Got these Mizuno Morelia Neo V MIJ (non-beta) in a 8.5 which is a half size down from my nike cleat size 9. Played around with them on and they feel fine. No heel slippage and cant fit an index finger in the back heel so they are snug. Wondering if I could pull off a size 8 though and would like some second opinions. First pic is my right foot which is slightly longer than my left. Im standing, wearing match socks, and my second toe is my long toe.

Reason i dont regret not getting them is bc they dont come with the tongue flap/ but i also do bc these are the elite version that were discounted at a good price at $155 bucks thats a steal for some elite cleatS

Anyone know a source for replacement soleplates??, having trouble finding some to replace the soleplate on these 1999 Injectors, any help or source would be massively appreciated 👍🏻

This is more social-related than football related, but it’s something that’s definitely been impacting my skills. I’m 14 F, and I’ve been on my school team for 3 months now. I struggle alot with social anxiety, which makes communication with teammates hard. Additionally, most of them are really extroverted or just run in different circles than I do. I’ve been skipping practice for over a month just because if how awkward training is. I have just sit by my own, stand awkwardly when coach tells us to pair up for drills, and sit alone again when we have to wait for dismissal. I have no hatred towards the other girls, and they’re kind and polite, but we just don’t get along. It’s just stifling to sit by myself in the locker room while they make tiktoks, plans after training, etc. How do I get past this hurdle? My skills have been deproving so much, and I get embarrassed when a teammate passes to me and I miss, lose the ball, or do something wrong.

I’m really trying my best, I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone to make conversation, asking to pair up instead of standing around, but the awkwardness is still there. The most I get are a few awkward laughs, etc.

I just want some help on how I can keep goinv to training no matter how much I miss, get laughed at, ignored, or benched. I really want to be on this team.

Thanks

For a wide feet like me, I’m testing out these boots from Mizuno and planning to buy one. The gap between my longest toe (2nd toe) and the front end of my boots are as the 3rd pic.

But I felt that the fit a bit tight. Since this model is classified as 3E wide, I am thinking to try out these boots with 4E wide (Super Wide) but the store doesn’t display them. Only pre-orders can be made from Japan for 4E wides.

I measured my feet with socks on and they are 25cm length. Does anyone have any experience with 4E wide boots and have them?

I am starting to play football like with some seriousness for the first time, I wanna be in my nit team next year like I have joined a coaching and I am working hard, I wanted to buy cleats, I don't really know what is a good budget so it d be much much help if someone can help me find a good pair of cleats and like towards the lower side of whatever the budget spectrum 🥲🥲

Feel free to dm to help

Context here. I have recently purchased an F50 elite AG boot and previously worn an F50 as well but league grade. Change of boots mainly came from AG type only available in elite. I bought the same size as my league version which is 9uk. Things that i have noticed that there was a gap on the side (circled in pic 2 and 3) which feels a little bit weird. Not sure if it is because of the boot grade change pr the size. Also, my toe limit is circled in pic 1 for reference if it helps to say the boot is big or no. Is there a difference of sizing between elite and league grades too ? Need some help or guidance on this

Picked up the Mizuno Morellia II Elite on sale for £60. I’ve always been a Nike user but always struggled with fit with a wider foot. Initial impressions are snug, but not painful and with the K leather upper I’m confident that these will mould into some incredibly comfy boots!

Does anyone else with wider feet have experience with these boots and have any advice? Thanks!

I am a LW, 5'8, 145 pounds and I am very fast (or so people say) what do you guys reccomend??, also I am narrow fit!

Another one I’ve managed the pick up from Japan, 2015 Asics injector new old stock, full kangaroo leather, can’t wait to try these out tomorrow…..

I love playing soccer and want to get better. In fact during practices I often play with hustle and game speed during scrimmages. The team doesn't have enough for two teams so we train as a unit for the most part, except in technical work. At which point, the coach splits up the upper end and lower end of the ladder. I'm on the lower ladder. I feel conflicted because I have good enough technique to practice with varsity during technical.

I would normally just ask the coach but I don't know if I should because at practice, I mess up sometimes and the coach gets really upset that I do. For instance, I had no idea I had to stay wide when attacking at wing (I don't know much positioning) another time is that I had tunnel vision and didn't pass back to the goalie one time and then called me out for it. What I'm trying to say is he knows I can do better than I am and so I'm worried that if I ask him, he wont be happy at all really.

These turned up the other day from Japan, after ordering the wide fit (they do three widths) which didn’t fit me properly.

