Got my hands on a pair last week and gotta agree with pretty much everything that was said:
- no break in time. Boots fit perfectly and they are the most comfortable boots Ive ever used
- heel area padding and suede make it super comfy and premium looking
- lacing system and the laceholes on the tongue are top notch
- got mine in white/lime green colorway. They are fire!!!!
Cant recommend them enough and its a shame that these boots are not as popular as it should be.
Love that mate, thank you!
can you recommend using this on AG pitch?
@@alenmalonzo740 these have conical studs and AG would be ideal
I bought a pair after watching your videos because I have same bunions on my heels and I always struggle with break in time with both adidas and Nike. I played am 41 and started playing soccer at 5. This is by far the best pair of soccer booth I have had. The heel area is padded, extremely soft and doesn’t causes any friction. The shoes are light and they fit perfectly for me that I have a medium width foot. I highly recommend these boots and I thank you for your honest review.
Love that mate! Glad you enjoy them 🤝
Bought these after morelia II cross stitch
Never thought heel area can feel so nice, incredible pair of boots, IMHO better then morelia overall, but mizuno has thinner k-leather. Definitely half size down (26cm foot bought 25,5)
Purchased these off the back of this video, easily the most comfortable boot straight out of the box I’ve owned. Love the quality, it’s the full package. Will definitely look to give the synthetic version a go in near future.
Love that mate! Glad you're enjoying them 🔥
waiting for the side-by-side with the xfly pro 2. Here in Brazil a wholesaler imports them and we can get at really good prices, I will buy one depending on your comparison
Quem importa e qual o valor da xfly pro 2?
They're both excellent mate, you can't go wrong!
@@eduardokoji a netshoes!! de 580 até 1800, varia com a cor. A X-FLY Pro 2 tá 1180 nas duas cores
@@NoahCavanaugh my sister in law is coming from japan and i was gonna ask her to bring me a backup pair of boots. I thought of asking her to get me the ds light pro tuna blue, they are on sale. What can u tell me bout them? Or would you splurge and get a pair of adlers lol? If so which model that would fit and feel like an xfly?
@@angelobartolomeu5679 but the x fly 5, check my comment. Best boots ever hands doen
Have these in this color. Go to match boot. Phenomenal. Underrated is underfoot comfort. Zero stud pressure
Love to hear that mate!
Love these boots. Great leather feel with the mobility of a speed boot. Top tier
Agreed mate! S Tier for sure
Great review, once again! Can you do a video comparing the different ASICS models? I really want to try a pair, but bc they are only readily available in japan, I can't go to a store to try them on to feel the differences. A video listing the differences would be greatly appreciated 👌🏼
I'll do my best!
Noah has seriously made me consider ASICS as an option for me… btw there’s this white color with your brand blue as accents that looks super crisp.
They are great boots. I have a black pair. Also have the Special Edition white/blue synthetic Pros, and they're also fantastic.
They're absolutely class mate 🔥
Picked these up from both Lockhartbootblog and your reviews and the way they feel right out the box have made them my favorite cleat to wear atm. Appreciate the work and attention to detail you do!
That's awesome mate! Andrew is awesome 😎
do you recommend using this on AG pitch?
@@alenmalonzo740 conical studs so they go good on grass or AG surfaces!
I have absolutely loved these !
I have had a little slippage in my right heel and there is separation in the forefoot but overall they have been outstanding !
Fair enough mate! So glad they’ve been good!
A great boot made of a great brand ...one of my teammates haw it and a have left speechless of the quality rhiw boot has...also the colour? 10/10 absolutely stunning
Agreed! Such a good boot 😎
The downside with Asics is that they're hard to get in Europe. Mizuno however you can find those pretty much everywhere.
Such a bummer!
i have both morelia neo 4 non-beta and ds light x fly 5 SE , and i prefer the xfly 5 because the mid foot is much wider than the neos & overall more comfortable.
Hell yeah 😎
Thank you for all the information on your channel as well as your website. As a mom of a US club & high school soccer player, the past 2years have been filled with blisters & heel pain & after many cleat trials, he only enjoyed playing in the classic leather Copa Mundials (which fall apart after a few uses). We listened to a lot of your reviews and he just had his first practice in these boots & the grip socks you recommended. I've never seen him come out of a practice happier - he LOVES the feel! As we had sole separation with the Copa's, do you have a recommended leather protector? Favorite laces you can link as these are a little short ?
