Talaria vs. AZT 90's II Nike Mercurial Talaria VS. Nike AZT 90 II What are the good things about the Talaria. I'm not an owner of the boot and looking at it makes me figure that they don't offer ankle/foot protection. I know that soccer shoes don't offer ankle protection but the ankle is out and seems as if it can be injured easily. To the owners of the Talarias, do you wear Nike Ankle Shields or what? Were these shoes made for strikers or who? What do these boots offer? I have heard that the AZT 90 II provide absolute great comfort. But what about the touch or skin of the shoe?
These cleats are complete and utter crap. They say "no pain, no gain" but these things will not give you blisters but try having someone step on your foot during a sprint. But then again what cleats offer ankle protection??
