Astro turf and indoor boots thread - Everything turf and indoor related

Thanks for the advice! I'm playing obviously on turf so I wouldn't think shock absorption is a problem as it's a very soft surface. I think it's the shoe or at least how I am running in the shoe because for years I wore the Beckham Predator PowerSwerve indoors and never had any shin problems. I wish they still made those fyi! hmmmm, maybe I will get my feet checked out.

Turf is actually harder, because there is cement under the turf, That is what is causing your shin splints alot of times. Its the hard services.

Well here's the next wave of Elasticos
Next Gatos They're also releasing a suede version of the Gato soon.

I swear I had saved pictures of the next line on my photobucket account, but it's not there. Sorry

Which indoor shoe (brand) has a good, wide, footbed for flat feet?

My ADICORE 4 indoor shoes are causing a ton of pain in my instep after an hour of play and I think it's because the footbed is too narrow.

Just picked these up. http://i55.tinypic.com/2mrtu6a.jpg

Just picked these up for my 6 a side team and I LOVE them

Meh, they're ok. Mine ripped, so I sent them back to Nike. One of the lace holes ripped at the top.

I still prefer real leather.

Love me my mizuno turf boots.

I need some turf boots.

Damn they ripped? That's annoying. It is weirdly bonded together on the instep towards the top. I really hope mine don't rip

the adi5 range seems to be big where i play 6-a side, though copa's seems to be everyones main choice..

i really need some indoor trainers though

Yeah I have a couple of buddies with adi5's they seem to like them. They are very thin and soft though

Adi5 X was easily the best indoor boot I've ever worn. Last a good 2 years. Great feel. Only thing I didn't like was the non-removeable insole, which I ended up removing anyways and scraping off the white foam under it.

I wear my adi5 for indoor, though I do like them I don't like the mesh upper

Yea, the eyelet thingy ones ripped out. The stitching gave way.

I started wearing Joma Top Flex turfs a couple weeks ago. They are amazing.

Another fan of the adi 5 here! That mesh feels very thin, but I've never gotten wet feet playing in them. Hurts like hell if some pillock wearing studs on the old, short turf stands on your foot, but they're good shoes and the older styles are still fairly easy to get for cheap.

Do AG sole plates provide much better traction and release on than traditional turf sole plates on the newer 3G synthetic fields? I feel like the grip from FG's might be over kill and was wondering which was the better alternative AG's or Turfs or if they perform about the same.

New inddors

Is it fine to use the nike5 bomba finale on hard ground grass?

i've worn them on both natural and synthetic grass. i thought they had good traxion on both surfaces.

How do the adidas adi5 X-ite Turf Shoes fit?
My size in Adipure IV's are 7.5, but in Nike Air Legends they are 8.5, and in regular shoes I wear a 8.5

I have a pair of X-ites and I got size 9 which is my regular size but I would have gone a half size smaller if I had a choice. I just double sock it now. I don't know how Nike compares to adidas sizing as I only wear adidas.

i like them, but I'm not keen on the mesh now I've worn them in they have lost there shape and just look crap tbh aha.

whereas my nike t-7 I've held up a lot better shape wise
