Puma V1-06 Brief Review, Pics Inc.

red & wite army · Jan 15, 2006

About the shooting and cleaning, I don't know yet.

These boots are absolutely brilliant, but the price payed for them was quite alot more than how much i can get them for n the net now. I have them on appro, so I am still deciding. I think because these are so amazing, i'm going to take them back and get them off a cheaper website. It has nothing to do with the boot, but rather the price.

I hae afeeling they may stain, but then again this material is so unlike any other upper, it might just wipe off!

Because the boot fits very closely on your instep area like the Vapor, i assume is would be quite similar.

Flyingfullback, if I measure around my foot just behind my toes, it says 25cm. I had to get Vapors in a half size and they are still abit to long. The Pumas in size 8uk fitted fine and was wider than the vapor, but i thought it would be better to get a half size in cse my foot grew abit. So basically, these are wider than the Vapor asnd F50+. It fits my foot length and width wise perfectly.

Footão, they give more support than Vapors. With the Vapors, my foot 'falls' over the inside, with these, its perfect. And they cost US$175 on soccer.com.

Seb-Seb, I think it would hurt more if you got stepped on with these on than Vapors. The best way I can explain the uppers is that they are like a thick sock with high quality tent material, lol!

Webo26, I haven't seen the V3's yet. I was looking at them on soccer.com, and they seem quite goot, and alot cheaper, but because I haven't seen the material and tried it on, I can't say. But from the pics, they don't seem nearly as thin.

And in case any1 is wondering, I weigh all my boots on a very reliable kitchen scale, so all my weights are definite.

now i am really convinced. I really want to buy these boots.

the puma v3.06 look pretty good but they have synthetic leather and i know that is not the best but should i still get them and is that kind of leather good.

V1 is made in China?

Flavio · Jan 17, 2006

The commercial for the boot is on the air here in sweden now, can´t wait to get my hands on them!

Tiger2*5 · Jan 21, 2006

Ive heard a rumour from a local club thats sponsored by puma that this boot will be coming out in some more colourways to rival the predator and vapour. I have to say ive never been a big fan of puma boots but i think ive been converted i'll definately be buying the fg, ive just seen on sky sports news the official release event with Wayne Bridge from Chelsea.

Dr. Boots · Jan 21, 2006

The colorways that will be out through the fall are the current white, and the red models. There will also be a black (my favorite) and then a grass stain green and neon yellow model. I know the last ones sound really weird and I can't describe them in the best way but they will work for the style of the shoe I am sure.

There is also going to be a neon yellow color upper but that will only be on the turf/trainer model.

Heres the black ones. Carlty's auction from a long time ago. This decision is really hard between the 3 colors.

goalhappy27 · Jan 21, 2006

thanks those are nice, so when does this color come out?

mutza · Jan 22, 2006

Reds gotta be my favourite

red & wite army · Jan 22, 2006

I'll be getting the black ones.

Red look really nice, and is my favourite, but due to the qualities of the upper, and dirt, I don't think they wll look nice for long.

Tiger2*5 · Jan 22, 2006

Im split between the black and red they both look top quality. Theres some going on ebay at the moment.

Thank God I play on turf then.

Juventus_Supporter · Jan 22, 2006

Why is everyone saying they are replacing cellerators, they are updates of the king exec, and the v1 line isnt replacing them either, the cellerators might be discontinued but theses aren't updates!

red & wite army · Jan 23, 2006

I was told by a very good source, that:

-Execs will replace KSl's (Simple, leather, light)
-Konstrukts will replace Cellerators (Technology)
-V1's will replace Icanas (Material and light)

If you think of it, it makes sence.

I've heard pretty much the same thing. However:

1. Bad move
2. HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, GAWDAWFUL move
3. Good move

Since the cellarators are gone (R.I.P.) The v1s aren't looking so bad....

I fully agree.

1. The KSL's were awesome durable boots..not to mention great looking! Now the Execs do look nice, but from every review i've read, they seem to break terribly easy.
2.Exactly! I love the look of the cellerators, and not the Konstructs...they look mega chunky. I'm actually pretty upset that i'm set to never have a pair..infact 'm really angry!
3. Brilliant improvement!

flyingfullback · Jan 23, 2006

wait wat do the konstrukts look like. i've never seen those before

cazdaspaz · Jan 25, 2006

The V1-06 is the best boot I've ever tried on. They are so comfy and I can say that they do feel lighter than the vapor III. I had one on either foot in the shop today and the pumas feel lighter on my foot. They hug my foot very well and I will definately be getting a pair soon.

hawk_claw · Jan 25, 2006

im gonna be completely honest

one of the visually greatest cleats
