i have a pair of black vappor k's and i love em' except the color has gotten a tinti of brown over time and i have no idea why. BUt other than that they are very comfortabble quality boot for me. ive never worn regular vapors though.

don't buy vapor k's, theyre alot less sturdy then either vapor 1s and vapor 2s, mine fell apart 2 months after i bought them, playing 2 times a week.

They are probably heavier than normal Vapors, aren't they?

Yes by 0.3 oz

Vapor Nikeskin - 7.1
Vapor K-Leather - 7.4

I'd prolly take the regular vapors because in rain they don't absorb any water cuz of the synthetic so they stay light, the vapor k's might absorb some of the water and become heavier

Wow, that's actually just a tiny bit. I expected them to be much heavier.

In dry conditions their the same just that some people say the Vapor K's are more comfortable than the nikeskin vapors, but if its wet out im sure you will notice that the nikeskin vapors dont feel any heavier at all, the vapor k's on the other hand will absorb water and become heavier.

i read that vapor k's actually weigh .6 oz heavier making them 7.7. i read this on soccercorner.com.

yeah i like the fact that the vapor synthetic doesn't hold water, and i like the fact that it's lighter, but i honestly don't like the colors of them. i like all my stuff to be black. shoes shorts socks, shirt, as much as possible. thats the whole reason i got interested in the vapor k's, but im just going to have to forget about looks and judge it simply on performance. i'll order them tomorrow morning. wish me luck. lol.

and i realize their are "black" (cinder) vapors out there, but the price of them are way too high, unless you guys have some links to some cheap black vapor 2's?

yeah i just ordered the gold vapor 2. i'm going out there on a limb wearing gold. i admit it's an annoying color, but oh well. the shoe is nice. that and maybe someone will figure out how to black out vapors someday. hopefully. yeah i can't wait until they get here. they're gunna be a bear to break in though. :( :)

i might later buy the vapor k too. :)

a kid on my team did. but i've also heard that vapor k's are the most comfortable vapors when it comes to the heel.

The first two times i wore my vapor K's they cut me up bad on my heels cudnt play for a week......but saying that once i broke them in they are amazing boots. The combination of an incredibly light boot, with that of the touch provided of the ultra soft K leather is emense!!!!

like someone else said though the leather as it is so soft does scuff and wear very easily. But i love them.
