PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe
We are here to review the PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe, which is a pretty decent soccer cleat that comes in at a very affordable price.
Who is this product for?
The PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe is a soccer shoe you would get if you are playing in a house league, or maybe even for a slightly more serious player. No, it’s not the most expensive or most advanced soccer shoe around, but none the less, it does have some cool and useful features, and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
What’s included?
When you purchase the PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe, you get a soccer shoe made out of this fairly modern Adaplite material. The shoe has outsole studs designed for fairly firm outdoor soccer fields. As you will see below, there are quite a few other cool features included here too.
Overview of features
The PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe has a lot of cool features that are worth mentioning. One thing worth noting about this soccer shoe is that it features an upper which is made out of Adaplite, a material that is very durable. It can stretch for comfort and flexibility, and it is very lightweight too. Sure, real leather is nice, but it seems as though this Adaplite material is perfect for a soccer shoe in more or less every way possible. It will last for a long time, it provides your feet with some flexibility, and it does not weigh too much. Furthermore, the PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe comes with a so-called Spandex sock which helps provide you with a bit more flexibility and maneuverability.
The PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe also features accufoam 3D Griptex dots on the outside and inside of the toe of the shoe. These are little dots which help to grip the soccer ball when you touch it, thus providing you with much better accuracy when kicking, and better ball control too. It’s a really neat feature indeed. In fact, the PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe has the perfect shape for proper soccer ball control. Moreover, the PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe has an anatomically designed outsole in order to maximize both kicking velocity, agility, and speed.
What is also worth mentioning about the PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe is that it comes with a stud pattern that is perfect for outdoor use. This is the kind of soccer shoe that you would wear to play soccer on a firm outdoor grass field. The PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe is made with so-called gradual stability frame technology to provide you with good balance and stability, plus it also has a nice midsole designed to maximize energy transfer, provide you with a soft cushion to walk on, and helps with impact absorption.
Tutorial
This is a soccer cleat and there is really not much to say in the ways of a tutorial here. Just make sure that you get the right size of the PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe, wear ideal socks inside of it, and tie it tight enough so that your feet don’t move around on the inside of it.
Pros
- Lightweight
- Great for ball control
- Ideal for outdoor grass fields
- Very flexible and comfortable
Cons
- Fairly long break in period
- Sizes can run rather small
Alternatives
In case you are not a fan of the PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe, and might want something made of leather, you could always take a look at the Adidas Men's Copa Gloro 19.2 Firm Ground Soccer Shoe. This shoe has a combination leather and synthetic upper which is both highly durable and breathable, plus very flexible too. Simply put, some people would just rather have a real leather soccer shoe.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, we think that the PUMA Men's Evopower Vigor 1 FG Soccer Shoe is a perfectly fine soccer shoe to go with. No, it is not the most advanced option around. It might not be something that a pro FIFA player would wear, but it should be more than fine for basic soccer playing, plus it won’t cost you a fortune either.
