    Nope. They're out end of July.

    I don't know any stores that sell the Neo.

    You'll struggle to find either of the Puma ones, but the LZs will be everywhere!

    Ok, thanks. Still not too sure about the LZ, as I prefer leather boots. But then again, i don't want to buy another pair of Adipowers because of the durability. If the fit/comfort is anything like the Adipowers and they're more durable, I think I'm going to buy them.

    Hello ..
    Has anyone wore a female boot?
    I wonder because I'll ask my brother-in-law to bring me two or three pairs of the United States.
    Normally prices of female models are 20-30% cheaper than the male models...
    It is true to compare to 1.5 size bigger among female models in relation to men?
    Thanks a lot...

    Adidas Copa Mundial short review:
    Sizing - Runs quite large. I usually buy my leather boots at 7.5, did it with these...kind of a mistake, should've gone with 6.5 or 7. The problem was fixed by using a gel sole over the default insole.

    Comfort - The Copas are ridiculously comfortable, I've been wearing them ALL day long, only took them off to drive to and from practice and to shower. They are the first boots to not give me blisters in any part of the feet in my first wear.

    Touch - The touch is good, my ball control and passing skills are not hindered, but maybe even helped by the subtlety of the kangaroo leather

    Traction - The studs are rather short, so I don't really recommend these for softer grounds or firm-soft terrains. Hard ground and synthetic is probably where you would get better traction. The stud configuration is very nice so the studs don't hurt your feet.

    Misc. - The laces are quite long and the tongue/lace cover could be awkward for some, although this could be classified more as subjective and can be dealt with without major problem.

    All in all the Copa Mundials are incredible, I bought them in hope of finding a comfortable boot that would not hurt me in the harsh terrains that I play and I have found it. The boot looks solid and classy, the leather is remarkably soft...even one of my teammates saw them today and said: "Dude, those books look way comfy!". The quality/price ratio is just absurd, I don't think I will be buying a different model of boots any time soon. Every football player should own a pair of Copas at least once in their career, be it amateur or professional.


    Edit: I got the boots today if you didn't noticed. I'll post some pictures of my new babies tomorrow when I get my camera.

    I'm female, Adidas used to send me women's boots and they were really really narrow across the middle of the foot. I don't have Really wide feet but I just found them to be narrow and gave my middle foot cramp. If I was you I'd try them on before you commit to buying lots of pairs, personally fit wise I prefer men's.

    I see a lot of shoe experts here and want to ask if anyone can recommend shoes with good arch support for plantar fasciitis. I've had it for 7 months and nothing seems to help. Tried rest, icing, drugs, therapy, stretching, different insoles and heel cups, sleeping with the night splint for the past 7 months. The combination of all of these helps, but the thing won't go away. I got the new adidas F50 adizero TRX when it started but made my plantar f. worse so I had to go back to my old lottos. Now I play with some padding which helps but wearing any type of insoles doesn't work. It's just too lose. I play on turf.

    Any suggestions for a good pair of soft cleats out there is welcome. Thanks.

    you said you tried different insoles and heel cups but were they custom orthotics? cause that could be your main problem...

    Any1 that buys "used" boots.....
    Do you do anything to clean or freshen them up inside before you wear them?
    Never bought a pair before, watching a pair just now on ebay that have only been "used a couple of times". Just wondering if theres anything ppl do to them before using them , cheers

    I use disinfectant spray for the used boots I purchase. You do not want to pick up a foot fungus from previously owned boots!

    Hey guys, my friend told me that you can return your adidas cleats if they are broken and adidas will send you a gift certificate for it. I've had the f50s chameleon http://www.soccerbible.com/cfs-file...-boots.adizero.chame/cham_5F00_syn_5F00_m.jpg .. They are the $200 ones. They have a small tear on the front where the laces start. Do you think adidas will let me return those? I've had them for 1 year now. Thanks

    For plantar fasciitis, I would try the Asics Tigreors.

    You probably won't be able to get a voucher because

    A) they aren't a current design
    B) if you have been using them for a year then of course you are going to get wear and tear on the boots. They aren't going t last forever.

    Post a picture of the damage but personally I don't thik you'd qualify for a voucher. If you'd worn them once and something happened fair enough but not after a years wear thats asking a little too much.

    Yeah.. I do not know which cleats to get. I really like the new adipures, predators and the 11 pro.This is my second pair of adizeros and I absolutely love them.. I'm in a major dilemma now lol.
