Just want to know what boots people are using on the pitch. Name of Boots : Reason (optional) Your Opinion (optional) I'll start. Puma KSL FG : Practice, Match. Best boots I've purchased. First time a boot has fit me this well.
Adidas F50 FG (silver/black): Main boots Comfy, great traction, look cool and I like the feel of the touch you get Umbro Speciali FG: Astroturf/backup My boots from last year. Just the comfiest things ever. Flexible and soft.
Im wearing Nike mercurial Vapors (various colours) and i wear them because they are the best boots i have ever ever worn. I love the touch they give me on the ball, the support. Everything about them. They are fantastic boots NO BLISTERS! - lol appleCORR
this will be sorta long... puma cellerator shudoh fg- match boot #1 most comfortable i've ever had, good touch, and they look pretty fly. they are one of the best boots available. nike air zoom total 90 II fg- match boot #2 really comfortable, nice touch and they look cool. only thing is, they don't stretch at all so dont get them a half size too small like it did. nike air zoom total 90 II sg- for all wet conditions exact same as fg, except they're sg. what else can i say? oh yea, don't wear these on fg, yur body will hate you. adidas predator mania fg- practice boots a quality boot, not my favorite but i can't complain because i have feet too wide for them.
Predator manias Black/Red FG - Have great power, feel, touch and are comfortable, not light not heavy. I think they are good allround boots. World cups- Very light 240g each (vapors 198g, preds 300g- to get the scale) They are classics, they have been going 4 over 20 years so i thought i couldn't go wrong when i bought them- and i was right. I think the predators are better but i've had them longer so i would. Mizuno Morelia Wave - They are very light and have extra protection and look class but i have not recieves them yet as they are coming in the post. Talaria vapors - very light and great for control and touch however not good for tackling and powerful shots- pain - and they arent the most reliable.
Adidas f50 fg - my new ones, waiting for some nice weather and some peeps to help me break em in lotto duel2s- have to wait and see if they can stretch them to my width, i bought em tight(last pair!) cause they were cheap. nice shoes Old adidas cellerators - my oldie but goodies
Puma KSL : Match Lightweight, very comfortable,fits me perfectly and great touch on the ball. Lotto Zhero : Training,Match Lightweight,good fit. Joma Toledo : Training Durable,fit
Adidas silver predator pulse: These are by far the greatest boots, I've ever worn. They fit me perfect, and have never worn a boot that fits this well. They are a little heavy, but well worth it. Adidas supernova (indoor): I couldn't belive how well these fit me for an indoor shoe. I've noticed that nikes are very narrow, so adidas fit me really well. The problem with this shoe is the rubber on the foot started coming off about 3 months after I bought them. nike tiempo premier indoor: only nike shoe that i've been able to wear for long periods of time, and no blisters!!
Nike Air Zoom Total 90 III FG (Grey/White) : Match day boots Best fit I've ever had with a football boot. Yet unfortunately the sole plate has recently ripped from the upper. I have taken them back to JJB (Big English sports shop) and got a 100£ refund. Went looking for another pair, yet due to all the new colours etc, the same pair was unavailable, and as i am a defender, any other colour combination than the norm, like White/Gold, would see me get the p iss ripped outta me! (Therefore) Asics Testimonial FG : New Match day boots Good tight fit, very light and a good clean touch. Put elastic round the tongue's to keep them down. Look pretty tight now. Nike Air Zoom Total 90 II SG (Navy/White) : Match Day Boots I use these for any games when the surface is boggy. Good fit, and good control. Nike Mercurial Vapor I FG (Cinder/Yellow) : Training Good boot for messin around in, would never wear them in a match though! Adidas Predator Mania FG (Gunmetal) : Broke I split the sole during the summer so they now occupy my closet! Good looking boots.
Predator manias Black/Red FG - Have great power, feel, touch and are comfortable, not light not heavy. I think they are good allround boots. World cups- Very light 240g each (vapors 198g, preds 300g- to get the scale) They are classics, they have been going 4 over 20 years so i thought i couldn't go wrong when i bought them- and i was right.

Mizuno Morelia Wave - They are very light and have extra protection and look class but i have not recieves them yet as they are coming in the post. Talaria vapors - very light and great for control and touch however not good for tackling and powerful shots- pain - and they arent the most reliable. F-50 Black/Silver/Orange FG - Very light with light insole, give good power behind shots, look good and have great touch and feel.
Kelme Master EVO TRX2 - outdoor -amazing shoes, fit like a glove, light, very sturdy Nike Air Legend - outdoor -just bought them Kelme Master Turf - indoor turf -as with all Kelme shoes these are great. Kelme Trueno - indoor carpet -good shoe Nike Tiempo (Custom) - indoor carpet -decent shoe, but a bad fit made me move to Kelme another reason I wear Keme's is because I have a size D width foot and Kelme's have the widest footbase I've found.
