It will be tight fit but the entire boot, including the thick TOUCHPODS, softens up within minutes and I found them to be pretty comfortable.

Its classy design is definitely fitting for the likes of their sponsored playmakers like Paolo Dybala and Joao Felix. Leather is the footballing boot equivalent of vinyl – old tech that may have lost its popularity but still harnesses a cult-like fan base that swears by its eternal qualities.On paper, that is what all leather boots strive to do as they all provide an elegant and cushioned touch on the ball. I’d say go true to size as the length and width are just perfect for someone with moderate width feet. This explains why adidas still produces the adidas Copa Mundial, one of the legendary leather boots from the 70s.

Despite the simple tongue, the narrower midfoot means that you’d have to loosen up your laces quite a bit to slip your foot in. The German boot makers have actually been quite active in developing cushioned pods around the heels for their other football boots but I think with these SENSEPODS, they have perfected the placement and volume of the pods. I was generally ok with the burrito tongue though I’m glad that adidas switched it out for a simpler, regular tongue construction.The dampening pods also ensure it takes the sting out of tackles or a hard strike though I did wish I had a slightly closer feel of the ball when dribbling. adidas’ approach to this is somewhat different and can be seen in these 3 features – TOUCHPODS, SENSEPODS and SOFTSTUDS.
