    UGH. Bought the Athletha TF's in the K-leather version.

    Turns out they fit half a size small. god, why can't everyone just do it true to size.

    Awesome review. Forgot your mention about the studs in the front and controlling the ball. Makes sense with Japanese players and their ability to play similar to south american with close control, short passing, using ball of foot a lot/rolling ball. I love me some Japanese boots,!!

    Yeah dude. Great boots all around.
    For me they ran a little bit longer. They stretch about a 1/4 size as well which is perfect for me.

    This is what I wrote before about visiting Japan.....

    I don't go to Tokyo as often as Osaka but there are many KAMO shops in all popular areas like Harajuku, Shinjuku and Shibuya. There is a FUTABA sports shop in Shibuya as well.
    You will not see many items on Sale at KAMO especially shoes.

    There is a Mizuno flagship store but I never been to and not sure about the location but it is around Chiyoda-ku area.

    You will find good deals at regular sports shops that carry soccer stuff and usually they have items on sale.

    Have fun

    SSKamo is one of the only places in Tokyo now. There are not as many stores as there used to be.

    Again general sporting goods stores are pretty good. Super Sports Xebio normally has a fairly decent soccer selection. B&D Sports is decent.

    Highly recommended that you stop by Vintage Sports in Shibuya. They carry classic jerseys and have a lot of great stuff.

    Futaba Sports no longer has a location inside of Tokyo itself, they have a couple in the areas surrounding the city.

    The Mizuno Flagship store doesn't have a lot of soccer stuff. It has a few things. More though than the one in Osaka.

    I appreciate it! I only just realised it went up yesterday. He's been on vacation so I guess he didn't have time to give the heads up

    Wow never even heard of them tbh!
    Shame none of them are full leather, but they still look quite nice.

    I love them. They are the only other brand that has really worked for me besides Mizuno. They are super comfy! I wrote a review several years ago which is linked above.
