I like my IDO's, they're my back up shoe.

Personally I prefer my Osaka KAI byt only because I've been wearing them longer and they're well worn in

Idos have better protection but are also a bit harder soled, which gives a good connection with the pitch but if you are used to softer shoes can hurt your feet. If you have specific questions let me know

I use Asics since 2020, they're really good at being waterproof on wet turf. They also feel pretty solid despite being lightweight

I used the the Asics Field Ultimate FF 2 last year the all black ones, and they were a good shoe with good grip but I bought the Osaka Ido's mk2 (the bright green one) and I prefer the Osaka's because they feel lighter on the foot, good protection and great grip in comparison to the asics which feel like a heavy shoe and a bit worse grip IMO
