still in good condition, just a bit dirty. what should i do?
Where specifically on the bottom of your foot?
you know that meaty part right below your big toe, idk if that part has a name, but i dont get blisters anywhere else, ONLY that part
Does it feel like your foot sliding around inside of the shoes while you're playing? Blisters in that area are generally caused by your shoes being too big and your feet sliding around.
Soccer Reviews For You no, my feet barely experience any sliding inside the cleat and i can wear them without having to tie my shoelaces too tightly
My Adidas Ace 17.1 Gave me a blister on my back Heel.. Only on my left foot why?
Without more details, I couldn't really say.
Soccer Reviews For You Is there any way to avoid getting blisters?

Matthias Jenne Just let them dry naturally. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb the water as well.
I have the new superfly 5 and i only get blisters on my heel mid game, I've done the hot water trick and i still get blisters, Any help?
I go over everything in this video.
+Soccer Reviews For You ass he's asking for help he probably already watch the video but he needs more help
Same!!!
my cleats dont break in they just give me blisters every time
Hi Josh, I am interested in buying a adidas official match ball and was deciding between the 2014 World Cup brazuca or the 2015 Berlin champions league final ball. Through experience do you know which out of the two is the better option. It would mean a lot if you could let me know as I have never bought an official match ball. Thanks
Real Soccer Reviews They're both equally as good, just a little different when it comes to feel.
Ah right thanks :)
Can you show us how to get fit for starting training and playing football with a team? I have played and trained for a team a year ago and I want to start again, but I don't think I'm fit. ( Sry for my bad english, its not my first language :) )
Th3_H4mm3r I'm no expert, but starting out jogging or playing small-sided does a good job for me
SebasNumber8 I play about 30 min every day, but I just feel like I'm not fit for a whole season :/
The best way to get in shape in my Opinion for football is doing sprints. Do 30 to 50yard sprints. 4-5 days a week.
Th3_H4mm3r The best thing is to progressively challenge yourself more slowly, both physically and mentally IMO
Kick TheBall Your English is good, dont worry :) Im probably going to try riding my bike every day :)
i started getting blisters on my toes...after wearing a new pair of boots...i coped with it by taping the toes with white micropore tape before wearing the boots..and i have to say no more blisters..works pretty well. :-)
This video literally came out right after I got back from my tournament which I got huge blisters from thanks for the advice for further knowledge
It’s been 6 years, you playing pro now bro? Pls say yes
Idk about other people but I have been getting major heel blisters from my evopower 1.2s. Everyone i know that has them absolutely loves them. And no i dont have too much space in my shoes.
What material is ideal for socks used in cleats? 100% Cotton? Polyester blend?
Thanks!
PerogieUF I honestly couldn't tell you.
Hey Josh would you agree that with todays current market it is even harder to get a blister from your shoes? The last time i had a blister was in a pair of mercurial vapour 7's and that was more than likely only because i wore them on a red hot turf pitch and some crumbs got in but now shoes i have worn since like the mv9, hypervenom phantoms, ctr 360's, evo power 1's, adizeros, vapour 10's, tiempo v's, etc nearly all of them have felt great and ready to go right out of the box so i really dont see how blisters are still so common unless its one of the mid cut shoes with the strip in the back of the collar
If there anything I can do to get rid of the blisters I'm getting in my Nike Mecurialx proximo?
+Ben Davies Where are you getting blisters? Some of the tips that I talk about in this video will likely help you out.
I have a pair of Nike mercurial vapor 10s and I love them but they don't seen to tighten very good when I tighten them with the laces which I think leads to my blister when they get a little lose
I have the same problem. My vapor 10s come loose after about 15 min of playing and I get blisters from it. I try to retie them as often as possible, but I can't in the middle of a game :/
Have you had any experience with the cr7 superfly's shrinking??? I wear a 12 and have worn these cleats 6 or 7 times and when I put them on last night my toes are CRAMMED.
Hi Josh. Hope you do answer this question. I've been wearing magista opus for 6 matches already. I have actually tried the hot water method on them once. But I've been having blisters on the edge of both my big toes. Is it due to sizing, or should I consider moving over to another pair of soccer cleats more suitable for wider feet (i.e hypervenom phinish)? If it's a normal issue. How would you advise on getting used to them?
