Umbro Geometra Pro Football Boots - Carbon/White/Marigold
The Umbro Geometra Pro receives another lick of paint - this time in spectacular, no-nonsense fashion. Umbro have kept it simple, delivering what boot fans are constantly crying out for - a simple black and white colourway. Or in brand-speak, Carbon/White/Marigold. Check them out and let us know what you think.
The modern flavour hasn't disappeared. Umbro feature Marigold lacing. We can imagine anyone buying these quickly reaching for a set of black or white laces from their kit bag. The studs are also coloured but don't take away from the traditional feel of the boot.
This boot certainly tops our list of recent Umbro releases. The colourway lends itself perfectly to the design of the Geometra, with the black and white contrasting on the outside and instep of the boot. We're eager to see which players on the professional scene get their hands on a pair, with Newcastle's Jonas Gutierrez the obvious candidate!
The Umbro Geometra Pro soccer shoes feature a full grain ceramic leather, thicker than average leather to build more strength into the pass, with a 'grip surface' on the instep toe-area of the boot. This robustness is further enhanced by the inclusion of a solid heel wrap and stabiliser to help resist those crunching tackles!
The main feature of the Umbro Geometra Pro is the ECZ - Energy Control Zone - which has been designed to absorb excess energy quicker for better ball control. The memory foam pass pad sits on the instep of the Geometra Pro and consists of high density foam.
Sitting next to the ECZ are new dampening pads positioned towards the inside rear of the boot. Labelled as 'Medial Pads', the technically surfaced pads contain memory foam for enhanced ball control.
The laces built into the side of the Umbro Geometra Pro create a large striking zone and allow for a wider opening to the boot to aid comfort. Extra grip on the foot is added by a built in sock liner that hugs the foot to create the associated comfort we have come to expect from Umbro football boots.
Another key feature is the swerve coated 'grip surface' visible on the inside toe-area of the Umbro Geometra Pro soccer cleats. This material is technically applied to the Geometra vamp to allow an improved ball feel in wet and dry conditions whilst offering better distribution abilities.
The new Carbon/White/MarigoldUmbro Geometra Pro football boots are available to pre-order now from selected online stockists. A real plus point for the Geometra's is their price, which is considerably lower than rival boots in the same category, set around £90 GBP / $150 USD / €100 EURO.
