With the arrival of New Balance boots it's the Visaro that has been enrolled as the lead asset for the brand but what's it got to offer? Designed as an FG boot, that is where they are at their optimal best but don’t rule out using these on AG. So often, new brands fail to see the importance of getting their message out to players far and wide. The comfort is largely unaffected, and the build of the plate helps aid in the boot’s responsiveness and is extremely durable/dependable. A lot of the fundamentals found on the original stay in place, with NB adding some new pieces to take them to another level.

Before digging into this review, I think there it is important to go over the release details that New Balance has offered on the silo, as it gives you some in-sight into how they perceive the boots. The colors coated the different regions of the boot, giving them the opportunity to label each region.The sole plate of the Visaro is designed with flexibility in mind, for twisting, turning and 360-degree movements. What they are trying to emphasize is the fact the style is a 1-piece upper (with no stitching) and the fit mimics a moccasin shoe where the sole is soft and flexible and the upper is intended to stand out. Plus, a high abrasion toe cap and heel counter give superior durability, so you can stay on your game match after match.

Choose from an array of fresh colourways and special editions – including classic neons and sleek black and whites – for football boots that look as slick and professional as they feel. While the upper material feels quite soft out of the box, it did take us a session or two before we really felt that the Visaro was truly broken-in. Data driven Hexaprene control and strike zones, an athlete inspired pro form last, and one piece form fitting moccasin construction deliver ultra-precise long and short passing, and game changing invention. Now a regular on the Premier League scene, thanks to the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Marouane Fellaini and Yohan Cabaye, the next evolution of the Visaro is upon us.Along the inner regions, four studs feature a polygon shape, while the studs on the outer side match the feel studs with a triangular shape. Take the Furon v6 Pro it has a lightweight, bonded TPU sprint spike-inspired collar, meaning it delivers an impressive range of movement around the ankle. It will come as no surprise that the New Balance kids’ collection mirrors all the qualities you’ve come to expect from our adult range. On dry surfaces, we never even noticed the studs or had any issues, but this set-up is not made for players that occasionally have to deal with pitches that are watered down right between the FG and SG line. With New Balance claiming the boot is made for players hoping to “Make Chances,” we were interested to see if the American brand took full advantage of their “chance” to reintroduce themselves to the market after moving beyond Warrior.

It’s an interesting idea to have boots tailored to positions and roles on the pitch, but what do poor goalkeepers and defenders go for? Perhaps the most important thing - the characteristic we aim to preserve in everything we do – is heritage. Annan Januzaj, Negredo and Jesus Navas have also expressed their preference for the Furon boot, according to New Balance. Right through the upper there is full on definition, and it’s role in the performance of the boot is going to be interesting to figure out. A few weeks back, New Balance introduced their second generation “creator” boot, in the form of the Visaro 2.The Visaro does feel light on your feet, but that's down more to the make-up and build of the boot than the actual weight. The Visaro made its debut on pitch in early 2015 after being used in beta for several months in a ‘black out’ prototype, it made a quick impact. However, it isn’t an overly wide boot, but New Balance offers a wide version to anybody that finds most boots to be too narrow for their needs.

This is the same style they use in their running shoes, where a foam material is placed between the built-in insole and the soleplate. Or for a boot that was created solely for artificial surfaces, there’s the Audazo range, which was designed for Futsal and features a lightweight synthetic leather upper for optimum ball control and feel. Adding such high texturing in a prime area also ensures you have the potential to really get solid spin. The Furon boot, however, uses a burrito tongue, and a FantomFit mesh with lightweight nylon outsole to help you sprint quicker and give you the power needed to finish off chances. When wider footed players tried the boot on, it did force their toes to stick up in an awkward way towards the edge of the toe-box (from the toes being squished together), but with the option of a wide version we think that the comfort could be experienced by any foot type and player.For striking shots, you get a real nice ping, with the ability to add a little extra spin via the offset polygon panels. However, if you’re more of a ‘maker of chances’ then you need to check out the Visaro boot in fetching blue.
