Professional Look
Modelling itself on the elite ACE 16.1, you get the look of a professional boot along with great performance.

While the 3D Control Web and NSG are absent, the synthetic upper still makes for great comfort and does a great job of looking the part. With thick padding wrapped around the ankle and heel, added stability comes courtesy of the internal heel counter. The lacing also returns to a more traditional central position, still leaving plenty of room on the instep to make a sweet connection with.

New Sole Design
One aspect that's been given a significant overhaul is that of the natural, soft ground sole plate. Previously it was all about putting more studs on the ball but for the Ace 16.3 there's considerably less in stud numbers for a streamlined design that plays a major part in reducing the overall weight. Comprising of six metal, removable studs and the remainder moulded, triangular ones, you remain light on your feet in even the most demanding conditions.

This boot weighs 278g (UK 8.5).
