Selecting the correct sole plate for the surface you are playing on is crucial, not only for the performance and longevity of your football boots, but also to avoid the risk of injury. This is the world we live in now where technology reigns supreme. And the adidas Copa Sense .1 is a technologically sound boot. It may not bring about nostalgia but it surely delivers for the modern age. The 20.3 is quite comfortable on feet. Pressure point from the bunching up of the burrito tongue can be alleviated with the right size. What size of the Copa 20.3 should I choose? adidas do have Kid-specific makes for the Copa 20.3 available in FG-specific soleplate. Does the .3 have other soleplate versions for muddy pitches, 3G or Turf?

Soleplate construction mirrors the Exoframe structure and semi-conical studs; uses a single layer of TPUFirst up, let’s be clear: this is the adidas Copa, the most modern, technologically advanced boot in the Copa range, as opposed to the more traditional Copa Mundial and Copa Gloro. I first thought that the entire boot was covered in a thin layer of leather but I had come to find out that only the forefoot is made from leather. Look closely at the photo above and you’ll notice a different texture and grain between the forefoot and the midfoot. Burrito-style tongue causes unnecessary bulk or bunching up of materials especially on the top of the foot which might cause some comfort issues From longstanding leather classics like the World Cup and Copa Mundial to more modern innovations like the all-conquering Predator, their boots are always built to combine comfort and performance. Despite this downward trend, brands still keep their line of leather boots within their ranks to point to their storied past and display their long history within the boot category. This explains why adidas still produces the adidas Copa Mundial, one of the legendary leather boots from the 70s. However, it is increasingly difficult to market the Copa Mundial and their leather boots to a generation that has never even experienced a proper leather boot like an adidas Predator from the 90s to early 2000s.

Objectively, the adidas Copa Sense .1 is an excellent boot. This one of the best fitting boots available in the market, let alone among the adidas stable. It’s a very elegantly designed football boot and is an improvement, aesthetically. The firm ground (FG) studs don’t pose too much of a problem for me on artificial ground (AG) and receives our seal of approval for dual FG/AG purposes. There is no stud pressure on AG and it provides sufficient traction without digging too deep into the ground.

To make leather sexy again to a new generation, it says a lot that adidas has created a boot that mimics leather but is primarily still a synthetic construction. If you’re a leather purist, this isn’t a boot for you though the writing has been on the wall for some time for leather. A classic football boot that has been brought into the 21st century, the adidas Copa football boots have been redeveloped with new, innovative technology from adidas’ engineers. The result is a premium leather upper built for ultimate comfort, with redesigned outsoles to get the most reliable traction on any surface. adidas named the boot “Sense” in a bid to “to deliver an enhanced feel andoptimum touch for the wearer”. On paper, that is what all leather boots strive to do as they all provide an elegant and cushioned touch on the ball. adidas’ approach to this is somewhat different and can be seen in these 3 features – TOUCHPODS, SENSEPODS and SOFTSTUDS.
