Need help choosing my next boots for the new season 👟⚽
​
With the new season coming up, I’ve been looking at the Adidas Predator and the Nike Phantom 6.
I have thin-to-medium feet and play RB, so I’m mainly looking for a good fit, lockdown, comfort and reliable traction.
I previously tried a pair of Phantom 6s, but I later found out they were fake. The pictures below are of the exact pair I had.
I didn’t really like the 360° Cyclone setup, but the soleplate itself felt a little snappy, and I actually liked that aspect because it gave my foot a bit more support and stability. Since the pair was fake, though, I have no idea how close that feeling was to the authentic Phantom 6.
For people who have worn both boots, I’d really like to hear how they compare in terms of fit, comfort, lockdown, traction, responsiveness and overall feel.
I’d also be interested to know whether the authentic Phantom 6 has that same slightly snappy feel from the soleplate and whether it provides a similar sense of support.
Thanks for the help!
