I wish Puma would make their MG boots more widely available. So hard to get in North America. Best AG plate out there, no question.
DEo you think AG is any better on AG than standard Turf shoes? I don't find it slippy. Maybe under the sole its better to have studs?
@@robertfitzpatrick2198 I don’t think it’s better in terms of traction. It more comes down to whether you want to feel like you’re wearing boots or a sneaker
AG/MG boots definitely worth the investment. Save your knees, ankles and match boots from getting ruined
I had been manifesting this video for the last 2 weeks. Thanks for covering!
my current favorite are the Asics DS light AG.
not only to they have great studs for AG, but they also have a bit of cushioning under the heel that really makes a big difference in harder / older AG pitches.
next best thing is probably somewhere between the puma MGs and UnoZeros. the Mizuno are also solid, but studs are a bit too long for me
I've been using Adidas Predator Accuracy+ AG for my artificial grass games and sometimes Mercurials but they're a little too tight. For FG games I was using Copa Pure, but after I decided to give Mizuno Alpha Elites a try I was immediately hooked. About to order the AG version to retire my Predators.
Love these AG boot videos. Great to learn about the stud patterns. I'd love to watch a follow up video for how durable these boots actually are. I only play on AG pitches and am trying to find the most durable boots where the soles aren't coming away after a few games. Cheers 👍
First of all, thank you for the wonderfully prepared and clear overview. I love your videos. I coach a few children's and youth teams myself, so the topic of football boots and the different styles is always an issue for us. Especially after the winter, when we get out of the hall and onto the pitch. For adults, we always recommend buying at least two pairs of shoes, as we often switch between artificial turf (or grass) and natural grass. For children, we tend to recommend MG shoes. Would you agree with that?
Speaking of clarity. I find the dozens of different types of shoes totally confusing and not in the interests of the customer. It's great for you because you can present more to us and we're happy to listen to you, but sometimes I long for the times around the turn of the millennium when the selection of shoes was simpler and clearer. Adidas in particular, which I personally have always liked in terms of fit and style, give me the impression that they don't really know where they want to go with AG shoes. I have the impression that style is being prioritised over functionality.
Great list! Very useful since it seems everyone needs AG these days. Is there any chance you can confirm that the sizing on these boots is the same as the FG version? In particular, is the Furon V7+ AG the same as the FG? I wear the FGs a 1/2 size up…
Hey Jay, I think we see a lot of request for wide forefoot boots comparison, may be you need to find someone with that configuration. I also have a wide forefoot and New Balance is the most comfy found so far but not happy with control
Great video Jay! Just wondering which of these boots are good for wide feet?
Hi, do you have any recommandations for hard ground? during the summer, on public pitches, many ground are tough to play with FG. Thanks.
Hey Jay, do you prefer the Phantom GX (lowtop) or Luna (hightop) ?
Thanks a lot for the video! I bought the Phantom GX2 ag. The boots are perfect and the feeling is wonderful. Perfect for my wide feets.
is Mizuno Morelia FG good for those artificial grass with black rubber dots? im aware that Mizuno FG is relatively short and very round and thick (kinda similar to copa mundial), also would you recommend copa Mundial on 3G pitches ?
Awesome video ❤ can you do one on a solo training session?
The best expirience on artificial grass I've had with Adidas Predator with Traxion HG sole plate, which was something between AG and TF, because they were boots with AG sole plate, but also had a layer of foam, so they were soft with very good traction
I'm currently using Puma ultra as my foot are a little bit thin. Will the Puma future ultimate 7 MG be too wide for me? Thank you
This great but can you do a kids version of bang for buck and mixed grounds as kids boots and soles plate are terrible to find a good all rounder.
Some days I use Adidas Freak+ TF on some easy games, but current go to is Adidas Accuracy .1 TF. Reason go with TF model is Adidas did not make any actual AG until newest model w 2G/3G & 4G. My feet doesn't fit current Nike and I want laceless model, so seeing Tekela V4 came laceless AG model I'm very interested.
Do you think the laces on the GX 2 affect using the outside of the boot to shoot or pass
Are alpha ag plate fit differently than FG? Do you think arch fit is like neo or Morelia 2?
Are the Adidas Copa Mundial, Adidas Copa Gloro and Mizuno Morelia IV beta elite good for AG?
I hope that you can do a version for turf boots in the future
I use Puma Future AG and Mizuno Morelia neo AG.
Both work quite good on natural grass too attleast on dry weather.
do you go true to size in both or do you go half size down ?
I have Morelia pro ag. Feels awesome but the damn irritating rubber pellets keep getting inside. Thinking of gluing the front portion of the tongue to prevent any gap.
