Adding the boot review into a training session has to be one of the better ideas done in awhile. It kills two birds with one stone and you don’t even feel that the video is longer. Big up Noah.
Part of the Japanese culture at least for soccer shoes stores, the clerks are extremely knowledgable about their products (at least the three that I've visited in Tokyo and Osaka) and work really hard to get you the shoes that fit you best rather than what looks the flashiest. That might be the reason why ergonomics are such strength of these brands.
@@NoahCavanaugh you have to put the whole of Asia on your bucket list. Japan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and of course China. I see drones flying with packages outside of my Shenzhen China office window and I buy and pick up my McDonald's breakfast out from behind wall of class cubby holes, all app control. All business are done with your phone, literally, including paying busboy a small tip as he wears a QR code on his shoulder patch. Its a different world here.
when I bought my mizuno 8 years ago in Japan.. he took me to the back where I could run on a small ag field and shoot ball and stuff before making a final decision. The guy even asked me what my playing style was and what position i played and stuff, then teaches me how to apply mink oil and cleaning cream.. 8 years later today im still wearing these babies
Man that color looks oh my dayz amazing! Thanks for taking the time to do this stuff man. Can’t wait to see footage of your first official game. Can’t wait to see which boots makes the match.
That's a good point about minor tweaks to boots that have been around for a while making them better. Love these drills as well, I should do them too! I do think the boots can be improved somewhat though. Also, I have that same thing where my bone sticks out on the side.
Yeah it's a weird one for sure, I reckon the materials they have could still work well for a more neutral shape and fit! That's why it's a bit hit or miss with this type of boot construction (leather forefoot, synthetic midfoot). The DS Light X Fly 5 is by FAR and away the best boot for me with that same build formula.
I bought Mizuno Morelia ii(Made in Vietnam) 3 days ago..damn..for a classic boots..its so light..so soft. so good. Looking forward to buy this Morelia Neo next year. Gotta save some money 💪.
I wear two pairs of socks to help avoid getting heel blisters, and I recently started using Injinji toe socks as my light underneath pair to make sure I don't get any blisters from my toes getting pressed together. That's happened to me a couple of times when the 2nd toe on my left foot got jammed into the big toe.
Awesome detail review. Thanks, once again. Trying to convince my 16-year-old son to get these instead of the Nike Mercurial, but he is very stubborn. I would rather spend the money on these.
I ordered this model in the Elite version and after 2 weeks the stitching started to come off front.... Ima return them and and get a new pair of the same
u have done all the morelia's. I have worn monarcida due to lower cost and apparently better for wider feet and better heel area (imo). Would love to see your review on the Monarcida 2 or 3 elite!
Hey noah, how would go about poking a new lace hole?Any tips? 2:39 I had an idea of wanting to do it on my f50 remakes that I got laying around and maybe these cleats in the future possibly.
I’m looking at getting the black and gold version if these. I am usually a size US 8 and have a narrow foot, what size would you recommend I go for as I won’t be able to try them on? Also do you know if there are any new boot drops coming soon from mizuno? Thanks for the review! Great video! 😄😄
Can you really wear mizunos on ag durability wise, because i bought a mizuno morelia neo 4 beta elite and it feels that the soleplate could seperate pretty easily from the upper?
i have both elite and MIJ and actually i would recommend be cautious with your elite to use on turf. they are quite different built quality imo. my MIJ has no issues except for the lil toe leather comes off (skin wise) but the right pair of elite already got apart on the side upper, toe box area. The left pair seems well made. The right pair already seemed sluggish when I got them for the first time and I was not wrong in the end.😅
Love the content bro! Just a question with such quality upper would you classify this boot as an excellent touch and control boot as well as just being a speed boot?
I just bought the betas in the launch colorway and the fit decent except the ankle flares out a lot on the lateral sides of the boots. Should I keep them or return them?
Hey Noah, I’ve just been looking to get a pair of tekela v4 lows as their on sale in an SG model, I have almost the exact same foot shape as you (ridiculously wide midfoot, narrow heal and slightly wide toebox). Do you think the standard fit in a half a size up from my usual size will be okay ? In the UK I can’t seem to find the wide fit anywhere. Thank you !
I bought the puma futures in a size 10.5 because I previously purchased the puma ultras in a size 11 and they were a bit big. Should I get a size 10.5 in these? I wear a size 11 in all nike cleats along with adidas cleats I also wear a size 11. Should i go true to size in these or a 1/2 size down?
These boots are on sale right now in my country, im thanking about getting the elites or what is really the difference between the made in japans, ive wore some really crappy boots in the past like the addidas crazyfast.2 so it will probably be such a high difference whats so ever,for me who wants a barefoot feel and a little wider feet,or what do you recommend
how is the protection on the upper? I always feel more comfortable knowing that leather is over my foot, but im curious because the boot is so light, if it protects the foot as strongly in comparison to other leather pairs.
Hi Noah! Could you help me out with sizing please. I always go half a size down in mizuno beta (as you used to do in previous generations). Would you recommend me going half a size down in skechers razor as well? 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey Noah. I have a 11 boy called Noah too and he is playing soccer . Would you recommend the Mizuno Morelia Neo 4 Beta Made In Japan for Artificial Grass ?
That's fantastic! As long as they fit his feet, then these will be just fine for AG. At 11 years old though, I think it's probably better to go for the Elite model or the TF/AG model while he's still growing.
Awesome man! What are your current thoughts of the gx2? Me personally I think Nike has completely confused me as they combined a boot for women and a boot for men and combined into one boot a low (phantoms) and high (Lunas) as they did with the mercurials. Also heard they’re more of a chill and loose feel but has lockdown rather than the gx. We’ll see if you’ll review them coming out in Jan. 11. Great Playtest as well!🎉
Hi Noah, i am 9.5UK size , which is 10US with adidas. However with Mizuno 10US is 9UK . Can you please tell me if your adidas boots that you wearing is the same same as your mizuno boots in US sizing? Cheers
@@NoahCavanaughare the studs (especially in the heel) shorter than the ASICS DS X Fly 5 Ltd? I really love the comfort of the ASICS and Japanese style boot (leather forefoot/synthetic midfoot), but the studs are too long and clingy for the AG my league uses. So wondering if these are slightly shorter studs and safer
Absolutely fair mate, and no I haven't! Looking to start getting into those as well. I've heard they're 90% of what the MIJ products are for 1/3 less $$ which is awesome.
I do. They’re way stiffer out of the box than the Japan ones in the toe area, but once broken in (30 min) they feel great. They’re also thinner and have less padding in the front
Those balls make a terrible plastic sound. No substitution for a mid to top tier SELECT. Just ordered the NEO IV Elites. Missed the touch on the ALPHA elites a bit.
Hmmm will have to disagree with you on that one - I love Select but there are some GREAT footballs out there including these from Adidas. Enjoy those Neo IV!

