Finally, someone that doesnt just try to sell boots from hype. I'm not sure if we just have similar playstyles or foot shapes but I have enormous buyer's remorse from purchasing alphas on the recommendations of sr4u and unisport. I found them problematic for the exact reasons you've given. I have returned the preds after trying to break them in and i settled on the tekela's as you suggested and I am just flying on the field with them right now. Keep up the authentic reviews, where I can tell you actually tested these shoes properly and not just place them on feet for a couple of minutes. You deserve more recognition and your feedback has been invaluable for me and i'm sure a lot of other prospective buyers. Thanks again mate and have a great day.

There are literally turf, futsal, AG and FG variations of the Alpha. They're mostly only sold in Japan thouh.... I have a pair they are easily far superior to any Nike or Adidas shoe.

I like the Mizuno Alpha MIJs, but I tried the takedown Alpha Elites and the feel of the material just isn't as good as Mercurials for me, so I kinda agree. I know it all depends on foot shape but the Vapors just fit better while having that sock feel compared to the Alpha Elites

I think actually Copa Pures are one of the best boots on the Market but if you wait a bit and buy them on discount, they really work perfect for me since I play midd field and defense.- However no Football boots should Cost more than $200. Predators are really good as well. But I really respect your opinion and if we are talking because of the price tag I’d say yes they over priced, but on therms of quality I think they really good! Best Regards

Crazy take on the alpha. If I remember correctly, you reviewed the elites and not MIJ? Big difference in feel between both. I ditched my Crazyfast + and Vapor 15 as the lock down is way better than both. Upper thinness is a mix between the X and vapor 15. Not too think like the 15 and not as thin as crazyfast. Not to mention the alpha had a karvo insert, something the 15 and X don’t have. Alpha Also has the a PROPER AG option

You have 150 pairs of boots? I call bull shit. If you spent on average $100 on them, then that’s $15,000 on boots. Also, how many can you actually wear? For you to wear them consistently for 3 months to be able to give a good review, that’s 37.5 years of playing constantly.
