Now, what’s writing a blog about the Best Cleats Ever and a 12-Stud interchangeable cleats, and not mention the perfect blend of the two?

So, here’s a pair of cleat that truely gives you the benefits of a quality boot-comfort, feel, suppleness, touch, fit, and stability-and the versitily of a customizable cleat. The Morelia collection, great cleats as molded firm ground boots, great cleats as replacebale 6-studed cleats and even better cleats as an 8-studed soft ground cleat.

I can go on for days about why these cleats are so great, but Hey.. Mizuno is not paying me this, so I’ll keep it brief.

If you use Soft Ground Cleats often, or play in wet conditions often that require tall replaceable studs, and want a little bit more from your normal “6-Studs” but don’t want too much from “Tunits” this might be worth checking out. Very unique and innovative, yielding superb performance.

Diadora Morpho

Anyone ENJOY using 8-stud removeable cleats? What about 12 fully removeable and interchanges studs? Have you even seen anything of this sort? Ok Yes. You might think I’m talking about the Adidas Tunits…But does anyone remember these?

Some of you old-timers might know of the Diadora Morpho. I would say these were one of the first cleats that founded the concept of versitile and customizable cleats. These boots came out over a decade ago, and features 12 removeable studs. Thier construction is that of a 6-stud removeable cleat (standard Soft Ground Cleats), except there are 12 of them (standard Firm Ground Cleats). You can say they were the first breed of soft ground and firm ground cleats. At the time, they were quite innovative and they intriqued many, but the costly price tag on a pair of these boots made them a lot less appealing. The need for such a specialized cleat, with endless transformations wasn’t too strong, as playing conditions didn’t call for such specific catering. Plus, from my experience with these cleats back then, i ask myself…Was it really neccessary for me to change stud that often for more or less the same fields I played on? Not so much, but it was fun to do it!

Much like the Addidas Tunits now. Do you really need that much specifications and customizations? Not so much, but it’s fun to do it!

So, to the Diadora Morpho’s. Shout out to a Cleat that shed light on the concept of customization, individualization, and versitility.

Also in my books, as cleats that founded the Spirrs Guys Catergory of “not-necessarily-all-so-necessary” Cleats.