No worries! Glad it was helpful 🤝 I don't use any leather protection, but these Asics will last a lot longer than the Copas (at least that's been the case in my testing / playing). As far as laces go, I'd go for something here: sr4ulaces.com/ - lots of colors to choose from!
Camera angle is nuts.. I feel like I’m upside down… put the camera facing you brotha….you should be presenting them to me .. not just letting me see them from over your shoulder lol..cawwm onnn maaaan.. good review tho
Thanks for watching!
Thanks again for the ASICS reviews.
You're welcome mate 🤝
Asics video = *instant thumbs up*
Keep it up with the videos Noah, great stuff as always ❤
I appreciate you mate!
At the moment the DS Light X Fly 5 is a boot that I constantly rotate with my Mizuno Morelia 2 MIJ and Adidas XCrazyfast.1.. don’t think I can say anything negative about them given how absolutely comfortable they are.
That's great to hear mate! 🔥 It's such a good boot aye
How are the Asics compared to your Morelia II MIJ?
Asics are usually very comfortable with good width as well, always liked asics for that. Problem with most asics boots that I tried is that they cannot get under the ball, esspecially with a side foot chip or lob, also can't do outside of the foot and trivellas. These look lighter and don't seem to have as much elevation, theoretically that should fix the problem? Do you think these are good with chipping, lobbing and outside of the foot? esp compared to other asics such as tigreor or lethal testimonial?
Definitely mate! That sounds like a technique problem, not a boot problem 🤝
@@NoahCavanaugh lmaooo
Ah exposed yourself did we lol
How would you compare these to the Mizuno Rebula Cup MIJ? Specifically width in midfoot and forefoot and your general notes in differences and similarities mate? Indecisive between the two.
They don’t make the Rebula anymore so it may be difficult to find, but the Rebula is more roomy in general
Hi Noah, thanks a lot for the great videos!
I bought them in white with the silver soleplate and already have some important soleplate separation (as you talked about in your one month review). I only play on grass pitch and never had similar issues with other boots. Do you know if the more recent colorways have solved this issue and are more durable or if maybe the X FLY Pro 2 is more durable?
Nice mate! Sorry to hear about the sole separation - that's no good... It seems every other colorway I've had has excellent durability, so not sure what the issue was with the white and silver pair
Thanks a lot for your feedback. It is a shame, I really like this boot. I think I will try to reach out to Asics as well to check with them if there is anything different with the new colorways.
Anyways, love your videos. Keep up the good work! :D
Would love to get these! Im in Canada and I dont know where to get them! Where can I get it?
Ebay or tokyofootball.sg on IG
Hey Noah, im planning on getting a pair from tokyo football but im wondering what the customs and taxes system in aus was like for your pair of these? Was it painful and or easy to pay customs was it long wait? Etc thanks!
zero! I've not had to pay anything so far
Finally been wearing these fly 5 for a while now and they are the best I swear and ppl just don’t know, basically mizunos 😂
Love that mate, they're class! 🔥
Hi noah on the 1 momth review you mentioned durability issues is that still the case with the asics series?
Not with this color no
Waiting for a one month review or comparison with Morelia Neo 4
😂 In time mate, reviews have to drop before the 1 month does haha
awesome video both the x fly5 and 4 video. which one would you is better the x fly 4 or the x fly 5?
I'd just go for the new one! (5).
Hi Noah, great video as always. Question on sizing, usually I am a US size 11, as you recommended will probably get a 10.5, but… they don’t make 10.5?
If they make 11, you'll be just fine with that!
Hey Noah, does the 8.5 in these ASICS fit similar to the 9US in Nike Tiempo X? I feel like we have the same foot type lol.
Yes
Yes, mate!!! Been waiting for this since you dropped the teaser on instagram two weeks ago.
haha😍
Noah, i'm usually a size 9 US in Morelia Neo and Nike Vapors. What size do you recommend I get in these?
