    These boots are real comfy, great touch and are really light weight. These boots are perfect for those of you thta like simple, but good looking decently made footy boots.

    Check em out....

    I put a bit of elastic round the tongue so they don't flop about...

    They were 80£. But i actually made 20£ on them because i had a pair of AZT's but they broke, and i got them for 100£, so i got a refund ad then i met these babies

    i know i it may sound slightly silly but how did you attach the elastic on to the tongue? did you glue it or get some thread and needle on it?

    p.s - class boot one of my all time faves a proper pro style boot

    Nah its not a silly q.

    Basically, after much time spent studying the design of the Predator tongues, i figured out a way of doing it.

    If you notice on all boots with tongues, like my Asics, there is a top layer of leather, and a bottom layer. The two are connected by thread around the outside, so simply, with specialist equipment (look in your grans sewing basket!), or a small pair of scissors, cut the thread about a cm either side of the tongue. Then insert a piece of elastic (like the ones found on the preds - you can buy it at all good sewing shops, and some bad ones as well) either side where you have made the insisions(sp?), and before sewing back up, adjust to so they just fit round the boot, and then sew them up, preferably with the same colour string as was orginally on the tongue, and hey presto, youre there...

    Oh yea, and Instead of fumbling around trying to sew for a couple of days non stop, just get your bird/mum/gran to do it!

    Hi there,

    Wonder if you could put a picture of the outsole? THanks.

    You see, I understand that there are the NX & NC soleplate

    I notice those differences at www.sportsshoes.com & www.prodirectsoccer.com

    Recently found that it's on offer at www.harchestermegastore.com (55-GBP) but unfortunately does not have my size (UK6)!

    Thanks!

    Cheers,
    SM

    thanks for clearing up the elastic tongue situation - i have noticed that the tongue is made of two pieces just never had the balls to go ahead and cut the thread and insert it. Its a great way for making the boots look very smart and professional, esp when boots like testimonials have such big fold over tongues.

    cheers again