Yo jay mike, are first copy football boots good?It'll be great if you make a video showcasing the difference between the real ones.
Mizuno Neo is very good as well,it is very light with some protection and very good in changing direction
I've been using the Copa Pure AG boots, but I ground off the edges of each stud making them rounder. I know this is a bit brutal and not everyone's thing, but it makes a good boot a really good boot. By the way, these video's are brilliant, Jay. Thank you.
You mean the 2g/3g boots?
@@woutvanderlinden9434No, the original stud pattern for AG.
would the mizuno morelia 4 elite make a difference compared to the alpha version?
Dude make a turf boot tier list, that's what we need
ag is turf
@@crimnvL turf is turf
Ag is ag
Research it before commenting
Turf its for futbol sala right? And for play in concrect in it
@@Skullmashers turf is more like a grass carpet on a concrete base
Ag fields have a lot more depth and are softer + the grass even though it is artificial it is completely different from turf
Dropping it in a few weeks, I've started testing! /Jay
What are your thoughts about the Diadora B elite tech fg?Thank you
Please make a video on how to lock ankle for pure power strike and curling technique
Hi JayMike, with your knowledge about Mizuno boots, why AG soleplate is not available in Japan? Only in US/Euro. Thanks for answering in advance.
Please make a vid covering natural grass boots, or best if you are playing on both natural and artificial grass since thats the case for a lot of footballers in europe. Thank you :)
Is the sizing the same for the FG and AG 4g predators
Would you say the new puma mg plate is better than the one used on the previous future
Thoughts on some of the best takedown models for ag?
I wanna make the purchase from Cambodia, as your fan, but I’m not sure that how can this delivery through dol or not
Are the futures closest to using turf shoes coz that's currently what im doing on AG pitches. I can't imagine the stiffer sole plates being as comfy as Turf shoes.
Really useful.
I just bought AG, went for the Phantom as the fit was better for me than the legends whilst the Futures seemed to slip in the heel.
One thing I noticed in UK, I could not find Phantom Pros in AG, so went for Academy as the elites at £220 just seemed to high for occasional pitches.
However I notice the academy studs are different, more of them and look smaller than the pro and elite models.
What are your thoughts on the academy AG?
Actually I realise the academy soleplate seems to just be the legend 9 soleplate so looks a good option
Would love to see the Adidas Crazyfast HG/AG boots that are sold in Japan, South Korea, etc. included in this list. They are a great and safe boot for AG surfaces and I have no idea why Adidas isn't selling them in US, UK and EU markets.
Does anyone know if there is any difference in the soleplate between the AG Mizuno Alpha Elites and MiJ?
Im midfilder and wingers puma future or Phantom GX?
I really love my Mizuno DNA, i know that it's an easy win, but i found them on sale and I'm very happy on ag and fg, coming from Morelia neo beta japan. I am now really concerned about my boots for next year, because I don't think I'm gonna be so lucky to find shoes of quality similar to DNA, and about the Alpha i am a bit concerned for my wide feet. Please give me an advise guys ❤
Does the Mizuno alpha AG have the KaRVO technology?
Thanks for this video, very important topic that still most people do not understand! Personally I would never wear FG on AG, currently using the Puma MG and my next boots I think will be the adidas 2G/3G as our pitch is really an older AG pitch. I'm really curious if Nike will bring out something like the Puma MG or Adidas 2g/3G, as they currently do not have anything that really compares to it, the Nike AG Pro stud plate is really only for high quality, new AG pitches
Yeah, I really want to buy the Addidas 2G/3G beceuse I think durability and feel on the ground is important. I feel like the studes un the nike options are just going to wear down too much and have a too agressive feel. I'm so afraid of buying though because he says "they feel nothing like the 4G option". I also think that he plays more compettetive and on 11v11 pitches that are high quality, I play on a 7v7 pitch that's not that high quality.
Bro even prefered the preditor TF(Turf) over the 2G/3G😳
@@winstongezelius9442 yea indeed sounds slightly concerning haha. I am really torn between the adidas 2g/3g and the puma MG tooling - i think both are good for shitty/old AG pitches
@@GSicKz I’ve heard many people saying the Puma MG boots are the best they ever had, do you agree? What’s your opinion on them since you use them right?
@@winstongezelius9442 Yes theyre very nice, you can use them on:
- older AG pitches
- new AG pitches
- hard natural grass pitches (when its dry and the ground is hard)
If i find a really good deal for some adidas 2g/3g I might buy them just to try it out, but otherwise I would go again with Puma MG I think, they are also a bit cheaper and just more versatile/suitable for more playing surfaces I think
Do you notice a difference in the feel and sizing between Future's FG/AG and MG soleplates? I think the shape and especially the higher edges of MG soleplate make for a bit different and a bit tighter experience.
