I use fg on turf since Like 12 years ago

@@STR8_SAVAGE I did that from 13-18. Then I had to quit football for 1 year and have never gotten back to a competitive level.

[@daniel6242]

@@STR8_SAVAGEturf doesn’t have the give/bend that grass does. Using fg on artificial grass turd is extremely hard on your joints, tendons, and muscles. Too much traction. Specifically why AG studs/soleplates exist to the degree they do now. people used to believe that fg studs on AG was no different, but as years have gone by the science has clearly indicated that AG needs less aggressive traction on studs. ALSO, there are different types of turf. fg on artificial grass turf is still bad, but using fg on something like a more old school “carpet turf” is a fricking disaster waiting to happen. example: 90’s NFL turf and the bajillion injuries it was causing.

[@hugoadrj]

Man I really wish you did more turf reviews

[@RagingMist]

I think if you're training for a match you should wear the same shoe that you're going to wear. The number of opportunities you get in a game with the ball is much less than in a training session, so the last thing you need is for your shot or pass to be off because your boots feel different. I've only tried 2 turf shoes (the Puma King pro TT and Morelia Elite TF) and my shots are completely off when compared to AG/FG boots

[@adnotathome]

This and the copa pure II turf are gorgeous

[@pharaohsoccerp]

I have many turf shoes but whenever I decide to wear the mundials I realize why they’re so loved.

[@yovanilla]

Winter is coming, I hope there are more indoor boot reviews coming! :D

[@kevinwhitelaw6813]

Been wearing a pair of these for a few weeks now for my weekly 7 a side game on 3g turf and agree with SR4U, they're fantastic, really comfortable and great feel/touch! I'm going to disagree about the sizing though. I usually wear a UK size 8.5 or 9 depending on the shoe and for these I had to go down to a UK 8 as the 8.5 were massive. The 8s were snug to begin with but eventually stretched and are now a perfect fit

[@marysanchez2886]

This was a really good review. Thank you.

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

I love this shoe, and will always wear it, buuuuuuuuuuuut it has just 1 flaw: the raised heel and midfoot. To do stepovers, or other very hard changes of direction, they easily slip, could cause injuries in dynamic players. Again, love my pair, but they are not perfect because of that only flaw

[@badmarshall5556]

Facts

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

@@badmarshall5556 it almost breaks your own ankles its just a bit too tall 😅

[@khelgarironfist3301]

I made a similar comment. Don't like these for possible ankle sprains. Heavy, tall and rigid. Ball feel is fantastic though so it's a shame.

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

@@khelgarironfist3301 ya. Personally, for me, it happens infrequently, but any little bit is too much. I love everything else about them

[@danviv64]

I cannot understate this: I NEVER wear turfs on AG fields because I slip. However, the mundials have the most aggressive turf traction I've ever used and I can play on AG fields with them. I typically wear a 12.5 in leather cleats but I went half a size down and they've broken in just fine.

[@flakers1337]

tons of people wear those here, especially in the big cities where the AG pitches are old and worn down, you see many players in mundial teams. interesting to see they run true to size just like the world cups

[@ronanfinlay-yl6xy]

I wore these boots for the first time last night. I was super excited to try them out. I bought my true size, which had way too much room, I was slipping everywhere. They also have this weird insole insert which is super high only on the heel, almost like a high heel, which creates this uneven surface inside the boot. The lateral movements are so unsafe and dangerous I almost broke my ankle and nearly did my knee in at the same time. I'm returning these asap. Otherwise, they are super comfortable and have super grip on the indoor field

[@khamluong8071]

The fact that your first pair has lasted over a decade is testament to its design

[@khelgarironfist3301]

I don't like their lateral stability personally. Feels easy to sprain your ankles because they have a higher and very rigid heel somehow. Adore the thick leather upper though.

[@gmolina]

I agree with you... I feel completely disconnected when I wear them and the high heel feels like an accident waiting to happen. I wish this type of aggressive turf sole was available in a different design. Something more modern and lower to the ground.

[@aridinakrestiawan-xw3ek]

Ah, now I understand why it was happened to me, thanks

[@adrian9981]

My friend happens the same

[@CognizantCheddar]

The worst sprained ankle of my life was while playing in Mundial Teams. Grade 3. Also the _only_ sprained ankle of my life. Coincidence? Aside from that injury, they were fun to play small-sided footie in. Felt like the boot weight gave my shots more power.

[@aridinakrestiawan-xw3ek]

@@CognizantCheddar yes. That was also the ankle sprain ever happened to me, even I never experienced sprained ankle while I am playing basketball, a common injury in basketball.

[@mwf650]

Joe, any plans to review the New Balance 442 and Furon Turf? I think they are the top end uppers on turf soles 👀

[@TheDukeOfCastleWolf]

I need to go a full size down to wear them. Unlike the Kaiser 5, I go only half size down.

[@thehunzz]

I played on a team that did the weights thing when Cristiano was still in primary school.

[@barryfrombarnsley2790]

Boxers train in heavier gloves as well

[@arturomonjardin752]

Hello man, do you know if playing with the Adidas World Cup on an AG field would be a good idea? since they are relatively short. I would love it if you answered me

[@blackknightstv5631]

If you train in these, or similar turf boots, vs guys in FG boots, as I do on hard natural turn fields in Asia, then you're gonna be at a significant disadvantage in terms of traction that will translate in straight line speed, certainly over short distances as well as change of direction and even shooting and long range passing as your standing foot doesn't have the same traction. This sounds a major negative, yet if you can compete vs your peers with this disadvantage then when you go to your 'match day boots' you'll notice the difference. You've effectively been putting yourself through a tougher workout and have had to find ways to find space and react to the speed of the game without relying on your athleticism.

