    I've posted this many times before here but if you factor in the current exchange rate it's actually often cheaper to order boots from Prodirect UK (no VAT) and ship them to the US than to get them domestically. This is especially true for Mizuno since their US releases are generally a lot more limited than the UK/EU releases.

    Right now, they don't remove VAT when shipped to US. It pisses me off and they would not answer emails or call and last time I was told to order from somewhere else by one of their reps.

    To add to @newone88 sentiment, Pro Direct is out of stock for the color combination I want. Only Mizuno has all the color combos, as well as additional combos that are not available anywhere else.

    My company provides "wellness dollars" of up to $360 USD annually. So they're technically paying for the boots.

    I will see if I can the thread and take a screen capture. It was a thread on a Chinese website and I tried to do a google translate but still was not able to tell if it was rumor or real.

    Hi All. I'm new here. Glad to have found you! Been playing almost exclusively Indoor for the past 10 yrs, but will be helping a friend coach on AG in about a month and in need of some new boots. Recently ordered neo 2, m2, and rebula all mij, to hopefully find which one fits the best and will send the rest back. Love my 10yr old tiempo AG's but need a bit more support (plantar fasciitis). How will these mizunos perform on AG? Any news of upcoming AG mij models? Would I be better off with Tiempo Elite AG or some other boot? Sorry for so many questions.

    I'd been playing with Rebula V1 JP and Morelia Neo 2 JP on AGs.....no issues.....Neo 2 JP smallish studs seems best.....

    Ok thx noted. Obviously the durability and craftsmanship are best in class with miz but how about performance - specifically on ag? I'd prefer to be be lower to the ground with a more stable ride than fg's on turf - especially being a technical Indoor player. I'll probably order some Tiempo elite ag as a backup but really hoping to land on a miz mij model as the winner

    wait what, don't think i ever saw them local mizuno sttores selling em so this is surprising o_O

    haven't had any problems using them on AG. Do prefer the Neo 2 on AG than the morelia 2.

    Years ago we had some post showing WC available in Korea or Malaysia even when Japan wasn't selling. I'm not sure where they were manufacturing them but apparently at the time there was a decent market for the boot somewhere Korea or Malaysia. The websites referred to the model as WC KR which suggest Korea but I'm not 100% sure.

    Got these beauties today. Fit perfectly true to size. Plan to give them a go when the weather gets better.

    Quick question: what's the difference between the Mizuno Morelia Neo 2 & the Mizuno Morelia Monarcida Neo 2?

    wait, what. what in the world!? makes 0 sense. They're priced even cheaper than the Morelia Neo 2s are in the official Mizuno Shops, which are 400 SGD. I'm actually tempted to get another pair because of how good they are, could use with an additional back up pair haha.

    anyway, if anyone's looking to get a pair, I'm happy to help facilitate and ship it over to you. depending on location shipping is typically around $50 sgd.

    slight differences in leather quality. The Monarida Neo has rubberised toe area to prevent the leather from getting rubbed off. Morincida also has 0 glide insoles. Slightly wider fit.
