1 MONTH REVIEW | Asics DS Light X Fly Pro 2

[@derbyyank13]

Yessssssssssss! I had been waiting for this one! Love it! Haha my dream is to make every talk about the heel area on every boot! And hopefully every brand can learn from ASICS. Always appreciate the shout out! My favourite ASICS boots, top notch for me.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Definitely a problem area for most brands!! 🔥

Awesome review 👌🏼 do you think the synthetic leather on the x-fly 5 SEs will stretch similarly to Asics k-leather? My toes are a bit squished with the SEs, not to the point that it's uncomfortable while playing, but I would prefer a bit more room. Should I just go with the regular K-leather upper? Or is there another boot that is similar but with a more anatomical toe area?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I'm glad you enjoyed it mate! They stretch almost identically - but a little LESS than the normal leather model. The other alternative is the Neo 4 MIJ from Mizuno - also really good in the toe area

[@efrenvargas5818]

Thanks mate 🙏🏽

[@theelazynick]

love your videos noah! super excited for the morelia neo 4 non beta 1 month review, mine just came in yesterday.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thanks mate! Coming soon

[@duaneswaby622]

Nice review Noah! I have the first gen of these, I also found the fit a bit awkward at first. Some neetsfoot oil on the leather helped to soften it up though, and that I found sped up the break in time.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thanks mate! Great shout on the oil - will have to look into that

[@malikmellal9221]

I bought the DS X fly 5 and omg. I always get hot spots and blisters on my heels. But with these, nothing. And for a leather boot, they're amazing. Literally the full package and dont think I will switch as they have everything I want in a boot

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Love to hear that mate!!! Stoked 🔥

[@DeanDeano123]

Cheers for the reviews . The bad part is when you have to order from Japan/ebay to UK and pay import tax 😂 Now tried a X Fly 5 and X Fly pro 2 . Went half a size down on the Pro 2 and fits/feels better for me 👍

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Love that 👍

[@fabibi33]

hey man! i bought these because I heard you say so many good things about asics and i absolutely love these boots, but unfortunately for some reason I keep getting blisters on both my heels and I have been getting shin splints and problems with my legs. Any tips for minimising the blisters and treating shin splints? I really love the boots and your reviews! keep it up!

[@NoahCavanaugh]

As long as you have the correct size, it should be fine! That being said, if you continue having them, they may just not be the right shape for your foot!

[@schnee35]

I surprisingly got a blister on my outer left heel and a hot spot on right. I went half a size down from usual and they fit perfectly. The blister issue also happened when using the runners loop.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Bummer mate! Sorry to hear that. Maybe just not the right heel fit for you

[@m9tteo676]

I just got morelia neo 4 betas for 200 (because I couldn't find them for cheaper) and I am experiencing major arch pain in both feet. I know it's most likely a break in issue that my feet will get used to, but recently I have been drawn to the x fly pro 2 or x fly 5 (which are both much cheaper). I saw your review saying the durability on the x fly 5 was very poor so am looking into these. How would you say they would keep up with daily use on AG/FG?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Nice mate, those are class boots! Sorry to hear about the arch pain, I'm not surprised with the Mizuno boots though, as those have a bit more arch support than other boot brands - might just take some getting used to! I think it was just that particular colorway of the DS Light X Fly 5 - the blue ones I have now have been great all around

[@m9tteo676]

@@NoahCavanaugh I'm curious, do you think that the white colourway for the x fly 5s will always have poor durability, or do you think you may have gotten a faulty pair?

[@pumpedUPpimple]

Hey there, greetings from Germany! I am currently using Morelia 2s, and while I absolutely love how they feel on the ball they're sadly a little too narrow on my toes. Can you recommend a pair of boots that I could try instead? I prefer my shoes low cut for maximum ankle mobility and I wouldn't wanna go for Nikes as I had quality issues with that brand in the past. Other than that, things like material etc don't matter that much to me as long as they actually fit 😅

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I'd go for the Morelia Neo 4 MIJ mate

[@pumpedUPpimple]

@@NoahCavanaugh Greatly appreciate it mate! I'll make sure to try them out

[@awdawdawdawdawdawful]

Did you ever release a review for the synthetic version of these?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I didn't, nope!

