Mizunos are absolutely fantastic, and with current boot prices, I think that spending 300+ dollars is worth the investment for the best quality, instead saving some money to buy Adidas or Nike. Great video as usual, thank you for the content!
@@noahsgaming2307most of us buying the boots want it for ourselves and its not like we can just get up and go to another country just for the sole purpose of buying a pair of football boots
I live in Indonesia so Mizuno boots are actually cheaper than those of the western brands. Got the Morelia Neo III Elite on sale for $80 which is absolutely bonkers.
Mizuno is by far the best boots I've ever owned in exactly every area that you've stated in this video. Nothing since has come close. I would encourage anyone who has never tried Mizuno to do so.
I’m really curious to hear your thoughts on the Mizuno Alpha Select, Mizuno’s lowest takedown of the Alpha. I can’t find a single review of them in English online.
You should start reviewing how well these FG models would do on AG turfs. Simply because I think a lot of your viewers probably play on AG turfs and you have mentioned in previous videos how important it is to wear AG pairs on AG surfaces but I can't help but think if I can get away with some FGs on AG grounds simply because of a lack of availability. For example, these Mizunos aren't available as AGs so it begs the question for a lot of your viewers whether we can wear these on AG surfaces or not. The answer is probably no but it would be good to see that in the reviews. Just my opinion ofc. Thanks for the videos!
The AG question is always good to ask. Many retailers say that Mizuno Morelia, Morelia Neo and Alpha are suitable for AG. I personally agree. But it's always good to remember that just the term "AG" is not accurate enough. Playing on new and wet AG versus playing on old and dry AG is already very different thing. The discussion about AG friendly studs is often about the shape, but not so much about the length of the studs. For example: Mizuno Alpha studs are not round, but they are short, which makes them feel really safe and good on most AG pitches.
i had a pair of mizuno ignitus wave 3 a decade ago, made in vietnam, but literally stayed with me until 2020, very very durable to the point that i played on gravel pitch just to get them torn (and a new reason to buy another mizuno boot). sadly it was stolen before the pandemic.
I got mizuno morelia 3 elites and alpha elites and can honestly say best boots ever. But i actually love the alpha elites the best in terms of feeling and playing pergormance for me, but i hate the fact it gets scuffed and cant get other colours out of my white boots
Hi, Im between this and a pair of NB Tekela V4 low, two of my main concerns are laces/midfoot lockdown and durability on AG pitches, Ive so many studs break, and experience solepliting im tired of it. I wondered if this is as durable as de MIJ or as the old mizunos that had those round staple nails on the soleplates.
Mizuno morelia neo 3 is the best boot I ever played with. But the issue was the insole. too soft and did not last long imo. I just bought the 4 beta elite fg/ag.
wanted to love these so bad but the heel in the right boot put so much pressure on my heel I just couldn’t make it work, such a shame. amazing boots and left foot felt perfect 😭😢
At my left boots I don’t have any space in front of my big toe but at my right I have a little bit of space like 2mm, I should buy this tipy of size or a larger size
Doesn't seem to matter if it's a $300 boot or a $100 boot, if you're playing mostly turf, slide tackling, and go year round, boots seem to last 3 months or so...soccer is an expensive sport but certainly cheaper than some.
Hi Joshua. Is the new Puma King pro as close to the ultimate as the Future? Could you please review the Puma King Pro. I don’t think Puma makes the King Ultimate in MG.
How would you compare the soleplate/cushioning of these vs the Morelia II MIJ? Been wearing Morelia II and they feel very thin on AG surfaces, not much cushioning/support, can feel the ground really hard. Is the Neo 4 soleplate stronger or "thicker" in comarison?
Had these boots for a couple of months now and only used them for roughly 10 games. Has anyone else had issues with the sole plate at the toe box area coming apart from the leather upper?
Hey, I want to buy a Mizuno but I don't know which size to buy Because I see on other pages and videos that you need to buy half size less, please help mee. I use 9 us in Nike and Adidas
I wear a 9 in the vapors and wore a 9.5 in the tiempo legend 5, 6, and 7. I still got a 9 in the MIJ version and they fit absolutely perfectly. Going down a half size for me was impossible since I couldn’t get the boot onto my foot. Just my experience.
thank you for recommending me furons v7 destroy - after sending back +/- 10 pairs they are finally something that looks and feels high quality, and not only fits my wide and tall feet but is very comfortable.
442s are massively underrated. Super comfy, very light. Get some kangaroo leather too. I mainly play on AG too and the conical soleplate is great for AG. Pretty easy to find pretty cheap prices for them too.
@@shamreazahmed8170 no, my friend goes to USA regularly and I’m going to ask him to pick me up a pair. They’re a bit cheaper there too. In England they aren’t even available and if they are it’s a ball ache getting them.
In case you guys don’t know MIJs are much cheaper in Japan if you ever plan on visiting definitely pick up a pair. I have the chrome neo 3 MIJs but if I’m ever in Japan I’ll definitely be buying a few more
@@henrybennett6432 I’m not quite sure the exact amount but I’d imagine they cost around the price of the elite model and since the US currency is much stronger than the Japanese currency you’d definitely get a great deal.
Alpha is much snappier in the soul plate, so it’s great for speed and has a barefoot sensation. I’d class it as a pure speed boot. Neos have fantastic kangaroo leather that feels out of this world, and are extremely light weight so it’s a mix between a traditional leather boot and a speed boot, without the aggressive soul plate.
@@Soccerreviewsforyou True I recently got my hands on a pair but it was hard even finding one in my size. They are pretty much out of stock it seems (at least here in germany). Bought one because of your reviews. They are as amazing as you said. Altough on the elite version I had big issues with the heel at the beginning. But thanks for the update! Keep it up 💪
I can’t say that I’ve experienced that or seen that it’s a common issue. I don’t see any reason why it would be. These are as well made as anything from the more popular boot brands.
They work great. I have wide feet, I purchased a size 9.5 in these. One thing I will mention they are super uncomfortable upon break in. Break in lasted about 4-5 hours. Once broken in you will have enough toe width due to the K leather. The midfoot takes the longest to break in and it's where they were uncomfortable. Once broken in they are super light and comfortable. Also, you receive alot of feedback from the ball.
I seriously don't know how you can still review other boots after wearing mizunos 😂 They ruined "football boots" for me 🤣 my feet just can't touch anything else. As a football player, I'm really happy because i have a super reliable boots. But as a boot geek I'm very disappointed, because every other boots will never come close 🥲

