General boots question/review thread [6] - all questions/reviews pictures on any boot brand here pls

Ahh the biggest roast on Warrior Sport's we have ever seen. Never get tired of this video!

 

This is just a general question I want to ask everyone. Do you guys ever have issues with ingrown toenails from soccer boots generally being tight fitting? I wonder if professionals have to deal with them too?

 

I've had my issues. I've learned to cut my nail when I feel it digging in, out so there's no 'point' pinching in to my skin.

Always catch it/cut the nail before it causes too much damage.

 

Yep... It's just basic hygiene and grooming.

 

The thing is, your nail isn't supposed to be growing/digging into you skin like that.

This is an issue we all have, and some people aren't comfortable doing an 'agressive' cut of the nail themselves to fix the problem.

I wouldn't paint with broad brush, brotha.

 

I just need some simple help. I'm looking at the puma v1.10, puma king II, or puma evoSPEED 3.4 leather. I know they're differen't cleats so you can exclude puma king II because it's the opposite of the others. But puma v1.10 (which i like most because its an old top teir 150 gram speed boot) or puma evospeed 3.4 leather (leather speed boot of course)?

 

General question: I always avoid blades, but just out of interest, when a soleplate just has blades in the the heal (like the Tiempo) is it still very grippy and harsh on your joints?

 

I guess it still is, just not THAT bad cause it mainly comes into play when you're planting your foot for a shot.

 

Anyone else notice the boot scene has really gotten boring in the past year or so? People used to be so hyped when there would be a new color way or boot released but that's not the case nowadays. Boots are leaked 12-15 months in advance, new color ways are thrown at us every 2-3 weeks, and the same ideas are being recycled over and over again by Nike and Adidas.

 

Yes I agree, it's quite boring. I don't find it fun to collect the big brands now like I did a couple of years ago. I also feel there's too much junk and the minute you actually find a model you enjoy wearing, it's gone in the blink of an eye and there's already a new version with some bright color and pattern. I almost wish I was just a copa guy, because then I'd never have to worry about losing my favorite boot.

 

wouldn't that be down to us though, being not as hyped about colourways or boot releases would be people like us hunting down boot spots from sites like footyheadlines etc?

 

Just a heads up on a deal I just stumbled across. Lovell Soccer currently have a 15% discount code on all the latest boot releases, so the latest Nike Electro Flare pack (I bought the Magista), X and Ace Primeknit, the new New Balance boots and couple of others.

The code is LSAUT15 and as far as I can work out applies to all of the boots here: http://www.lovellsoccer.co.uk/shop/collection/Autumn-2015

 

I agree, it's like our own obsession has killed our own interest.

 

What do you guys think about these new Serafino 4th Edge boots and the concept behind it?

I don't think these will take off. When I coach young kids, I tell them not to kick with their toes...(-;

 

I wasn't aware it was April 1st already?!

 

I am curious if anyone else is having this problem with artificial turf shoes with rubber soles. When I am wearing artificial turf shoes that have the soles that wrap up a bit around the side on the toe area, sometimes I have trouble with the side of the toe of my shoe catching a bit on the turf when I strike a long ball.

This problem goes away immediately if I play outdoors. It also goes away immediately if I wear cleats indoors, as most cleats do not have any part of the sole that wraps up around the side of the toe area.

 

Does anyone have a quick fix or remedy for a short toe box? My boots are miadidas 11pros 2015, they are leather but have a crosshatched cage thing. My great toe on my left is under too much pressure as is. Thanks.

 

Stuff them with lots of newspaper? Tried it with my copas and worked

 

Use a wooden shoe stretcher.

 

This is the dumbest thing in boot "innovation" since Concave.

 

Speaking of Concave...looks like they've got a new speed boot...

 

The look of the sole plate reminds me of the Pele trinity (graphic wise)

 

Posted this in the turf boot thread, but figured a post here couldn't hurt.

Has anyone had the chance to try on or play in the new Adidas TKRZ? I'm interested in a pair but I can't seem to find any local stores that have them in stock to try on.
