Two of Nomis’ most popular boot designs have come out on top in this year’s Soccer International Magazine Boot Test, beating big name brand competitors including adidas, Nike, Puma, Reebok and Umbro.
Coming out in the number one spot with a perfect score in each of the five Boot Test categories was the Nomis Wet Control Glove. Following closely behind in second place was the Nomis Spark Blue Wave Firm Ground boot.
Both Nomis boots scored top marks for the three all-important performance related categories: “touch/feel”; “comfort”; and “stability/manoeuvrability”. They also received perfect scores for the “value for money” category. The only category where The Spark didn’t receive full marks was “aesthetics”, where the boot still managed a healthy score of four out of five.
Soccer International’s Boot Test panel was made up of former NSL players Bill Damianos, Steve Iosifidis, Steve Karavitakis, Con Anthopoulos, Lev Osman and former Socceroo striker Joe Spiteri. The highly qualified and experienced team put each of the 34 test boot candidates through their paces, testing and rating them to see if the manufacturers’ boot claims lived up to their reality.
Steve Losifidis was particularly impressed by the Nomis Glove: "By far the best boot I've ever come across. The complete package."
Bill Damianos particularly enjoyed the comfort level provided by the Nomis Spark: "Not one blister either at training or at a game. Extremely comfortable." Con Anthopoulous agreed with Damianos: "The most comfortable boot I have ever worn. Incredible comfort."
It is a fantastic achievement for a new brand such as Nomis to be receiving such high praise from seasoned professionals, particularly against such well-established brands such as adidas and Nike. Notably, neither the adidas Predator Absolute nor the adidas Predator Absolion achieved top marks in any of the ratings categories. Tying for third place in the Boot Test were the Andreas Futura and the Lotto Sadio, followed by the Hummel Villa Park.