Same

Yo Charly, any reviews on Charly cleats? Liga MX huge brand

I would encourage anyone who has never tried Mizuno to do so.
damn.. the finishing is sheer elite. the feel and details, shows seamless beauty. it looks so so good. it just speaks for itself.
I’m really curious to hear your thoughts on the Mizuno Alpha Select, Mizuno’s lowest takedown of the Alpha. I can’t find a single review of them in English online.
From what I’ve heard the takedown model from the alpha is worth it. There are very subtle differences between the takedown and top end model
jay have them, it's old video, but i still believe it's quite similar to now
Joshua! It would be nice that you can show us the inside of the boots in detail, may be with a small fiber optic camera or something like that
I was hoping for the same 😬 The interior lining has become a very important part of my decision to buy a certain pair of football boots.

My Rebula is pretty bad on AG despite conical studs. Studs are tall af
mizunos do have AG models FYI / and MD models with thick conical studs are actually ok to wear on AG as long as the stud can dig into the ground
The Morelia 2 pro does have an AG stud plate option. But Mizuno don't make AG plates any further up the range.
what I noticed between MIJ and indonesia ones are MIJ actually last longer, especially the sole separation
i had a pair of mizuno ignitus wave 3 a decade ago, made in vietnam, but literally stayed with me until 2020, very very durable to the point that i played on gravel pitch just to get them torn (and a new reason to buy another mizuno boot). sadly it was stolen before the pandemic.
Well… you got your reason to get a new pair 🤷🏽♂️😢
Torn between these and the MIJ version. I know that the MIJ version is the best of the best but wondering if it truly is worth the extra $100.
I got mizuno morelia 3 elites and alpha elites and can honestly say best boots ever. But i actually love the alpha elites the best in terms of feeling and playing pergormance for me, but i hate the fact it gets scuffed and cant get other colours out of my white boots