Couldn’t agree more - Kamo in Tokyo’s the best footy store I’ve been to for that exact reason!

😂 Definitely an Oh My Dayz rating! Excellent vibrancy and look
Really like the closeup footage you can see how well the boot fits and takes the shape of the feet.

Just ordered These After my father recommended them and im really hyped for them to arrive🔥
Love that mate!! Stoked for you
@@NoahCavanaugh Thank you will comment how i like them
@@lennartjhg2015 how are they?
Awesome detail review. Thanks, once again. Trying to convince my 16-year-old son to get these instead of the Nike Mercurial, but he is very stubborn. I would rather spend the money on these.
Definitely! I hope for his sake he fits in the Mercs 😅 That's not a very forgiving boot
I love all your videos Noah! A big fan all the way from Singapore! You are consistent in uploading videos! I love it, god bless you!
Thank you mate! 🔥
The X.99 take is spot on, which is why it was so disappointing. If we could have the Morelia Neo on that X soleplate, I’d be so happy.
😎 What a boot THAT would be!
Really like your videos
Love from France
Thank you mate 🤝🇫🇷
I got these as well and my only complaint is that i wish the studs were more aggressive for real grass fields. Even Tiempos feel more grippy for me.
Fair enough mate!
I wear size 9 with mercurial vapor super fly what size to you recommend on this ?
9 as well unless you have thin feet, then go down 1/2 size
I ordered this model in the Elite version and after 2 weeks the stitching started to come off front.... Ima return them and and get a new pair of the same

A class colorway! I'd probably go 1/2 size down if you have thinner feet mate 🤝 New colorways dropping now!
@@NoahCavanaugh Thanks mate
@@NoahCavanaugh Hey mate, How do we see when new colour ways are dropping? can’t seem to find new ones on mizuno website, cheers
Hey, loved the video.I have a narrow feet..should I go with this ones or the nike mercurial vapor 16 elite fg's?
You'd be fine with either mate! Whichever one suits your needs the best 🤝
Can you really wear mizunos on ag durability wise, because i bought a mizuno morelia neo 4 beta elite and it feels that the soleplate could seperate pretty easily from the upper?

