    I usually prefer my boots quite tight fitting anyway so I might go for a full size down. If they are too too tight at least they will stretch, whereas if they are too big I cant make them any smaller if u get me. Thanks!

    Do you guys happen to know what is the centimeter equivalent of the panto sizing?

    Beautiful choice in colourway Adam, I have the black with a white tongue and they are unreal. I am normally a size 10.0US across the board and I ordered a 9.5US In my lazz and they are stretching nicely, but IMO you can get away with a full size down. I think the lack of stitching allows them to stretch to the max, and I think the panta's may fit slightly longer than normal. Btw my 9.5US is a 42.5 euro, not sure if the cm though as I think they fit slightly longer than usual

    I asked earlier, but didn't receive a response. Does this 'stretch' apply to their astros too? Or should one just order their normal size?

    I can't say for sure boliv, but I'd imagine they will stretch the same, at least a half size. If they are the same uppers just on a different sole plate I'd say they will stretch

    Out of all the modern designs and ideas they decide to do one of the ugliest out there... Camo.

    They just lost some points.

    How's the Ascolis compared to the Lazzarinis? Are they a good option if you can get them for 30% less than the Lazzarinis?

    I got a size 9 but my feet moved around a little bit but was still comfortable . would prob go a half size smaller if you like a tight fit. I was a size 9 in nike boots

    well, as written many times before the lazzarinis fit quite well if you go half size down compared to your normal size.
    for example i have the pantos dream extra in 43 and they fit tight, the ones in 44 were to big. normally i have worn umbro specialis in 44,5. think it´s quite the same for the lazzarinis, because they are made of one single layer leather as the dream extra...

    from soccerbible about the new lazzarini camo look:
    "Unlike the traditional Pantofola d'Oro Lazzarini made from calf leather, beneath the camo exterior is a premium synthetic leather."
    shame on them. it´s really disappointing that such a great shoe manufacturer leaves his own way of style and aims competing with the rest of the plastic nike/warrior/... shit.
    sorry for my rude words, but this really feds me up!

    Got my first pair of Pantofolas in December (late update, LOL) - Ascoli turfs (picture in Indoor tread). Very satisfied with the (got them for a great price off PDS too). Leather (calf skin I think) is very nice and softened up a lot from wearing them around the house (haven't worn them in game or training yet). Only two minor complaints are that the tongue is flimsy (not actually made fully from leather, seems like a running shoe tongue…) and laces are too long (have to wrap them around the bottom).
    Also of note: Since there weren't really any reviews of them online, I didn't know the sizing so I e-mailed PDS. The lady who replied said they were true to size (so I got them true to size), but after breaking them in slightly, I think most people can easily go ½ size down for a more snug fit (though for me, that might not work since I have wide and flat feet)

    Can't decide whether to get a pair of Lazzarinis or Akuna Colibri. I want a black FG pair and prodirectsoccer doesn't have my size in stock for the Lazzarinis. Akuna Colibri is made on order, would be pretty cool to own a pair made just for me, although they cost a bit more.

    Akuna Colibri. The Lazzarinis were not as good as the used to be when I got my last pair. In fact they were awful. I bought the K leather and they were stiff as hell. They felt mass produced......

    Akuna only ships to places in Europe. If you are in Canada go to this place: http://store.passionsoccer.ca/collections/akuna-boots-chaussures-akuna

    Anywhere else in the world go to this eba shop. They often have sales like right now the Colibri is 100 Euro (down from 125 Euro). : http://stores.ebay.com/Fair-Play-St...90825015&_sid=196472985&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

    Thank you for both the answer and the link. Do you think that half a size down would be good? Now I have to decide if I want them all black from Akuna or black/red from ebay a bit cheaper :p. 155 vs 130€

    If you can try on the adidas copa and whatever the Euro size is for you get the same size in the Akuna. Josh from soccerreviews said stick woth your size but they stretch a lot so go at least half size down.