Love the review
I'd go for a 9 or if you want a tighter fit (once broken in) I'd go for an 8.5 🤝
@@NoahCavanaugh Thanks
Still waiting for a X-fly 5 and X-fly pro 2 comparison video!🥹
You'll probably wait a while mate 😂 I have a LOT of content to push out
These are hands down my best fitting boots in the past 5-10 years. Funny thing is actually go true to size in US and my toe is right at the end lol
I wish they made them with an AG soleplate as well... They're too aggressive for the AG fields I play on during the winter months.
SO good aye! 🔥That's great to hear you can get away with true to size!
do you notice a difference in fit or feeling of these and the x-fly 4s? which would you choose? thanks
A little bit mate! More in the small changes they've made overall to the quality and comfort
These look so good! Such a great pair of boots.
Definitely my favorite Asics model 😍
@@NoahCavanaugh Understandable!
Do the synthetic variant of these offer more performance? Which is better
Not really no! About the same
Hey mate, got myself half-sized down a DS Light AG mode and been wearing it for few session and I still got a small blister on the heel. Do you reckon it will stretch a bit later as I wear it more often? It is an amazing boots btw, just not perfectly fit on my weird feet straight out of the box. Thanks!!
Yes mate, it will stretch!
How do you find the toebox? Looks like it’s curved upwards from the side profile?
It's a tiny bit curved upwards, but you don't notice it while playing!
Hi noah. Do this version and limited version has different ?
Yep! Limited version is synthetic
Noah, some websites have the sizing tricky for these. For comparison, could you tell me what your Morelia II are in cm? I know your x-fly 5 are 26.5cm. Just trying to get the size right since I’m ordering international
I have a free size guide with ALL THE BOOTS here!: www.noahcavanaugh.com/product-page/football-boot-sizing-guide
@@NoahCavanaugh clutch. Thanks mate!
Hey man, for artificial grass, would you go for these or the synthetic limited edition ones?
Either really! The SE (synthetic) is slightly more durable overall, but they're both good!
I want to buy one of them but I wonder about size. I usually wear Adidas boots 10US size and the toes are right up to the end. The half size down will fit or should I go true to size? Greatfull for advices!
Have you watched the video? I talk about sizing in the first few minutes!!!!!!
If I normally wear a 10.5 (US) in Nike mercurials and mizuno alphas.. what size should I wear for these?
Probably 10.5 or 10
i cant decide which size to get these..i have a pair of morelia 2s in 9.5 US and they are tight, right on the edge of being too short. would you say go 9.0 US for these or stick to 9.5?
mm maybe go 9.5 still mate!
@@NoahCavanaugh thanks a lot for the answer! you're the man! :) ill try 9.5 and report back when it arrives.
@@flakers1337so what's the results?
hey Noah , unrelated question , is there a way to do a runners loop and not get lace bights on the sides ?
I don't usually get lace bites on the side, but you have to wiggle the laces around so they sit flush with the boots and not your ankle
Would you say these boots are better than the adler yatagurashu’s? Im looking at it from a comfort and performance standpoint. Seems like the leather and quality of the adlers may be better.
From a performance perspective yes, but comfort is debatable. Both are exceptionally comfortable
Ya these are awesome. I definitely prefer them true to size though
Fair play mate!
What’s the biggest difference with these compared to the xfly pro 2 and ultrezza? I can get the ultrezza easier than the other two, but it seems like you like the ds lights more the ultrezza.
Thanks for all your videos, they’re super helpful!
Might have to do a video comparison mate! The X Fly 5 is my favorite out of the 3
Thanks for the content! Where could I buy these? I live in western europe.
@tokyofootball.sg
Hi Noah what’s the durability like on these I only play on AG I was thinking what would last longer furon v7+ or maybe the special addition version of these or just the normal ones you reviewed here thank you !
Fantastic mate, no complaints so far!
@@NoahCavanaugh alright thanks you I will give the ASICS a try I think as they look like a quality pair of boots
@@NoahCavanaugh also which ones you preferring the all synthetic or the pure leather ones thank you !
Is it okay to use this pair for AG pitch? Thanks you for the answer
Yes
I'm struggling to decide between X-Fly 5 and Ultrezza 3.
X Fly 5
@@NoahCavanaugh Even playing almost solely on AG? Your 1-month review awhile back indicated durability concerns.
They're not made in Japan, but made in Vietnam as the box says.
Thanks!
do you like the feel of the leather or the synthetic version in terms of comfort and touch on the ball?
