The Best Mizuno Cleats! | Mizuno Morelia 2 Made in Japan FULL REVIEW!

Today, we find out why Charles thinks that the Mizuno Morelia II is the best, and only bot you should ever have to buy from Mizuno! Is it the very soft, K-leather upper? The Classic feel it gives off when you lace it up? Or is it that hand made boots made in Japan are just built (literally) different? Find out why, and enjoy the review!

Don’t forget to leave a like!

[@absolutist.]

It's the best footballing boots I've worn, period. For me, these are better than the Tiempo Legends, Copa Mundial, Asics X-Fly, etc. The touch on that upper is almost magical, the studs are well balanced, the fit is snug but comfortable. Love these.

[@ryancheolyeongjeong5895]

I have the same ones and totally agree with you.

[@davidruddell]

A great option I found was to buy these MIJ boots off of eBay resellers in Japan. There are a lot of vendors who have sold many of these boots with tons of great reviews and I was able to get some for just under $200 USD with free shipping from Japan!

[@chanchaniceman]

The Mizuno morelia 2 be it MIJ or Elite are just boots I can honestly wear all year. They are definitely in my top 4 favorite boots of all time up there with the legend 5,adipure 4 and predator absolutes. You describe it well on how well these boots are made. Had a pair since 2020 and it still goes well even tho I had multiple rotational pair,the morelia still is in my bag all these years. Just got a replacement already with another Morelia 2 lol

[@haltsboots]

Your top choices are all valid as well. Glad to know they will last for a long time!

[@BootWizard]

lovely stuff again.

[@haltsboots]

🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@3meir]

i play on turf too, your review is very useful , because of it i'm not returning my Mizuno Morelia 2 Elite

[@andressantos4857]

Hey, could you do the review of adidas copa gloro in?

[@C_Suarez]

You’re right about the laces. Mine feel pretty short too. I have this exact same boot

[@haltsboots]

Glad I’m not the only one!

[@m.mazzei]

The laces for the Mizunos are a bit weird. There’s two lengths that I know of. 120cm and 130cm and it’s based on your size. There’s a small window where it’s weird length for some sizes because stock the laces only have two lengths. You might have the 120s stock when you might have been better off at 130. You can buy replacement Morelia laces in Japan. Japanese feet are different. My size 8US is always available in Japan because it’s at the large end of the stock in store. My insole replacement size for my 8s are considered size L. Most boots, and even some non-MIJ Neos, in size 8 and up are often on last size ale in-store. I noticed lots of boots will be missing sizes 5.5-6.5 on the box stacks.

[@jair.g1217]

Will you be reviewing the copa pure 2+ ?

[@haltsboots]

At some point yes! Just have sooo many pairs to go through right now!

[@nathanielhope6696]

I think you would like the heel of the ASICS x fly 5

[@haltsboots]

A boot on the list, but I want better colors lol

[@derbyyank13]

Pricing in the US is ridiculous. They need to lower the price overseas. Love the Morelia, fantastic pair of boots. Awesome review!

[@haltsboots]

Thank you!

[@rousseau327]

I buy mine on ebay from resellers in Japan/Korea. It's still more expensive than buying it in Asia, but they come out to around $215-$220 pre tax. Maybe $20-$30 more if you're buying special color ways when they release. Imo, still a great deal given the quality compared to similarly priced boots from the big brands.

[@derbyyank13]

@@rousseau327 Yeah, ebay is always there. I live in Japan so I don't have to worry about prices as much. Still, they have gone up here. And I still do wish they were more affordable outside of Japan.

[@haltsboots]

@@rousseau327 where I’m looking to get my ASICS boots from haha

[@m.mazzei]

Morelia $144 in Japan. ASICS X-fly is the same price. I have the ASICS DS Light Pro AG for old turf. The ASICS AG outsole is sick but I’ve only ever seen them in the DS Light Pro. They’re ¥14,000, or about $99, for kangaroo leather AG boots.

[@Alecbassindale--]

What's the sizing like on these...would you go up or down half a size or are they a good fit? I wear an 8.5uk

[@haltsboots]

Watch the review mate I cover this 👍🏻

[@Alecbassindale--]

@@haltsboots cheers mate will download and listen to it now 👏

[@yassineyacoubi5061]

I just bought these in half a size down, the material is great but like you said my toes are pushing at the top ? How much hours would you say it should take for me to be sure it’s not the right fit ? Thanks

[@haltsboots]

I talk about this in the video a little bit, I wear my boots 10-12 hours

[@m.mazzei]

There’s a Morelia shoe tree that kinda does that work for you, but any shoe tree will work. The Morelia one just looks cool in the boot. They also sell a leather stretching oil at the Mizuno flagship store in Osaka. Never tried it. I always get my size and it just stretches less, which helps keep them longer. Had an old pair from the 90s (they were heavy back then) that lasted throughout middle school and into high school. Never broke. Left them in a friends car that got stolen.