I'd just love Puma to maintain the shape of the soleplate while keeping the studs length (and number of them)
I did. Been using Future Z 3.4 with FG studs (44 EU), I ordered white & red Ultra Match with MG studs (44,5 EU) and despite going half a size up, they are absolutely destroying my feet in the forefoot/toebox area just during the tryout, even with soleplate being just a tiny bit longer
As you pointed out, higher edges do play a role and I think that they somewhat limit the ability of upper to stretch during movement, and/or there is not enough material to compensate stiff edges that our toes push against
I loved the stud pattern, even on hard floor I wasn't able to make these boots cause any kind of individual stud pressure. Shame I have to return them due to so big differences in fit & feel
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Been wearing Puma Future MG for 2 years now. From the US and most games are on AG. How would the Alpha Japans perform on FG?
They're decent on FG, too - a bit more gentle, but definitely do the job. They're nowhere near as aggressive as the Alpha Japan FG, but it's a matter of taste. A softer FG pitch would probably challenge the traction bit though, especially in the forefoot. /Jay
Thank you, love the videos and the site!
Shout out to the old AG-R outsole on older Nike boots. Had that on my Magista Opus And it was fantastic.
I also have the Mizuno Alpha Elite AG and they have been great boots.
Yeah, I have the Nike Vapor 14 Elite AG, I’m glad I bought them because they look safer than the Vapor 15 Elite AG-PRO. The good thing is that Nike still offers the AG-R style soleplate on their Academy models.
About the Mizuno Alpha AG: I wonder how they compare to the FG version since on the FGs the soleplate is also part of the heel counter (external heel counter) but it’s not on the AG version. Can the difference be felt?
I have trouble finding AG boots in the US. When I am in Europe much easier to get. Especially Nike. I know some don’t believe it but I am firm believer of AG boots on artificial.
I play solely on AG and jumped from FG to AG based on one of your previous videos. I had always been an Adidas loyalist but jumped ship to Nike based on their superior AG soleplate. I initially got tiempos but they rubbed around the laces and were super uncomfortable but gave Nike another shot and moved to Vapor Pros. I loved them so much I bought a second pair.
Unfortunately, I drag my toes and I go through boots pretty quickly when the soleplate starts to come away from the upper. I’m open to trying something new but nothing else I’ve founds seems to deliver in that ‘Pro’ level price range. Would love advice/suggestions if people have them.
Yeah that's my biggest problem with the soleplate getting wore down. Do you think the Addidas preditor elite 2G/3G is a solution to that, with much better durability?
I got the Puma Future Ultimate MGs just before Christmas and I've had to send them back because the outsole had already started coming away from the upper at the toe. Such a shame as apart from that I loved them. I'd be interested to hear of anyone else had this issue or if it was a one-off.
I am wearing them for over a year now and i play 5 times a week, so i think it was just unlucky.
You guys should try Asics DS light . I swear they are better than my hypervenom elite .
The latest generation Mercurial Elites AG-Pro outsole is susceptible to cracks. I read about those a bit online, decided to still go for it thinking it might be a few isolated cases, then after 2 training sessions a crack started to develop, had to send them back. It's a shame, because I really liked the Air Zoom sensation.
Could you make some recs for good takedown/budget friendly AG options? Recently got some alpha elites for FG. Don’t want to ruin them right away or blow the warranty, but also not made of money so keen to get a more affordable pair of AG’s as I play on both surfaces. Ideally something durable but not too chunky feeling 🤷♀️
Puma future pro mg is really good
would love to see a video on boots for those who play on AG and FG and need one pair for both! Great video, keep up the good work!!
didn't he say the legend 10 and phantom for that?
Always been weary about the hollowed out studs. I feel like something on the pitch will get stuck in them (rubber pullets, ag grass stems), and will cause the boot to get stuck, increasing potential for injury. Also, would definitely not wear them on real grass, since dirt, mud, grass, will probably get stuck in them and cause traction issues. There’s also the unpleasant task of trying to clean those things out after a match. Maybe I’m just being paranoid. If someone is out there with experience with hollowed out studs, please comment. I’d like to hear your perspective. TY.
How is the neo morelia ag compared to the alpha?
Please review Predator Elite turf! 😊
hi love the vid but i was wondering if u can make a video for best AG boost for wide feet?
