What astro turf shoes do you currently use, or have used in the past?

At the moment, I'm using the cheap Adidas pulsado TFs but need new ones. They are ok, but do not shape well to my feet and don't really tighten too well. Decent enough cushioning, but they hurt my toes and heel after a long game.

Anyone else have an opinion?

I just picked up some Nike Total 90 IIs off Ebay a few weeks ago. They're only cheap but they fit my feet perfectly (I have wide feet) and I only use them for training every now and again.

First i got the silver vapors in astro's late last year which lasted very long.Then i bought the blue vapors in trainers in Feb then the siver/Mahogany total 90 III's that wern't as good as the vapors because the stuff around the heel started peeling off so did the total 90 logo.The next i will get is either the F30+ or the henry navy vapors on tuesday.

I hate astro boots they never seem to have enough cushion in them for me. But i did get some total 90 IIs with the air bubble in and they were pretty comfy. The sole didnt last very long on them though it was a bit too thin.

I'm not a fan of astro turf boots either. I prefer proper boots - especially for kicking but I train on an astroturf at Uni which is so slippery it's impossible to wear anything else so I grudgingly bought some. On a normal sand based astro I will generally wear my Specialis.
