Back when I wore Copa Mundials, I was a terrible defender, but now that I switched to Predators, my defending has improved amazingly and I am awesome now.

It's all because of my shoes.

lol GoHawks ;) you'd be surprised how much advertising makes people actually think that. As for boots for defending, whatever the best boots for attackers are, they are also the best boots for defenders. You require boots to run in and kick in, so do they, there is absolutely no difference in requirements. Contrary to the obvious for most people vapors are as useful for backs as forwards, extra speed, why would forwards require that more than backs? But vapours they are ********e anyway so don't buy them. Buy either Speciali's, Kings or Copa's. Whichever fit best although they will all fit very well. They are the three top boots on the market.

I like the nike tiempo premiere's more than the kings. Its just a personal preferance obviously.

What would be best for a miffielder???First, I'd have to figure out what a miffielder is.

First, I'd have to figure out what a miffielder is.
I think a miffielder is just a quickly typed excuse for a word, or a new position that I haven't heard of yet. :)

OMG people calm down i should have known only a smart person could recognise that i meant MIDFIELDER can u see how close D is to F on your keyboard??? Any it was probably an excuse for you to write something and feel smart for the first time btw y did it take two people to point out the mistake?

[BurnSC89]

i wish i could make up for it, but i cant help you about the footwear. i was actually just coming here for some ideas, if anyone else would like to volunteer a suggestion, it would be much appreciated.

I asked my friend who is a midfielder and he said now that he wears Vapors he can score freekicks from 65 yards.

All because of his shoes.

[BurnSC89]

Wow.

[C. Ronaldo7]

Why can't Thierry Henry do that? He wears vapors.

Ok, I am gonna explain it again. The best boots for a keeper, defender, forward, midfielder are all the same!

You see defenders, keepers, all players do the same with their boots. They run in them and they kick a ball with them. Those are the only two things boots do so therefore any technologies only have to apply to their ability for those two purposes. If these are the same for every player then each player would benefit equally from the same boot.

I will give you an example, Vapors are marketed towards Forwards and wingers mostly. Why? They tend to be faster players and Vapors help you with your speed due to their lightness, this tends to be one of their sole selling points. Can you seriously tell me a forward benefits more from extra speed than a defender or even a keeper rushing off his line? Its all marketing, forwards tend to be flash and cocky and their personality is more of the show-off nature, these boots reflect that, a defender wouldn't be seen dead in them. Flash boots for the flash player. It doesn't mean any of the useful things about the boots performances wouldn't benefit the defender equally. Defenders wear better boots than forwards. Gimmickry and flashness don't get in the way. They want a no nonsense boot that has all the features you want from a boot, performance wise.