I have wide flat feet. Go for the Adidas 2g/3g
@@tn7328 Do you use them? Please tell me if you recomend because I get so scared to buy them when he says "feels nothing like the 4G option". Also i play on a 7v7 pitch with not that good quality wich makes durability a bit more important than other factors maybe. I feel like he's talking from a more compettitive point of view, playing on 11v11 pitches with high quality.
@@winstongezelius9442 I'd say try them on. I have very particular feet, and most shoes I find uncomfortable. The Adidas 2g/3g were great at the start, but as I've bought more boots I'm finding I don't really use them anymore. I don't like the feeling of the upper when I strike the ball, the boots are a lot heavier and a bit clunkier than others, so you won't really get that nimble feeling. There's more than enough traction in the wet. Personally I wouldn't buy them again. I'm currently rotating between a Morelia elite beta jpn and puma king pro TT.
Make an indoor/futsal list as well please
Hey Unisport! Can you tell us which boots you would choose if you wanted the new predators but you woukd play on the 2g artificial grass? The turf version or the 2g/3g? Is one heavier/bulkier than the other? Or maybe both boots suck and you would go with something else? I was really hoping the 2g/3g is the answer because the turf outsole feels so much different than FG boots:/ I have puma future pro MG and they are great for AG outside high quality field we play on but for the indoor turf, my feet are overworked in those, as if there was not enough support or something...
Hey man, I'd personally go with the Predator Elite TF if I'm honest. I really dislike the fit and feel on the 2G/3G option, so while the stud shape and placement is better than the 4G AG version, I don't really like to wear the 2G/3G version. TF does have a bit extra bulk because of the midsole, but given the extra support you get, I'd live with that compromise and prefer that to the 2G/3G AG boot. /Jay

@unisport thank you Jay for your reply! I actually got the Puma Future Pros MG from your store! I will consider the TF preds then.
@@unisport Damn you really don't like the predator 2g/3g🤣
Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Pro or Puma Future 7 Pro?
I've had Made in Japan's but I'm not paying £300 for AG boots. Mizuno Monarcida AG........ About £60 and are actually really good. They do a turf option for a similar price and they are also very good.
What about the Mizuno Morelia Neo 3 Pro Ag?
Can you do this for FG boots
The puma king ultimate mg is absolutely wonderful feeling to my feet and knees
I have pair of Puma future elite MG s I recommending them all day
Is it late to become a professional footballer in your early 30s such as 30 31 or 32 if you have the talent and style to play ?
I’ve tried playing in Nike Mercurial Elite AG-PRO (the sole collapsed within two weeks), Nike Phantom GX Elite AG-PRO (too stiff), Adidas Copa Pure 1.0 FG (great, but the toe ripped). Currently, I’m wearing Puma Future Ultimate MG - the best boots I’ve ever worn. The next pair will be Mizuno Elite
Thanks for sharing, what version of the Puma´s?
PUMA Future Ultimate MG Supercharge - Blue Glimmer/PUMA White/Ultra Orange
I don’t see much difference between PUMA Future Ultimate MG Supercharge and PUMA Future Ultimate latest version
Nike premier 3 fg are the best for Astro. Hard to get leather and ag but they are the best
I would wear turf shoes on this type of surface, the cushioning is worth the trade off of slightly less traction
agree, actually I don't really see difference in traction. For most of us amateurs, this is no difference.
@Unisport, what about FG/AG? Can it be used in Artificial ground?
AG means artificial ground
Can I put your product link in my video?
That MG plate on Puma looks incredible. Remind me of the AG plate Nike used to use even on the previous tiempo. That is the best plate. Now I just wish Puma would have a leather boot option with that soleplate and I'd buy it 100%. Also none of this fake leather bs...
i use tf boots on ag pitches. i find the presence of the midsole to make a huge difference to impact mitigation. neither fg nor ag boots have midsoles.
Is turf boots better?
The studs are very short so it’s safer and they work on ag as well
check out the Asics DS light Pro AG to get the best of both worlds
please make a indoor football shoes, need that!
What if i trim the fg boots?
I love playing on this old school turf, when you get up from the "grass" with a face covered with that Russian black caviar on the face.
Still, I cannot see any difference in boots for AG and FG pitches. In South Korea, I played on the last-generation AG's, even chevron studs work extremely well, same feeling as on natural grass but very flat and even with much smaller risks of foot & knee injuries.
What abou copas 2 AG ? In terms of safety. :)
Hi All! Appreciate reading my post. I play in an amateur league twice a week. Most of the time on the 3G pitch with rubber pellets and FG field during summer. Post ACL injury/surgery 6 years ago, so very careful with my movement/dribbling and physical contact.
