As expected from a takedown model the comfort and
fit is not that great. The difference between the high end model the F50i and
the F10i is way to big. Basically everything is completely different. From the
upper, soleplate, insole and even the looks are different from the high end
model, the F50i. From right out of the box the shoes are extremely stiff. You
get stud pressure and blisters specially on the heel area which makes this shoe
really uncomfortable before breaking them in.
The F10i weights 998gr. This is not very heavy but it is not
even close to being able to be considered a lightweight shoe. This is an
average weight for any soccer shoe, but when the entire line is marketed for
“speed”, one would expect the takedown model to be at least somewhere close to
lightweight.
The
F10i used an older version of stud pattern. It features a bladed stud pattern
which provides really good grip when planting your foot and when making hard lateral cuts. The
F10i has 3 bladed studs on the outside & inside with 2support studs in the middle, while
in the back it has 4 studs for support. The studs are on the larger side and
before the break in period you get stud pressure on both the heel and forefoot.
This stud pattern is suitable to be used on nearly any type of playing surface. the
upper has a shape that is somewhat off to begin with, so while the upper does
not fit perfectly to your foot, the actual touch on the ball is honestly not
that bad. The upper is not necessarily all that thin, but it does not have any
padding, so the feel is reminiscent of playing barefoot.
The shoe features an off centreed lacing system being pushed
to the outside and it also has the laces covered. This enables the shoe to have
a really big striking zone which I personally really like. When you strike the ball
hard you can really feel the ball and feel the power you are implementing to
the ball without being uncomfortable.
It also has an internal heel counter which provides extra
protection on the heel area. The heel counter features adiPRENE.
