In the 1980s and 1990s, various styles of soccer shoes from the Italian brand Lotto became the must-have shoes for soccer players in Taiwan. At that time, it was not difficult to see Lotto's shoes in a soccer match in Taiwan, as long as the focus was on the feet of many players. To this day, Lotto is still very familiar and full of memories to Taiwanese soccer fans over 30 or 40 years old, and it still has a certain share of popularity and influence.

Lotto's sportswear and footwear manufacturing originated in Italy, where clothing design is extremely developed. Coupled with Italy's profound soccer culture and the large number of people who participate in the sport, Lotto's designs have always been close to the buyer, with comfort and practicality as its priority. However, unlike brands such as Adidas, Nike, and PUMA, which have set up their own physical stores in various counties and cities in Taiwan, Lotto combines a wide range of sporting goods stores in various counties and cities, making it necessary for Lotto to know the stores that cooperate with it in order to sell the footwear it sells! As a result, young people born in this century, or those who have just recently come into contact with soccer, do not have a very deep impression of the Lotto brand .......
Nevertheless, Lotto has continued to introduce various types of soccer shoes in recent years, and the SOLISTA series, compared to other well-known European and American brands, has more space in the front part of the foot. This is a relatively friendly and comfortable choice for East and Southeast Asian communities, who have slightly wider feet in the front of the foot, to engage in soccer, and the shoe inherits the design tradition of Lotto's soccer shoes in the past, which is suitable for casual soccer and even low- and medium-intensity competitions.

When I received the SOLISTA 700 VI FG soccer cleats from Lotto, I saw that the box and the label of the soccer cleats had a strong appeal of Better than your best, which is obviously an extreme challenge to Lotto itself. Especially in recent years, major international famous sports brands have continued to launch new soccer shoes, and there is a wide range of soccer shoes on the market, for every soccer player, there can never be a uniform standard answer.
For this reason, Lotto, which has launched many soccer shoes in Italy and around the world over the past hundred years, has recently launched the SOLISTA series of soccer shoes, which are still diversified, and there are suitable styles for both grass and flat surfaces.
Recently, the SOLISTA 700 VI FG has been introduced to Taiwan, and is expected to meet the needs of users who are interested in practicing and playing low to medium intensity matches. As the upper of SOLISTA 700 VI FG is made of 100% polyurethane and the sole is made of 100% thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, the weight of the shoes is not light, and it is not a shoe for wingers or strikers who are in pursuit of light weight, but it is suitable for soccer players who need to change directions frequently, especially for those who need to make a lot of pirouettes and torsion movements.
Although the SOLISTA 700 VI FG soccer cleat does not have the heat-melted knit upper from the heel up to the ankle like the SOLISTA 100 IV GRAVITY FG or SOLISTA 300 II GRAVITY FG, it is still suitable for regular soccer practice and low to medium intensity games. The streamlined grooves on the back of the foot to guide the ball, and the five layers of slightly triangular ripples on the front of the sole are still suitable for normal soccer practice and low to medium intensity matches, which is very different from Lotto's past soccer cleats, and is Lotto's traditional soccer cleat style.
Lotto has been deeply engaged in Taiwan's soccer for many years, and knows that the soft and hard environment of Taiwan's soccer game is still inferior to that of the developed European or American countries. Therefore, when introducing Lotto's soccer shoes to the Taiwan market, Lotto tries to focus on traditional practice styles and cost-effective shoe series, such as the LZG VIII 200 FG soccer shoes, which were introduced to Taiwan for sale in the past few years and designed with the three primary colors of the Italian flag, whose price was much higher than that of Lotto's other soccer shoes, which was a rare move for Lotto's previous sales of soccer shoes. This time, due to Lotto's sponsorship of the 111th Annual New Taipei City Football Competition organized by the Football Committee of the New Taipei City Sports Federation, the author was consulted for the testing experience of the SOLISTA 700 VI FG soccer cleats.
