I love da design of this shoe it's one of my alltime top 5 if not my #1 design, love the review.

Definitely! I'd say it's top 10 for me!

Just cane across your channel! Love the review. We seem to have the same kind of foot, mine also gets wide in the same spot from having a large instep. I’m still using my Hypervenom Phantom 3s and was looking at the GTs or the Puma Ultra’s as a replacement.

just came across the channel and awesome review bro💪🏼i plan on getting these cause my feet are pretty wide, but since you said they run a little long should i still go half a size down or stay true to size cause of my wide feet??

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I appreciate it brother, thank you! They run about a 1/4 size long, so if you can, I'd try on both your natural size and a 1/2 size down to see which fits the best. If you decide to go straight into the 1/2 smaller, you may find the break in time to be a bit longer and less comfortable in order to get the optimal fit with those!

[@smelltheflowers3049]

my obra 2 just died and im sad.. I hope these can fill the void. I just play pick up but i loved my obra 2s

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I wish I could mate! They don't sell them anymore unfortunately... I've got a pair of SG phantom venoms, but if they don't sell them anymore, it's tough to review them and say they're good boots when no one who watches the video can go out and buy them! Does that make sense?

[@michaels1044]

You can find authentic pairs being resold on Stock X, great place to buy cleats that aren’t sold anymore fs

[@jaywerb4672]

Hey sorry I'm late but how would you compare these to the superfly 7's (daybreak pack in particular)? I have a kind of narrow foot too so I'm wondering about comfort in these compared to the superflys! Thanks!

[@NoahCavanaugh]

No worries brother! In my experience I’d say your best bet is sticking with the superfly’s! Objectively they’re better boots, and they’re much more suited for narrow footed players 💪🏼

[@LinLi-hi1zj]

my favorite boots is magista.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Which one mate? My favorite is the 1st generation!

[@darianmccandless2322]

I have a bit of room like a thumb or half a thumbs worth in my usual size 10.5. Mostly in the toe area on the lateral side of the toe box. Do you think I could get away going with a half a size down? I know you mentioned yours were too tight doing that. I do wear a 10.5 in phantom venom elites though but I can move my toes around pretty good in those

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I'd say go down half a size! In my new review of the high cut (DF) version of these that came out last week, I talked about how I would probably be okay going 1/2 size down to an 8.5us. I think you'd be just fine going to a 10 mate!

[@darianmccandless2322]

@@NoahCavanaugh I bought a pair in a 10 and when they broke in a bit they got wider and I was able to slide my foot a little bit in the end. Would 9.5 even be okay? Going down a full size

[@ng_fishing]

What’s the difference between these and the dynamic fit version? The dynamic fit version is 25$ more but are on sale for 120

[@NoahCavanaugh]

There is absolutely no differences between this boot and the DF version except for an inch or so of extra material around the ankle! They’re the same boot!! 💪🏼 if you don’t mind the collar, $120 sounds like a great deal!

[@heshamfarag32]

my favorite boots would by far have to be the nike phantom visions, such a solid boot with great overall fitting and the quad fit system is really good. do you have any experience with the first gen phantom vision elites? if so, are they better or worse than the phantom gt?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Agreed mate!! They were a great pair of boots... I don't have any experience with any of the phantom visions unfortunately, I never got to try them on! I've heard people say they like the GTs better overall though!

[@heshamfarag32]

@@NoahCavanaugh thanks for the response! whenever you have the chance you should definitely give the phantom visions a shot cause they’re a really good boot and they offer a snug fit and they’re fairly light too. they also have conical studs as well as bladed studs just like the phantom gt’s.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

@@heshamfarag32 Sounds good mate! Unfortunately they might be a bit tough to get a hold of because Nike doesn't produce them anymore, but perhaps I can find a pair that are reselling online!

[@alvisonsanasam08]

My dream boots but not this colour !!😂😂 Love from India 👍👍🔥

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Fantastic brother! What colorway do you prefer? 🤩

[@bigsteppa814]

Should I get these or the vapor 14s, I’m a LW and I usually beat defenders by running around them, and I’m not sure if the lack of lockdown in the phantoms will hinder me at all, what are your thoughts

[@Allan-px6ws]

Depends on your feet and play style if you like speed more and have slick feet than vapors but if you have wider feet and like more controlled play style than the gts

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I would agree with Allan, although I would just say that fit is the MOST important thing. The GTs fit a bit wider than the vapors, so just make sure that if you do have slim feet and you get the GTs, you get the perfect size length wise! You can also help with the slippage by wearing grip socks, which will help with any boot you wear.

[@jonasmartinez7541]

Hey I am thinking about trying these. I have a wide foot with a decent arch and I'm really wondering how you think these would suit me, if not do you know another boot that would do me well? Thanks, and great video! 👍🏼

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I think if you've got a wide foot, these might be really good! They're a pretty good pair of boots! My other recommendations would be the Puma Ultra, the Adidas Predator, or the Tiempos!

[@jonasmartinez7541]

Aye, you're the man. Appreciate it👏🏼

[@jonasmartinez7541]

For the predator suggestion would you suggest the 20+ or the .1's? High or low?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

@@jonasmartinez7541 For me, the first question is do you want a laceless boot? If yes, go with the 20+! If not, my personal preference is the .1 low!

[@jonathana7152]

I got the phantom gt academy they fit a lil tight how long does it take to break in

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Depending on the shoe, usually anywhere between 3-6 hours of wear in time for me!

[@TonyMPS3]

I have gt scorpion edition

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Those are very cool looking mate!

[@samuelmekhail5089]

I just bought these boots in both a size 11.5 (TTS) and a size 12 and for some reason, the 11.5 is really tight but the 12s have a little too much toe room so I'm curious what would your recommendation be and how much will these stretch when I break them in?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

They should stretch to fit your foot! If the toe room is good, the width should stretch well! I'd recommend to give them at least 3-5 hours of proper wear time before they'll feel more natural on feet.

[@oliverkean1018]

These compared to the newest mercurials?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Depends on your foot type and shape! I like the Mercurials better, but the GTs are a great pair of football boots on their own.

[@rextyy9572]

How do these compare to the Phantom Venoms

[@NoahCavanaugh]

They're a more sock-like fit, but the phantom venoms have more lockdown in my opinion and a better shooting area! These also fit 1/4 size longer than the venoms.

[@gixi430]

Hey bro I have 3 question if you don't mind...That gt technology can deteriorate over time? how comfortable are they?and is a big difference between elite and pro?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Of course brother! 1) From what I understand, the GT tech is built into the upper, so you probably wouldn't see it deteriorating at all! 2) I know a lot of people who really like them! I find them to fit my foot pretty well, but didn't feel like they were the perfect fit! They're basically a vapor for wider foot types 👍🏼. 3) I've not tried the pro variation, but aside from maybe the tiempos, there's usually a pretty big jump between the pro variation and the elite variation within Nike's lineup!

[@gixi430]

That's a great question mate, I did a review on the high cut variation as well, and didn't find any difference between the low and high cut. I didn't get a chance to actually train in the high cut, but I don't think they'll be any different to the low cut!

Usually a brand new boot takes anywhere between 2-10 hours of break in time. That's assuming you got the right size for your foot! If that's the case, you've taken the time to try and break them in, and they STILL are giving you blisters, you might consider a different pair of boots!
