REVIEW: We tested these cleats out, and comfort is written all over them. They act like a second skin, don't pinch at the toes, and are simply super comfortable. The cool blue marries so well with the white and neon yellow, so these cleats don't miss out on style points, either. They also feel sturdy, so you know they're going to last you a long time.

They come in fresh new shades of blue to ring in the new year, and we already know they're going to look ace on the pitch.

REVIEW: We've tested out the Furon V7+, and first of all, the colorway is stunning. If you're looking for something to stand out on the pitch, these are an excellent choice. We would advise sizing up on these, as they might fit smaller than other boots. But they have excellent traction on grass—especially on wet and muddy days. Plus, controlling the ball is a real positive experience with these.
