I must say that they are more comfortable than I thought they would be. I took a couple of shots with them but really couldn't do any running. I would've liked to get a pair to try in a competitive environment. I tend to run more on my toes and the front of my feet and asked about the effects of the molding on a person like me. He did say the cleats were redesigned to accomodate that now but that some people still do have problems with them. I would expect that from any cleat though. Their top tier boot was really nice. Simple design with Kangaroo leather which appealed to me. If you are a Copa wearer, this cleat may appeal to you. If you wear something like a Mercurial, this probably wouldn't be your type of cleat. It's a concept that seems to be catching on, with the leaders trying to add functionality to their cleats to provide more power.

I did see that they are for sale on the Eurosport website. Based on the reviews it's a 50/50 split from people. Looks like the biggest complaint is the guard on top is not flexible and causes blisters on top of the toes. Doesn't seem to happen to everyone, which is typical anyway. Some people seem to be prone to blisters while others are not. Interesting concept. I did see that they are for sale on the Eurosport website. Based on the reviews it’s a 50/50 split from people.
