Part of the Japanese culture at least for soccer shoes stores, the clerks are extremely knowledgable about their products (at least the three that I've visited in Tokyo and Osaka) and work really hard to get you the shoes that fit you best rather than what looks the flashiest. That might be the reason why ergonomics are such strength of these brands.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

That's awesome mate 🔥 japan is on my bucket list to visit!

[@rontsang4308]

@@NoahCavanaugh you have to put the whole of Asia on your bucket list. Japan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and of course China. I see drones flying with packages outside of my Shenzhen China office window and I buy and pick up my McDonald's breakfast out from behind wall of class cubby holes, all app control. All business are done with your phone, literally, including paying busboy a small tip as he wears a QR code on his shoulder patch. Its a different world here.

[@JoblessJazz]

Couldn’t agree more - Kamo in Tokyo’s the best footy store I’ve been to for that exact reason!

[@Gampeh]

when I bought my mizuno 8 years ago in Japan.. he took me to the back where I could run on a small ag field and shoot ball and stuff before making a final decision. The guy even asked me what my playing style was and what position i played and stuff, then teaches me how to apply mink oil and cleaning cream.. 8 years later today im still wearing these babies

[@rontsang4308]

@@Gampeha little extra time spent with customers, essentially bonded you with their brand for life! Not a bad deal.

[@robinsonmedina8955]

Adding the boot review into a training session has to be one of the better ideas done in awhile. It kills two birds with one stone and you don’t even feel that the video is longer. Big up Noah.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I appreciate that mate! ❤️

[@tracker4854]

Man that color looks oh my dayz amazing! Thanks for taking the time to do this stuff man. Can’t wait to see footage of your first official game. Can’t wait to see which boots makes the match.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

😂 Definitely an Oh My Dayz rating! Excellent vibrancy and look

[@muhdfauzi7]

I love all your videos Noah! A big fan all the way from Singapore! You are consistent in uploading videos! I love it, god bless you!

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thank you mate! 🔥

[@AleABest]

Really like the closeup footage you can see how well the boot fits and takes the shape of the feet.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

🤝‼️

[@derbyyank13]

That's a good point about minor tweaks to boots that have been around for a while making them better. Love these drills as well, I should do them too! I do think the boots can be improved somewhat though. Also, I have that same thing where my bone sticks out on the side.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Yeah it's a weird one for sure, I reckon the materials they have could still work well for a more neutral shape and fit! That's why it's a bit hit or miss with this type of boot construction (leather forefoot, synthetic midfoot). The DS Light X Fly 5 is by FAR and away the best boot for me with that same build formula.

[@derbyyank13]

@@NoahCavanaugh I think you're right. Also agreed that the DS Light X Fly 5 is a better when it comes to this kind of boot.

[@power279]

I bought Mizuno Morelia ii(Made in Vietnam) 3 days ago..damn..for a classic boots..its so light..so soft. so good. Looking forward to buy this Morelia Neo next year. Gotta save some money 💪.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Love that mate! 🤝 Enjoy

[@Feanaro5503]

I wear two pairs of socks to help avoid getting heel blisters, and I recently started using Injinji toe socks as my light underneath pair to make sure I don't get any blisters from my toes getting pressed together. That's happened to me a couple of times when the 2nd toe on my left foot got jammed into the big toe.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Dang! I'm sorry to hear that mate, doesn't sound very comfortable

[@krishanreddy1147]

Love the content bro! Just a question with such quality upper would you classify this boot as an excellent touch and control boot as well as just being a speed boot?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Yeah, definitely 💯

[@ciripaciripa4373]

Good job pal, i subscribed

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Thanks mate!

[@33fivers]

Awesome detail review. Thanks, once again. Trying to convince my 16-year-old son to get these instead of the Nike Mercurial, but he is very stubborn. I would rather spend the money on these.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Definitely! I hope for his sake he fits in the Mercs 😅 That's not a very forgiving boot

[@khelgarironfist3301]

I got these as well and my only complaint is that i wish the studs were more aggressive for real grass fields. Even Tiempos feel more grippy for me.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Fair enough mate!

[@andrewpalmer1873]

The X.99 take is spot on, which is why it was so disappointing. If we could have the Morelia Neo on that X soleplate, I’d be so happy.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

😎 What a boot THAT would be!

[@williamarthur1491]

Hey Noah, I’ve just been looking to get a pair of tekela v4 lows as their on sale in an SG model, I have almost the exact same foot shape as you (ridiculously wide midfoot, narrow heal and slightly wide toebox). Do you think the standard fit in a half a size up from my usual size will be okay ? In the UK I can’t seem to find the wide fit anywhere. Thank you !

