R.I.P.

 

I loved the Predator range. I think I'll be testing these in the summer, but can't really see any more boots topping the AdiPowers from Adidas.

 

yeah, its not quite the same anymore -


for me, I always loved the tongue cover, and the way the sole was spit, with material running under it! not to mention the 'power' areas running along the toe/instep. Think the predator X sort of killed my love for the predators

 

As a long time pred wearer I agree and cant begin to explain my disgust. Adidas have basically made all silos into cheap f50 crap in colors that attract 14 yr. olds. I cant decide whether to buy one last pair of adipowers before these ridiculous new preds come out or just call it quits with them altogether. Adipures= known for classic look and k-leather, 'lets make new ones without either!'. Preds= classic power boot, red and black, leather, iconic, 'lets make itunits and paste grooves on them to appeal to kiddies before the Euros!' Great ideas Adidas, I hope ppl continue to voice their opinions over this and their outrage, the entire marketing dept. of what was once the most reputable soccer company (imo) should be sacked. I wouldnt wear the new 'LZ's if they paid me to.

 

I agree to a certain extent... In reality it's a buisness and they will do what they need to do, but it does feel a bit extreme. Look at the bright side, for all we know these boots could be AMAZING!

 

I wanna see this.

 

Hey Alex408, I emailed you about your Voit Vapors and you never emailed me back.

 

so I'm told Euro 2012 colour way


team GB olympic colourway

 

silver always works.





why isn't there more silver colour ways?!

 

I think its because there aren't that many kits which use silver/silver socks - a lot of boots are designed around the colour ways of kits that a brand manufactures, which is why black, white, red and blue boots are the most common (as they are the most common kit colours) - I agree with you though, I'm a huge fan of Gold boots

 

WTF? Top eyelet like the last one?

 

I copied this product description for the adidas Predator LZ TRX FG...the upper material jumped out at me. Is the LZ upper a laminated natural leather or a plain synthetic?

Adidas Predator LZ TRX FG The deadliest tool set ever fitted to a boot, this predator wieghs a mere 225 grams and five zones for perfecrt ball control on firm ground. miCoach ready.Upper: SL rubber predator technology. five lethal zones for perfecrt ball control with every touch. Hybrid L-S supersoft upper with the benefits of both leather and synthetic.Lining : Newbuck-Touch heel lining for supersoft comfort.Inlayre-molded EVA sock liner with anti-slip EVA inserts Outsole: Compatible with miCoach. TRAXION 2.0 FG stud **configuration.

 

I'd say the LZ is purely synthetic.

 

Hey guys,

Many of you will have seen my posts in the past, and am just asking for a little favour from you all.

I'm currently doing an article for SoccerReviews, where I am a regular poster, and would like some content to put in the article. I am aiming to help people buy the correct football boot for the shape of their foot, since I have had periods of pain after splashing out on a pair of boots that didn't fit me correctly.

So, what I'd like is for all of you to put the boots you wear and what shape of foot you have below. A list would be fine or anything of that sort. I'd also appreciate any comments on 'why' you wear these specific boots.

Any feedback would be great.

Thanks guys,

Jon

EDIT: I just think I should clear up why I'd like your feedback. Instead of putting my own opinions, I think readers would appreciate other people's views on what boots to wear instead of just mine. Personally, I've grown frustrated with people saying; "Oh you should wear this boot for that reason." with no real explanation or anything of that sort. Having other peoples views to express to people would be better.

 

Feet: Narrow heel and mid foot, wide outer toe.
Boot: f50 adizero leather, ctr360 2 elite, t-5 and mundial team.

None of the boots above have ever given me any blisters.

 

Thanks noob-bob, is it okay if I use your name in the article?

 

Sure if you call me Noob

 

Okay

Make sure you keep an eye out for the article.

 

You bet I will, I read soccerreviews, soccerbible, footy-boots, soccerreviewsforyou and soccercleats101 several times a day. I used to read soccerreviews when it was SER too.

 

Feet: Medium sized heel and mid foot, smaller toe area.
Boot: Puma v1.11 line, Adidas Copa, Adidas Pathiqe, Tiempo Legend IV, Adipower Predator

I have more boot's too name but I like to get a half size and sometimes a full size smaller on leather boots. I prefer leather overall but sometimes weather conditions can be pretty bad, the v1.11's are my synthetic boot of choice as they fit my foot perfectly and the upper is very nice. I have had issues with the MiCoach Adizero being too wide in the toe area, Vapor's are a pain to break in but once that stage is over they fit like a charm.
