General boot questions/review thread [3] - all boot questions here!

Looks fake, carbon fiber doesn't look real.

 

got fg and sg. both 11us.
so i suppose they will stay in their boxes a little longer

 

Thats really good mate, just make sure you dont wear the SG as they only made 500 pairs so even though SG arent usually as popular in this case they are! If you're interested in selling either let me know

 

Can anyone recommend a medium/wide shoe with a lower heel part? I have a pair of laser IIs that keep jabbing into my achilles.

Thanks

 

i dont own adipure ii but they looks pretty good for what your looking for

 

Definitely not the Adipure II, they have a low heel but the are by no means wide or even medium width.

 

Yeah the adipure-sorta heel is more what I want, but like CJ-Boy said, too narrow. Im thinking about laser 3s, I tried on my friends and they seemed comfortable. The heel on them was similar height but less rigid. That might be an alternative to a low heel. I'm not sure if the heels come like that tho because he stands with his feet half in his shoes on them sometimes.

 

a stud on my citron sl's has loosen. i bought them from prodirectsoccer two months ago, and have only used them five-six times. what should i do? contact prodirect or nike? i live in sweden btw..

 

contact both and see who gives you a better deal

 

So my brother had the platinum SF's (broke, got the Orions) and now has the Yellow/Black ones. He claims that they Orion ones are made of a different material due to them feeling a lot different. Anyone with both have any comments on this? I understand they are the same material, but I do think that my Abyss V's are a lot softer than all of my teammates V's (most of them have the black/volts).

 

i have noticed that aswell.


the orion vapors seem to be alot more stiff to me.

 

i called nike.com but they just said that i had to contact the website i bought the boots from.. how do i contact prodirectsoccer?

When it comes to size, how do the vapor iv's and lotto zhero gravity compare?

 

a few months ago, i bought some black/white (full grain leather) adinova II's for a massive bargain, 35 asutralian dollars! (thats like ebay price) from rebel sport (local sport shop). i love em so far, but what do you guys think about adinovas's, have you guys ever had any probs with them? (they were so cheap because they were being cleared for adi III's)

Also..... at ever sport shop i go to, i see adi III's (im 100% sure they are, i know my boots) and they are marked on the shelf as adi II's. u guys ever get this???

 

whoever has laser iis please could they do a short review on comfort, fit (runs big or small) and irritations ie. blisters thanks

 

lotto zhero gravitys fit about a half size bigger then vapor ivs.

 

Boot: Nike total 90 Laser ii K Fg

Im a Coach that plays indoor once in a while so im not constantly doing hard turns and breaking my boots in, hers a little review anyways.

My laser ii are near the top of my most comfortable boots overall. The back of the heal is very soft to a point that I never had any discomfort there. If im just coaching or playing around can wear these boots for hours on end with no discomfort. The problem I have is when I do get serious and play games or practice with my teams I get really bad blisters on the bottom of my feet. This could be because I dont have the calluses on my feet I used to have. Blisters are formed from friction so if your feet have little movement you will not get any blisters. In my opinion the reason I get blisters in these boots is because I am unable to tighten the boot near my toes due to the lacing on the sides. I wear a size US8.5 in laser ii which is my size in Predator PS, CTR360, Adidas F50.

Overall i do really love the boot and would recommend it to anyone but i wear 2 socks when i wear mine to reduce the blisters on my feet. im sure if you play ball all the time you wont have any blisters at all.

Rating(XXXXx) 4 big X and 1 little x which mean ehh thats a nice boot

 

I really liked my laser II's, but i had a similar problem. I had the same problem with my laser i's. I think it is the material that nike uses in the insoles. I recently got a pair of predator powerswerves (just finished playing in them actually, no blisters) and the insole is so much better. It is a smooth material with a cloth like feel, while the insoles on the laser i's and ii's are this leather like stuff that causes a lot of friction which leads to blisters. That is my theory, at least.

I put some electrical tape on the insoles(in my lasers) were my toes rubbed and had no problems. Its kinda a hassle to keep taping your boots though (the tape would last a game or two).

 

Guys, i've an enquiry about umbro specialis sizing. I'm wearing UK 11 for SX Valor 1, should I wear a UK12 for specialis or UK11? Thanks (

 

Can anyone give me a review of the Nike Tiempo Classic FG Lites?

I would assume it would fit similar to the Nike Legend III's...but materials differ. As the legends use k-leather and the Tiempo Classic FG Lites use 'ronnie' leather (calf leather)

Would calf leather stretch like k-leather? or would the try on size be the accurate fit?

I wear 7.5 in Nike/Adidas what would you suggest I go with for this boot.

Thanks

 

I have a pair of lites. They arent as soft as the legends, but they are pretty nice once worn in. I got the same as the legends II that i had, and they fit awesome. I like the fact that they have shorter studs, which was better on turf for me than the legends. overall i like the boot alot and its probably on par with legends in my book, just wish it was a tad better leather.

 

Great Thanks!

But do they stretch?

 

not really. although 8.5 out of the box was like a perfect fit for me with these and legends. neither did stretch for me.

 

i got super ligera's which are around the same price as classic lite's now. very similiar style. i highly reccomend them, kangaroo leather buttery soft almost as soft as my copas, nice short round studs which i like at least. seems to be easier on my feet even on soft grass. has a coated toe cap to help abrasion (big bonus if you play on turf, i just play on bad fields) they stretched a bit too giving you a nice snug fit. when i first got them they felt a half size small and after a week or so they were perfectly "molded" hope that helps your decision too. shop around online, amazon might have some good deals (where i got mine)

i think the newer colors are made in bosnia not italy? that may attribute to it? i'm debating between the platinum and orion V's atm the moment. can anyone else who's tried both colors comment on the stiffness/softness?

on that note can anyone help me compare the mizuno ghost strikers vapor v and puma v1.08k? i will probably get the vapors since they're the only ones i can try on in person, but everyone seems to rave about mizunos and v1.08k as being so much better and they're favorite boots recently. but i'm weary not being able to try them on. specifically in width. super ligeras and vapor v fit pretty well and are considered to be wideish? how do the others compare? also does the toe cap on the pumas bother you? i like my boots glove like not much room for my toes. thanks in advance hahaha and which do you prefer the platinum or orion blue?