Shawn Goh That isn't normal. Do they feel uncomfortable?
***** Not really. They actually fit well and feel alright in the beginning. Only after the first 45 minutes of the match or so then do the sides of my big toes start to hurt, and form blisters in the end.
Hey Josh, I kinda struggle with stud pressure with FG cleats on dry hard natural surfaces (which actually can lead to a type of blister). My feet hurt after playing/practicing. Do you think it's better to play on those conditions more often to get used to it? Or is it better to just go ahead and use turf cleats. Keep up the good work, Cheers!
***** I would use turf shoes if the ground is really hard.
I played with Nike Hypervenom Ousadia Alegria for like three seasons but after that I got some Nike Tiempo because they stop making them I got the Tiempos today and wore them to practices and now I got a blister
josh, what quality does the ace 15.3 have on the upper or is the 15.2 more worth the money?
I use my new superfly 6 elite in a high school game , but was really comfortable no blisters. They feel really light on foot.
Hey Josh, when will you do reviews for the new color ways of the Nike Hypervenom Phinish?
Hi Josh, i got a pair of f10s for my birthday but they kind of bigger than my regular size and my uncle said he lost the ticket, is there nothing i can do to make them fit better?
Thanks for the info ☺️👏
Erick OCAMPO There's no way to make them smaller, no.
Wear two pairs of socks
Put a second insole or a thicker insole in
What would you say are the difference between the Nike premier and tiempo legend 5? Debating on which to get
I've just applied some heel grips from superdrugs to my magistas we'll see how well that works out
Hey josh hope you can answer,I have the Mercurial Savage Beauty Victory FG natural grass cleats. They felt a bit smaller so i took out the thing(sole pillow or whatever you call it) ,and i apparently got blisters on the lower of my foot,towards the toes. So idk how to solve this, these are my only shoes.
Are they the right size. That's an area of the foot where blisters usually caused due to to slippage, which only happens when your shoes are too big.
Hi Josh, the only model of the tiempo 5 i can find is the lowest model Rio. But it is not even leather. Do you think that the number of the shoe in Rio will be the same in legend?
Κωνσταντίνος Αργυρίου I'm not sure?
socks do matter because i wore my new adidas ace 15.2 with adidas socks the first time and didn't get any type of injury, they felt really comfortable but the next day i wore regular cheap socks and minor discomfort with minor blisters
Hey Josh my feet sweat a lot causing friction on my ball and sole of my feet. I know it's not my shoes fault because it's sweating what anti sweat socks do you recommend that aren't to expensive and keep my feet dry?
Your feet are going to sweat. No sock is going to prevent that.
where your socks inside-out.
Eric Estrada how will that help exactly?
The soft inside part of cotton socks cuases the foot to slip in the sock while the outside grips to the shoes, when reversed the sock slips in the shoe and sticks to your skin. this would work with more cotton based socks, cotton socks also soak up more sweat as opposed to thin plastic socks that just let the sweat sit on.
Eric Estrada thankyou ill give it a try :)
I've had hypervenom phatals for more than six months and I still get blisters, they are well broken in but if i play for extended periods of time they start to form, it's just really bad discomfort on my big toes but I think it has to do with the insoles being so thin, try thicker socks!
Josh- I wear two pairs of socks. My Adidas copas and a thin pair of ankle socks underneath. Been wearing a pair of the new copas since they came out and they're pretty much broken in but still getting a blister every week after the game on only my right big toe. You think wrapping that one toe in tape or something would help? Any suggestions would be much appreciated
That's definitely worth a try.
Saw this a liiiiilte bit too late, but good to know why i have blisters now
Hey Josh, I have both a pair of hypervenoms Phatals and a pair of mercurialX proximos. Both are size 9 and feel great on my feet but I just realized that there is still about a finger (maybe not quite as much, maybe more like 0.75CM) space between my toes and the tip of the shoes. Is that how they are supposed to fit or have I been buying the wrong size all this time?
Angel Ojeda It all depends on what feels comfortable to you.
I Bought The magistas Opus turqouise and the first month of playing with them they were giving me blisters that idodnt wana wear them nomore cus i was scare , but after i try to keep wearing nd then that blistering stopped, id say its just the normal process when it comes to wearing certain leather boots or similar to magistas, i had to wear double socks and bandaids in the process but now my magistas are all broken in👍👍👍
How do pro players do it when it comes to new shoes?
danthemanwitheplan Lots of pros aren't wearing the same off the shelf shoes that are sold to the public.
