    Yeah, but it's only a story if they tell it as you said. Per the "heel support" crowd, I won't even touch it...you know how I feel about that stuff, lol.

    I am not shocked...I just hope it is an optional add in to an insole, not a forced outsole feature that can't be changed.

    the x-fly has been my fav boot. i prefer to morelia. extremely comfortable. the boots outsole does lose stiffness which is not a bad thing. the most comfy boot for me is x-fly best outsole is adidas x-top shame i cant fit in them anymore.

    on sizing of x-fly they half a size bigger than morelia. im a 28cm in morelia and a 27.5cm in x-fly

    its the stitching in toebox. that will change the way the boot molds to feet. im still using my x-fly 1's

    Just ordered my first pair of serious shoes. Asics Gel-Lethal Tigreor. They arrived yesterday.I'm stumped on whether to return them or not. I read the review on Runners choice net.

    Has anyone had any experience with either of these models?! I remember them from years ago but never tried them, i have always wanted to though.

    I just really need to know how they fit! 160691.jpg 160688.jpg

    Asics is one brand I've never tried , and I don't really know anything about their football boots at all. In terms of trainers/sneakers I love them though - they tend to be much better made than anything I've had from other brands recently.

    Have they released any top end turf shoes over the last few years? I've mentioned it on here before, but I play on old style astroturf once a week and I'm in a never ending search to find something nice to play in on that surface (preferably leather).

    they've got several, but recently moved their top end turf boots (the Destaque 6/7) into synthetic uppers, they're still pretty good, just not leather.

    If leather is a big thing go for the DS light turf models. Those don't have the gel ones that the DEstaque has but i guess there has to be some sort of tradeoff aha

    Cool thanks. How does sizing work out? I'm usually US9 / JP27 in most boots (Morelia II, Umbro Speciali etc).

    Asics street trainers/sneakers always seem to come up slightly small (maybe only 0.25 size) but I still wear my normal size and they usually work out ok.

    ps - are these the ones? http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/sportskym/item/soc_tra_1609/

    I've searched the forum and I see most people were saying go half a size down with the first DS Light model, is that true for these too?

    and one more question.... do they have the raised heal thing? (I hope not!)

    thanks!

    yeap those are the ones.

    In all honesty I have no idea, since Asics sizing is all over. but i would say, to go down half a size to be safe. the Destaques fit true to size though (i think. sigh). destaques are here - http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/flight-sports/item/tst219-0490/

    nope, both do not have the raised heel.

    @Pangu did you end up getting those testimonial lights? I´d like to hear what you think of them in case you did!

    The original Asics DS XFly K are super comfy! K Leather and great construction. Light weight but still feel solid when striking the ball. I was only able to wear mine a few times knocking the ball around but I thoroughly enjoyed them.

    Also, I ordered size 8.5 and 9US when I picked them up a couple years ago and ended up keeping the 8.5US which is a half size smaller than I usually wear. I found the last runs slightly longer than normal.

    They were fantastic boots. Severely underrated.

    There's a new Lethal Testimonial out too. Reminds me of the older DS Lights

    Do you have a link to them? I can't find them anywhere. Are they available yet? I had some X-Fly2 KL's and loved them. Great boots but not sure why they don't make the Asics flashes on the insides at least out of something soft & grippy instead of something slippery......
