Review of Nike CTR360 Libretto III FG Junior - Fresh Mint/
In my daughter's short soccer "career" (4 years in youth sport), she has 4 pairs of CTR360 Libretto. Her position is defense and goalie and she has narrow feet. This model of shoes have a harder and extra padded sweet spot for kicking while the rest of shoes are soft. So it works well for drop kick and other defence kick. Up to CTR360 Libretto II, it was made out of real leather so they mold to the feet very well. Starting generation "III", Nike used synthetic leather instead. It still has the padded sweet spot but the shoes feel differently. Previously, we soak the new shoes in water and allows it to shrink to fit the feet. Now, model "III" won't shrink so it feels half size bigger than the same size of last generation in leather. I looked around for cleats for narrow feet, padded sweet spots and it seems this model is still the only one that foot the bill. Nike has other models but my daughter said they are more suited for mid-field and forward where speed and better touch is needed instead of power kick. Adidas shoes are just too wide for slim girls' feet. So...... I am going to find the left over inventory of CTR360 Libretto II.
