Sokito Scudetta took the football boot world by storm just over two years ago when William Troost-Ekong stepped out for Nigeria in the African Cup of Nations. Now Sokito have released the next evolution of the Scudetta in the BioTouch Emerald colourway, but how does it hold up and how do they compare to the previous model?
Firstly, let’s discuss the biggest change, the upper. The BioTouch features a completely new upper material that goes around the entire boot. It’s softer, more pliable and slightly more padded to provide a very natural and barefoot touch on the ball. Think of the synthetics of the 2010s era, but actually soft and not plasticky.
Compare that to the upper on the previous model, where it was just the biovamp material in the forefoot and the non-stretch material in the quarter. I would say that the BioTouch offers a more luxurious feel because of this change.
The comfort and fit of the boot has changed, and when I say changed, I mean upgraded! The boot now has a stitch-turn heel, and the entire inner lining of the boot uses a suede-like material which offers a premium and plush feel straight out of the box.
It feels like your feet melt into the boot. The tongue construction and laces are also different.
Sokito have made it such that they provide easier adjustability and make the fit more versatile to adapt to more foot types. Wearers of the original Scudetta would also be glad to know that the toe box has a bit more space as well, however I would still personally advise that most players get a half UK size up from what they would wear in a Nike or Adidas.
Sokito Scudetta Biotouch FG
The only thing that the boot retains from the original Scudetta is the soleplate. As the saying goes, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.
It still offers that responsive push off the ground and aggressive traction to feel sharper during cutting movements. These boots also still maintain Sokito’s message of sustainability, as they are still made mostly from recycled and biobased materials.
Overall, the Sokito Scudetta BioTouch has kept what made the original a success and built on top of it to make improvements based on community feedback and the natural evolution of football boot design. A great boot that a player of any level of the game would appreciate and enjoy wearing. If you’re thinking about picking up a pair, don’t think twice!
How we test football boots
Here at FourFourTwo, our boot testing procedure is all about getting boots on our feet and personally trying them out in kickabouts, training sessions and matches. Our writers test each pair over a number of weeks, in various playing conditions, in order to get a proper idea of what they're like on a football pitch.
This is the best way to find out if boots are better suited for firmer or softer ground, what level of traction they offer and how else they're geared towards improving a player's game. We're passionate about football boots and regularly attend launch events and Q&As to get as much information as possible from manufacturers and designers before we begin.
All of our reviews are honest (despite working with brands, nobody can "buy" a good review from us) and we always have real footballers in mind when giving recommendations.
