These are the comfiest boots I’ve owned in a long while. They are so smart, I love the addition of the grippy texture on the boot. These are the first boots I’ve had in a long while that I haven’t really had to wear in, I have worn them for 3 sessions now and I haven’t had any issues with blisters etc. I would totally recommend.

Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite
FG Low-Top Football Boot
Obsessed with speed? So are the game's biggest stars. That's why we made this Elite boot with an improved 3/4-length Air Zoom unit. It gives you and the sport's fastest players the propulsive feel needed to break through the back line. The result is the most responsive Mercurial we've ever made, because you demand greatness from yourself and your footwear.

Fast traction
The wave-like traction pattern works with the Air Zoom unit to unlock your blazing speed. It takes up more surface area of the Air Zoom unit compared with the Vapor 15 while providing the right amount of grip. It combines with chevron and blade studs to help you stop when making cuts.
Exceptional touch
Nike Gripknit, a sticky material that provides exceptional touch to the ball, gives you the control you need when dribbling at high speeds. It provides equal grip in wet or dry conditions.
Snug fit
The Flyknit upper, engineered for the game's fastest players, provides a sock-like fit. It is combined with Gripknit to form the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, bringing you closer to the ball and shortening break-in time.

the only 2 things I don’t like about this cleats is the studs, I can’t turn around and dribble the ball easy like the vapor 15 elites, the lock down was not that good also
