  • Wow!!

    Lisa90410998 - Feb 19, 2025

    When I first got them I was a little worried they were not going to be comfortable for all day wear!! Oh my gosh they are so comfy! No knee pain (I’m almost 66)! Soooo many complaints! 1000 percent satisfied!

  • Amazing.

    Jester - Feb 17, 2025

    The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Academy TF has been a game-changer for me on turf. The heel Air Zoom unit gives me explosive acceleration, making it easier to break past defenders. The NikeSkin upper provides a barefoot-like feel, improving my touch and control, especially during fast plays. Traction is another highlight—the rubber outsole grips the turf well, keeping me stable even during sharp cuts and quick changes in direction. I also love the adaptive knit upper, which molds to my foot for a snug but flexible fit, enhancing comfort and responsiveness. Overall, these cleats have made me faster, more agile, and more confident in my ball control. If you play on turf and want a lightweight, high-performance shoe, I’d highly recommend them!

  • Turf shoe

    Soccer dad - Feb 24, 2025

    These shoes have been great to wear to my daughter's practice. Sometimes I join in on the scrimmages and these still give great traction on the field. I also have the cleat version of this and both fit true to size. I like the low profile sole, it helps keep me from breaking an ankle on the youth fields. The upper is pretty breathable a so my feet don’t get too hot in the Florida humidity. Overall this is a great turf shoe. I think these will probably last a couple seasons of weekly scrimmages.
