‘I can honestly say that I have never worn anything like it before’ The most comfortable football boots money can buy aren’t by any of the so-called big brands

The football boot market is awash with choice. Several brands of varying sizes jostle for position with the technology reaching a place where high-quality, comfortable options are in no shortage.

However, the biggest and most established manufacturers still enjoy significant dominance, with many opting for these almost by default. While it is hard to go wrong with an elite boot by a Nike or Adidas, these are not necessarily the best quality options available to you if you are looking for a new football boot and are certainly not the most comfortable.

This honour belongs to a brand that many know of but relatively few have tried – Japanese brand Mizuno and more specifically their Made in Japan range of football boots.
