    Yeovil,somerset
    Mercurial vapor ice.
    size 6 1/2 good sizing
    lasted over a year (still wearing them now but rubbing)
    7.5/10 very comfy
    8/10
    Didn't really take notice of the blades just got on with the game.
    No problems untill your feet grow,then they rub really bad.
    7/10 for overall

    1. Nike AZT90 II
    2. size 10. I really don't know what a "true fit" is. I wear from a 9-10.
    3. a year. they're still in perfect condition, IMO
    4. 9/10
    5.9/10
    6. they grip fairly well. manias had better grip, but those studs were huge.
    7. sometimes the KNG-100 might get a little piece that comes off when you get stepped on, and it leaves a pinkish color there lol.(I've noticed this with the few pairs I've had) it's nothing major though, just nit picking.
    8. 9/10. I like the new stud configuration on the IIIs. But, these are the best of the AZT line. best looking, most comfortable, best fitting.

    here it goes

    1. Azt 90iii
    2. fit well but the toebox could be a bit smaller 7/10
    3. still wearing them in good condition ;)
    4. 9/10 very comfortable well thats what they were made for
    5. 8/10 design growing on me but not as nice as the azt 90ii
    6. Amazing grip when you twisting and turning in and out of players
    7. No problems just yet
    8. 9/10 amazing boot for skills, you get a great touch on the ball, pin point passing , powerfull shots, air zoom unit for comfort and these boots are fairly lightweight

    i recommend these boots to any one especially them skilfull play makers. :) :rolleyes: :p

    the mountains
    1. adidas Predator Mania FG Lunar
    2. true to size
    3. 8 months and still going; forward instep/sole of right shoe splitting
    :(
    4. 9/10 especially for me, high arch + narrow feet
    5. 8/10 looks really nice, paint scuffs a bit but not too bad
    6. grip is great, nice big blades even for FG
    7. sole splits
    8. 9/10 look great with tongue way down and are plain sweet for touch!
    Took them out for two games today and scored 3 goals.

    1. adidas Predator Pulse SG
    2. true to size
    3. lol ~2.5 months
    4. 9/10 good for when you can't wear other boots because of blisters
    5. 9/10 look really good, got black for SG because of mud, but white/blue are really nice
    6. good grip in soft fields, a bit high and unstable on harder fields (duh)
    7. One of the metal xtrx cleats came out at practice, but I found it. I think I dragged my foot a little though.
    8. 9/10 like them a lot

    probably going to replace the lunar manias with white/blue beckham predators
    :D :D :D

    do you find that you get a lot of power when striking the ball with the 90 on the inside of the boot?

    1. Lotto Zhero FG (red/silver)
    2. fit = Not true to size, feels 1/2 too big
    3. how long u had it? = 1 week 3 indoor matches
    4. comfort = 8
    5.looks = 10
    6. grip = 9.5
    7. problems with the boot? = So far a little stud pressure in the begining.
    8. overall rating of the boot = I'm pretty happy so far. I did pay a bit of money for them, so i hope they work out a little better than the first 2 matches. I have 2 more mathches tonight so we'll see. Light, great touch, great grip, i would say 8/10 due to the sizing and stud pressure. Oh and if you all think Adidas gives you looooooooooooooooong laces, you aint seen nothing till you see the lotto laces. Not only are they long, they're cheap!!

    The Diadora Brasils upper K-leder are very comfortable, supple, well padded but not too thick therefore still very light. The double-stitching improves durability much more than the Legends. THe Cambrelle lining inside the boot avoids over-stretching thus the shoe stays in original shape even after many many wearings.

    The outsole is also very flexible as the last board/footbed are made of PU & not card boards like the Copas thus retains no water when play on wet pitch, as a result much lighter than the Copas. Furthermore the flex-zones at the forefoot improves the movement greatly. THe Engage removable insoles are just second to none. If you go for the 2004/2005 models, the conical studs are shorter than Copas n' Legends, so very suitable for firm/hard pitches. The 2005/2006 models incorporate the Axeler technology which is the same as the Attiva models (check out www.soccer.com for more details on the new models)

    Overall, much better than Copas I feel. Rather much different than the LEgends as the latter outsoles are totally different in nature n' material.

    THe black-Fluo Yellow is just superb in terms of pitch visibility.

    Check out www.prodirectsoccer.com (that's where I got the Brasils Pro & SPA >excellent choice)

    Cheers.

    1. name of boot = Adidas f50+ (red/pearl)
    2. fit = True to size
    3. 1 week
    4. comfort = 8
    5. looks = 9
    6. grip = Pretty good in real grass, not so good in synthetic, likewise with all the adidas that have the stud config.
    7. While they are wider than the originals, they are still narrow, causing some stud pressure on the outside of boot.
    8. Overall I would say 9 - It's only been 3 matches but so far, these are a VAST improvement over the originals, especially in comfort. They are very snug fitting (just as i like) and much better lace cover compared to the first model. I have the luxury of playing in San Diego, where rain and wet fields aren't really a problem. Especially this time of year, so i cant give a wet condition review, and probably won't ever :D I would recommend these over the pulses any day of the week. I wasn't fond of the origianl blue/black color, but these look class. I can't wait for the black/white ones, looks like I better start saving my $$$

    must be real nice. My season was scheduled to start almost a month ago, and I'm yet to play a match. :mad:

    It used to not rain in New Jersey and we had drought problems every year, but now it seems like it doesn't stop. I swear though, it doesn't start raining until Thursday night/Friday morning, and continues to Saturday, so the fields are unplayable and games are canceled.

    Has anyone had the Puma Kings? If so, could you give a review of them - and please be VERY honest :). The lowest rating on here so far is a 7 so, either everyones been lucky in finding a very good pair of boots oooor?

    I've heard from a couple people that the Kings fell apart pretty easily and only after maybe 5 times of wearing them. I've also heard that they're pretty heavy so :\. On an upside, others have told me its the best pair of boots they've ever worn :p.

    If you're wondering about the KSLs, I can say that they are probably my favorite boot that i've owned in quite some time. Here's my review of them

    1. Puma KSL silver/black
    2. fit = Very true to size, little narrow on the toe area
    3. how long u had it? = 6 months
    4. comfort = 10
    5.looks = 10
    6. grip = 9.5
    7. problems with the boot? = Not one problem at all. I will say that if you get the silver ones, the leather at the toe discolors pretty quick, but you REALLY have to look to notice it. Anyone looking at the boot casually won't notice.
    8. overall rating of the boot = 10. These are by far the greatest boots i've ever worn. Light, great touch, pretty good grip studs make for low to the ground fit. They stretched just enough to fit perfect. I have yet to have any problems with the leather, or separation or anything like that. WELL worth the money. I would not reccomend these boots if you have wide feet though. Better suited for narrow feet.

    4. comfort = 10
