I'm an experienced soccer player so my movements aren't particularly graceful and conservative. That being said, I was a bit dismayed when I quickly changed direction during a soccer tournament and my foot exploded under these boots. I wore sneakers for the rest of the games. I could buy them again but when I contacted Revain they told me to contact the manufacturer which I was too lazy to do. So $35 per game is premium boots! Stupid kangaroos!
