Anyone has experience with the umbro speciali fg?
Fitting?
Comfort?
Durability?
How was it compared to other classics, say, adidas Copa Mundial, diadora Brasils, mizuno Morelia, puma King Top?
Thanks.
Cheers!

I've had 2 or 3 pairs of them and they're excellent boots. Very similar to Copas but maybe a bit heavier.
They fit a bit wider than Copas. It was years ago that I wore them but I think a 9 would fit me perfectly (and that's what I wear in Adidas Pulses). They are very durable - my last pair lasted over 2 hard seasons. In fact they are still wearable but one of the tongues fell off (easily stitched back on) and the studs had worn down a lot. That just shows you how much I wore them though!
They're very good boots and they seem to be well made too. The leather is soft and they're a typical 'classic' boot in their styling. I have to say I preferred the look of the slightly older Specialis which had the black tongue. My last pair had the white tongue.
I definitely recommend them.

Hey guys,
Thanks a lot! I think I'll go for it.
IT's pitch visibility is also very attractive!
Cheers!
