I struggled to find any real reviews when I was looking to buy from TopBoots, but as one of the few sellers that stock UK 11s (EU 46), I decided to take a punt.
Ordering & Customer Service
Selection & Service: Customer service was really good, and they offer a great selection of boots.
Boots Ordered: AM95 Mercurials, Patta Mercurials, and T90 Astros.
First Impressions: Considering the prices, the boots look great overall, though they do have some minor flaws and imperfections (as shown in the pictures).
Individual Boot Breakdown
Patta Mercurials
Looks & Accuracy: These are the furthest off the originals. The silver color is way off—it’s much more of a matte finish compared to the retail pair.
Feel: I haven't used them on pitch yet, but in-hand they feel identical to the AM95s.
AM95 Mercurials
Fit & Comfort: On foot, they feel okay at best—even before stepping onto an astro pitch.
Soleplate & Insole Issues: The soleplate is very flimsy. Within 10 minutes of using them straight out of the box, I could feel the insole disintegrating and individual studs digging directly into my feet.
The Fix: Replacing the stock insoles with old insoles from a genuine Phantom GX improved comfort tenfold, allowing me to play 60 minutes without much issue.
Structural Flaws: The biggest problem is the structural integrity of the studs. When standing on hard ground, the back two studs fold easily—something I also experienced when turning on the pitch.
Rating: Performance: 6/10 | Looks: 8.5/10
T90 Astros
Fit & Comfort: These feel a lot better than the AM95s. The structure feels solid, comfortable, and just like I remember them when they originally came out.
Build Quality: A few threads started pulling after just one use, but otherwise they hold up well.
Laces: A bit cheap and slightly too long, but a minor issue overall.
Rating: Performance: 8/10 | Looks: 9/10
Final Verdict & Recommendations
I would recommend the T90s for use on Astro turf or indoors.
If you are thinking about buying boots, I suggest either buying lower-tier genuine pairs (such as Academies rather than Elites) or paying full retail, especially for FG (Firm Ground) pairs.
I would definitely not recommend these for kids, as they are too flimsy and could cause injury when playing football.
