These boots are ok. It is the second pair I have bought. The first pair only lasted 12 months (about 40 games). I had to buy size 11 (I'm size 10 in shoes) as they come up small and, even so, the tongue isn't wide enough, leaving a gap across the top under the laces. It seems to be the thing now with Adidas that everything is made small. That said I bought them again rather than risking a different boot.

I purchased this thinking it was an "elite" version of the boot. but most definitely is not the same as other elite boots. no fusionskin on these bad boys.
