A leather boot aimed at power-focused players, the Concave Halo Plus Pro pairs kangaroo leather with a hybrid soleplate and a wider last. Reviewers say it feels light, gives strong control and has reliable firm-ground grip. Several reviewers warn the outer finish can come off, which hurts durability.
Released in 2017 as an elite-tier boot, the Halo Plus Pro v2 uses A-grade kangaroo leather for the upper with a neoprene inner lining.
The sole uses a hybrid plate with two anti-torsion bars and a mixed stud layout; soft-ground versions replace some molded studs with screw-in studs for wet, muddy pitches. The AccuStrike Railing System is a named feature that sits on the upper to assist striking.
Concave lists the boot as a wider, roomier fit compared with mainstream lasts. The stated weight is 236 grams per shoe and the listed MSRP is 219. This model is positioned for players who prioritise power and shot accuracy and follows the earlier Halo+ Pro generation.
The Halo Plus Pro targets attacking midfielders and strikers who prioritise shot power and accuracy, plus forwards who prefer a leather feel for finishing. The leather upper and the AccuStrike Railing System support a power-and-control type of performance rather than a pure speed boot. Players who want the narrowest, lowest-volume fit may prefer a different model.
The roomier last also makes it a practical choice for players with wider feet. Level-wise it sits with elite-tier offerings; players who need the most abrasion-resistant finish or a very close lockdown should consider alternative boots.
Reviews describe the Halo Plus Pro as comfortably protective on foot, combining the leather upper and neoprene lining to deliver a cushioned, stable feel in play (Pro:Direct Soccer; Boot Wizard). That practical outcome means the boot is usable for typical 90-minute sessions without reviewers calling comfort a limiting factor.
Comfort evidence: Pro:Direct Soccer says the boot 'gives you a fantastic amount of protection and comfort.'

At 236 grams per shoe the Halo Plus Pro sits at a light point for leather boots; two outlets note the weight as a positive characteristic and describe the boot simply as light (Pro:Direct Soccer; Boot Wizard). In practice this translates to a leather boot that does not feel excessively heavy for players who value mass close to modern lightweight standards.
Weight evidence: Boot Wizard notes 'these come in at 236 grams.'

Concave specifies a wider, roomier fit and reviewers reflect that, describing a snug yet forgiving fit overall (manufacturer description; Pro:Direct Soccer). One outlet recommends going down half a size to obtain a closer fit, which matters for players who prefer a tighter lockdown for striking or cutting movements (Boot Wizard).
Practical implication: wider-foot players should find the last accommodating, but those seeking a very close, low-volume fit should consider downsizing.
size-wise I went down half a size in these con caves now this is something I strongly recommend doing. Boot Wizard
The hybrid soleplate and stud layout deliver dependable grip on firm ground, and reviewers report good traction in play on FG surfaces (Pro:Direct Soccer; Boot Wizard). The model's mixed studs and anti-torsion bars are the structural features that create that grip, with soft-ground variants using screw-in studs for muddy conditions.
Practical implication: traction is suitable for firm-ground accelerations and cuts but assessments are limited to firm-ground testing in the reviews provided.
which basically gives you optimal traction um on firm ground pitches.. Pro:Direct Soccer
Control is a recurring positive in the evidence: one reviewer rates it highly for control and frames the boot as particularly effective for that purpose (Pro:Direct Soccer). For players who prioritise striking accuracy and ball manipulation in attacking scenarios, this was the primary performance claim made by reviewers.
Control evidence: Pro:Direct Soccer states 'Fantastic for control.'

The kangaroo leather upper produces a close, leather-like touch rather than a true barefoot feeling; one reviewer describes the touch as leaning toward barefoot but not fully in that category (Boot Wizard). Practically, this means players should expect a responsive leather contact that retains some padding and structure.
Touch evidence: Boot Wizard says 'the touch on the ball I wouldn't necessarily describe this as barefoot but it's certainly leaning that way'.

Durability is the most critical weakness appearing in the reviews: one outlet reports the chrome finish on the leather comes off easily, describing the finish as not particularly premium (Boot Wizard). That comment implies the upper's cosmetic layer and possibly treated surfaces may show wear faster than expected for an elite leather boot.
Practical implication: players who prioritize a long-lived, pristine leather finish or who play predominantly on abrasive surfaces should be cautious and monitor the upper's finish over time.
it's not the most premium chrome finish it comes off very very easily. Boot Wizard
They are best for attacking midfielders and strikers, players who prioritise power and shot accuracy. The kangaroo leather and the AccuStrike Railing System and reviewer comments about control and touch point to a power-oriented boot for attacking players rather than a pure speed or narrow, tempo-focused boot.
Historically the Halo line is known to attract players who are power- and strike-focused; if a specific roster of professionals must be named, describe the player type above as the primary wearer.
The listed weight is 236 grams per shoe, and reviewers describe the Halo Plus Pro as light in its category.
Size-wise the reviews indicate a roomier last but recommend trying a half-size down; one reviewer explicitly said they went down half a size and strongly recommend doing so.
The Halo Plus Pro is primarily intended for firm ground; soft-ground variants with screw-in studs are offered separately for wet, muddy pitches. Reviewers specifically praise firm-ground traction.
Durability is a concern in the reviews: one outlet reports the chrome finish comes off easily, suggesting the upper finish may show wear sooner than some premium leather boots.
Bottom line, The Halo Plus Pro suits players who prioritise leather touch and shot control from attacking positions but who accept a lighter-weight leather boot with a finish that reviewers say scuffs easily. Anyone needing a narrow fit or the most robust finish should look elsewhere.
