I have the Mizuno Morelia 2 MIJ which, on my life, is the best football boot I have ever worn in my life. I’m 29 and have won close to hundreds of different boots but non come close to the Mizuno. My touch on the ball is sublime, doesn’t compromise my speed off the ball, gives me supreme comfort and break in time was genuinely 10 minutes. I lick my lips looking forward to training/matches. I went half a size down to 8 and it was the best decision. If you want comfort on AG and FG fields, you won’t go wrong with the Mizuno Morelia 2 MIJ or the elite version
@@erickdecasas5550 yes I’d recommend half a size down (unless you have extremely wide feet) because the k leather stretches over time. If you have wide feet, your feet will adjust to them after 20/30 mins into a session. Half a size down means you get a very good feel of the ball, your touch is better and you feel more in control when the ball is near and at your feet.
@@gv_-06 i do get that both are speed boots and all, and maybe that the original Neo’s been around for long enough to see the F50 die and be reborn, but I still think it would’ve been better to compare Alpha v F50. No hate tho, just an opinion.
PLEASE DO AN ADLER REVIEW ON THE WHOLE LINE, THIS ORDER PREFERRED: Yatagarashu Horenso Yamatokyo Jarumakan That’s kind of in the order of best to worst(I have the first two, and they are fanTASTIC) Personally, I think that despite the VERY traditional appearance, they are the best fitting, full k-leather upper boots out there. Very accommodating to wider foot shapes, I don’t think in a bad way unless your feet are really skinny. But the OG deep lacing systems do their jobs well and I can only assume it works for anyone. The heel shapes are perfect(personal preference tho I guess) and they are VERY responsive with FULL karVo inserts stitched into the sole plate(what the mizuno alpha uses, partially)
@@khelgarironfist3301 in my experience, the horenso feels more speedboot-esque. Its upper i believe is thinner and comprises of less stitching, leading it to feel less bulky. The yatagarashu is comprised of multiple pieces/layers of leather as well, leading to its bulkier feel. Also, despite both having a full KarVo insert stitched into the soleplate, the horensos feel more flexible, so I believe there is another layer of material in the yatagarashu soleplate to make it more rigid. The fits on them both are amazing and I would consider them the same on that regard. Personally I like how the horenso feel more, being what I believe is thinner/more flexible.
I have the gold dmessi f50s and they are the best and most comfortable football boots i have ever worn in my life with absolutely no break in time. planning to get the white ones too
if you go for Mizuno, need also consider that k-leather is really soft and there is no magic about this, soft is soft, its very comfort feel on the foot, but it is wear out faster as well, especially where it is connected to the sole plate, especially if you play and train a lot on artificial grass (which happens pretty often present days), nothing really crazy, but white paint is really disappear and get more wet during the rains, so may be need to consider another one pair of Mizuno's during the season, which make them even more expensive from that point. About sizing I would say, they are very different (in EU at least), I usually have nike vapor for about 45,5 EU (which is between 10,5-11US), so Mizuno was very comfort for 44,5EU, but adidas have very different sizing, for me is good 46,3 - 46,7EU. So not sure why SRFY compare them as about same sizes, they have very very different sizing system.
Neo 4 Pro would be my pick because I like a leather upper over the cheaper synthetic of the F50 League. Not that the F50 is bad though, it’s solid for that style of football boot at its respective price point
Hi Jonny be good Whats a good alternative to a Nike Tiempo Legend 8 or 9 Pro? Those Boots fit me perfectly because I have a bit of a wide feet. I need an alternative since they don’t make them anymore. I want conical studs Leather No shallow heel And responsiveness of the tiempos. If anyone has a suggestion I’d appreciate it. Thanks in advance 😊
Personally, as a man who uses both Adler and mizuno, I think they beat mizuno in comfort and performance, they are that good(AND still cheaper than mizuno MIJ, even including shipping)
@@manuelaguilar6305i wish Adler would change the stud pattern (more aggressive) and stiffin up the heel like Mizuno! After fixing that they would be amazing
I still don't get the hype surrounding the neo 4 beta. I've had it for over 8 months now. I'm not a leather expert, but I'm not getting any wow factor from the upper. It's not as soft as it's made out to be. The heel area is a big hotspot for me, and after a while, it gets very sweaty inside the boot because of the suede lining. The soleplate of the F50 definitely felt stiffer to me, it wasn't even close. That being said, the leather forefoot is welcome as I've been getting a lot of irritations on my toe from the other synthetic boots I have (Vapor 16, SKX, Alpha, Preds). The leather is much more comfortable. Wish they sold the neo 4 non beta in the UK
100% agree with this take. The betas are definitely a good boot but like you said they aren’t “that” soft. Especially the knit mid foot which I found took 2-3 months to break in after regular usage. Also the sole plate on the neos are not as responsive as people make it out to be. It got quite flimsy within half a year of use for me.
@rachidakhtarini5615 hard to say. Neo 4 is more comfortable for me since the forefoot is leather. But only after I change the insole because the original causes to much pain (I have flat feet). The alpha doesn't fit me properly lengthways.
If I had to choose between the two mizunos would definitely be my choice 1. They're not as common which makes them more unique 2. Natural leather 3. They look better (it's of course personal opinion)
Cheap recycle plastic VS premium K- leather?
Swatch vs Grand Seiko?
Mizuno for sure !

