Video: Concave PT+ Soccer Boots

Published on December 17, 2009

[digg=http://digg.com/soccer/Concave_PT_Soccer_Boots]Over the next few days we’ll be testing the brand new Concave PT+ soccer boots from Concave Sports. Once done, we’ll be posting a detailed review of them for you footieheads out there.

Our first thoughts after one runout in this new product are quite positive. Things that we noticed were:

– Definite increased shot accuracy and power
– The patented sweetspot almost makes it feel like you’re cheating at times
– Great stability
– Good first touch for trapping
– More control while dribbling with the front of the foot
– They’re a bit hard to slip on at first since they you cannot manipulate the laces.

In the meantime, here are further details from Concave on the choice of game footwear of Manchester United and Republic of Ireland defender / midfielder John O’Shea.

Concave brings a whole new look to the game with a sleek, Concave shaped boot that is shaped to the same angle as a soccer ball providing for more power and control — and with more power and control comes more confidence. The boot is now being used in all leagues — including the English Premier League — and players report that they now have the confidence to drop the ball into passing lanes closer to their teammates than ever before or control their shots more accurately for more goals.

The PT+ is an extremely limited release by Concave featured in unique colourways while maintaining its revolutionary design and worldwide patented technology.

Concave Component has two functional benefits – increased sweet spot surface area for ultimate power and precision and the MetaGuard for protection of the metatarsal region. The Concave is made up of a patented 3 density PU reinforcement cushioning with lightweight foam for high performance.

Upper

Premium K-leather is used contributing to maximum durability and comfort – unique concealed 1 density lace system.

Outsole Lightweight 2-part forefoot and rear TPU Injected outsole – pressure point release stud or mould configuration system. Minimal external 2-part heel counter contributing to additional stability.

Sock Liner

Removable sock liner designed with higher arch sidewall and TPE Wave pads for tight fitting and support of arch region. Anti slip forefront pad with high density rubber moulded shock resistant heel pad.

Concave attributes its patented technology on the top of the boot with giving players at all levels the ability to increase their ball striking skills — in the areas of power, accuracy and control — while also protecting against foot injuries. In fact, tests have demonstrated a 15 percent increase in power and 30 percent greater accuracy when striking the ball, over traditionally designed football boots.

The unique features of Concave football boots include:

Large sweet spot

Four times larger than the sweet spot on other boots on the market, the Concave design conforms to the shape of the ball to increase accuracy, power and control, and reduce errors. The concave shape matches the circumference of a size 5 FIFA ball exactly

Shank Balance Stabiliser

Provides support for the mid-foot area to help control balance between the front and rear of the foot. Lightweight two part injected TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer) in the footbed spreads the pressure put onto any one point in the foot, protecting against injuries caused by turning quickly, or contact injuries

MetaGuard

Provides protection to the top of the foot and will appeal to the safety conscious customer and parent

Sole plate

Adapted for the different outsoles to avoid pressure on the key points of the forefoot
