awesome, im gonna get the white ones then. thanks a bunch

 

yep no problem! im thinking about getting the green ones when they go on sale... i hope they go on sale!

 

i think the green ones are already up for preorder?
i really want the silver/red upper

 

hey
i asked about the soft ground studs on laser iis a few weeks ago
and yeah apparently they have been known to snap or rip off the whole thread.
so today, i got some nylon ones that were wider all ound than the nike ones(bout twice in diameter)
anyone reckon itll be more sturdier,and stud pressure wont be as much as the original thinner studs?

 

Paid a visit to my local soccer shop as I am looking for a new pair of boots. Had an interesting conversation with the shop owner and wanted to get some other opinions on the subject. He is generally an outspoken guy in addition to owning a shop, so i take what he says with a grain of salt.

He basically said kangaroo leather was junk. he said if you are using a k leather boot for several games, it is as good as any leather, but if you are not getting new boots every week, then a thin calf leather boot is better. He also was talking about how no one wears boots that actually fit them. He didn't articulate it, but I am assuming this was related to how people (myself being one of them) buy k leather boots a half size or more too small and stretch them out.

As someone who has had an ankle injury due to overstretching, I wonder if maybe he is on to something. At the same time, I wonder if he was just trying to sell me a pair of boots. I was looking at the Maestri's (very nice btw) and they had no adipure II's or Legends in my size.

There is one major flaw with his theory, finding a thin, soft calf leather boot.

Any thoughts?

 

The new predators are calf leather and so are the adinov's I believe and the ituntes are as well,

 

Does Anyone knows why Messi prefers to use F30 rather than f50? is there something wrong with f50?

im not buying if anyone says it was to expensive for him, lol

 

I hate this question.....it's f50's with molded studs he prefers em, then done! no on ask this question every again along with ronaldo's socks issue lol. but hope I helped

 

Can anyone compare ULT-K leather to Full Grain leather? I'm not sure if $20 is worth the difference from adinova indoors and adicores. and I want to get used to the low heel for when I get my adipure IIIs.

 

Unless their superflies cause they'll make you like C. Ronaldo right?

 

I guess I should ask here.......I wanna put the Nike RED laces on my Vapor III's, what length size should I order?

 

get the long laces...i think 120?

 

or take the laces out of your mv3 and measure them....

 

i would go with 105. the 120's have at least 5 extra inches on my vapor ivs

 

idk man, on the nike website it says 120 for mercurials, 105 for tiempos

 

IV and V lacing is 100% different than III's though. III's are much more like tiempo length laces.

 

that must be for superflys or vapor v because 120 have way to much extra lacing on my iv's

 

Hey guys I need a new pair of boots and look for your aid regarding experience.

I play/practice in the worst "field" ever it's just very hard sand with some minimal patches of weed every 20 feet. Seeing as my Powerswerves are nearing death and the idea of using my MV III would be suicidal what comfy would you recommend? I've thought of Super Ligeras, Powerswerves(sexually comfortable), Adipure(I), or Legends but can't seem to find my size at a price I like.

 

cj boy, here in italy its very common for teams to have three pitches, one grass one synthetic and one, like your, of either sand or gravel, on those pitches i like to either use a multi stud or a shoe like the copa, or as you mentioned the ligera becasue the studs are shorter and thus make it a lot more comfortable.

 

Hey, you need to get a small multistud, similar to what they wear in Spain on hard ground. It spreads the weight over your feet preventing blisters. I had some Joma boots that did this.
You want some studs like on these boots:

For comfort i'd recommend the adipure, copa, valsport, joma, diadora brasil

 

Okay,
So I originally bought my NikeRED laces for my Vapor 5's (Which I havent bought yet) but I have now changed my mind. After alot of ebaying I came upon the very classy E8 Tiempo. This was still okay though because they would still look good. Except AGAIN, I have changed my mind. I originally saw a few tiempos I liked and then decided there were some I didnt like and so on and so on. I have now got a "shortlist" of two.
Both are tiempos and I really like both. The only thing I choosing between now is what boot would look better with the NikeRED laces.
There's this one

OR

Like I said, now all I'm deciding between is what boot would look better with NikeRED laces so please give me your opinion.
Cheers.
