Umbro unveiles futsal boots Chaleira Pro

Umbro have unveiled a brand new shoe designed for futsal players who take their game seriously – the Chaleira Pro. Designed in partnership with the brand’s Brazilian partners, the shoe has been created to meet the particular demands of the fast-paced, skilful sport, using insights from players around the world. 

The shoe was developed in Brazil - homeland of futsal - and the name of the shoe comes from the word used by Brazilians to describe a particularly skillful futsal move. Umbro was really keen on developing a shoe extremely professional, the priorities set by the English brand were: the flexibility in the forefoot, the support cage secures the foot for a locked-in fit and the cushioning in key areas, as the short, sharp changes in direction and hard surfaces common in the game exert extra pressure on the ankles and knees. As the primary contact area with the ball, the outsole is also hugely important to futsal players. As well as the flex grooves and impact zone, the outsole also featured a 360-degree pivot zone, which allows for greater traction during the twists and turns that are integral to futsal. The grooves in the outsole also help to increase grip by channeling dust and dirt from the futsal pitch. 

The new Umbro Chaleira Pro will be available in a Plum Caspia, Black, Eclipse and Lava Pink colourway from Friday 2nd February 2018.