Fair enough mate! If they fit you okay, then it’s up to you to decide whether the bowing around the ankle bothers you!
What do you think is the best alternatives to this? Great video

That's awesome mate! The MIJ are more premium, better build quality, and usually a better overall on feet experience.
Is overstretching a concern on leather football boots??after how long does this happen.
A little bit mate, but not a ton
Do you think the takedown models are still comfy and nice?
Haven't tried them mate!
Hey Noah, can you also make a review on the elite version of these boots not the made in Japan.
I'll do my best brother
I wear a 7.5 in Alpha MIJ. Should i go 7.5 in the neo iv? Thanks
Yes
would you recommend true to size for these boots. Current boots and my normal size is a 9
Yes, exactly 👍🏼
hi Noah are the mizuno morelio neo 4 beta mij good at durability?
Stay tuned for the 1 Month Review!
The latest Preds(laced) or these for a game boot ?
Also any chance of playtesting the Mizuno Morelia 2 and Mizuno Morelia DNA btw?
The preds might be for sure, I'm not sure if these will be yet 🤝
Unsure on the Morelias! Maybe the DNA!
Hi Noah! Would you prefer these over the copa 2+?
Yes, I do!
What would you recommend more. The Phantom GX or the Predstrike Elite? Love your vids
Totally depends on your foot shape mate
Which one would be better for a wide foot?
@@UrbestieElligx easily
how is the protection on the upper? I always feel more comfortable knowing that leather is over my foot, but im curious because the boot is so light, if it protects the foot as strongly in comparison to other leather pairs.
It’s not very protective, but that’s football mate! You’ll get kicked sometimes
@@NoahCavanaugh 😆
Is Moriela or Alpha more comfortable?
Which do you recommend, Alpha or Moriela?
Morelia is generally more comfortable because of the leather
how does the sizing compare to the nike premier 3
Similar
@@NoahCavanaugh If i have the tiempo 10 pro should I order the same size as them?
Hi Noah! Could you help me out with sizing please. I always go half a size down in mizuno beta (as you used to do in previous generations). Would you recommend me going half a size down in skechers razor as well?
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would go with the same size if you've worn the previous generation of these. Go true to size with the Razor
Can you review the non-Beta version of mizuno neo 4?
Yes, already on the way
Heey, which mizuno boots u recommend for a goalkeeper?
Any Mizuno boot that fits your foot!
Hey Noah. I have a 11 boy called Noah too and he is playing soccer . Would you recommend the Mizuno Morelia Neo 4 Beta Made In Japan for Artificial Grass ?
That's fantastic! As long as they fit his feet, then these will be just fine for AG. At 11 years old though, I think it's probably better to go for the Elite model or the TF/AG model while he's still growing.
Good job pal, i subscribed
Thanks mate!
Should I get the Neo 4s or 2s
Whichever fit you the best! Neo 4 have a more modern feel, Morelia 2 have a more classic comfortable feel

Hi Noah, i am 9.5UK size , which is 10US with adidas. However with Mizuno 10US is 9UK . Can you please tell me if your adidas boots that you wearing is the same same as your mizuno boots in US sizing? Cheers

I know the neo 4s are amazing but how big a difference is there from the 3s? Seeing as i can get the 3s for around half price
Unless you care a TON about the newest generation, go for the 3s and you won't be disappointed 🫡
Is there a big difference between the European/US version compared to these Japanese versions?
The MIJ vs. Elite models? yes. quality of materials, build, etc. The Elites are still excellent, just not quite MIJ quality
My size in adidas is EU 40 2/3, mizuno worth the same size?
Yes
not the same EU size because mizuno 42 is us9 and nike 42 1/2 is us9
Would u recommend these or Alphas for someone with wide feet
These, but if you’ve got super wide feet, probably neither 😂
can u do a review on the non beta version on these morellia 4?
Yes! Coming soon
I know you've recommended other mizzunos as well which Japanese version is your favorite as a wide foot player?
Probably Morelia 2 or Morelia Neo 4
@NoahCavanaugh thank you....i love your channel even more now you're an actual replier.
@NoahCavanaugh just the 4 or beta? Son wants full clarification
what’s your favorite mizuno boot?
Morelia DNA
Hey Noah, please can you review the new Adidas Copa Icon. Interested to see how it compares to something like a Morelia 2
I’ll do my best! Most likely it’s a decent boot but almost nothing compares to the Morelia 2 🤝
You have any experience with the non-Japan ones? $200 is more justifiable to my wallet to $320 lol
