Puma Future football boots

A very versatile boot that can be used in many positions, but due to its construction, reinforcements and grip on the pitch, it is a very good choice for midfielders. Havertz, Maddison, or Neymar Jr, choose this model over others.

The touch with this boot is exquisite, but above all it is a comfortable boot in every way, good fit, good grip and a perfect balance that make it a very, very attractive option. 

Nike Air Zoom Mercurial football boots

A rarity in the world of midfielders, but as you know they are the boots used by Luka Modric, Fede Valverde, and even Bruno Fernandes. A speed boot that many midfielders like for its great grip on the pitch as well as for its clean and subtle touch.

It doesn't have a rotational traction like other models, and it doesn't favour the strike in excess, but if you have a thin foot and especially if you like minimalist and close to the foot boots, it is one of the best options. 

Nike Tiempo football boots

The Frankie De Jong football boots are boots made by and for the classic player that give that extra touch and classic fit without giving up any of the latest technologies.

The Flytouch+ gives us a fabulous touch, and is complemented by the small external grip dots to give us a better pass and make impossible controls. In addition, the outsole with semi-conical studs, gives us great support in turns and changes of direction, a typical midfield movement, looking for an outlet or a new pass. Musiala and many other players enjoy Tiempo's touch in midfield, in a pack that is also very, very light.

adidas Predator football boots

A boot created for striking and passing couldn't be missing in this compilation. Whether with or without tongue, with or without laces, the Predator is a classic in the midfield. A boot with an out of place punching reinforcement, and that allows for a snug and stable fit with the adidas Hybridtouch

The plate also allows a semi-aggressive traction, highly praised by midfielders all over the world and suitable for turns and stability in every step. The touch is not trivial and the ‘predator element’ as we like to call it, allows us to give that extra spin, or power to the ball in every pass or shot we make with our adidas Predator. Pedri, De Paul, Bellingham, and a gigantic list of players wear the most touch boot from adidas. 

Nike Phantom football boots

Coming from Nike, we have the Kevin de Bruyne football boots that you should try if you haven't tried them before. A boot that mixes Flyknit and Gripknit that has its key in the latter, because without being very aggressive it gives us that extra grip in a more ‘sticky’ style that allows us to make fabulous shots and passes.

The plate that comes mounted on a wide last, allows us to have a really aggressive traction for a boot of this style, but then it doesn't feel so hard when you use it and it navigates in a sensational medium term for the position of the terrain we are in thanks to the Cyclone 360 in the front part. Kimmich, Gavi, Camavinga and many more players choose the Phantom as their boot to give their best. 


And so far this is a compilation of the most used boots by midfielders, a list where we are sure we left out some of your favourites. Which one would you choose?
