im looking to spend about £60 pounds on a SG boot and i dont want to waste any money on a boot that doesnt have much traxion so should i be looking at something with studs (vapors etc.) or metal blades (preds etc.)?
What size are you looking for? I have a pair of brand new (in original box) red Puma King Pro SG (studs) size 9.5 (UK) that I'd be willing to part with for the right price . If interested get back to me.
Personally I go for blades over studs in SG boots. They have less stud pressure on your foot and I feel more grip from them. It is personal preference though. If I was in your position looking for boots for that price in SG I'd either nab some cheap Pulses or go for Aveiros but that's because they fit my foot nicely.
I don't necessarily have a preference, as i believe that it does not matter very much. I just have a suggestion, and you don't necessarily even have to try it out. I currently have a pair of nike air zoom total 90 II SG and i love the traction. you can get a pair of the highest quality boots on ebay since theyr just the older version. Trust me, azt IIs are the real deal. I am assuming your size is ( 3.5 sizes smaller than UK 9.5 = UK 6 = US 7) so US 7. I know that the following links are based in the US so shipping to england would be expensive, but youll often see people based in England selling size UK 6 ones and they will often go for cheap because fewer people have such small feet. Just keep an eye out on ebay if you want aztIIs for really cheap: UK Size 6 UK Size 6 UK Size 5.5
i also have AZT II"s in soft ground. i bought them at the same time as my tiempos, and i personally like the tiempo's better. got a good deal too.
