    Dude you just made my day!!! That was the only reason I didn't order through Ratuken because I didn't wanna wait a month. I live in Riverside. Gald to see a fellow Southern Cali reppin' the boards!
    What exactly is the process of ordering? Is there a specific seller I should contact?

    There is make@dosoccer.com and mgonnokami@sportsguide.jp

    The person that took 3 days for the package to get here is dosoccer they are located in Korea. Sportsguide takes around the same time maybe a day or two longer they are located in japan.

    Pretty much all you do is email them and tell them what product you are looking for and in what size, most boots have a product # to them so you might want to look for that or just name the boot/colorway. You state your size as CM for example a 9 US would be 27.0 CM a 9.5 US would be 27.5 and so on.

    After they will ask for your information and will invoice your paypal, they don't take very long to ship out usually the same or next day their prices are also pretty good considering Express Mail International is kinda expensive.

    Good luck!!!

    ive never had the adipure due to me not in favour of blades but ive had the ronaldinho legends (2006)and its a no contest. both the morelia and x-top are miles ahead of the legend. ive tired both the new legends and the elite version and i feel the fit in both morelia and x-top and more refined. the quality and craftmanship of the boot just evokes class. they will last a loooong time.

    leather in both is better than the legends. from what i have heard the new legends start of snug and comfy then over stretch. Both the above just mould to your feet.

    Right my foot length is 27.8cm so in all boots like legend,Morelia etc a 28cm is perfect. When I got the x-top I brought both 28cm and 27.5cm. I choice te 27.5cm as they offered a more snug feel. I would recommend if u like a snug tight fit then go half a size Dwn. Once u go through the break in period they are in MY opinion one of the best boots I've ever worn.

    They start off very very snug maybe to tight but trust me they give and mould to your feet perfectly. If I kept the 28cm I would have been complaining of not a snug fit.

    I have wide feet and they give, u just have to go through break in period.

    Are any of these boots good for natural pitches. I play all proper matches on grass pitches and its usually wet. Most of these boots look more suitable for AG surface

    That is not true, it shouldnt take you a month. I ordered from Rakuten, and once the payment is processed, it is definitely less than a week.

    how did you find those? they don't come up when I search rakuten, I only see these:
    http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/golfshop/item/120315-adi-007-spo/?s-id=borderless_browsehist_en

    x-top's are supposed to run wider, right? I can fit into a 9.5 in most boots (vapor VIII, predators, laser's) but they are way too narrow to be comfortable. And I know that they will stretch, but I'd rather have a boot that runs wider so they don't stretch so much and look deformed

    I have these boots ( just used them today).

    Like kiongsm said what is your 9.5?

    My foot size is a 28cm but I found these boots fit better if u go half size down and let them stretch to your feet.

    I love a snug fit and after breakin they are amazing. Just played two hours on turf and they was amazing so snug from start to finish and stud length are perfect for turf.

    The xtop don't run wide they are snug fitting and the midfoot narrowish, I have wide feet and I can tell u at first they feel as if they are to tight but they mould to your feet perfectly like a custom made shoe lol. I can't speak any more highly about these boots. I have Japan made mizuno morelias and I don't wear them due to how good these boots are for me. That my friend says alot as mizuno are amazing!!'

    9.5 US

    But here's the problem, I currently wear nike laser II's in a sz 10 US which are at least .5 size long but I have to order this size because the smaller sizes are not wide enough.

    When I measured my feet, i was about a 26.5cm which would actually be a 8.5 US. But I can't wear any boots this small because they are just too narrow.

    Has anyone here used Tenso? I am trying to figure out how to use it since I found a few X-top's that I like but those colors aren't available from sportsguide.

    i have wide feet as i said so i could fit in any superflies or vapours. if your fit are 26.5cm and you cant fit in them then i would suggest you get the mizuno moreila ot the morelia neo.

    my feet are a 2E in with and like i said they are tight at first but mould to you feet.

    it seems like your be the kind of person who has to try on your boots.

    ive used tenso many times kiongsm is the best person to help you. i would pm him.

    if your not getting a perfect fit in a boot then they will not perform to there optimum.

    how wide is your feet?

    did u mean u couldn't fit into superflies or vapors?

    Based on my measurements, I should be a 8.5 EEE US. And up until now, I have had to try on every pair of boots I've ever owned before I bought them. But that means I will never be able to buy a pair of mizuno's or x-top's unless I travel to Asia, which I would really like to try. I think size wise a 9.5 US should fit me, my laser's are 10 US and if they would stretch a little wider then they would fit very well (although a tad bit long). With the k-leather on mizuno's or x-tops, it should be shorter and stretch a little wider

    Yes sorry I couldn't fit in to superflies or vapors.

    It sounds like u should just get a wide fitting shoe or morelias or even the asics Ds light 5 in wide feet ( they se these on soccer.com). Like I said about the xtop a poor fitting shoe both length and width is a waste of money as your not be getting optimum performance out of the boot.