[@awdawdawdawdawdawful]

@@NoahCavanaugh well I'd be keen to watch that if you are

[@ypjc1522]

just as i am thinking about which FG boots i should get (Asics x fly 5, Predator Elite, F50 Elite).. Currently own Mizuno Neo 4 Pro AG. X fly 5 and X Fly Pro 2 look similar, I wondered if this is an upgraded version of X fly 5.. Do you keep a list of your boots rating? Love your videos!

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Boot ratings will be coming out later mate! I don't have a full list of stuff, no

[@wyw9090]

It's supposed to be an upgrade from X-Fly5 but somepople loves X-fly 5 better. I think it won't go wrong either way.

[@achmadyusril5699]

so noah, im planning to buy a pair and after watching your videos i still not sure which one i should buy between mizuno morelia II, morelia neo 4 (non beta), asics ds light x fly 5 or ds light x fly pro 2. what im looking for is just the most comfortable one, can you give me an advice which one i should pick between that for shoes? thanks mate

[@NoahCavanaugh]

The most comfortable is the Morelia 2

[@joshuaarias3179]

What are your top 5 boots?

[@dsanchez9703]

Yea, do your current top 5 boots of alltime update bro!🤜🤛

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Will be doing those videos soon!

[@dsanchez9703]

Cool​@@NoahCavanaugh

[@rossimessi1]

Have you tried a wide fit 2E of any Asics boots? Do you know if the wide 2E fit versions have a wider sole plate than the standard fit? Or is the extra width just in the upper material? You could hold the wide fit sole plate against the standard and see if the studs line up or not? Thank You for your help.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Definitely keen to, I haven't yet! Looking forward to testing some out

[@rossimessi1]

@@NoahCavanaugh Cool, you could try the ASICS DS Light Pro Wide. That's what I have. I like the wide sole plate. But wandering if it is the same on the standard fit boots like the x fly 5. As I don't think there is a wide version for the fly 5? Look forward to your review. Thanks Noah.

[@devantelewis6774]

Maybe you could do a training session with joner football from Australia and then talk about the boots you had on feet after the session

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Maybe!

[@Sweedo]

Where can you get these asic boots?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

@tokyofootball.sg on IG or on Ebay

[@kennethtoh]

Honestly when I buy them in Japan, the sales guy from soccer kamo told me x fly pro 2 is supposed to be the Pinnacle of the Asic line as I was contemplating between x fly 5 vs x fly pro 2. And also on the half size down, I tried half size down too and it feels like my toes are right up the tip of the upper and my toes are smush too but the guy convinced me to go true to size and I am very happy I did that. It's by far one of the best cleats I ever had but I do agree performance wise it might lose a bit to the neo Morelia 4. Anyway, what I was trying to say is that you should try x fly pro 2 with true to size. The experience would be much better I feel

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Love to hear it mate! Enjoy 🔥

[@idontedit-u9n]

Are they wide?

[@idontedit-u9n]

Also, is the ds light 5 wider than the ds light x fly 2 pro2?

[@idontedit-u9n]

Is the ds light 5 wide?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

X Fly 5 is wider mate

[@yoonhyeOh-m6l]

Are the X flight 5 wider than Mizuno morelia 4 elite?

[@Luaone]

@@yoonhyeOh-m6lyes

[@張厚寰]

Is the soleplate of DS Light X-Fly 5 more suitable for AG surface than the X Fly Pro2 due to the soleplate of Pro model is longer/more aggressive?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

mmm nah, they're about the same mate 🤝

[@axelhakansson5979]

This or the x-fly 5 seem amazing, but I cant seem to find them in Euro size 47/46 anywhere.

I don't know if they make sizing that big!