If you ever go to Japan buy mizunos the Beta made in japan sells for $195 30,800 yen
Literally just picked these up yesterday in South Korea for the equivalent of 126 USD. Probably one of the best value for money deals I’ve ever seen.
Very small detail, but I wish they kept the rectangular shape of the laceholes along with the extra lacehole from the Neo 3s
Love the colorway 🔥
Sad to see the traditional tongue go… but good to know that for $200 you can still get a fantastic pair of boots. I’ll never not get mizuno.
Mizuno still makes the Neo 4 with the traditional tongue
the tongue usually is in the non beta variant
Are these manufacturers ever going to increase production of AG variants? Whenever an AG model is released, they sell out almost instantly.
Please watch the form and the size of the studs ?
Maybe
I can't stop looking at those Hypervenoms 1 over your shoulder
Great in depth review, thank you! I want to replace my Adidas Predator 19.1. Are the Morelia Neo IV Beta Elite to prefer above the Alpha Elite?
Mizuno morelia neo 3 is the best boot I ever played with. But the issue was the insole. too soft and did not last long imo. I just bought the 4 beta elite fg/ag.

Just wondering what exactly are the difference between the mizuno models?
Got morelia 4 beta MIJ for 200$ in jpn. Insane for the valuee
Hey i wanted your opinion on the mizuno neo between the sock variation closed all around and the ones with the toungue
At my left boots I don’t have any space in front of my big toe but at my right I have a little bit of space like 2mm, I should buy this tipy of size or a larger size
So lucky for me living in Indonesia this model costs us as low as 100usd☺️

is it worth to get the 4s rather than the 3s?
Why do they make the laces so damn long? Had to cut mine down on previous Morelias
That’s great but can you please review the pro model
Can you please recommend an Astro turf shoe for someone with haglund's deformity?

so you would say mercurials = mizuno when it comes to sizing?
@@mater753s I went down a size from Mercurials. My size is 43 EU (US 10) for the Mercurials. The Mizuno Alpha fit me perfectly in 42 EU (US 9,5).
I am wearing Crazyfast.1 in 42 schould i stay with 42?
Love the Mizunos but the blisters in the back on the aquiles make me drop them in the bag and my old Nikes every game. What a shame
so how would you compare nike vs mizuno when it comes to sizing? I wear nike 11 (multiple models), but never ordered mizuno before...
Hey Josh, this or the Alpha elite?
If you tend to prefer leather boots, I’d go for the Neo.
thank you for recommending me furons v7 destroy - after sending back +/- 10 pairs they are finally something that looks and feels high quality, and not only fits my wide and tall feet but is very comfortable.
Which one is better: alpha elite or this one?
What do u think I should get, new balance 442 or the Nike tiempo legend 10 pro? Thank you for the advice
haven't heard too many great things abt the legends 10s, so i'd stick w nb
442s are massively underrated. Super comfy, very light. Get some kangaroo leather too. I mainly play on AG too and the conical soleplate is great for AG. Pretty easy to find pretty cheap prices for them too.
thank you@@1771soccerstar

What’s the durability like on the elites
Quick question Josh, Alpha or Neo 4 Beta? Which is better? 🙏🏻

Neos have fantastic kangaroo leather that feels out of this world, and are extremely light weight so it’s a mix between a traditional leather boot and a speed boot, without the aggressive soul plate.
Hi Josh, I usually wear Nike Tiempo, UK 10.5. Will the same size work for these?
Yes 👍
Looking swole bro
apart from morelia II, what other mizunos are 2e wide feet compatible?
The Alpha has some decent width to it as well 👍
Made in Japan is more durable since they let them seat for days instead of just make and ship
I'm a size 11 in Tiempos, which fit perferct, should I go true to size or go half a size done or go with a size down?
US sizing is the same 👍
@soccerreviewsforyou I bought made in Japan version in size 10 uk but they r not true to size they feel like 10.5 did u have a similar problem.
always size down .5 on mizunos unless you have extra wide feet
JAPAN ONLY
K-leather is undefeated.