Josh I know this isn't a boot review but I need some help. I ordered a pair of orange hypervenom phantoms (1st edition) in a size nine us. Do you think they are a genuine pair of phantoms. Thx a reply would be much appreciated! :)
Samuele Lanza I can't really say based on essentially no information.
Ok thanks for the reply and I think I should be ok considering all the reviews are good.
you learn something new every day know I know why my 4 old shoes are so uncomfortable even tho they look fine especially on the bottom of the sole
My socks are to thin and i can feel my foot moving inside could that be a reason i get a blister? and should i get thicker socks?
If your foot is sliding in your shoe, that can definitely lead to a blister.
+Soccer Reviews For You what would you recommend ?
+Christian Balleno I use Tru Socks to avoid that
+The GiraffeaSourus thank you
Hi Josh in my place the grass surface is very hard and the not really have grass,then which stud pattern is better to go for?Thanks!
Tam Chin Cheuk I would probably go for some turf shoes.
How about ace 15.1?
I know this is weird but I wear two socks so I won't get blister
That won't 100% prevent blisters, but it's something that you can do if you find it more comfortable.
Darz does it help ?
Josh can you do a video explaining the differences between ace 15.1,2,3 because I don't get the difference of them
ITzzz JO3Y That's coming.
Ok thanks josh!
Josh really loving the variety of content lately. I have recently joined the EJA league which is the best league in southern England for my age group , I am required to wear black boots is there any you could recommend that is in stock
Adidas world cups are the best
Nike premier
Mahlei Simpson Miles That depends on what kind of feel that you're looking for.
Hey Josh, I have been looking forward to this video as I have had loads of problems with blisters as I have had my Magista Obra's for around 8 months and I have had a few problems with blisters, but nothing too serious, however in recent weeks I have been getting blisters every time I play or train on my toes, I now have many blisters on top of blisters and a lot of bruised blood and blood like blisters, and I took your point about maybe my boots are finished/ need replaced but they are still in great condition minus a hole in both insoles on the big toe area where I've been getting the blisters, I have also tried to use trusox and this doesn't help. I am also confused as my boots have fitted perfectly since I got them but only feel discomfort later in the games in both big toe areas. I'm not sure what to do as i have tried everything and I can't find a solution, very informative video tho, enjoyed it.
Robbie McGale Sounds like the insoles are worn out, not the shoes.
Thanks, I will, I'm just unsure of what's causing the insoles to tear, as the material is worn away, must just be the friction
I have had the Ace 17.1 Primeknit for 6 months. I have never had problems with these cleats before. Last week I attended a soccer camp and it was on turf. I haven't played on turf in many years. It was 5 days and 6 hours each day. I practiced the next 2 days after that camp. A blister developed on my left heel. My socks are Nike Elites and there are no holes in them. I'm not sure why I got the blister, but my high school field is turf and I don't want to have this problem reoccur. Should I get new shoes or is there another way to solve the problem.
If you wear tight fitting shoes for that long, while running around for 5 days straight, getting a blister or experiencing any kind of discomfort isn't really abnormal. Especially if it was fairly hot outside. Let your blister heal and you should be fine. I wouldn't necessarily fault the boots in this situation.
Thank you.
I just use running socks :P very dense but smooth material type. Not the nylon ones but idk what material, theyre nike socks. They are really tight and smooth against the shoe so theres not a lot of friction ,therefore no blistersssss.
I've been wearing the superfly 5s and the ankle brace keeps giving me blisters around my ankle
emre kahraman i had that problem it eventually stops once you break them in
emre kahraman i had that problem it eventually stops once you break them in
emre kahraman same this is really annoying and has never happened to any of my ankle type shoes
Hi. I bought Nike MagistaX Proximos in May and there has always seemed to be a dent just above the the heal, on the 'Nike' strip running behind the shoe. I've tried tapes that prevent discomfort and it's better but should I ask for a return even if it's pretty late or is that how it's meant to be? Also the rest of the shoe fits perfectly and playing/training is fine, I just feel a dent on my achillies. Thanks
Green Guy There shouldn't be anything bulging out in the heel area. Is the material inside permanently bent?
