By popular demand, a thread dedicated to all indoor and astro releases. Also questions about what regular boots/cleats would be good to use on astro (maybe not indoors lol). If it is as popular as I am told it will be, it will be stickied. So..here you go!
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread Which size would you get in the Copa turf boots if your normal size was 10.5US? I have 10s in outdoor Copas and they're a bit large. I tried on 9 and the length was perfect but I'm afraid they won't stretch enough for my wide feet. I'm afraid I'll blow the side out like every other pair of shoes. ..they didn't have a 9.5 to try.. :/
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread I would go down a half size. I normally wear a 9.5 in copas, and a 9 in the Mundial turf fits well. Another option is the Kelme Trueno Classic turf. It has a wider last, and fits more true to size. Cheers.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread Good thread idea, skizz. How well do astroturf boots work for hardwood floors?
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread I've a pair of sambas on their way I copped off ebay for $20 (including ship woot).. but I actually have a pair of indoor bracaras that are comfortable (I just wore them for the first time in a while today), and I like them.. and at least on gym floors, they seem to have good traction... or mine are just godly.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread Sambas are amazing I had a old pair that were amazing scored my first indoor goal long time ago in those Don't like indoor for the pace is to slow and its really tight I like to use my pace.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread Ok I have the Copa in a super snug 9.5 the Mundial turf in super snug 9.5 and the Copa Indoor in a 9. Heel to toe they are all pretty much the same length(as close as possible really, I am anal about that) even though the sizes are different on the label. All the boots stretch but I find the Indoor flats to be the widest out of the box and the turf and cleat tend to both fit really similar and more narrow but they will shape after a wearing to two. As for the Indoors breaking in, mine were perfect after about 20 mins of training. IMO the Copa's are the best indoor shoe on the market and really can't be beat, they last forever, the touch is very nice and you get a nice clean strike in them. The only downside is they are very flat and can cause cramps in your arch if your not used to wearing them.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread I have a pair of samba milleniums that I like. They're a hair wide and kinda heavy but confortable for the most part. I like their sole pattern much better for playing on the field turf at my facility. I have some v3.06 TT's on the way (orginally ordered the wrong size so had to send them back) that I think will be great too.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread Sambas...accept no substitute . Seriously a great all-around indoor shoe, but best on a clean gym (hardwood) floor. If the floor's dusty, they can lose grip.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread does anyone have mercurial 365's or know where to get them? I reeeeallly want a pair of those
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread Most of the people I know who have them just use them for leisure wear. :-/
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread I heard they werent that good as a match boot, I more wanted them to serve as a more comfortable and good loocking kick around boot that I could wear everyday. I heard they were kind of comfortable, contrary to regular vapors
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread I actually have a pair of the 365 mercurials but the vapor II version i bought them off soccershopusa.com i believe and i use them for leisure mainly but once in awhile i use them as indoors because of their great fit hope that helps Joga3
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread The mundial teams are great for hardwood floors imo. I get more grip versus using a flat shoe.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread What is a decent pair of turf shoes to start out with? I like the Nike Talaria 365's, but what else is there for a decent starter shoe? I like the look of the Absolado's as well....Some advice? I'm hopefully going to make a trip to a local sport's shop later this week, to try some indoor shoes on.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread Adidas Mundial Team Turf, is a fantastic shoe. It's an old school shoe but once I played in them I think they are the best shoes I have.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread Can anyone recommend a indoor or turf shoes that can support my feet? I have some sort of a high arch on my feet so flat shoes is out of the question. I would prefer k leather.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread They work. You don't really slip and slide, but depending on the sole it just feels weird, sometimes. Nothing that'd kill you really. A lot of people use them oever here,so I guess its alright.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread I cannot quote this enough. The Copa Mundial set of shoes are probably the best set for everything. I have some Copa Indoor's and man they are the BEST indoor shoe I have ever used. The rubber is so grippy and you'll find yourself slipping in any surface. Hands down the best indoor shoe that Adidas makes and possibly the best out there in my opinion.
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread I use Tiempo Natural IC and they are brilliant. My coach demands A LOT of technical skills and we do a lot of technical drills (he's from Brazil), and these shoes make it much easier. Last year I wore crappy F20's.. WORST INDOOR BOOT EVER!
Re: Indoor/Astroturf Boot Thread I have looked at the Copa Mundial boots - how do they compare to the Diadora Maximus or Maracana?
