As we always say, there are no football boots specifically designed for a particular position. However, it is also true that, if we analyse the different roles on the pitch, certain models crop up more frequently because they help to enhance specific qualities. We’ve already looked at the best football boots for strikers, and today we’re going to analyse the best options for midfielders. This group will include everything from the more defensive players, such as central midfielders, through to central midfielders, right up to the more attacking ones, who effectively play as attacking midfielders. Let’s get started!
Our first choice is a pair of football boots that you don’t see very often at professional level, but which stand out for being extremely comfortable. We’re talking about the Nike football boots worn by players such as Casemiro – arguably one of the best central midfielders in the world – Bernardeschi, the Juventus midfielder, and Havertz, a very attacking midfielder for the German national team. The Nike Phantom Vision boots are very comfortable and flexible thanks to the Flyknit fabric they’re made from. They also feature ‘Ghost Laces’ technology, which hides the laces to ensure a cleaner, unobstructed contact with the ball. Finally, these boots are lightweight yet secure and quite sturdy, perfect for those seeking stability on the pitch.
As a second option, we’d like to present a pair of football boots that I personally like very much. They’re probably among the most comfortable on the market and represent a true masterpiece from adidas: the adidas Copa. These are leather football boots – something we’re seeing less and less of in modern designs – and they’re also laceless, whilst still retaining the traditional kangaroo leather. A material that moulds perfectly to the foot and is so comfortable that you’ll forget you’re even wearing boots. In fact, they were the choice of two highly attacking Argentine midfielders – practically strikers – Papu Gómez and ‘La Joya’, Paulo Dybala.
Our last choice is once again from the German brand adidas, this time featuring a pair of football boots designed to dominate the game and give you control over both the ball and everything that happens on the pitch. As you’ve no doubt already guessed, we’re talking about the football boots worn by Pjanic, the Juventus midfielder, and Pogba. We’re talking about the adidas Predator, a real treat for both the eyes and the feet. They’re very comfortable and lightweight boots, with rubber studs that enhance grip and contact with the ball. What’s more, they feature a sole divided into two plates with 11 studs, designed to provide excellent stability and traction on the pitch.
