The Pro:Direct Soccer Blog is for anyone who notices the football boots before the whistle goes.
From the latest releases to the pairs already earning a place in the Bootroom, we get properly into fit, feel, touch, lockdown, soleplates and surface choice. Our football boot reviews cover Nike, adidas, PUMA, New Balance, Mizuno, Skechers, Reebok, Diadora and more, with clear judgement on who each boot suits and where the trade-offs are.
Choosing a new pair? Our football boot guides are built around the questions players actually ask. Compare Mercurial, Predator, F50, Phantom and Tiempo, explore speed football boots, or work out whether you need FG football boots, SG or AG before choosing your next pair.
There is plenty beyond boots. Follow new football kit releases, shirt drops, goalkeeper gloves, limited editions, collaborations and the boot packs that turn up around the biggest tournaments. We also go deeper into football boot history, player boot spots and the silos that have shaped the game, from Hypervenom and classic Predators to CR7 Mercurials and Messi F50s.
Some stories are there to help you choose your next pair. Others are for the people who remember an old colourway from twenty years ago, know exactly which Predator generation they preferred and still look at a player's feet during the walkout.
Browse the Pro:Direct Soccer Blog for football boot reviews, new football boots, buying guides, football kit news and stories from across boot culture.
