    Ozzy,

    yeah that sucks that those carbon fiber shinpads cost 100 more in England but I can't imagine payng 130 for shinpads, i think i pad 15 for the ones I wear now.

    I had the Totti's (RT...) they held up great, eventually they fell victim to the typical issues that boots have with new field turf and the pieces of rubber got wedged in between the upper and the sole plate, but all in all I was very happy with the boots

    My diadora brasils just blew out today. They blew out on the outside of my right foot.

    I was pissed. I had no other boots with me so i had to use them for another hour with my toes hanging out..

    i just picked up the diadora carbonio shine pads today, by far the best shin pad out there, very pricey but the result you get from the pad is incredable.

    Its simple why there is the big price difference. There not the same shinpad! The Totti one was specifically crafted for Tottis shin after his injury. The pair on soccer.com is the retail version of those. You could even call the Gamma Carbino a replica of the Totti shinpad.

    I am wearing the Maracana right now, but I plan to get an LX Pro in a few months. I have tried on the regular LX and it seemed similar to the Maracana. I wear the Maracana in 10.5, wear shoes in an 11, and sneakers in an 11.5. I like my soccer boots to be pretty tight. For me at least, the kangaroo leather breaks in nicely and they fit like a glove.

    yeah i went back and found this thread.
    Are the laces of maracana indoors just as long as the outdoor ones? the outdoor ones i've seen are way too long, and i don't know how i would tie the laces with all the extra. anyone want to enlighten me on lace length?

    i find either cutting them and then melting the ends with a lighter works very well or u can just get new laces

    I found the LX Pro to be massive. I wear a 10-10.5, but almost went down to a 9 for the LX Pro as they were HUGE!

    I wore them twice and they busted out the outside where the Blue Diadora symbol joins the boot, at the point where the little toe joins the foot. They were good up until then though, but I paid $200 Aus for them, and won't be going back.

    Just gonna put it out there.... bought a pair of the lx pros in black and gold when they first came out. within 4 uses they completly fell apart. it took me about 3 months to get something back from diadora, but they sent me a brand new pair. these seem to be better made but not my first pick. the k leather is very soft.

    Hope This helps.:cool:

    Properly tried out my maracanas today, and I have to say they are worth what I paid for them (45). Great touch, very comfy and the cleat design is nice.

    How does the k-leather on the maracanas compare to the leather on the adipures or legends or a higher end diadora (Brasil, LX K Pro)?

    I am considering buying my first diadora boots and am leaning towards the maracana. I have only heard good things about the maracanas, but have my concerns as not all k-leather is created equal. I am going to go and check a pair out in person, but wanted to get some feedback from people that have played in the maracanas.

    Thanks in advance.
