Customer Reviews Nike Phantom VSN Academy DF TF

Felt good after breaking in...Good ball control; foot grip was excellent for turf grass - especially changing direction ! Getting feet inside this shoe takes some wiggling but fits great around the ankle.

LOVE IT!!!!

Definitely order a half-size up. I have flat feet and am usually a size 10-E (wide), and the 10.5 fits me great. The only thing is the top-most insole is of pretty poor quality. It quickly came unset during my first match wearing these and is generally annoying to play with thereafter. So, depending on the kind of insoles you usually use (if any), I may recommend buying a full size up and using custom insoles if you want the most comfortable fit.

Bought these for my 12 year old son as “Indoor” soccer shoes. He loves the style and says they are comfortable. He would also wear them outside vs his cleats if he was playing on turf. He was very happy with them

My son has this shoe in the multi-ground cleat as well. Odd that he could get the outdoor shoe in kid size 6 but this version only came in men's size 6 (same size, but $20 more, thanks Nike). The multi-ground version has more room in it, not necessarily much longer or wider, but he has upgraded insoles that can go into both versions but don't fit the same. He finds the MG version with those insoles to be very comfortable, but he can't even get his foot into the DF/TF version with anything but the flimsy insole the shoe comes with (his other insoles' arch support make the shoe painfully tight). His foot isn't as stable with that, and if Severs Disease is a concern, you might want to think twice about the DF/TF because you won't be able to replace the insole. I got him this version because I read something a podiatrist wrote about needing the correct shoe for the surface being played on, but if I had to do it again, I would have just had my son stick with the MG cleats with the good insoles.
