We often look for football boots that are wide, or narrow, or we simply want them to be comfortable. However, on many occasions we’re looking for a football boot that combines these features with a cushioned feel or padding across the whole foot. To this end, we have a range of models which, thanks to their construction or the feel they provide when worn, fit perfectly into this round-up.
We’ll start with a boot that anyone who follows us on social media knows we’ve fallen in love with, and that’s none other than the Puma Future football boots. The boot has countless virtues, but what we want to focus on this time is that cushioned comfort we’re looking for.
Well, for that, we have the Evoknit, which is responsible for providing that perfect fit and cushioning, thanks to its construction and the textured layer covering it. A fantastic choice.
Next up is another option which, strange as it may seem, we’ve included thanks to the choice of materials. These are the adidas X 19+ football boots, which, thanks to the X-Layskin inner lining, provide very comfortable cushioning – something rarely seen in speed boots.
However, the ultimate in comfort is found in the outer heel cup, which, thanks to its high profile and soft interior, provides an exceptional fit and makes for the perfect boot if you’re looking for extra padding amongst the German brand’s speed boots.
The perfect padding
To round off the top three, we have another option from the brand with the three stripes: the adidas Copa 19+. This boot owes its appeal entirely to the kangaroo leather that covers the entire upper, which, combined with a semi-conical studded sole, provides exceptional cushioning and comfort.
With the return of Copa, we once again have a football boot that’s perfect if you’re looking for a blend of classic style, cushioning and comfort.
And now we come to a boot that we personally love: the Nike Phantom Vision football boots. Thanks to the Flyknit construction and the QuadFit inner lining, these boots provide cushioning that you can really feel with every touch of the ball. This is complemented by a very comfortable, lightweight outsole, which rounds off that cushioned feel on the pitch that we’re looking for in this round-up.
Finally, the undisputed champion in this regard is none other than the adidas Predator football boots – a boot that, if you’re looking for cushioning, is the best option, at least in our opinion. This is down to the boot’s construction, which combines the Primeknit upper with foam strips that form the Predator element, thereby providing spectacular cushioning and touch when striking the ball. However, it doesn’t stop there, as the Boost technology incorporated into the sole ensures that we can also feel that upper cushioning in the sole with every step we take on the pitch.
In conclusion, whichever of these options you choose, you’ll get good cushioning; that said, you really do need to find the perfect balance between padding and comfort if you want the boot that’s just right for you.