I have a pair of Pred Pulses for matches coz they fit really good & a pair of Nike Air Max 365s for everything else. The Pulses are good & u can get loads of power with them & the Azts r rubbish, they fall apart well easy! Sam
Match Wear on firm ground: Silver Predator Pulse FG, they are extremely comfortable and not very heavy. Plus they look awesome and have great traction. Match Wear on firm ground 2: White and Blue Nike Air Zoom Total 90 II FG, I just got these and they are so comfortable. I mostly use them on harder surfaces like dirt or hard fields. The stud formation is perfect for those surfaces too. Match Wear on Soft Ground: Nike Mercurial Vapor II SG. Super light and because of the Weight i have great manueverability. They look awesome because i Have them on gold and they are great for speed as well.
The F-50's may be good but when the mesh gets wet they get quite heavy and your feet get wet which is of course uncomfortable and they aren't as good for power as the predators. I find them better on Astro turf then grass pitches.
Just ordered a pair of Shudohs. If anyone is interested, I'll post a review, and compare them to the pulses I wear currently. I played in my pulses for the first time in the rain, and they were AMAZING. I still had awesome touch for it being so wet. I was realy impressed. Can't wait for my shudohs though.
Misty Blue Nike Vapors soft ground- Broke into them after 2 games great boots. Red and Black Adidas Pulses soft ground- Clogg up with mud too easy and become heavy. Hard ground Adidas Copa Mundial- Great boots mould into your foot shape. Dont get to use them much now summers over. Adidas Astro blue Pulses- use them for astro turf on taining. There ok kinda big on your feet.
Nike Vapors FG (Black/Blue): Match boots, i recently bought these from a friend in perfect condition for 3$. yeah hes not real quick. Just like the feel and with quick feet lightweight boots really help Nike Vapors SG (Blue): For wet conditions, i also bought these from my same friend for 5$, also in perfect condition. so 2 pairs of vapors for 8 dollars. Same as above Adidas Preditor Mania FG (Gunmetal): I got these on sale for 140$, they're ok, i really only wear them if i start to get blisters from the vapors. I dont really like the grips on the side cuz it tends to put more spin on the bal then im used to, but a good boot overall. Nike Vapor FG (Chrome): These used to be my match boots, but i abused them so much after about 6 months they fell to just my training boots. Last two years, which definatly isnt bad for vapors, these were my favorite boots i had had, not only were they all cool with the chrome reflecting the light but i thougth they were comfortable when you break them in and no more blisters. But all good things must come to an end, 2 weeks ago i was getting all the mud/dirt out of him by clappin them together and the fiberglass frame on the bottom finally cracked. Oh well, they had a good run
Match boots - air zoom total 90III chrome and maroon they are the best boots i have ever had, its as simple as that
i bought them from a friend, he only wore them like 3 times, i mean they were in perfect condition you could still read the stuff they put inside the shoe. reason he sold me them for those prices is because hes retarded or doesnt care im not sure. dont matter to me cuz i got the better end of the bargain
I know this might make me sound bad, but ive never had a pair of SG's. I was looking to get some but i wanted to know if they really made a difference...
Outdoor: Just got Air Zoom total 90 ii for about 45 bucks on eastbay....and yes this is the expensive ones i saved 100+ bucks..and theyre really comfy and light, i ahvent played a match in them yet tho Indoor: Nike Total Magia II , cuz they look nice....indoor season is all fun for me so perfroamce dont matter that much, but they are really light.
The Copa/World Cup/Mundial team/Copa indoor I have about 20 other pairs of boots but these always seem to get eh job done the best. I am eyeing up the new f50+ though, if I can get my foot in them then I will be using them very soon.
Adidas World Cup Really light, good feel, quite good power n extremely comfortable. Adidas Copa Mundial Really light, good feel, quite good power n extremely comfortable. Adidas F-50- Silver, Black, Orange Extremely comfortable, great power, great feel and light. Adidas Predator Mania- Black, Red, White Great power, very comfortable, lots of swerve and very good lookin' Adidas Predator Pulse- Blue, Silver, Red Same as Predator Manias accept a bit lighter and more flexible. Mizuno Morelia Waves Very lightweight, extremely good feel, comfortable and power. Nike Talaria- Black, Surf Blue Very lightweight, great touch, flexible but painful when kicking. Umbro XAI III Very Comfortable, good power, feel and accuracy. Nike Mercurial Vapor- Black, Red - Not Worn Yet]
im a newbie at this but heres the boots i have; Nike total 90 mk III's (red and white) : these are my babies, the most comfortable boots ever! they is loads of paddin and yet to me they feel so light! lol mine are moulded studs and to be honest they seem great so far ive played on the artificial a bog (the worst pitch ever! lol) and extreme hard ground and they have never let me down lol nike total 90 II's (grey and navy blue) : these boots were my fav to be honest lol i use them when the ground its like a marsh, they get the job done basically nike taliria (a mark down from the mercurial's) these are jus like the vapours but i stop using them coz i got blisteres at the back of my heel but i found out why, the paddin shrinks at the bak (well mine did) and it rub on my heels which hurts of course and you all know how hard it is to play football with blisters on your heels lol umbro xavi exokelton; not quite sure what the name is so i jus wrote what the boot says lol, anyways these boots are fantastic for artificial turf, they are so perfect on there, although their tounge straps rip so easily but i surly do reccomend these for the artificial lol thanks for your time lol