how do you find the responsiveness of the soleplate?
Its nice and balanced @@Aviary_11
Wouldn't recommend for ag I found the unstable and I feed my knee up pretty badly
Hey, wouldn’t it make more sense to compare synthetic v synthetic (Alpha v F50)?
Idk what was bro thinking with this comparison
@@gv_-06 i do get that both are speed boots and all, and maybe that the original Neo’s been around for long enough to see the F50 die and be reborn, but I still think it would’ve been better to compare Alpha v F50. No hate tho, just an opinion.
I have both and in the video and the alpha elites and I believe mizuno wins on both of their models against the f50
PLEASE DO AN ADLER REVIEW ON THE WHOLE LINE, THIS ORDER PREFERRED:
Yatagarashu
Horenso
Yamatokyo
Jarumakan
That’s kind of in the order of best to worst(I have the first two, and they are fanTASTIC)

Copa mundials WISH they were like these(to be fair tho, Adler uses modern materials in a traditional aesthetic, but even more so than mizuno)
FULL SIZE DOWN THOUGH, I’ve even considered trying 1.5 down, but 1 is good. Like the copa mundials
Whats the difference between Yatagarashu and Horenso tho? They look very similar
@@khelgarironfist3301 in my experience, the horenso feels more speedboot-esque. Its upper i believe is thinner and comprises of less stitching, leading it to feel less bulky.

@@manuelaguilar6305 might give yata a try as a modern leather fan. If i wear 44 Tiempo and 42.5 Mizuno Alpha mij, what size should i go for?

Try the morelias
Mizuno is always the best boot but it so expensive. It so expensive you scare to use just keep it at home
Just 20 dollars off most high ends currently
@@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nwnot the MIJ
@@GutsOnAScoot in Japan, the miJ is the same as the big brand models

What a colourway, but i need morelia betta and alpha comparision 😭😭
I want to get my hands on a Mizuno , is there a store where I can get them or is it only available on their website?
My first pair of Mizunos got me never switched to another brand since being introduced
Hey Josh,
What would you choose between mizuno morelia neo 4 pro or f50 messi league?
Neo 4 Pro would be my pick because I like a leather upper over the cheaper synthetic of the F50 League. Not that the F50 is bad though, it’s solid for that style of football boot at its respective price point
Hi Jonny be good

you should check out the adler boots

@@manuelaguilar6305are they light or are the mizunos lighter?
Any major difference between the Morelia neo 3 beta vs the 4 beta?
Major difference, not really. All the changes they made are very subtle
@@Soccerreviewsforyou thanks bro

@@RagingMist do the alphas feel significantly lighter tho ? And I want to play on ag field
Neo is way better it’s not even a competition
the neo 4's would be an easy choice if they had colourways more like the og neo
Do you ship to india
The Mizunos are expensive, no doubt. But IMHO, with the quality on them, the Adidas doesn't even comes close.
What about durability
Honestly on grass Mizuno takes every boot, no doubt.
Mizuno for sure
I can't get K-leather in California
Whos wider
The Messi version of the F50 is the widest of the bunch 👍
Adidas like a cheap toy .
Mizuno heavy duty.
1st
If I had to choose between the two mizunos would definitely be my choice
1. They're not as common which makes them more unique
2. Natural leather
3. They look better (it's of course personal opinion)
