I am on my seventh pair of Copa Mundials and I continue to be impressed. When you have a winning combination of looks, feel, and performance, you have no reason to change what you're doing. Just be sure to buy a size and a half smaller than your normal sneaker size, as the kangaroo leather stretches to conform to your feet. Also, do no expect to get more than one season out of the shoes, unless you have a lot of duct tape handy!

The Adidas Copa Mundial is like titled the Toyota Camry of soccer cleats. It's not the most reliable, not the most flashiest, surely not the most cheapest, but it doesn't do anything bad. I have owned 2 pairs in my life, and got a combined 7 years out of the 2. The cleat is very good depending on what type of style you play. If your a more english/european type who strikes long balls, and hard crosses, this is the perfect cleat for you. If your a more touch/on the ground type say from latin america, this might not be the best cleat for you, but is still decent. If your playing on smaller side fields, this may not be a good cleat, because your passes may need to be weighted softer, and in my experience, it is harder to make the ball slow or stop before it rolls out. The profile of the cleat is very good so that if you strike it from a good angle, the ball will not take an unnatural slice, unless you try to make it do so. All in all, it is quite worth the $99.99 that you pay for it. The only drawback, it only comes in the standard mostly black with white stripes adidas, no other colors.
