Adidas Thread [12] - Post info, pics & questions here!

Has anyone in the USA ordered from Lovell Rugby/soccer before?

When I track my order through Royal Mail it says they have handed it off to the US Postal Service, but when I track it through their site it says that the "origin post is preparing the shipment" and it has been saying that since last Thursday. I am getting anxious about my Adipower HG's.

 

I've had it say that when its been @ my door. Not the best tracking out there.

 

Ok, just making sure my package was still in transit and not just sitting in the corner of some shipping warehouse in some unknown country.

 

Same here. I ordered last Wednesday and they still haven't sent a dispatch email.

 

I was sent a dispatch email. I would email them and check on that.

 

Any chance of a review of adipower hg from someone who´s already got their hands on a pair? How is the fit in the heel, flexibility of the soleplate etc. Would be greatly appreciated!

 

I had to send mine back, they were just too tight. The adipower FG I wore in a uk11 had plenty of room between my toe and the end of the boot and I doubled socked when wearing them. My toe was rammed up against the end of the boot in the HG uk11. Gutted isn't the word as they were such well made boots!

 

guessing most of you are going to get these?

 

Just picked up a pair of black/warning adipowers for $25 at Ross. Still in shock.

 

can I have the link?

 

Ross is a outlet type store here in the States.

 

Ok...

 

Ah, now you've got me worried. I am really excited about these but I am worried I will finally get them and they will be too small and they will be out of stock so I won't be able to exchange them for another size.

What else can you tell me about the fit? Did the leather stretch at a lot like the FG? Was it annoyingly tight, uncomfortably tight, or painfully tight?

I ordered a 9.5US which usually fits pretty snug. I like my toes to be as close as possible to the front of the boot without being uncomfortable. I am starting to think I should just by another size up just in case and return the others once they finally arrive.

I emailed Lovell Soccer/Rugby about the tracking problem and they said that it will say "origin post is preparing shipment" until the boots clear customs. So we'll see what happens it has already been over a week.

 

apple how can you not like them? explain yourself women...

at least they are getting the sprintframe colour right now with the rest of the colour way

 

Ok, I will let you off this time..

 

adidas Predator LZs. Lets get real. I felt like I was wearing webbed feet with skateboard tape on my toes. Lame adidas... lets make some general public release cleats that actually reflect the player issue version.

 

I really love this colorway and am so tempted on getting a pair (in the JR size) but its gona be another big hole burnt in my pocket.

 

I didn't wear them to play in so I can't say if the leather will stretch. They were uncomfortably tight, you could see the shape of my big toe through the leather. I wear an 11uk in all nike/umbro boots and my left foot could easily wear a 10 1/2 as it is my smaller foot but these boots were even tight on my left foot. The toe box is very narrow and low. Hopefully as you like your boots tight they will be ok for you and they will stretch as you play.

 

Just got some custom miAdidas F50s in. My opinion on the boot is pretty high. The calf leather is more supple than I expected and the out-of-the-box fit is quite nice for me as it offers more midfoot volume than the Nike's I'm used to. To the eye, they also appear to be constructed to a higher standard than said Nike's. Unfortunately, they run a tad long for my foot so I can't say much about the performance beyond that until I get another pair. I straddle between an 8US and 7.5US (8 in Tiempo Elite, 8 in Maestri 3, 7.5 in Vapor) and having not worn Adidas in over 5 years I gambled on the size and lost. As such, PM me if you're interested in taking these off my hands.

**Edit: They are size 8US.

I'm not a big fan of the super flashy colorways so the miAdidas program is almost a must for me these days:

 

I thought I'd post my experience in adiPowers. Performance wise, they are fantastic. But we're not discussing that. In terms of sizing, my left foot is an 8UK, and my right is like a 7.5UK.. Bit of a pain as you can imagine. But the adiPowers felt wonderful - not many boots other than that do.

I have a medium ish width foot. My right foot has a bunion, which bulged the leather out of shape, and lead to an eventual tear in that place. Well, not eventual, it happened in the first game, but that's irrelevant. The heel fit tight I thought, it wrapped my ankle nicely when I pulled the laces tightly, which felt great while playing. The mid-foot is very narrow. That's where most people's problems lie I feel.

In other boots, I wear an 8UK in pretty much everything except Specialis.. The length was bang on, but wide feet would struggle with the fit of the adiPower. If you have a medium/narrow foot.. You'll be absolutely right as rain and love them.
