Great fit, true to size, feel great. I’m really happy with these shoes and quality and I think I’ll upgrading to the more elite models later.
Great turf shoe!

Athlete loves it. They play on turf or AG a lot and she wears this solely. No traction problems. Likes the narrow fit—“fits like a glove”. We have the FG version as well.
