    Recently bought a pair of adizero f50 for 300 dollars, it was very unnecessarily because my "ortopedic implants"(?) was too high for them. Now the store probably wont take it back and i believe i'll have a hard time selling them. Now i have to buy a new pair of shoes.


    Great deal for a poor student! :)

    You would of been better to get them from overseas to shipped in.

    I generally go to stores to tried on the size and boots and get it shipped in overseas.

    if i wear a size 9 in most cleats. how will a size 9.5 pred X fit? im trading my vapor III's (which are size 9, but are SUPER tight fitting, and the stud is kinda separating), for my friends size 9.5 pred X because i play holding mid, and the vapors aren't realy suited for the harsher tackles that i make. do you think i would still be able to play with a 9.5 though? I have to wear 1 sock with the vapor III's, but if i double sock with the 9.5 pred x, it should be okay right?

    By colourways that dont exist i mean that are not legit, official colourways that were released by the manufacturer.
    for example world cups - dont come in a white/black only black/white
    You can usually tell fake pics by the way they are laced. They will not be laced properly & will be in every 2nd hole for example.
    If you ordered them, you would get a boot that looked like the pic but it would be fake.
    I would stay well away

    Laser I are hard to find now of days. The only place that has them is pretty much Ebay. If you are looking for a new pair, they are at a decent price. However, some used pairs pop up now and again for cheap but you have to be patient.

    Those adipure are an legit colourway, but the picture of those boots looks fake. they don't look like leather should, they look plastic.

    And don't be fooled by a shop to just post photos with the PDS logo. It's not that hard to photoshop the logo into it.

    Hey Guys,

    There is a rip near the external heel counter on the right boot of my UA Dominate Pro. Basically, if you look at the picture, the material ripped along the stitching.

    My questions:

    Does Under Armour do returns?
    If so, what is their policy?
    How do I contact them if I am from Canada?
    Is the rip considered a manufacturer defect?

    Any reply will be much appreciated!

    so ive been wearing my legend iv on turf lately and everything is going smooth. But last night at my training session i decided to practice with my Manias. After and during practice i started to feel some pain on my knees. Now ive been reading that using circular studs are better on turf then the bladed studs. I was wondering if there any truth to that or if anyone has had the same issues. Overall question is have any of you had issues on turf while switching from circular studs to bladed studs?
    Thanks any help would be appreciated
    ( ive posted a similar thread in the Mizuno thread, im posting here just to get an idea of other users and their boots)

    Conical studs are alot more easier on the body on turf. Also find them to provide alot more comfort too, never had any issues with blades though, though they can dig into the turf which would give you pain if you are getting to much grip

    Well thats the exact same thing i felt. I felt that i was getting to much traction and my cleats were getting stuck to turf to much. The pain was weird because this isnt the first time i did it. And when i go back to my circular/conical studs im fine and have no issues. DAVID89 thanks for the info!

    Looks like adidas, Puma and Pele Sports have established sub 6.0 ounces as the target for lightweight boots. Can anyone really go much lower without completely compromising protection? It seems like adidas and Puma have backed away from fighting for the lightest production boot. It seems like they agree that the 5.2 ounce adizero Prime the limit? I know it's supposed to be lighter than the 7's, but will Nike strip down the Mercurial Vapor 8 to get in this weight range?

    I've never really payed much attention to boots aside from the price. I've had the same Nike Premier IIs for years now; they're ripped and beat to death but I just haven't gotten around to buying new ones.

    I play at a very high level now so I'm looking for quality cleats (kangaroo leather probably, though I've never tried any). Any recommendations? Price range is $100 or so (maybe a bit more), I was recommended the Adidas Copa Mundial since they're hard to go wrong with but are any more modern boots superior in terms of accuracy? Thanks!