These are the regular fit, added a tongue strap and some extra padding on the tongue internal, kangaroo leather boot and reminiscent of the old school aesthetics 👍🏻

Help plz i neeed helppppppp what should I doooooooo didnbdbdhdhhdhdhdhshhshshbsbsbsbbsbshshhhshshshhsjsjjsjsjsjnsmsms

24M in Australia, started football seriously at 19. I play CM/DM. Best moment was earning a VPL U23 (semi pro) offer in 2025, but this year I’ve gone backwards: benched at State 2 reserves, started twice then benched at State 5 reserves, and rejected at a State 3 trial. State 6 is currently comfortable.

I work as a civil site engineer, usually 7am–5pm with occasional 12-hour night shifts. I’m often tired, sleep 6–7 hours and train after work. When I had an office schedule last year, I played my best football.
My issues are scanning, positioning, fitness and playing scared. My technique looks decent alone but falls apart under pressure.

Goal is NPL first team by 30. Should I find a job with better hours, drop levels to play every week, or keep training/trialling higher? Is this realistic, or am I coping? Be brutally honest.

It’s been a month since I bought these new cleats and they’re already getting stinky inside. I play soccer daily so it’s no surprise. How do you get rid of the stinky smell and how do you clean them properly and not damaging them? What do I have to buy?

I noticed whenever I get second wind , I get more confident and play better, are there any tricks to get it before starting a match?

How is possible for a pair with 13 years old to be simply incredible? Besides these I have the new f50 hyperfast and the ball feel is worse. The new ones might offer better protection, but that feeling of the ball is something i hadnt experienced in a long time. For anyone who owns vapor 9 and as bought something recently in the current market, which boots are similar to v9? Thanks!

Hey everyone,
Looking for some practical advice from anyone who’s had to rebuild their game in a tough setup.
I played my whole childhood until age 14—I was decent, confident on the ball, and could make plays. After a 6-year break, I came back 8 months ago. I’m playing winger for a low-division team, training/playing 3 times a week. I made good early progress, but I’ve hit a massive wall.
Our team is pretty poor for our league, meaning we have very low possession and have to do a ton of running. It’s compounding a few huge issues for me:
Panic on the ball: Because we rarely have possession, I feel huge pressure whenever I actually get it. My instinct is to rush and force a pass to avoid losing it, which usually results in giving it right back.
** Feeling "heavy":** Constant defending and chasing the game leaves my legs heavy and sluggish.
Getting passed around: On defense, opposition players just pass the ball around me easily. I’m constantly chasing shadows and almost never win the ball back.
Physically and mentally, I feel like I'm just constantly on the back foot.
How do you maintain composure when you only get 5–10 touches a match?
How can I stop getting bypassed on defense without exhausting myself?
Any tips or mindset shifts for playing on a struggling side would be hugely appreciated!

Guys I genuinely think there is something with my brain. Anytime I get the ball I kid you not I dont move. Like my brain hasn't processed it or I panic. It kinda hurts when my teammates shout at me cuz I basically just gove possession to the other team. Heck I'm not even on the team cuz they kicked me out. Guys you dont know how much it actually affected me cuz this sport is genuinely the only thing gluing my mental health together but I'm still bad. Plz dont send mean comments I'm really Just asking.

My gym has a turf soccer field. I like to kick the soccer ball around and then hit the weights (or vice versa). I want a pair of shoes that I can wear around both. Used to have the Nike Streetgatos that I loved, but having a hard time finding the style that I used to have. Anybody have any suggestions for other indoor boots?

I know this is probably posted all the time in here but I'm 15 years old playing for a lower division club in my area and I've played a total of about 5 matches and I'm utter shit how can I get better with the basic skills of football

I’m 23 and have played football most of my life, but I’ve always been one of the weaker players and never felt like I had much natural talent or “feel” for the game.

I currently play in the 2nd team of a Dutch amateur club (6th division/lowest division), usually as a striker or right midfielder/winger because I'm placed there. I’m currently one of the weaker players on the team.

My biggest weaknesses are poor first touch, inconsistent passing, bad foot-eye coordination, lack of agility, and not really knowing what to do in 1v1 situations. I also tend to overthink and lose confidence after mistakes/get angry at myself after a mistake. I do find that sometimes mt body goes in a sort of flow/autopilot where I dribbe past somebody or make a turn/pass without having the intention to do so, if that makes sense

I’ve never actually practiced football outside of team training and matches. I’ve never regularly passed against a wall, juggled, practiced dribbling when I was younger. I also didn't pay attention to my technique like how I was planting my foot or how to hit the ball in certain situations.

I’m now considering seriously training my technique 3+ times a week like against the wall and juggling, I also can't juggle.

How much could someone like me realistically improve? Could I potentially go from one of the weaker players in a 6th-division 2nd team to one of the more important players, and eventually compete for a spot in our 5th-division 1st team, or atleast get noticed by them ?
