Despite just being launched 12 months ago, Lotto have released an updated version of the Fuerzapura L100 football boots. Dispensing with the synthetic versions, Lotto have concentrated on creating a quality leather boot with effective results! Check out our full reveal of the Lotto Fuerzapura II L100 football boots...
Launched back in July 2010, the Lotto Fuerzapura L100 football boots were a brand new boot silo from Lotto. However, at the time we couldn't help but feel the Fuerzapura was echoing the Zhero range and therefore it was difficult to view it as a stand alone boot range. But with the release of the Fuerzapura II, Lotto have sent out a real statement of intent with unique styling and a soft, comfortable K leather upper.
So what exactly does 'Fuerzapura' mean? Well, it's translation is Pure Force, and whilst the first incarnation featured synthetic material either side of the lacing system to assist ball distribution and shooting, the Fuerzapura II's Pure Force must be attributed to the outsole which is packed with innovative technologies.
The most radical move by Lotto for the Fuerzapura II L100 soccer cleats is to drop the synthetic versions, and focus on creating a quality and comfortable water-repellant K leather boot. But as expected from the Italian brand, Lotto have really done an impressive job because the toe area is extremely soft in-hand, and reminiscent of the some of the classic Lotto boots, meaning great comfort and ball feel.
The stand-out feature of the Lotto Fuerzapura II football boots are the Cyber Yellow panels sticthed to the sides of the boots, and incorporated into the lacing system. There's definitely a Flywire feel about these panels, with the additional material cradling the foot when the laces are tightened, to hold into place and offer unrivalled support.
As we mentioned before, a lot of the tech advancements are to be found in the outsole of the Lotto Fuerzapura II L100 soccer shoes. Introduced is Lotto's heel control, built-in to ensure correct heel support and control, whilst the Fuerzapura's once again incorporate the Twist'nGo and ReActive Arch.
To compliment the upper and player performance, the Lotto Fuerzapura II features Lotto's ReActive Arch technology. The concave shaped sole provides cushioning, stability and reactivity, to flex and move in unison with the natural movement of the transverse arch. As a further performance benefit, the ridges on the upper part of the Fuerzapura insole provide arch massage, to aid circulation and the absorption of lactic acid.
The sole-plate of the Lotto Fuerzapura II L100 football boots incorporates Lotto's unique Twist'nGo pivoting stud. Managing the impact and stresses of fast directional changes, the Twist'nGo stud is designed to improve performance whilst accelerating, stopping and turning, and also reduces the risk of injury.
For us, it's a welcome return to quality leather engineering from Lotto, aided by some innovative tech advancements. The brand new Lotto Fuerzapura II L100 football boots are available to pre-order now ahead of hitting the shelves on 1st July, and should cost around £110 GBP / $145 USD / €130 EURO.
