Comfort

The Umbro SX Valor is composed of ultra soft high grade ‘water resistant ceramic duratec kangaroo leather’ for great ball feel and excellent anti-abrasion performance, whilst keeping the player’s foot dry in wet conditions. The football boot’s profile has been developed on the wider comfort fit last to give the foot more space to breathe.
