General boots question/review thread [6] - all questions/reviews pictures on any boot brand here pls

Hey buddy,

Have a look at this review: http://best10best.com/best-indoor-soccer-shoes/

I think it's exactly what you're looking for!

P.s.: I agree that indoor can be less exhausting depending on what position you play compared to outdoors

 

Anyone know how the sizing is on the Joma Top Flex Leather TF ?
Cheers!

 

not entirely sure how to describe to tbh. They are slightly larger than true to size, yet not large enough to go half a size down. I got mine true to size, and wore thicker socks.

 

On the indoor I go half size down.

 

Didn't use this model... but in all previous Joma models that I've used I went a full size down...

This is offtopic so apologies - but if anyone is on a desktop/laptop and doesn't like the site upgrade, you can turn off the right hand column of trending articles etc which makes it look a bit better:

haha - its definitely not as easy on the eye as the old design was.

As someone pointed out in their original site upgrade thread (https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/site-upgrade-sunday-3-19-8am-est.2039590/) it looks like its been done with mobile devices in mind rather than the desktop, and I haven't even got a smart phone yet so thats of no use to me I'm still on an old Nokia

it's christmas in march at the stphnsn house. i'm only keeping 1 pair for the year, but i thought i'd try a few i'd been eyeing for a while. from the "in hand" feel, the mizunos are in the lead. i'll try them all on tonight. i wonder if i'll like any of them better than my morelia 2s.

 

here's how these 4 fit for me, fwiw. my 2015 US10 mij mizuno morelia 2s fit me perfectly for reference.
copa in US9.5 - too big. i should have gone down to a US9, and they would have fit better. i probably still would not have kept them though. unsurprisingly, they felt cheaper than the others. i've never had a pair of copas so i thought i'd give them a try.
tiempo in US9.5 - length was just right, but they were very tight width-wise. i was surprised that the tongue didn't run as far down the shoe as in other shoes. that made them super tight, but i'd imagine they would stretch out some with use. these didn't feel cheap, but they looked like they were sloppily made in some spots. not really a surprise from what i've read about nike.
diadora brazil OG in US9.5 - like the copa, they were too big, but i don't think another full half size would have worked. the tall heel rubbed my foot wrong. i liked these the best of the 4 though. you can't doubt the quality. i would have loved to have kept them if they'd fit my feet better.
mizuno morelia neo 2 in US 10 - these ran longer and had more room in the forefoot than i expected. perhaps going down a half size would have helped, but the heel on these didn't work for me either. i really wanted like these, but they didn't feel as good on my feet as my morelias i already have.

i think i'm just going to send them all back and go back to playing in the morelias i already have. i wore pantofola d'oros last year. between trying these 4 and slipping my old mizunos back on, i kinda wondered why i ever switched.

 

I don't know where to put this, but i'll try here: Are there any good places to buy boots in LA/Santa Monica? And do they sell AG boots? How are the prices compared to in Europe?

Storelli are up to some new super grippy insole. Personally not too sure cause slippage has never been a thing for me, especially after using the Mizuno zerogrip insoles. some interesting tech there though.

 

Yeah I saw that on soccerbible. "Tuning" your boots looks like it will be a thing for a little while.

 

Has anyone had experience of Cruyff boots? In particular, the Cruyff Match. Look pretty similar to Copas, but wondering what the leather, fit, weight etc. is like. I know they're made in Italy.

Cheers

 

No but I've just ordered a pair of the Cruyff Courts. When I've played in them for a few hours I'll let you know what I think.

 

I've heard that they are quite good but no personal experience.

 

Guys, I was looking for a product to clean and nourish my boots, adidas Kaiser 5 Liga and soon Umbro Speciali Eternal, they're both leather and white.

So I found these two products in this picture, are these the ones suitable for leather boots? Which one is better? I know Kiwi is a better known brand, but I wanted to know if anyone here tried them.
They're both neutral color.

 

I'm not familiar with either of those products but I don't think you really should be looking for polish. You want dubbin or leather food. I use dubbin for my leather boots.

Something like this: https://www.timpson.co.uk/shoe-care/leather-treatments/dubbin/cherry-blossom-dubbin.html

 

Thanks for the input, since I read the word nourish, I thought this is similar to the dubbin's function.
I'll look for it.

 

They might be fine to be honest, I don't know... the first one says "Bees wax" on the tin and dubbin is made from wax, although the wikipedia page for dubbin does make a point of saying it is different to polish

 

Hi, has anyone owned and played in munich mundial or munich mundial lux boots?
I saw some for sale and they look great.

Just have no idea on sizing or comfort/performance wise.
