Last week I switched from the NIKE Force Savage Pro men's soccer cleats to these while playing flag football for senior leagues. These Under Armor C1N boots are narrower than I expected but offer great ankle support without the added weight of traditional tall boots. The ankle strap is integrated into the back of the shoe and is adjustable with a Velcro strap. If you bandage your ankles before a game, which I don't, you can still bandage them separately as the strap never gets as tight as a sports band. However, if like me you only use high top cleats, they are amazingly effective and much lighter. They also have good toe flex and strong lugs that cut fairly well into the low turf you'll find at a high school football field like the one I use them on. All in all these are really good boots and probably worth the money.
