Performance on the Futsal Court
There are two aspects to these shoes that really set them apart from others on the market. The first thing is the ability to really connect with shots and strike solid shots, whether it be a dead ball or a quick toe poke. With so much material up front, it is extremely easy to get a clean, firm connection with the ball. It is a very different type of performance to something like the Adidas Speedtricks, which is better suited to quick tricks and sharp one touch play. The Gresca offers more structure and there is resistant force behind the upper as it connects with the ball.
The second characteristic is the soleplate and traction provided. At first look, there is a Wellington boot appearance to it, like a boot you would see a farmer wear. In a sense, it looks kind of intimidating. But in play it provides a fantastic level of traction and makes for the ideal configuration on a hard court surface. Up along the forefoot, there is a layer of circles with different dimensions, while the backfoot features hollowed grooves. The difference is the thickness of each region and its ability to gently flex in any direction, almost acting as a suspension system. With a thinner soleplate, you don’t get this type of performance!