Yeah, it's bent right in the middle of the back part of the shoe. from the sock part to the sole, right in the centre there's a indent.
and I can't unbend it.
you should do an unboxing of the nike ctr360 lights out
Hey man. I have Magista Obra's, the upper is separating from the soleplate, not too much but slightly.they feel great and I know they can last a whole other season as I only wore them for half a season. How do I fix them? Do I glue them or is there a specific product I should use to sort it?
EKHarrison4 You can't really fix that kind of thing. You can try glueing it, but it will likely separate again pretty quickly.
I was going to say why wasn't I told that HyperVenom felon II would be narrow if I get a 30 day money back and they are slightly used will the company take them back and exchange them for a size up I'm an 8.5 men's US and I am concerned if I should size up by half a size or go a dill size up there is plenty of toe space it's just I need a comfortable heel support
It's not up to the retailer to inform you on the product. They display whatever product information is available from the brand, but that's about it. The way it fits and feels is something that you have to research on your own. They also can't figure out what size you need.
Hi josh I bought a pair of hypervenoms in the liquid diamond colour way and I know it would take longer to break into and I've worn them atleast 20 times and I have extreme pain on the top of my pinky and the back of my heel but when I take them off there is nothing there were I felt pain...do you know how to fix it??
Jacksta Football Do they fit you properly?
I am planning to get the mercurial vapor 10s, but because I have wide feet I am afraid they wont fit me well, but I remember having the victory Vs. My question is: Is the fit in the takedowns the same as in the top end models?
andres texmex The fit is a lot different in comparison to the takedown models.
Need some advice. 4 months ago I bought a pair of new Superfly V. I ran through a proper break-in as you suggested. They felt great on my feet. Very snug, but nothing painful. However, when I play I continually get blisters on my right foot. Mainly on the inside, mid foot area. I wear trusox and lace the boots fairly tight to minimize the slip. I am flat footed though, could that be the issue? I'm also fairly overweight, could that also contribute to the blistering?
It could actually be the Trusox. Have you tried playing without them?
Soccer Reviews For You No, but I'll give it a try.
Hey Josh are the hypervenom phinish easy to break in and do you recommend this shoe ?
blackeyedpeasjr They're stiff at first, but no major issues.
Thank you !
no boot so far ive has has stopped me from getting blisters on my 2 big toes, they're all broken in and ive had vapour 7, adidas predator lz sl and what im currently wearing the predator instinct and its been happening for years and im pretty sure its because im stopping way to quick when sprinting.
I think I had something like that too. Not stopping on a stomp, but on steps, helped a lot.
+Soccer Reviews For You hey josh what do you think is the minimum number of hours it would take to break in a pair of Superfly 4s?
Hoang Diep There's no answer to that question. Everyone will have a different experience.
Yo Josh...i love your review videos and i was hoping u can make one on the very tradition and very retro Mikasa ball...the leather and sponge balls are super affordable but idk if the performance is really good...i hear good things about it but i kinda want to see your opinion about it
I bought the hypervenom phelon 3 and wore them straight into a game, I now have blisters on both of my heels, is this because I didn't break into my boots before playing in them. The fit and length is perfect.
Any shoe can give you blisters. If you wear new boots straight into a game, or just treat them as normal from the start, they can give you blisters. Regardless of whether or not they feel comfortable, there's still an adjustment period for you feet to get used to the shoes.
Let's say you have the Nike CR7 Silverware a half size too big and start to get blisters. Would trusox help at all?
andrew perez Maybe.
andrew perez buy a noene insole to add on top of the original insole its just 1mm plus it distribute the shock its great.
Hi, i just bought Messi 10.3 FG and i would Love if you could give me a little review or an opinion from you
kosta khaled There will be a video going up on the channel relatively soon.
Hi josh, i recently bought puma's Evopower 1.2 and bought 1/2 a size bigger. They feel great but when i wear them for a long time my pinky toes get blisters. Should i just be patient and let them break in? Thanks.
kakit03312 Likely, yes.
Hey josh I just got my magista obra 2 and I wore them to one training session for the first time and after 1 hour I got 2 blisters what should I do? Keep wearing them? Or wait and let them heal?