[@NoahCavanaugh]

As long as you're looking for FG boots mate! I'd go up 1/2 size for sure, that's what I do! 🤝

[@oliweiner3700]

Hey Noah, please can you review the new Adidas Copa Icon. Interested to see how it compares to something like a Morelia 2

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I’ll do my best! Most likely it’s a decent boot but almost nothing compares to the Morelia 2 🤝

[@reddevilsunited_2060]

The latest Preds(laced) or these for a game boot ? Also any chance of playtesting the Mizuno Morelia 2 and Mizuno Morelia DNA btw?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

The preds might be for sure, I'm not sure if these will be yet 🤝 Unsure on the Morelias! Maybe the DNA!

[@nvmghost]

Awesome man! What are your current thoughts of the gx2? Me personally I think Nike has completely confused me as they combined a boot for women and a boot for men and combined into one boot a low (phantoms) and high (Lunas) as they did with the mercurials. Also heard they’re more of a chill and loose feel but has lockdown rather than the gx. We’ll see if you’ll review them coming out in Jan. 11. Great Playtest as well!🎉

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Haven't tried them on or had them in hand yet mate, so can't say!

[@nvmghost]

@@NoahCavanaugh Heard they’ll be released this month on the 11th, I cannot wait for your thoughts 👍

Hey noah, how would go about poking a new lace hole?Any tips? 2:39 I had an idea of wanting to do it on my f50 remakes that I got laying around and maybe these cleats in the future possibly.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I'd try a knife and screw driver 😅 Just make sure you're not going to hurt yourself though!

[@mustafamohamadhaidar966]

Hey Noah, can you also make a review on the elite version of these boots not the made in Japan.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I'll do my best brother

[@salif4645]

Hi Noah! Could you help me out with sizing please. I always go half a size down in mizuno beta (as you used to do in previous generations). Would you recommend me going half a size down in skechers razor as well? 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@NoahCavanaugh]

I would go with the same size if you've worn the previous generation of these. Go true to size with the Razor

[@TommyLa1299]

I’m looking at getting the black and gold version if these. I am usually a size US 8 and have a narrow foot, what size would you recommend I go for as I won’t be able to try them on? Also do you know if there are any new boot drops coming soon from mizuno? Thanks for the review! Great video! 😄😄

[@NoahCavanaugh]

A class colorway! I'd probably go 1/2 size down if you have thinner feet mate 🤝 New colorways dropping now!

I just bought the betas in the launch colorway and the fit decent except the ankle flares out a lot on the lateral sides of the boots. Should I keep them or return them?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Fair enough mate! If they fit you okay, then it’s up to you to decide whether the bowing around the ankle bothers you!

[@fash1976]

Yep! I wear them on AG and so far so good!

[@zhihuipeng4750]

Ok thanks!@@NoahCavanaugh

[@bomiesunathehuskies5063]

i have both elite and MIJ and actually i would recommend be cautious with your elite to use on turf. they are quite different built quality imo. my MIJ has no issues except for the lil toe leather comes off (skin wise) but the right pair of elite already got apart on the side upper, toe box area. The left pair seems well made. The right pair already seemed sluggish when I got them for the first time and I was not wrong in the end.😅

[@antoniogonzalez6296]

would you recommend true to size for these boots. Current boots and my normal size is a 9

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Yes, exactly 👍🏼

[@jameslemery7100]

how is the protection on the upper? I always feel more comfortable knowing that leather is over my foot, but im curious because the boot is so light, if it protects the foot as strongly in comparison to other leather pairs.

[@NoahCavanaugh]

It’s not very protective, but that’s football mate! You’ll get kicked sometimes

@@NoahCavanaughare the studs (especially in the heel) shorter than the ASICS DS X Fly 5 Ltd?

So wondering if these are slightly shorter studs and safer

Hey Noah. I have a 11 boy called Noah too and he is playing soccer . Would you recommend the Mizuno Morelia Neo 4 Beta Made In Japan for Artificial Grass ?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

That's fantastic! As long as they fit his feet, then these will be just fine for AG. At 11 years old though, I think it's probably better to go for the Elite model or the TF/AG model while he's still growing.

[@aprilfreeman3483]

I know you've recommended other mizzunos as well which Japanese version is your favorite as a wide foot player?

[@NoahCavanaugh]

Probably Morelia 2 or Morelia Neo 4
