Adidas Thread [12] - Post info, pics & questions here!

Here you got for whoever was asking.

The main difference as you can see is that the upper is much softer. You can see that it's creased and moulded to my foot like a leather boot would around the toe box.

On my white general release ones the toe box has kept it shape and has no crease marks even though I've worn these boots just as much they still have that fresh out the box shape even though the upper has given a little.

The insole is slightly better on the Miadidas ones, but you can't really tell from a picture I'm afraid its down to feel and the tongue is a tiny bit longer at the top of the boot where you tie the laces.

In my opinion if you don't have the Miadidas to compare with the standard LZ2 you will be more than happy with the boot on general sale, but Adidas certainly do give something a little extra for your £ when it comes to owning a pair of Miadidas boots.

I'm currently waiting on my second pair to come! Can't wait.

Hope that helps!

I used to put a clothes peg on them when I wasn't wearing them, that would help to force a crease in the tongue and it eventually moulded that way - it altered a little when I laced the boots up but generally it was the same as when the pegs were on the tongues. Or you can always put your laces over your tongues for the first few wears.

A team mate of mine cut the tongues off their Copas - He was gutted when he saw how crap they looked!

I'm sponsored and I've worked hard to do so when I played and now I coach.

I think the price of Miadidas with postage are £183 (with postage) and I'm not condoning the price of the boots when you look at somewhere like PDS who are selling general releases for £159 (and I know there are places that sell the boots cheaper like Sports Direct) but if you do have to pay that price I'd rather put the extra £20 and have some made.

Football boot are getting ridiculously expensive and their shelf life is getting less and less. I said in the Nike thread i think thats why people are leaning towards custom colourways because they know that their boot will last until the next model comes out.

Decency I take it you were just looking into a pair to be nosey being as you hate the boot? lol

I get to choose, I had Adizeros for a long long time but the insole wasn't very good for my feet as I get quite bad plantar faciitis in my heels and the LZ range was recommended to me, I tried them and loved them so stuck with those.

Sounds good then! If you do decide to go with Miadidas you won't be disappointed with the quality. But i think you are doing the right thing by trying the boots on, when you do try the LZs on just remember that they do give a little when you've worn them for a bit.

The upper is more like the adizero synthetic upper. There is also an external heal counter like on the adizeros. I think the SL boot has improved with the LZ2 - The LZ1 SL was rubbish though, a lot of the predator elements were painted onto the boots, ad the rubber was much much thinner.
