Soccer Boots

Soccer boots have been changing drastically over the years. Every year, Adidas and Nike have been competing to make the lightest soccer boots in the world. In 2010, Adidas launched a new line of the F50: the F50 Adizero. The first line weighed only 5.8 oz. Making it the worlds lightest boot ever. The Nike Mercurial Vapor, was the competition. It weighed about 7 oz. Now that Adidas has discovered the secret to making the lightest boots, they have been making millions of dollars selling them.
But what I personally am starting to dislike, is how light they are making them. Sure its great to run and have it feel like your barefoot, but then the material that go's on the boots is less and less and hurts even more when you get stepped on. That is one of the drawbacks that I am seeing.
