The reason why I say beauty is pain is because they look so good and everyone gave me compliments even my coaches but when I first ran in these they got the back of my foot bleeding so much I couldn’t even run but I still did anyways they were bleeding non stop and when it healed and I wore them again same thing happened until I started bending the back of the cleat until it was broken into. But overall, looks 5/5 stars, comfort 3/5. Keep in mind that this might not happen to you so go ahead and buy it if you like them it might have been because the size was small? Or a bit big not sure just make sure to tighten them when you wear them and break into them.

Awesome cleats. My Mercurial Superfly’s finally gave in. Was a little hesitant to move order more cost friendly cleats but wow. These are quality, comfortable and just awesome overall. Would recommend to anyone. Love the color ways as well, I’ve gotten plenty of compliments. Ordered a half size up, perfect fit.

My son needed a new pair of boots for rugby and soccer cleats work great, especially when you are a goal kicker. My son has wider feet and these Nikes work great for him. In fact, he made his first conversion kick this past weekend! And of course, we always love shopping at Dicks.

Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 15 Academy FG/MG Soccer CleatWhen it comes to choosing a soccer cleat, fit and feel is one of the most important considerations for me because I’m almost forty years old and can’t play as long as I used to when I get on the field to train or for pick-up games. Therefore, I need a shoe that has a short break-in period. The soles of these cleats are a bit stiffer than the more premium models of Nike Mercurials, and I felt the cleats took a while to break in. But once the materials began to mold to the shape of my foot, they felt very comfortable. The curve of the two box is symmetrical but if it were more angular to give some more room for the ‘big’ toe it would have been perfect!I can tell the Nike team put a lot of new tech into ...

Therefore, I need a shoe that has a short break-in period. The soles of these cleats are a bit stiffer than the more premium models of Nike Mercurials, and I felt the cleats took a while to break in. But once the materials began to mold to the shape of my foot, they felt very comfortable. The curve of the two box is symmetrical but if it were more angular to give some more room for the ‘big’ toe it would have been perfect!I can tell the Nike team put a lot of new tech into this model. But this is not apparent just by looking at the shoe. The overall shape of the shoe is very similar to previous models, and I have noticed that a lot of the features are hidden by the colorway.As an entry-level soccer cleat, I think it is very comfortable after about one week of wear. I trained an average of 1.5 to 2 hours for six days, and even though they were a bit uncomfortable right out of the box by day 6, I could have gone a lot longer than 2 hours. I think they would hold to a rigorous practice session, but I have not been able to wear them long enough to say they can be comfortable for an entire day.I loved the overall look of the cleat. I think the colors they used make it stand out from the other models in the Mercurial line. The sown-down tongue is a plus, and I think the use of the soft material at the top of the tongue was a great idea. When I lace up, it helps give the boot a great lock-down feel. The only thing I would change is the material they used on the outside. I have played in dry and wet conditions, and although the cleat feels very grippy on the surface of the ball during dry conditions. However, when I played on wet grass, the cleats slipped under the ball a lot, making it difficult to maintain that spin on the ball.At that price point, the cleat is a great daily driver. It has the comfort and fit of a premium shoe and the versatility to match. If the break-in time was a bit quicker, it could easily be a number one pick.
My teen plays a lot of soccer—these lasted 4 months before they came apart at the seams. They split off from the sole. Spikes themselves are fine but the shoe fell apart. My experience with Nike is that they all run small.
These soccer boots are sleek, lightweight, and comfortable. I love the lemonade color! I would recommend getting a half size bigger than what you usually wear. I’m usually a size 10 and a 10.5 fit perfectly. Joga Bonito my friends! ⚽️
I wasn’t necessarily looking forward to breaking them in for the first time. I’ve endured plenty of stiff soleplates and tight midfoots to know that the Mercurial has always been geared toward a slightly narrower foot type than mine. So, my initial plan was to ease them into play over an extended time. I planned to wear them around at home, take them to my office and wear them around there, then break them in slowly during some practices. That was the plan. Ease them in, loosen them up, stretch them a bit, then give them a run out in game. Thankfully, I didn’t have to do all of that!Out of the box, the fit is surprisingly forgiving and easy to wear. Yes, you need to wiggle your foot in through the tight ankle opening the first few times you wear them, but once ... MoreI wasn’t necessarily looking forward to breaking them in for the first time.

Yes, you need to wiggle your foot in through the tight ankle opening the first few times you wear them, but once they are on they felt great. I was pretty nervous when I took them right out and into a game, but they worked out far better than I could have anticipated. It did take 3-4 wears for the upper to really stretch out to my natural foot shape, and I’d still recommend playing it smart by easing them into play.Having worn them several dozen times to date (a lot more than any other boot recently), they now rank as one of my preferred boot options and are very naturally comfortable on foot.
My daughter Yaya love, these cleats so much that she bought a second pair. We had a difficult time finding these, as they are mostly no longer available and Nikki was the one place that had her appropriate size. But unfortunately, they did not ship to Hawaii and we called customer service, and they gladly shipped it to Hawaii for us reasoning that shipping took too long to arrive to Hawaii. The cleats arrived in less than a week and we were beyond pleased with the customer service we received..looking good in her Pink Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 15 Academy MG Cleats 💗
Bought for my son coz CR7's out of stock in his size. Plays at U13 and players from opposition teams have said to him they like his boots!! had them in an adult size 9, they moulded to his foot well and give good ball control. He's scored quite a few times with them already! Used them on grass and 3G, Another plus is they stand out on the field so i can always see where he is!! Great value from sports direct too!
This is not about the shoes it’s just about the company. They don’t send you the right shoes instead they sent me a mens and a size 13 in black!! My daughter was very upset, as she didn’t get her shoe that’s above and they could not make it right Or even substitute with another shoe. All we want is the shoe we ordered as the shoe that we paid for is in someone else’s hands due to negligence from the company.
