    Does look like a Made in Indonesia model.

    Is it just me or does the upper appear to be one piece?

    The forefoot doesn't have that 'leathery' look...

    The point where leather and synthetic leather are stitched together is obvious with the Neo 2. Not so in these pics.

    It does look a little bit like a one piece. It's definitely a take down model.

    Thanks! So do you think it's worth the extra money (I know this is subjective)?

    Welp. Got the Rebulas in the same size that I have the Neo 2's on. Waaay smaller fit. I barely fit into the Rebulas.

    FYI, the Rebulas will run smaller for sure. By a 1/2 to full size.

    Yeah, hopefully it'll stretch out

    my REbula V1 JP takes at least half-a-dozen games to stretch out.....but then i don't wear them in consecutive games, so maybe it'll take lesser games....but now fits like a glove, though i prefer it to have a higher toe box

    I'm going to Japan later this spring and I want to buy some MIJ Mizunos. What is the best place to buy football boots in Japan? I'm going to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe.

    Kamo is all over Japan but you will pay retail as they seldom have MIJ on sale
    https://www.sskamo.co.jp/company/store/index.html

    in Osaka, I really like Kemari87...they have good selection and good prices
    http://www.kishispo.com/store/shinsaibashi/
    Also, there is a Mizuno flagship store in Umeda

    In Tokyo, Kamo is king and some stores closed retail shops to sell online... these are some general sports stores that might have MIJ stuff
    https://www.gallery2.co.jp/shop/shibuya-1f

    In Kobe, the same, Kamo is your best option. There are few other smaller stores but they are hard to find if you don't know the area.

    There is Union in Nagoya which is really good and Futaba in Saitama.
    More and more, people order online because it easy and cheap.

    Have fun

    You're gonna love it. It's awesome! By the SSKamo is the most expensive of all of the companies.

    Hit @derbyyank13 up for some of the locations, he brought me to this super obscure shop in Ueno that gave me the best prices for Neo 2 that I've ever seen! If not Futaba sports and Gallery are good shouts. I'd avoid Kamoa s far as i candue to how expensive they can be

    Which Rebulas? If its the 2, you'll need to go half size up. I tried them on in tokyo and realised that. with the 1s, true to size is okay, but i had to go through hell and some hot water trick to get em to mould to my feet.

    Anybody tried these yet:

    Mizuno Monarcida Sala Elite TF


    I just ordered a pair of the new model in black and yellow. Curious if there are any reviews....

    I haven't played in them but I like the way they feel.

    Thanks, all the Mizuno cleats I've owned have had relatively uniform fit. I'm 27.5 cm in Morelia, Morelia wave, wave cups, Morelia UL, Neo KL AG, will I have any issues with fit?

    You're welcome!
    No I don't think so. They are ever slightly narrow than Morelias. But length wise it's the same.

    recently got myself a pair of morelia neo 2s in US9.5.
    I was previously a US10 in my vapors but US10 in neo 2s were a tad long at the toe, so I thought to size down to 9.5. fits snug across the entire feet, but after my games, i get blisters.

    Is this normal? or should I have stuck to size 10 instead? it has been 180minutes of 11-a-side and about 3-4 training sessions, and I still get slight blisters, will I be able to stretch the leather out?

    hmm which part of your foot are you getting blisters from?

    the Vapors do fit slightly longer than usual in the same size so it could be that your true size is US 10 but you've gone down half a size by accident. The leather will stretch width-wise, but I don't expect it to stretch length-wise tbh.

    I wear a 10 in Vapor III's and other boots, and got a 10 in Neo 2's and they fit just fine. It's the Nebulas that fit small.

    US 10 in neo2 had some space left in the boot for me, that was why I chose to do 9.5, it fits well on my fit, but I get them blisters after the game.

    not too sure if i shud continue wearing them in to break them in, or should I cut my losses and get a US10 and accept a less than 100% snug fit.