[@omenekun2247]

My foots are wide, Can you recommend me between Mizuno Morelia 2 or Mizuno Morelia beta?

[@haltsboots]

I liked the Morelia 2 more

[@m.mazzei]

Betas won’t stretch in the mid foot.

[@reddevilsunited_2060]

I think u will love the Mizuno Morelia DNAs even more. Basically a fusion of the Morelia 2's supreme K leather upper and Morelia Neo 3's soleplate. So basically a combo of K leather comfort and in game performance.

[@haltsboots]

I’m gonna add those to the list!

[@m.mazzei]

Ignitus Wave was my favorite but they don’t make ‘em anymore. DNAs are cool if you can find them. Think it was a World Cup release in blue that I wanted to get but I wasn’t able to.

[@GoodWillRacing]

The rear studs were one of my biggest concerns but it seems every reviewer states they are fine. Ordered these for my bday and will be arriving soon, can’t wait! 🤌🏼

[@haltsboots]

Such a good boot!

[@m.mazzei]

Wore Morelias since 95 because they were cheaper than any good boot in asia - and they weren’t as good back then. Copas and Specialis were too expensive for a kid. Diadora Brazil and Lottos weren’t available in my area. Never once noticed the rear studs were that far up. Found out in this video.

[@m.mazzei]

It’s not $320 because it’s handmade or because the material. I buy my MIJs in Japan to avoid the tariff. It’s ¥20,000, which is ~$144 in a store in Japan. Another reason to get them in Japan is because they sell accessories connected to the boot. There’s three different Morelia insoles - regular ones, Zeroglide, and comfort. They have a four-step care system. There’s two options of the care system - the original and the new formula. The original has scentless and a lemongrass option. The new formula costs a little more; kinda like an MIJ of care system. There’s two lace options. Zeroglide and classic. Classic has white, red, or black which have Morelia printed in the aglet. Zeroglide has like 10+ options which have Zeroglide printed on the aglet. There’s a Morelia shoe tree. Think that’s all I remember. Same shoe tree and laces option for the Neo series.

[@j.f.5374]

$144 is a good price, no where to order shoes at that price online?

[@m.mazzei]

@@j.f.5374 gotta grab em in store e in Japan. Or Singapore I’ve heard.

[@marek_2578]

Are the elites (non MIJ) still that good? I found them for 100

[@haltsboots]

I explain how good they are I’m the review lol

[@Japan45643]

​@@haltsbootshe's asking about the cheaper made in Indonesia version, your review is on the mij model

[@similingun7985]

USD 320? wow that's crazy. In Japan this is sold at the same price as the Horenso. I still prefer the horenso though as this one is slightly more narrow

[@haltsboots]

Yeah usa is wild pricing 🙃

[@kennethtoh]

Try spheart bro they ship from Japan it's $180

[@jabrur]

whats spheart?@@kennethtoh

[@TSUNSBUMMYBURNER]

[@reddevilsunited_2060]

So the 11pro 3s arent ur favs anymore then ?

[@haltsboots]

No they still are

[@hendrasantoso4925]

Morelia 2 japan or morelia neo 4 japan? What is the difference?

[@haltsboots]

Morelia 2 is a more classic leather boot, neo iV is a speed boot

[@JoaoPalhinha9]

Is it hard to get K-leather boots in California?

[@haltsboots]

Couldn’t tell ya

[@GoodWillRacing]

eBay is your best friend to get k-leather in Commiefornia

[@feederchua]

So... These or the 11 pro 3 👀

[@haltsboots]

Settle down settle down. It’s obviously the 11pro 3

[@Luminousxbs]

is this for wide foot?

[@haltsboots]

Watch the review

[@Zaxstar007]

you have to try the mizuno alpha

[@haltsboots]

Not yet! On the list for 2024!

[@matthewlawson4207]

Mizuno or Adler ?

[@haltsboots]

Both

[@Luaone]

Adler

[@m.mazzei]

Adler quality varies. You can hold different pairs of the same boot and same size in your hand and assume that two different people made them. It’s kinda cool. But also kinda frustrating I’d assume - I’ve never owned a pair.

[@kirboshib9471]

Horensos or these

[@haltsboots]

Coin flip on the day, any time I have to wear them haha

[@a1_med]

like the non popular factor of mizuno. i want people to look at them and think i got garbage on my feet lmao.

[@haltsboots]

Interesting take!

[@m.mazzei]

It’s the most popular in Japan Sunday leagues. And in most of asia you’ll see a few pairs of non-MIJs.