Leather 🤝
Hi Noah - Need some sizing help!
My son is currently wearing mizuno alpha MIJ at us 6.5 (in the label it says Japan 24.5cm). He’s growing out of the alpha size wise and wants leather plus a decent sole plate so I looked up x-fly 5 and it says us6.5 / Japan 25cm.
Should I buy x-fly 5 at us6.5 or us7.5/japan 25.5cm?
This sizing is really confusing and it sucks not able to try out boots nearby. Any help is greatly appreciated 🙏🙏
I have a FREE full size guide here: www.noahcavanaugh.com/product-page/football-boot-sizing-guide
What's your honest thoughts on these vs the NB Furon V8 Pro?? I see you have those as your #1 personal boot for 2024
If these are better than the Mizuno Neo IV, (their top performance model) and you have that boot as #1 in your "best speed boot of 2024 video", along with Mizuno being your #1 Boot brand from the brand video. Assuming you can get these Asics, these are the best boot for performance overall? It seems like these have it all. Top comfort, touch, control, fit, weight, ability to play multiple surfaces, and to top it off, they look amazing, and aren't nowhere near as expensive as the top models of other brands. Why would you get any other boot? Unless you really want comfort, full leather or a classic feel then you go with Morelia II's.
New Balance Furon v8 doesn't exist yet bro! These are some of the best boots on the market hands down 🔥
@@NoahCavanaugh Ahhh my bad I meant the V7+ Pro's. Trying to decide between those or these Asics! Any tips on helping me choose?
Yo these boots are perfect for u in ur brand colours too. Do you think there are tf versions of these?
There aren't
Unfortunately not mate... Asics doesn't make these into TF at all
Which would you recommend the new preds or the X fly 5?
TOOOOTALLY different mate, depends what you're looking for and what fits your foot the best
Hi! Do you feel any foot pressure(?) because of stud?? I'm sorry if you already mentioned on video... cause I'm bad at english it's hard to understand the whole video..
No mate 🤝 fantastic boots all around
I got a pair cause of you bro! They're just simply amazing. Much love 🫶🏼
Love that mate! 🤝
where is a good place to get these boots in Australia ?
@tokyofootball.sg on Instagram
Which one better, xfly pro or new balance 442 pro?
X Fly Pro
DS light X Fly 5 vs DS light Pro 2, which do you think you'll end up preferring as a game boot?
X Fly 5 For sure mate!
hi noah if i wear 9us for basically every boots (MIJ morelia neo 4 and even the asics ultrezza 2 which is same asics) do you still recommend half-size down for the x-fly 5's? thanks in advance cos i can't try them before getting them and they do have the 1/4 to 1/3 longer vibe. If they're like the mizuno alphas, i need to stick with us9 cos my width won't allow for 8.5 for the alphas + most other boots. but do let me know if they are more forgiving than the alphas width-wise. if 8.5 in these fit similar to us9 morelia neos (length+width), im definitely getting 8.5 in these.
I’d go for the same size as the Ultrezza 🤝
unfortunate i only have it locally sold for wide feet (2e), wanted to try these boys out
I reckon you could get away with a 2E mate, these will fit!
@@NoahCavanaugh should i go for usual same size or go half up/down?
@@NoahCavanaugh hello , I am in similar Situation . Recommend buy same size of old boots or go up.down ?
Which AG sol plate do you recommend the most?
Really any of them mate!
What would you prefer, these or the Limited edition?
Mmmm both are so good bro... impossible to chose. Maybe these because of the color 😂
@@NoahCavanaugh Thank you!
Man I loved these but I found the 4 heel studs way too long for even the high quality turf I play on normally 😏
Fair enough mate!
Yooo how the heck you have such crazy quads 😂
😈💪
will these boots do well on AG ?
Yep!
Man now im stuck if i should get these or the mizuno morelia neo 4 beta made in japan
I like these better, but they're both great mate
Get the asics bro, better than mizuno in terms of performance.
Those or MJ2 ?
MJ2?
@ Morelia 2 MIJ 🤣
How much will strech front of this boots?
A decent amount for sure!
Are these shoes available for purchase anywhere? in Asia? Thailand?
Yep! Check the link in the description mate @tokyofootball.sg on IG
No I have the all white with bright orange accenting , best colorway
Also dope!
