There here, finally, I have finally got my hands on new boots and they are none other than the new Puma EvoPower boots. This will be my first impression write up; I have only played in these boots twice now. So far the boot has impressed me a lot just by the look of it. The good people of Puma have been buzzing about these new cleats and what they can offer the player on the field.

When looking at these boots for the first time, they appear to be an amalgamation of the Puma cleats today. The combination of the EvoSpeeds, Powercats, and the Puma Kings some claim. When unboxing the boot for the first time my first impression was "humbling" with all the black as opposed to the new "flashy" boots of today. There is nothing wrong with "flashy" boots but something different is a nice thing when you look for variety in the cleat market today.

This boot boasts a handful of interesting attributes and qualities that should give the modern footballer the edge they desire. Forwards of today always brag about one thing in their shoe and that is the strike surface to their boot. The Puma EvoPowers boast the use of Accufoam inserts which are supposed to provide a smooth striking surface. The Accufoam inserts are in fact somewhat noticeable on the bright orange boot. The blackout leather edition on the other hand the only way of noticing the Accufoam inserts is by looking close up. The EvoPower’s also treasure a particular feature, the Gradual Stability Frame, which is boasts a capability of being super flexible.

On to the important attribute (well important for me since I have a tendency to rip my cleats at this exact spot every time) the EverFit External Cage. The Everfit External Cage is alleged to add stability in the middle of the foot, which should help with all aspects to the game and one's performance on the field. Finally on to the AdaptLite one-way stretchable upper, which is supposed to allow maximum flexibility to one's foot when striking the ball.

In the upcoming week I will be putting these boots to the test, playing in as many games as one possibly can. In order to best describe the feeling of the boot when it comes to the boots level of comfort, first touch, striking capability and strength overall. Stay in touch to catch my field test review soon!

Special Thanks to Michelle and Ariela of Puma for the opportunity to try these bad boys out.
