Hey, I'm currently deciding whether to get the Pred. Pulse II o AZT 90 III , and i just need your opinion on each boot... I play forward, I use a lot of technique and speed, and obviously i need a good boot that can help with my finishing. Which one would be the best?

it really all depends on your feet. i know that my feet will fit both preds and azt 90 III's but i use the azt 90III. i like them better and i seem to get a better touch with them, but thats just my opinion. you should go try them both on and see which ones will fit your feet better

AZT 90 III if you want boots that will satisfy everything you listed.
Pred Pulse II if you want to be a pretty boy.
Nuff' said.
P.S. If yall haven't caught on, I'm a Nike convert ever since my predator pulse a3 and predator pulse 2 fg experiences.

get preds if you want comfort, touch, and no blisters. seriously i gave azt 90 3 a couple of runs, and they just give crazy blisters.

These are quite different in fit, AZT 90 III's are considerably wider in the forefoot than the Pulse, however the Pulse's do stretch slightly over time. I found the Pulse leather kind of stiff compared to other k-leather boots.
well the boots aren't going to make it or break it when it comes down to finishing, but if you have a shop where you can try these on then i'd go do that, then decide which one is more comfortable.

Don't be fooled by all the gimmicks on the predator pulses. I have 3 pairs, 4 if you include my a3s. I lied to myself for a good two or three years that the little things on the predator would make my game that much more phenomenal....it really doesnt. predator vamps? the dirt gets stuck in it and smoothens it out so the rubber isn't really rubber. elastic tongue to pull tongue down for wider striking surface? please. this is just something ppl do to look like beckham. split sole? two of my preds "split sole" is literally splitting from the shoe itself.
last year i bought the lower end total 90s to get a change. the simplicity of the boot is what makes it amazing. and its very comfy, the leather is soft (dunno what kind it is) but wont hurt if u get stepped on. its a strong boot. i just recently went and upgraded to the air zoom total 90s.
i know its hard to resist getting the pred pulse 2s, but it aint worth it.

If Im correct the total 90's are synthetic not a type of leather.

Isn't AZT aids medication?
At least that explains the blisters. :) just kidding.

I have kind of wide feet, so about how much time will the AZT 90's III give me blisters?

Firstly, you need to try on the boots, because the fits are very different.
I have both boots, and I can't stand wearing the AZT 90 iii...they are so broad and really hurt the arch of my foot. They feel so chunky and I really don't get a close touch on the ball.
On the other hand, after the Abs, the Pulses are my favourite boots ever. They mould perfectly to the shape of your foot, give you a close touch, and feel great, and look great.
I have never bought a boot thinking that it would make me play better, I don't believe in gimmicks, but I do beieve the Pred vamps do give some slight grip, but believe me, they aren't going to improve your play. I buy a boot if it is comfy, fits well, and gives me a good touch on the ball.
Obviously, every1's opinions are different, and that is mine, but I really recommend them!:)

I think you have it the other way around. The pulses hurt the hell out of my arches. the pulses are so thin, not even people with thin feet should wear them. the AZT III feel strong and sturdy and you can feel the strength of the boot.
Pred vamps offer nothing whatsoever. Like I said, after a few times playing with preds, the vamps either get cluttered with dirt or they smoothen out.
The touch with the AZT III is amazing. Just because they aren't as "thin" as preds, doesnt mean you dont get a close touch. the control with the azt 3 is amazing. you just feel the ball more with preds because they are thinner (where adidas decided to cheat you out of some more money and use as little leather as possible).
like i said, but preds if you want to be cute like many people who buy them and think they could make the ultimate crosses like beckham and forget all about defending because you're too busy trying to look pretty. buy azt 3's if you want to focus on playing well defensively and offensively.
if you're a good player, then the azt 3 will be a good boot for you -- it offers everything you need, without the extra b.s. the preds give. i urge you to resist the little predator liquid vamps and the little fold over tongue (which magically provides you with a superior striking surface somehow).

if you're a good player, you could play well in any boots. they just won't be as comfortable.

I struggle to understand?:confused: Why do you think that everyone who buys Preds want to be pretty and Beckham? What about the other tough players like Neville, Vieira, Ballack who wore them? I will like a boot, but by the time I am on the field, I forget about them unless they are uncomfy....if you can't concentrate because of 'pretty' boots, then you may need to look for another sport or take some medication. TBH, I am not going to quickly put on my T90's when I need to defend, and then put on my Pulses when I want to cross..

Thats sounds like a lack of concentration? Besides, i wasn't referring to you when I spoke about lack of concentration, I was saying 'you' as in hypothetically any1 who can't. Look, he asked for my advice, and I gave it. If our ideas conflict, than that is to be expected, as not every1 has the same opinion, just like not every1 tries to be pretty in Pulses. If that is your idea, than that is fine, but you seem to force the fact that any1 who wears pulses tries to be pretty, which is not true at all. I am busy discussing this topic, and you tell me to 'shut it'? Not once was I rude to you. Lets keep personal feuds aside, which I assume has been created, and for the sake of this topic and board, stay on topic.:)

Yeah I'm not entirely sure where that pretty boy comment came from.
Pulses are one of the last boots that I would consider a 'pretty boy' sort of thing to wear.
Back on topic... just try them both on and see which ones fit you better. Then compare whether you prefer studs or blades, leather or synthetics, etc.

I you're not sure where the pretty boy comment came from, then why are you agreeing that it is a pretty boy thing to wear? contradictions dude.
