BOOT (defects and damages) - Show your pics!

A thread were we can show each other our defects and damages to our personal used football boots/soccer cleats.

Its always interesting to see the type of damages/defects that happens to boots.

(My adipower has split on the heel within 8 wears)
I have been told to send them back to adidas for inspection.

Yep, that isnt right. You shoudl get a new pair

Damn. That doesn't look good. I'll post crack on my AdiZero sole-plate tomorrow.

I could join with a few to this one

SF I's with sole seperation
SF II's with one broken stud at the stud that is looking like this ---> (-
And a pair of SF II's where the heel is opened, the stiching in the back is broken half og the way

HOW?!?! i dont understand how boots break for people?

I am just glad nothing like this has happened to me yet. (Knock on wood)

Just some input on my side, maybe along with the pictures you guys could include an explanation on how/what happened?

Dont know any why any of those things happened at me

I second that.I have no clue how it happened, maybe it's just a fault? I've never returned boots before so maybe I get a credit note or exchange. Not too sure.
Whilst i send these back to adidas, I got the gold adipower and also miadidas adipower arriving this week can't wait!

I have some tiempo's where one of the studs fell off.

My old ClimaCool PowerSwerves...awesome pair while they lasted.

Awesome idea for a thread, goodjob lucas !

3 of my Laser elite studs fell of. Obviously the 4th came off as well, just took a few more sessions.

Same thing happened with the standard lasers. Hard to tell from that picture i know, but eventually all the horizontally oriented studs fell off as well.

But wait, there's more! iD CTRs. glue pretty much melted. I think turf temp might have been 130 F that day.

Just to complete the laser tritecta, I also had the white/black/gold k-leathers and GUESS WHAT HAPPENED!!

Surely you sent them back for a refund or exchange??? Thats shocking for that to happen!

DO you play on turf thats outdoors? Its not very often in england you get turf outdoors. Theres plenty of powerleagues that are indoor turf so there not hot. There are a few outdoor turf pitches but there not too common

really?!?!?!

all the powerleague and turf fields i go to are outdoors. ive only been to one in door powerleague which was in old street central london. ive never had problems with the heat of turf in summer not studs dropping off.mind you england summer to us summer is completely different.

Guys,
C-dub57 is located in the US. I forgot where he said it happened but I remember him warning me about this because I just bought some Laser III.

yeah i knew he was. i was responding to lnicholson29 regarding turf in uk. these riots are a joke dont think football will be on tomo, turf field may have been set alight

What riots are you guys talking about?

Riots all over London, other incidents popping up across the country as well in Liverpool, Birmingham etc. Started as peaceful protest on Saturday but quickly escalated into rioting and looting, basically a load of idiots stealing and trashing things for the fun of it...

and setting alight shops and supermarkets. its like something from a film. there was three shop set alight where i live!!!! my road was masked by dark grey smoke

Holy crap!!!! Why did they start? What are they protesting?

They're not protesting anything, its just thugs stealing stuff. Got way out of hand now, waiting for it to start in my neck of the woods.

all started on saturday as a man was shoot dead by the police in north london (tottenham) and they was protesting. the protest finished then the hoodlums as i call them rebelled and started to riot, looting shops and set alight shops.

now the WHOLE of london has gone crazy and are just looting and setting buildings on fire!!!! someone in croydon has just been shoot. what has this world come to. they are fighting and destroying the local communities.

where you live?

Police shot dead a man in North London on Friday/Saturday, circumstances around it are a bit unclear as to who shot first but apparently the guy was a drug dealer/yardie gangster. Friends and family started a peaceful protest in Tottenham which got out of hand pretty quickly. Everything else seems like it pretty unrelated to that and people are just using that and other issues (poverty, etc) as an excuse to go on the ramage, and steal and destroy as much as they can basically.

Just the scum in this country bringing everyone down basically, destroying family businesses that have been around for generations, setting light to peoples homes and cars, attacking the police and causing trouble.