[@sahalpasha7357]

even the deportivo model turf boots are heavy asf

[@bradpittman5075]

You either love the mundial or don’t. I loooovvveeee them.

[@SEclips69]

Could you do a review on rugby boots? The adidas rs15 and compare them to the f50 for a video idea or compare in to the nike tiempos .. i would like a in depth review like the ones you do becuase there aren’t any other reviews of the boot

[@SuperTomTomx]

I wanted these for years, then when I got them (2nd hand) they always gave me horrible heel blisters, now the sole plate keeps peeling off. Even a professional shoe repairer can't fix them any better than me really disappointing. They're so good to play in until the sole plate comes off and flops around under my foot

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

Used football boots, especially leather ones, typically aren’t the best idea. Especially a pair like this, where they could literally be 15 years old. Not saying you couldn’t have a bad experience with these, but if everything is peeling and they’re falling apart, that suggests that the pair you had was pretty old.

[@SuperTomTomx]

@@Soccerreviewsforyou honoured to have a reply from the man himself But these seemed like they were pretty new - only worn a couple of times by the previous owner (barely broken in, maybe why they gave me blisters). Maybe he bought them ages before, maybe I got a bad batch. Just a bit disappointing I might go for a pair of Turf Premier IIIs next

[@CognizantCheddar]

The outsole relies wholly on glue. It will always start to disintegrate after a few years, especially if the boots get wet, especially especially if they aren't stored in a dry, cool place. Don't ever buy them used -- if you buy them used, you don't know how they've been stored. Visual appearance is irrelevant, a boot with disintegrating glue can look literally pristine, then you put it on to play and the sole literally falls off within 10 minutes.

[@wlchow919]

I definitely would. I have always likes boots that are around for a long time because they are proven.

[@vidaulvillagomez6003]

Can you do the indoor version too 🥹

[@-KooHyunMo]

Can you do nike mercurial vapor elite vs mizuno morelia neo 4 beta mij?

[@Wrench-N-Bench]

Would you go for these or the Fg variant for 3G/4G surfaces?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

These would be the better choice in terms of durability and comfort, for sure!

[@OmarHussainiROW]

@@Soccerreviewsforyou I have the Copa Mundials, are these worth replacing those for playing exclusively on turf? I DO need turf shoes so I’m questioning buying a redundant pair of shoes or going for another AG/TF shoe of your recommendation.

HOPEFULLY YOU REVIEW THE MUNDIAL TEAM “SHOES”, IN THE BROWN AND BEIGE COLORWAYS, WITH A NUBUCK UPPER

[@blackswordsman790]

Wouldnt it be cheaper to buy ankle weights indtead of a second 160$ boots

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

You couldn’t do much else besides dribbling on your own in ankle weights. You can train and do everything like normal in something like this. It all depends on what you’re trying to achieve and what you like the idea of I guess 🤷‍♂️

[@lysinho69]

Try Kipsta Viralto IV

[@davidtiembloperez7916]

You know what you are talking about, bro: Really awesome boots. Astonishing k-leather forefoot at a low price. My only concern might be their durability ( didn't try them that much yet). I really enjoy also the previous generation of King Top Turf (leather).

[@CognizantCheddar]

I have been unable to buy these In the United States, sadly. They don't ship to the US. SR4U is American, so...

[@PhilseinSchrank]

It has kangooroo leather which is a BIG plus 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Chroc]

Not any longer unfortunately. Still premium leather but not K.

Answering the final question: yes, I will. I have a pair of Predator Elite (no FT), and this is my choice for AG.

[@johnkafle7179]

Someone buy me a pair of these heaven….😭

[@solesearcha8023]

100% need more turf reviews - nobody does reviews for them! By these boots have terrible ankle stability with those high heels.

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

Given that the Mundial Team is by far my most worn turf boots, I can’t say that stability has ever been an issue for me, but I could see why some people might not love the feel of the outsole. I wouldn’t say that the heel is any more elevated than a lot of other turf boots

[@solesearcha8023]

@Soccerreviewsforyou thank you bro, love the work been watching for years! SR4U❤️

[@irvinelawrence2733]

Great trainers Sadly...and I speak for Barbados🇧🇧 and most Caribbean pitches- we play on natural turf that is either firm or soft according to rainy or sunny days... The killer downside is- most fields are marked with old ICE automobile oil, which deteriorates the rubber soles of the Copa Mundial and destroys the foam midsoles of the Mundial Team. I own a pair of the black and white reverse colour scheme- both Teams trainers have the white foam midsole🙄

[@yovanilla]

might be the first time i ever caught a video just when it dropped! The weight.... they weigh as much as my Superstars :/ (just verified)

[@devantelewis6774]

Has the quality of the copa mundial declined at all over the years Josh?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

You could debate that, but I think it’s pretty tough to say that they’re genuinely worse in a noticeable way when it comes to playing in them.

[@khelgarironfist3301]

I think yes. The last pair i bought was somehow extremely uncomfortable due to digging in ankles and was sent back. Some even claim it uses synthetic leather midfoot now.