What is "break in time"? Im from brazil
The time it takes you to make the boot fit you perfectly
What are your thoughts about the upcoming Next gen nike mercurials?
Haven't had them in hand mate, no clue!
When are he f50s review dropping
Soon!
Hey Noah, i just downloaded your size chart (such a good idea, thank you!), and noticed you are wearing a US 8.5 in the X-Fly 5 but a US 9 in the X-Fly Pro 2.
Based on your previous reviews and what I wear I think we have very similar size feet, as I am bang on 27cm and wearing Alpha MIJs in a 9 currently. So I'm interested in why you went true to size in the Pros vs X-Fly 5. Have watched your reviews on both boots but couldn't find you talking about the size difference in the two boots.
I want to get one of these two boots (in the Limited Edition synthetic as I play on some not great AG) but am gonna have to buy from Japan so really want to get the sizing rigjt first time! Cheers
I wear an 8.5 in the X Fly Pro 2 as well mate, that's my bad! Will fix that on the next round of edits!
@@NoahCavanaugh Oh, nice, that makes it so much simpler, thank mate! I'm still a bit torn about which to go for as you prefer the X-Fly 5 Limited Edition but Lockhart Bootblog says he prefers the X-Fly Pro LE because of the more aggressive sole plate. Think I'm just gonna have to pick one and see!
Don't know if you've seen but there are some absolutely sick Pro 2s in fluorescent yellow on tokyofootball, very tempting!
How do u get asics cleats in the US
@tokyofootball.sg on IG or on eBay
Better than NB 442 v2 pro?
Yes!
My foot measures exactly 26.5cm should I still go for a 8.5US or go for my normal 9US
Download my free size guide!
@@NoahCavanaugh thanks I will? While I have you, what’s your foot length?
Go for 9 mate. My foot measures 26.5. And i got a 8.5US. My toe fits to the end. But with 10.5cm foot width the toebox is way too cramped, my feet hurt a lot within minutes. Its to such a degree i don't see how stretching the leather will get it to the point of perfect fit. Its unfortunate, since shipping internationally i lose 40$ in duties and taxes when i send them back and i spent 3 hours trying on shoes comparing them to his sizing guide to get it right... I have no idea how Noah fits into the 8.5 it makes no sense to me. Guess its because hes just used to a more tight fit, plus he did say if you are usually a 9 with nike or adidas, then go for a 9 to make sure your feet aren't cramped to there we go, I should've listened to that. But i wanted to try this since Noah said it fits his foot perfect and my foot measures a bit smaller than his so I didn't think it would be a problem. True to size is what I would say for these cleats.
@@hanta7488 thank you! I got my foot scanned at a running store. If you haven't already, it paints the perfect picture of what should fit or not. I haven't gotten a shoe that doesn't fit properly since then.
@@bemopremo So I've done the freezing a bag of water in the shoe trick a couple times to try to stretch the leather. because its really just the toebox that is too tight for me, and its getting a lot better to the point where I think that it will work out with 8.5US in the end. I just need to break it in a lot... Out of the box the 9 would definitely fit a bit more proper overall. not to the point where it would overstretch. Both will fit, its just a matter of how tight/lose of a fit you really want in the end. I was just confused because Noahs fit well out the box and mine didn't fit at all. I genuinely though i'd have to return them
Are they wide?
Yep
These or Morelia 2 elite
For performance I’d go with these!
Damn. What a Wow colour ❤
Unreal aye 😍
better then mizuno morelia 2?
From a performance perspective, yes. But from an overall heritage perspective, no
Adidas F50 👍💨
Class!
Hey Noah, wondering if I should get these true to size or down size one? I fit perfectly using Phantom GX2 with true to size.
Did you watch the first 3 minutes of the review....?
Where can you buy these? never been able to find any for sale 😢
The link is LITERALLY in the description 😂💙
@@NoahCavanaugh omg, sorry man that is useless from me 😂
X fly pro 2 or x fly 5😂 which one wider？😅
X Fly 5
How this compare with the Mizuno Morelia II instead? Which one is more comfortable? And how about the lockdown?
Both are VERY comfortable mate! I'd say the Mizuno is a bit more durable but it's also thicker and less speedy feeling 😎
