Hi, will you be reviewing the adidas f50 plus? I know some reviews have been saying ok things about them, but i think they do have some promise as they seem to be pushing the envalope with a more speed focused soleplate. Also the shape and toebox area seems to have changed which im not sure if it affects the sizing. Would live to hear you thoights on them considering you have tried the f50 elites, crazyfast, speedportal, abd og f50.
@Krissfootykicks Ай бұрын
@baraaamir7891 so I had the F50 pluses. They broke after one training session. And I had to return them. But I have to say the Limited time with them I thought the were better than the standard ones.
@baraaamir7891 Ай бұрын
@Krissfootykicks how is the sizing, and is the toe box slightly higher or more anatomical. The reason I ask is because I have a slightly higher bug toe and I find the standard f50 too cramped in the toes.

Great boot! And great to see another guy appreciating these amazing boots which feel slightly under appreciated. Quick question, how is the sizing.

@Krissfootykicks is the midfoot too tight after going half a size down, or are they similar feeling interms of width.
