It's the battle of the brands, who makes the best?

Choices for the best flagship shoes:
Diadora Brasil, Adidas Copa Mundial, Nike Tiempo Premier, Fila Reyna Vista, Lotto Stadio Italia, Puma King, Umbro Speciali, Kappa Magna, or Kelme Trueno

Choices for the most advanced shoe:
Diadora Unica, Adidas Predator Mania, Nike Air Zoom Total 90 II, Nike Mercurial Vapor, Lotto Vento, Puma Shudoh, Umbro XAI II, Kelme Majestad, or Reebok Rampante

You might want to post your top 2 choices because I'm expecting most people to pick the Adidas Predators and Copas

My choices would have to be the Brasil and the Shudoh.
The Brasil is wide in the toe area so it matches my feet (I've never tried the Copas, so I can't say that) and even though I've never tried on the Shudohs, the fancy features (powerframe, outsole, the tuning chasis, blah blah) really sell me even though the upper is a fabric (but that's ok if the textile is still good)

oops, and my other 2 choices are the Lotto Stadios and the Ventos, they're green =)

I have used copas....and i did not like them that much...but the Speciali are a great comfy boot. I wear predators right now....and they hit the spot

My choices would be the Tiempo Premier and the Mercurial Vapor. The Vapors are great, they are so light and they fit very nicely.

BTW, Puma replaced the Shudoh with the Shudoh II. It looks like they changed the upper material and the color.

I would say the diadora brasil for flagship and the Air zoom total 90 ll for advanced boots. I am buying the XAI ll and the Speciali tomorrow and depending on which ones i like i am keeping one pair and ordering the replacables from pro direct since i cant find the studs of either boot here in the states. It always seems that i end up liking flagship boots the best though because they dont have all this extra crap with them and they dont get changed around everytime a company needs to put a shoe on the foot the new world player of the year they just stick to what works and works well. i will say that i have been dissapointed with every pair of pretators i have ever owned including the manias and have not really been a fan of the copa either except the made in germany version( although the World cup and copa indoor are personal favs of mine). the lottos stadios are very good boots as well as the puma king but its all in what fits well and you feel the best in

The Shudoh II is made of the same mesh-like material of the Icana's...the reason being is that Shudoh 1's had their upper discolor.
