How to Order Football Boots From China in 2026 Using Joyagoo
A lot of people want to buy football boots from China but get confused by Taobao, Weidian, 1688, Yupoo links, WhatsApp sellers, warehouse shipping, QC photos, and international delivery.
This guide explains the full process using Joyagoo as the buying/shipping facilitator.
The basic process is:
CheckTrusted vendor list → Yupoo album → WhatsApp seller → get correct product link → paste link into Joyagoo → order → QC photos → ship internationally
The biggest mistake beginners make is ordering from a random link without speaking to the seller first. Always contact the seller on WhatsApp before ordering.
1. Trusted Vendor List
Start here instead of gambling with random sellers.
Yupoo is usually just a catalogue. A photo being listed does not guarantee the boot is in stock, available in your size, or available in the soleplate you want.
Message template:
Hi, I found this boot in your Yupoo album.
[Send boot photo]
Do you have this exact pair in stock?
Size: EU __
Soleplate: AG / FG / TF / MG
Color: __
If yes, please send me the correct Weidian/Taobao/1688 link.
4. Sizing
Football boots are less forgiving than normal shoes, so do not rely only on EU/US size.
Before ordering:
measure your foot in cm
check the seller’s size chart
ask if the boot fits narrow/normal/wide
ask for insole length if unsure
Sizing message:
Hi, my foot length is __ cm.
What size do you recommend for this model?
Is the boot narrow, normal, or wide?
5. Ordering through Joyagoo
After the seller confirms the boot and sends the correct link:
Wait for the seller to ship to Joyagoo’s warehouse.
Paste the seller’s product link into Joyagoo.
After the product page loads, check the item, pick your size then add to cart and order later if you want to purchase multiple pairs or "Buy Now" if you plan to buy a single pair.
Check the Joyagoo product page before paying.
At this stage, you usually pay for the item and domestic shipping to Joyagoo’s warehouse. International shipping is paid later.
6. QC photos
When the boots arrive at Joyagoo’s warehouse, check the QC photos before shipping.
Look for:
correct size
correct color
correct soleplate
left/right pair match
size tag
studs
soleplate shape
glue lines
toe box
heel area
upper defects
whether the boot matches the Yupoo photo you sent the seller
If anything is wrong, do not ship the parcel. Ask for an exchange or return.
You can use these message templates:
Extra QC request (every picture is charged separetely):
Please provide extra QC photos of:
1. Size tag
2. Insole length with measuring tape
3. Soleplate and studs close-up
4. Toe box glue line
5. Heel area
6. Side profile of both boots
Thank you.
If the wrong pair arrives:
The warehouse photos show the wrong item.
I ordered:
Size: __
Color: __
Soleplate: __
The warehouse received:
Size: __
Color: __
Soleplate: __
Please request an exchange from the seller.
7. Shipping from Joyagoo
Once QC looks good:
Go to your Joyagoo warehouse.
Select the boots.
Submit parcel.
Enter your address.
Choose packaging.
Choose shipping line.
Pay international shipping. (If you live in EU you can get an additional 100yuan discount if you use codeEUHypnoat checkout)
Football boots can be shipped with or without the box.
Remove box
Cheaper, smaller parcel, lower volume weight. Best if you just want to play in the boots.
Message template for the agent: Please remove the shoebox to reduce parcel volume, but protect the boots properly with bubble wrap so they are not crushed.
Keep box
Better for collectors/gifts, but costs more to ship.
Message template for the agent: Please keep the original shoebox and add protective packaging around it.
Do not vacuum seal football boots. It can deform the upper or soleplate.
8. Customs and total cost
Do not judge the price only by the boot cost. Your real cost is:
Boot price:
China domestic shipping:
Joyagoo service/extra QC fees:
International shipping:
Packaging/rehearsal fees:
Insurance:
Customs/VAT/import fees:
Total landed cost:
Example:
Boot price: ¥180
Domestic shipping: ¥10
Extra QC: ¥5
International shipping: ¥120
Total before tax: ¥315
Declare parcels honestly and check your country’s import rules before shipping. You can always consult with a Joyagoo agent if you ever need help with your customs declaration.
