A lightweight, elite-level speed boot for women made in 2025 with a thin engineered mesh upper called WAVEKNIT+ 2.0 and a PEBAX plastic soleplate with short, rounded studs. Reviewers say it feels very light, gives a close touch on the ball and holds the heel securely. The studs and overall scores sit in the mid-range.
Released in 2025 as the pro model in the new IDA Helia line, the Helia Pro is marketed as an elite, women-focused speed boot with an MSRP of 259.
Upper and construction: WAVEKNIT+ 2.0 mesh upper. The upper is a lightweight, engineered mesh. The line's stated 3D touch system means there are shaped or textured zones across the upper designed to help with ball feel.
Soleplate and studs: PEBAX soleplate with a custom stud pattern made up of short, rounded FG/AG studs. The short, rounded studs are intended for use on firm natural grass and 3G artificial turf.
Named technologies and cushioning: WAVEKNIT+ 2.0, a PEBAX soleplate, supercritical foam inside the sock area, and a custom stud pattern are all specified. Fit is reported to run true to size.
The Helia Pro is aimed at pace-focused attackers: wingers, forwards and attacking full-backs. It suits players who want a very light boot and a thin, close touch for quick touches and acceleration. It is built as a professional-level, women-specific speed model and uses a consistent factory last that runs true to size.
Players who need heavy protection, a very robust feel or proven long-term durability should choose more control- or power-oriented models instead.
Reviewers place traction in the mid-range, with an average around 7.3 out of 10. The PEBAX soleplate has short, rounded studs meant for firm grass and 3G surfaces, and reviewers say this supports use on both pitch types.
Practical implication: expect reliable grip for acceleration on firm grass and 3G. Do not expect elite-level interlock or exceptional hold beyond the moderate scores reported.
'The shorter studs allows the boots to be used on both FG and AG surfaces with relative ease'. FourFourTwo
Touch is a clear strength. Reviewers report a thin, close feel on the ball helped by the 3D touch system built into the upper. This gives confident feedback when striking the ball.
Practical implication: players who like a barefoot-like, low-profile contact should find the Helia Pro responsive for first touch and striking.
'+ Thin touch on the ball'. FourFourTwo
Fit is reported to run true to size and is made on a consistent factory last, so the shape matches other models in the line.
Reviewers note a secure heel and an overall snug fit. The heel area holds the foot in place once the boot is on, which helps lockdown during play.
'they've nailed every aspect of that fit.'. Footloose Boots
Control and striking are aided by engineered zones in the lightweight mesh upper. Reviewers rate control at roughly 7.5 out of 10 and say the upper has enough structure to avoid a sloppy contact zone.
Practical implication: the upper balances thinness for touch with targeted structure for consistent striking, making it suitable for players who want responsive ball control without extra padding.
'featuring a lightweight mesh upper with engineered zones for striking the ball.'. IDA
IDA and reviewers say the Helia Pro is the lightest boot in the Helia family. Weight is highlighted as a defining characteristic and gets positive scores.
Practical implication: the low mass helps quick acceleration and can reduce fatigue over short sprint bursts, matching the boot's speed-focused role.
'The Helia Pro is our lightest weight cleat'. IDA
Comfort comments focus on the heel, which reviewers say hugs the foot securely once worn. The supercritical foam in the sock area is part of the construction, but long-term cushioning performance is not covered in the sourced evidence.
Practical implication: expect a secure, low-profile fit around the heel that reviewers say is comfortable for short-to-medium sessions.
'this heel just once your foot is in, it just hugs it so securely, you kind of forget about it, which to me is a sign of a really good heel area.'. Footloose Boots
The Helia Pro is best for pace-oriented attackers: wingers, forwards and attacking full-backs. Its lightweight mesh upper, thin touch profile and speed positioning make it a speed-boot rather than a control or power model.
They suit pace-focused wingers, forwards and attacking full-backs rather than central midfielders or defenders who want more protection and long-range passing comfort.
Yes. The Helia Pro is stated to run true to size and the line uses a consistent factory last, so most players should buy their normal size.
They are intended for firm ground and 3G artificial turf. The soleplate uses short, rounded FG/AG studs designed for both surfaces according to the product notes and reviews.
IDA says the Helia Pro is the lightest cleat in the Helia line and reviewers give it high weight scores. No exact grams are provided in the sourced evidence, but the boot is positioned and reviewed as especially light.
Bottom line, A purpose-built, pro-level speed boot for women who prioritize light weight and a close touch; players who need heavy-duty traction data or a more all-round cleat should look elsewhere.
