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

Link me so I can verify it.

So far they look high end.

 

They need to stay dry!!! Keep your humidity level lower. I suggest using damprid to pull moisture out of the air where you dry your boots. Pull out the insoles and let them dry out fully. And keep checking on them for suspicious growth. Good luck.

 

Some sort of antibacterial cleaner might help keep the mould at bay, Dettol or something like that, not sure it'll be great for the boots though.

 

^They look amazing! Is that CF in the heel?

 

How are the latest Preds and Nike CTR for a more narrow footed player?

 

That is really cool how they have so many stud pattern options!

 

where is this place?

 

Would help if I could translate Someone PM JC.

 

Yo, Rooster - have you thought about putting them in the freezer? Maybe stick them in a ziplock or something and leave them in the freezer overnight - that should kill any bacteria.

Just make sure they're absolutely bone dry before you do it, otherwise the moisture being trapped and frozen could do funny things to the leather.

I can't imagine this would cause problems with the glue in the soleplate as long as you thaw them out naturally (don't stick them on the radiator or the rapid change in temperature could cause the glue to lose it's bonding properties).

Congrats on your nuptials and I hope you can fix your Tiempos!

 

I've found it's great for getting rid of the smell of stuff that's started to go a bit funky. e.g. I'm terrible for leaving my shaker in my gym bag over a weekend and it smells of baby puke. But a night in the freezer after a good wash and it's spot-on, presumably because it stops the microbes reproducing, or at least slowing down their growth.

Was hoping it might be the same for the boots!

Thanks for the replys guys! I have found a product from dubbin that eliminates mould from leather, so if it persists I'll try that!

 

Can't speak on the preds but I have a few friends who only wear preds and they say they're just the same as the old ones. Then again when I asked what the Lz1s were like he said they felt the same as the adipower, he wasn't a big boot guy.

I have narrow feet and my ctrs fell to bits very quickly but they gave a really good fit. I got the premiers and went down half a size and they fit perfectly but you really need to try them on as some people say they're a bit small made.

 

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the reply.

 

Hi, my friend's boots. Later... he might join this forum.

 

Whats going on with these Maestri 3, they have the old soleplate?

 

Possibly the Japanese HG version

 

It is HG Japan. Very stable in dry pitches and they run shorter too.
