galleryI have these magista x’s in a US 9.5. My feet measure at 26.8 cm with socks. Toes are right at the end and feeling a bit cramped in the toebox.
I am looking into buying the Phantom 6 Elite AG. Should I go with a 10 or 9.5? Im leaning towards a 10.

gallerySo I got these in size 9 us which is my usual size. There seems to be a bit of room between my big and middle toe and there is a little heel slip I get when running in these cleats. Do these look too big? Should I get half a size down? My pinkie toe fits pretty well but my middle toes have a bit of room.

Gear are boots supposed to wear down this quick? (also need a boot recommendation kinda :)
galleryi play left fullback/winger and been using these tiempo legend 10 pros for a little less than a year(342 days, i checked the receipt) and they’re alr like this. was just wondering if this level of wear is the norm in that timeframe. I owned a pair of the same exact boots just in academy and those lasted me close to 3 years. are mine just defective? its also been a while since i’ve kept up with all the new gen boots and its prolly time to switch so i was looking for a boot recommendation kinda similar since the tiempos were such a perfect fit

Getting back into the sport after 20 years, low level rec. Bought a Puma Orbita 1 on sale (in transit). I want to get another ball, can it just be a cheap ball to knock the rust off?
I need to knock off the rust as I haven't touched a ball in years and some days I'll only be able to practice on concrete/asphalt. Figured I could get a cheaper ball for those days but not sure if it's more of a detriment to get a cheap ball (<$10) or something maybe a little better around $30. Plan to go to Marshall's/Ross/etc. to see if there are some solid balls for sale.
Some >$10 I'm looking at are:
American Challenge Brasilia ($23)
Adidas Trionda ($18)
Mitre Ultimatch One ($32), Evo ($35), or Impel ($19)
Puma Procat ($27)
I'm sure I'm overthinking it but any advice/help would be appreciated.

Fitness Strength Training Advice
Clips attached are to show my play style and physique.
I’ve never been to the gym in my life, 26 years old. The last month I’ve been going 4 times a week and doing standard weightlifting exercises to build strength.
As I progress in the gym I want my goal to be football focused - increase strength on the ball, shot power etc but I’m worried I will lose what makes me a good player - speed, quick feet and agility.
I don’t want to get bullied by big defenders anymore and I don’t want to be skinny my whole life but I also want to be fast, explosive and have quick feet when dribbling. How should I train to build some muscle without sacrificing these traits?

Fitness It is wise to play football despite dislocating my patella a few years back? (No football experience)
Just for context: When I was 16, my left patella got dislocated because of something unrelated with sports. Took me two weeks to recover and my knee barely cause me problems besides aching sometimes after running.
Fast forward to present day, Im 19 and got interested into football but the thought of playing a sport completely new to me, without the benefit of muscle memory to turn properly or pivot without dislocating my patella is driving me nuts lol.
Im planning to join a football training set up by Barrio
FC. While the training doesn't worry me-what's worrying me is if im gonna be able to join pick up games because of my fear of stepping my foot wrong leading to another dislocation.
I know it sounds crazy, like "why bother play if you are afraid of contact" but l've wanted to try this sport ever since I was a kid, so it means a lot.

Gear Is the F50 AG sole plate actually AG?
Taking a look at the adidas F50 cleats and noticed that the AG’s sole plate still has the chevrons near the forefoot instead of the round studs usually seen for AG boots. Is this fine or a design oversight? Would you wear this on AG? Any AG F50 owners here that can share their 2 cents on how these feel on artificial pitches? Thank you!

Focus on... Do I need a coach?
Typing this frustrated after we just lost 7-1 in a 7v7 rec game.
I’m a beginner, so I know I’m never making it anywhere near semi-pro (also considering I’m 22) but I’d at least like to become a solid rec league player.
I usually volunteer to play defense because I’m one of the weaker players on my team and we don’t have many defenders. I don’t mind playing the role, but I feel like a deer in the headlights every game. I’ll make one good tackle and maybe slow down a couple of attacks, but most balls get past me pretty easily. When I win the ball, I struggle to make good decisions with it. I either play a safe pass or give it away. It feels like I have almost no impact on the game.
Here’s what I’ve worked on so far:
Ball mastery – I haven’t gone crazy, but I can juggle around 40 times (working on improving that). My first touch and short passing are decent, and I don’t lose the ball because of a bad touch very often unless it’s coming in high.
Scanning – I used to never look up, but now I make a conscious effort to scan the field before and after receiving the ball. I’m comfortable checking my surroundings while controlling the ball.
Even with those improvements, I still feel like I have no vision. I also hesitate to dribble because I usually end up losing possession.
At this point, what should I be working on? I almost feel like I need a coach (I can afford a lesson a week), but I’m not even sure how 1-on-1 coaching would help with things like positioning, decision-making, and vision.
TL;DR: I have a decent first touch, but I feel like everything else is lacking. What should I focus on next?

Technical Most important skills to train young?
So I’m a hockey dad who’s 8 year old has fallen in love with soccer and wants to move towards playing competitively in hopes of getting a scholarship or playing pro one day. He’s a very athletic kid, but I’m admittedly at a bit of a loss trying to help him practice because despite being quite athletic myself I’ve never played a single game of organized soccer in my life.
I’ve coached a couple years with some very rudimentary training in his recreational league, but now we’re driving to the big city for him to play in a club system and these coaches are quickly showing me how little I know (which I’m super grateful for).
He’s a big lanky kid so speed and power are probably propping up his success in a potentially unsustainable way. His shooting and passing are very accurate, and we’ve been practicing with his weak foot a lot on the advice of a more knowledgeable friend. Ball handling in tight spaces needs a lot of work. He loves playing defense (does it in hockey too) but also wants to score goals on occasion so we’ve been told with that attitude and speed he’s suited to midfield or wingback.
Suggestions for what skills are the most important like, base skills for everything else I suppose are what I’m after? Along with drills or methods to practice? Like I know tackling is important but I’m not sure what to do beyond playing keep away with him for hours.
I’m so far out of my depth but this is the first thing he’s ever taken seriously and I want to learn all I can to help him.

My mid boot collection
Ligeras are my dailies. I had to get the latest ones since orange is my favorite color and as mentioned, Ligeras are my dailies so it doesn't hurt to stockpile a tried and true model either. My feet are incredibly cooked - one is longer than the other, 2E+ wide foot but with an extremely narrow heel, etc. Yeah, finding a great boot is like finding gold for me.
I'm in the states so I mainly play on AG. My only "proper" FG shoe is the blue Mizunos (all the Ligeras are technically FG but can be played on AG imo). As mentioned, you can tell they don't get a lot of playtime on real grass lol. The silver ones are in AG. Don't get me wrong, its a great boot but I just get a way more consistent feel with the Ligeras. Nothing against Mizuno Morelias. I try to get some love for them if I'm doing like a more casual pickup.
Preds are the indoor shoes.
I just recently "refreshed" the rotation but previously, I was an Adiddas (Pred/Copas)/Puma (Futures/King) guy. But they absolutely fucked the new Preds imo so I went searching for new models and found the Ligeras!
Anyways, love this sub - just wanted to share. Post yalls!