I haven't really bought any new cleats since the injury (ex-Obra II user). The choice comes between Puma Future Ultimate MG and Phantom Luna II AG-Pro. Both fit my feet very well, I like the Puma Future snug fit, but the sizing could be better. What do you think is the best AG/FG combo with these two boots? I've noticed that Puma's MG studs are short and might not work well on FG field, while Nike's AG-Pro are longer and should work on both AG and FG. I want to buy one Elite pair for all types rather than two Pro pairs. Big thank you in advance!
how do you know what generation your pitch is?
@@winstongezelius9442 rubber pellets and quality
are fg/mg boots fine for 4g turf
Only play on ag ground which one you recommend between predator 2g/3g or Nike tiempo ag
And which one have shorter stud / Thank you
The exact situation I'm in right now😅I want to go for the predator 2g/3g but he doesn't seem to like them at all but I think durability and stability is more important to me cuz I play on a 7v7 pitch with not that good quallity. Feel like the Nike tiempo's are going to get worn out to quickely
@@winstongezelius9442 very difficult discussion I try tiempo ag from my friend it good fit (+.5 cm size) and light weight , good stud for ag filed
Not have predator 2g/3g to try in my country but i see many review all talk about heavy weight and I’m not sure how stud are good on many stud and shape of stud
maybe I go for timepo but concern about durability ( my pitch not bad quality I think it will be ok )
I can highly recommend the puma mg. Durability is good, the boot still wraps your foot well. I play on 3g .
how do you know what generation your pitch is?
In VietNam we have Tiempo 10 Tf, Phantom GX 1 tf, Nike Mercurial TF, and X Crazyfast in top 5
I really fancy some predators but all the new AG pitches locally are being advised as 3G and i dont think i want super chunky boots so a little worried about the 4G version.
The 3g ones are quite bulky.
I just got the tiempo 10 pro with the AG sole. Its a great boot. Excellent for wide feet. I wish i wouldve gone wiht black though. The yellow version is already black from the rubber pallets 😂😂😂
Do you use them on FG as well?
Hi , I have a 11 year old son . He plays as a striker and usually he plays in 2G , 3G and sometimes in 4G artificial pitches. He keeps me asking to buy a top quallity AG soccer cleats. Which one do you recommend ?
nike mercurial vapor 15 is really good
Can you try soccer shoes from Indonesia?
I mix Puma Future AG and Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Pro
Very displeased with the shipping of unisport. I order a week ago my new cleats and they haven’t even been picked up by fed ex. Seems like this happens a lot
I am still beyond annoyed why Adidas refuses to make more than one color for AG. Really want that blackout or pearl white one, but no AG option? and none of the AG options have a tongue?
just get older models of addidas TF - like Kaiser. Really TF works great on AG. Actually I think making distinction between AG and TF is just marketing. F boots are really better for your knees - more stable.
Do the alpha AG's have internal heel counter vs elite FG?
Yes, the AG Alpha is an internal heel counter. /Jay
Anyone notice durability issues in the new pred? My 4g ag ones ripped after like 2 weeks of playing on turf
I’ve worn my quite a lot and haven’t had any issues yet, but sorry to hear that! Send them back. /Jay
wish i would’ve seen this video before pulling my hamstring on a turf field saturday 😭😂
Guys i need yalls help in making a decision between 2 pairs of cleats
Mate, the future ultimate shows FG/AG. It doesnt have the conical studs tho. Whats your take on that?
That’s basically PUMA extending the warranty if you use it on AG. If you use Nike or adidas FG on AG you lose the warranty and can’t send them back if they fall apart. With PUMA, you can, but they’re not great for AG if I’m honest. I personally feel they should remove that and just call it what it is - FG. /Jay
@unisport Thanks for your insight, mate. Cheers.
Regards all the way from India.
@@unisport and how on earth the shop would know that you played on AG with your FG boots? Jay, please..
my tiempo legend 10 ag was broken less than one month🙃
20 years of playing FG boot on AG for me , never had any injury problems
Youre lucky. Ive always risked it since i was young because i was used to playing with FG on AG. One wrong turn and your foot gets stuck like mine did. I got lucky and only sprined my MCL (out for 1 month) but you can sprain other crucial ligaments or even worse tear one of them.
Don’t get the puma future MG if you live in the states. Got them and the inner sole plate material cracked half way through my season (I play only on ag grass). I reached out to unisport and they said it was “normal wear and tear”. Very disappointing as I had really high hopes for this cleat as well as high hopes for Unisport’s customer service.