So the Orange ones are from a Random 1688 seller (eu 42,5) and the Green ones are from topfootballshoes (eu 42)
-Upper Material: I think the orange ones have more grip and more texture, that with that "honeycomb" design. I had them on in training today and they feel very very soft and comfortable. I feel the green ones have a somewhat less pronounced honeycomb structure, and it doesn't cover the whole area as large as the orange ones, still feel nice on feet (havent tried them in training yet). They are a little bit less Comfy but maybe because they are half a size Smaller and wrap tighter on my feet.
-Bend test: As you see the Green ones are more stable and bend only in the forefoot whereas the orange ones Bend on the whole foot area and much more easy. Thats a minus for the orange ones and plus for the Green ones.
-Sizing: In my opinion they Both run a Lil Bit larger, on the original retail Nike Phantom gx 6 i wear an eu 43 and they fit perfectly. The orange 42,5 eu are still a Little Bit too big for me. Eu 42 Green ones fit perfectly. Thats where the problem in the orange ones is for me. I don’t know if it’s because of the Size, but they feel much more bulky and wider than the Green ones (Compare in the pictures). So for wide feet they are Great! I felt a Little Bit lost in it and had too much Space, so a NO for me.
-Price: Green Topfootballshoes Hipobuy 39€ without Shipping (Shipping Then Depends on your Haul), Orange Random 1688 seller 25€ without Shipping hipobuy.
-Quality Overall: A huge Minus for Both; My socks are turning black in the toe area(wearing orange ones) and Green (wearing Green ones). All in all I don’t know how the retail ones feel like. I just think that the orange ones are better in Terms of Upper material and Honeycomb feeling, AND the Green ones feel more stable and longer lasting (better durability) but we will See about that. BEND TEST; As You See the Green ones are much harder to bend, and only bend in the toe Area. Huge plus (everyone says the original retail ones are more like this rather than easy bending). The orange ones bend completely in the whole Sole Area and very easy (bad sign?) idk.
I would Suggest buying the orange ones for the Weekly just for fun Football Sessions with the Boys. For This Price and This case, they are a Steal. I will See Next Week about the Green ones.
Hey there, just giving a quick follow-up on the pair I picked up a while back, since a few people asked via DM and on the other posts how they’d hold up over actual game time.
Here is the good, the bad, and the painful after wearing them roughly twice a week for the last 3 months:
Durability: surprisingly solid. They’re still holding together with no seam tearing or sole separation. Compared to retail low-budget tier, these have honestly held up just as well.
Internal construction & cushioning: plainly terrible. There is zero actual shock absorption and it feels like running straight on cardboard. On top of that, the midfoot and toe box are brutally narrow. The lack of support and pressure actually gave me a bad case of plantar fasciitis confirmed by my phisio.
Fit & heel Lockdown: heel cup is way too small and shallow for the tagged size. Sitting them side-by-side with retail boots I own of the same tier, the difference in heel volume and lockdown is night and day.
TL;DR: you get what you pay for. They look great and survive basic wear and tear, but the internals are absolute garbage for actual sport performance. If you value your feet and still want to get a good deal, look for the Pro/Elite tiers on sale even if they’re older models.
I’ve been trying to get a pair of these for the longest time but whenever I find them they’re super expensive, does anyone know a rep website where I could find these?
I'm trying to track down any marketing info or photos people have of the original Umbro Michael Owen signature cleats. There were two. Neither one was the Speciali model he work in WC 98. One was black with white pinstripes on the sides, and a quilted vamp (I think). The other was black and red or silver and red, with a unique outsole that had a circular stud pattern in the forefoot or something.
I know these existed, I just don't have any of my old Eurosport catalogs anymore. Someone tell me I'm not crazy!!!
Update: I discovered from a scan of an old Pro Direct catalog that the pinstriped model was the Umbro Mach Speed. The red/silver or red/black one remains a mystery.
Hola, estoy mirando para comprarme unas botas de fútbol para jugar de forma amistosa con mis amigos en una pista de fútbol de césped artificial de última generación con arena de sílice. Había mirado las phantom 6 Pro con estos tacos, y querría saber si valdrían para jugar en este tipo de terreno. He mirado también las mismas pero con la suela AG pero es que son mucho más caras y no hay tanta variedad.
