Nike Phantom 6 Low Elite

I love the design of these soccer cleats, but I’m struggling with their fit and feel, so overall I can only say that I like them even though I wanted to love them. I love the sock like design because it’s very cushioned and comfortable around the ankle. I also love the Gripknit material on the upper because I feel its really helps with ball handling and control by providing that extra grip and traction for accuracy. Last, but not least, I love that the cleats are lightweight, it almost feels like you aren’t wearing them. However, what I’m struggling with is the fit and the feel of the cleats, which makes loving them and wearing them for long periods rather difficult. First, they run small - I’m a size 7.5 women/6 men and I think I would need to size up one whole shoe size for these to fit properly since they are too snug in the toe box. Second, they run narrow - my feet are on the wider side so these are only comfortable for me to wear for short periods. I have the soft ground version of these cleats, which I use exclusively for training since my club doesn’t allow metal spikes, so I can say they are a solid training cleat but can’t speak to actual game play. Again, I love the design of these cleats, just wish they were true to size and perhaps offered a wide version.

The fit is snug and performance-oriented, wrapping the foot.well. Out of the box, they're fairly comfortable with only.minimal break-in time. The downside is the soleplate: the center of the bottom feels unsupported, almost as if it bends downward under pressure. That dip in the mid-foot reduces stability and can feel awkward when sprinting or planting. The design is sharp and modern, with clean detailing. The layout of the studs provides good traction on soft ground, and the cleats look every bit the top-tier boot. They're lightweight and offer a nice controlled touch on the ball. It feels premium and performs well in both wet and dry conditions. Touch and ball control are excellent, and the SG-Pro stud pattern makes quick turns and cuts easier. The boots are stylish, and the snug fit makes them feel connected to your foot. The biggest issue is the.lack of mid foot support in the soul. Instead of holding firm, it tends to bend downward, taking away from.confjde ce and stability when running. A stiffer more reinforced center would make a huge difference.

My husband received this shoe and was actually quite surprised by the performance on this specific cleat. We grew up as big time soccer families and we really have been around the block when it comes to sports wear. This shoe is extremely lightweight, comfy for long periods of time and very breathable. My husband suffers from a past ankle injury and these didn’t hurt him or make him feel sore one bit. We really appreciate that when you receive this cleat it came with the perfect travel bag and tools to be able to take care of the cleats and extra pieces. Really feels like Nike cares for a long lasting product for us to use and these were made to last a bit. We’re very happy with this soccer cleat and look forward to kicking the ball around and being comfortable while coaching our kids in their youth soccer program. Also the color was absolutely killing it, we loved the blue black look.
