Nike Phantom 6 Low Pro

Simply put, an awesome pair of turf shoes. Living in NYC, it's hard to find grass to play on -- turf is usually the move. While you can technically wear full studs on turf, wearing actually turf shoes is a game changer. The turf stud pattern is great -- digs into the turf well and provides great traction. Love the varying shapes of the rubber nubs. Also love the color scheme -- almost blacked out, but still have a pop of color without going crazy (been getting tired of all the neon and bright colorways). The Flyknit is super comfortable and pretty easy to put on and off. The skin of the forefoot is excellent as well -- allows for a clean strike of the ball and just overall provides good ball control. Really like the off-center lacing system as well ; straightforward, secures my feet well, and stays out of the way of where the ball will hit your foot the most. For sizing, I would say it's probably true-to-size with a slight lean to being a half-size too small. You definitely want a snug fit (as all soccer players know), but if you sometimes wear, for example, a 9 and a 9.5, I might try the 9.5 ; using the same example, if you're always a 9, sometimes an 8.5, and never a 9.5, just stick with 9 (your true to size). I wouldn't double sock or anything like that. Overall, really love this shoe. It's a good price point too I think and it really feels quality. Grab them!

These cleats are worth a try. The softer feel of the cleats add comfort without sacrificing any grip. They flex well, breathe well, look sleek, and stretch without losing support. The sock type fit is comfortable with no rubbing along the ankles. They lace evenly, and there’s no tongue, so you don’t have to worry about it shifting as you run/walk. The lightweight outer shoe cushions just enough when really connecting hard with a ball. These are comfortable enough to wear walking around a bit in between playing as well, but I worry about the durability of the cleats since they seem so much softer, but I could be wrong. Only time will tell. These cleats also handle fast direction changes without slippage, sliding, or major pressure in more sensitive areas of my feet. I have plantar fasciitis, and it didn’t seem to act up after wearing these like it has with harder plastic cleats. I hope these continue to be my favorite soccer cleat, because I don’t know how I survived without them now. The down side is that I wish they had a slightly larger toe box than they have. The ReactX Phantom 6 Low Pro quickly reminded me of rock climbing shoes due to the constriction I felt on my toes. I feel like these run smaller than Nike normally runs. And that was why they got 4 stars instead of 5. I didn’t suffer too badly though because of the slight give to the outer shoe, and was surprised that my feet weren’t more sore after playing for 45 minutes straight. Maybe it was the flexible sole, or the fact that I was on turf, but I typically notice more fatigue when I play straight through.

These phantoms were fantastic, the studs pattern on the bottom is phenomenal. I tend to play on turf and never tried that stud pattern before and they were perfect for the surface. Besides the studs phantoms are my favorite Nike cleats so overall the feel is great they fit perfect and the touch on the ball is very good . This boot really changed my opinion on the surf pattern definitely something I’d recommend to wear if playing on turf.
