Picking a football boot can be quite a challenge, especially if you haven’t found the one boot silo that you could stick with forever. If this is something you can relate to, then watching this video might be a good idea. JayMike has taken a look at two of the most popular football boots in the world and put them up against each other. He has done this to give a better overview of the control boot concept and make it easier for you to choose.

Before you watch the video let it just be said - personally I prefer the Nike Magista Obra. Whether that is because I have fairly wide feet I don’t know, but JayMike in any case says he prefers the adidas ACE 17+ PureControl. Then again, he does have feet that could fit in Cinderella’s slippers.
