V2: The Elite Kickers have been enhanced (11/9/23) to offer even better fit and protection. The new details are highlighted in the product images.
Increased size toe 'box' - the protection on the top of the foot has been enhanced because the kickers are now tested to the top CE protection level - 5. We have increased the foam on top of the foot - hence the bigger bulb of foam.
Revised straping system. The inside strap - kicking surface strap is now internal so it gives a perfectly clean kicking and saving surface. The toe straps are also recessed so the buckles sit smoother to the surface of the kicker.
Wrap around tongue, giving better comfort and fit.
V1 Details:
Up to 5 layers of foam feature in specific areas of the kickers. The different foams have performance characteristics that offer (a) protection (heavier and harder foam) from the ball speeds that are generated at the highest level, they offer (b) rebound (softer and lighter foams) to clear the ball and maximise rebound speeds to minimise second phase shots and (c) to adapt to the shape of the foot (EVA and MP foams that are heat sensitive) to ensure the closest fit possible, this increases confidence and enhances feel but also minimises the air pockets that can exist between foot and kicker that reduce rebound.
