Who doesn't love a good bargain?
We certainly do and are always on the look out for the best deals.
Our favourite places for getting football boots online are Pro direct soccer and Lifestyle sports as they always have great deals/discounts.
This time we checked out the Clearance section on Lifestyle sports where we found a pair of
Nike Magista Onda Firm ground football boots for
Only 25 Euro!!
And they are Adult size too...
Now, personally I (Fiona) have never been a fan of this particular model and the colours always seemed a bit over the top for me, but we decided to buy them and use them to customise and see if we could turn them into something better. After all, Who could say no for €25?
They arrived the following day by courier (Which is another reason for loving Lifestyle sports, they do next day delivery in Ireland which is fantastic)
The first impression of these boots was that they were actually extremely eye catching in person. They never really impressed us much looking at them on a computer screen, however we were pleasantly surprised when we un-boxed these.
So let's take a look at some info on the boot according to the lifestyle sports description
(Now I am not entirely sure it is 100% correct)

Being so impressed by the look of these boots and how soft the material felt I decided to actually try them out at training later on that night.
Originally I planned to just go right ahead and customise them as I didn't buy them because I liked them, But...
When I put the boots on they felt great, they were the perfect fit and extremely comfortable from the get go.
Usually it takes a while for me to break in new boots and the first couple of training sessions they tend to be painful. However, these fit so perfectly there was no break in time at all.
The touch on the ball was also great due to the design and material the boots are made from.
The material is strong and the soul plate is flexible making them extremely comfortable to kick the ball and to run in.
In my opinion, these football boots are ideal for defenders, you can feel comfortable going in for those hard tackles knowing that the boots are strong enough to offer protection while still giving you a great touch on the ball.
I have been wearing these for a few weeks now and I am still very impressed, even to the point I don't currently want to try out any other boots.
But hey being a blogger you have to change it up!
