Astro turf and indoor boots thread - Everything turf and indoor related

Mizuno Sala Premium IN black/white/yellow/fantasy

 

No Joma Thread... so...

Joma Skin Regate

 

ohh. some guys on the chinese forums had it and were posting about it.

interesting looking shoe. there's fly wire, a gel pad on the heel, and they use a similar to Lunar gato soleplate.

if only it were leather though

 

They look just like the more recent FlyKnit Lunar Racers from Nike...did someone from Nike defect to Kappa and Joma recently?

 

probably Joma found the Vietnam factory Nike was making their flyknits from lol

 

They look far too close to the FlyKnit Lunar1's!

 

Need to get myself some new TF shoes, sadly my Bomba Finale II are starting to shoe their age with a bit of sole separation and a couple of holes in the upper. Since they're no longer available, and not many knocking around on eBay either, I've had to have a bit of a look around for something else and come up with this as a shortlist...

Anyone had any experience with any of the above?

The HV or Mercurials seem like they'll be the closest to my old Bombas whereas the Magista seem to be more of a Lunar Gato successor, intrigued by the adidas X but they're listed as 15.2 there despite being priced the same as the 15.1 on the adidas website. The Mizunos are a bit of a wildcard, can't find much about them anywhere but I've been impressed with other stuff I've had from them in the past.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

How similar of a fit does the copa indoor have in comparison with the regular copa mundial?

 

They don't stretch. I'd say get your normal size.

Hell, I if I remember right, I wore a US9.5 in them over my normal 9's in everything else!

But taht was 15 years ago...so....

 

Does anyone have any feedback on the new Adidas TKRZ turf shoes? I'm trying to decide between those or the Hypervenomx Proximos.

 

If looking for turf i'd recommend the hypervenom x finale. The upper is great.

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I tried a pair on this weekend, they felt pretty nice.

I like the fit/feel of the MercurialX proximo but I'm not crazy about any of the colorways. I'm not one for flashy boots. I can't seem to find anywhere local that has the TKRZ available to try on.

I think for me it's between the wolf gray mercurialx and the all black TKRZ.

 

Haven't seen much about it, even on the chinese forums.

Have touched it on the retail shops in my place. seems to be pretty stiff, not sure how the touch feels like though. Definitely grippy the same way the Predator LZ's were, but I'd venture forward and say the touch probably feels clunky.

might soften up after a few uses though. Still contemplating if its worth blowing money on aha

 

Yeah, due to lack of information on the TKRZ, I ended up ordering a pair of hypervenomx proximo's. I'm just worried that they might be too stiff as I've heard that was an issue with the fg version of the boot.

 

I like Mercurials, but they are cheaper in Amazon for example.

 

why didn't you just get the finale's have heard alot of good stuff about it.

 

Mostly because the colorways are terrible. I like blackout style boots and for whatever reason indoor and turf boots are 99% flashy.

 

I picked up a pair of these for the upcoming indoor season in the all red colorway. While the fit and feel is actually better than expected, I think the quality of these isn't all there. After one session there is already spots in the upper that are rubbing off. Maybe I did just get a bad pair though..

I'll post pictures later, but I am questioning if these will make it through a season.

 

Just these today! Looking forward to having a run out in them on Friday night. I've been wearing Joma Top Flexes and Regate's and those are really nice too, very soft, but I want to try something a little more solid. Impressed with the amount of K leather. Anybody else have these?

 

God...I only play on astro turf...but was thinking of getting these for the hell of it. Who cares if I slip lol

 

I´m looking for a pair of astro turf trainers. So far I have added MagistaX Finale, HypervenomX Finale, Joma Topflex tf and Pantofola Lazzarini tf on my shortlist. Any other recommendations or opinions on the aforementioned shoes?

 

I had the Jomas but I didn't liked them. my foot couldn't lock in and was sliping in the shoe...

 

Thanks john_mizuno8! I´ll probably steer away from the Jomas then.

 

I've worn FG on turf for years & maybe I've just been lucky but I've never had any problems. But tomorrow I'm giving Nikes AG plate a whirl for the first time. Kinda excited!
