The Golden Slipper One of the classiest boots out there today deserves its own thread. I was hoping we could bring as much info on here as we can because there really isn't much out there on the web. So please post any reviews, feedback, comments, questions, or info on here! I know a lot of people definitely benefit from it. Especially any sizing guides. I'll be grabbing a pair of Lazzarini's come October so i'll keep you guys posted!
I always wanted a pair of Dreams, but that was before I got into mizuno (3 years ago). If I could ever try on a pair or get a good deal on them, I would definitely jump at the chance. They just look class, but I'd prefer if they did a pair in white. haha
They do have a couple of different models in white. I remember when I was a kid soccer.com had them, and since then I always wanted a pair. Now you can only get them from PDS. They are a little bit pricey, but I think in the end it'll be worth it.
There is a us website which has a MASSIVE selection of these boots more than PDS. I'm on my iPhone so I'll post it up 2mo evening when I'm bac home.
There is also this one: http://www.best-for.com/index.html It seems legit. Definitely about time the Pantofola's had their own thread. I've always been interested but I'm a Nomis/Mizuno convert for the time being. Nevertheless, would love to hear some more about these boots!
they're pretty much sold out of all the sizes, but good looking out theres a US website?? i honestly thought PDS was the only place you could get them!
I came across the site when I saw the new line on PDS. I'm out and using my iPhone but I'll find the site again and post it when I get home.
www.showdownsports.com is based here in north america they have a decent selection but are not the cheapest. Iv worn the pantos in a turf version and the outdoor version, decent boots the quality is iffy as some pairs have lasted me and others have fallen apart quickly. There very comfy but on some of the models the insoles are rubbish. If your going to buy a pair I suggest the dreams, their the best quality and most comfortable. The sizing can be tricky as well. the boots fit kinda small, ie. im a 10.5 in copas and 11 to 11.5 in other boots and i find that in pantos the 11.5's are a bit to snug and 12's run a bit to long. Their a great choice if you want to be a little different but at the same time I would suggest that if you want to stay away from the norm of adidas and nike then maybe some asic testimonials or mizuno morelias, as their quality classic boots.
Is www.showdownsports.com legit? They seem to have a ton of sizes in everything, even boots that are about 5 years old... seems a bit sketchy to me at first glance.
yes they have two locations close to my house. the store is utter trash except for their selection of pantofolas
Haha thats funny. On their site they have Lotto Mirages, that boot came out like 6 years ago! They were class though, I had a pair and loved them. Sorry for being off topic, just had to comment on that.
Yea I think ima stick with pds. Showdown's way overpriced and they don't have the pair I'm looking for.
I'm very interested in these from a while ago. I was looking through several boots from this brand on PDS, but what are the differences between Dream and Extra Dream? And how does the sizing run on these?
And thats what i was wondering too? Extra dream = extra soft k-leather? i have no clue. I was gonna order a size 8 cos from one of the reviews i read it said you could order these a full size down so it could stretch and mold to your feet. From PDS is says they fit regular.. i have no clue lol i got those pics from their official website. They messed up i guess.
Thats funny. Kk. I have a feeling these will satisfy me in terms of comfort which is the most important factor for me when choosing a pair. Just hope to see some price reduction in the future.
I couldnt agree with you more on either point! We're gonna have to go out for a drink one of these days, dont worry I'll buy the first round. haha
So pds will be shipping out pantofolas oct 1. I still haven't decided what pair to get. I was really interested in a pair of lazzarinis because they're light. But I keep hearing the dream is a better boot? The thing is I'm not a fan of tongues. But I do love the look of em with the gold stars. The lazzarinis are a bit too plain. I wanted to get them embroidered but since I don't know the sizing on em I don't wanna risk not being able to return them if they don't fit. Grr
Extra Dream has the short tongues, not foldover type. It also looks like its leather is better than other boots from this brand. Why dont you try that?
man its a tough decision i think the white heel kills it though. EDIT: never mind, they don't have my size. I think it was meant to be with the lazzarinis
New colours of the Pantofola Lazzarini boots: http://www.soccerbible.com/news/foo...nguro-football-boots-rosso-brown-edition.aspx Must say that the red ones looks really nice!
