I was thinking about picking some up for the new season now that I am almost back from a near career ending leg and ankle break. I was just wondering if anyone had an feedback on the quality of the boots in terms of leather strength and break in time. I tried them on in my friends soccer shop and they fit very well which suprised me since Kelme use to fit me very weird, I guess its just the new last they designed. One other big thing for me is heel cup strength since achilles tendn still gets inflamed due to my ankle being dislocted i need a frim grip back there, it felt nice in the store but it doesnt break down after a few matches does it like some other brands? thanks any feedback would be great
The heel cup of the Kelmes is definitely strong. I bought a pair(with the K and the laces on the side) two years ago. I actually don't like the heel cup as it causes blisters on my heels. But this may solve your Achilles problems and it may not blister your feet. I bought the Kelmes because I have a wide foot, heard good things about them, and they felt good in the store. Have you tried any of the high-end Adidas shoes? I've used Pumas before and thought they were OK. Good luck with your return to soccer.
