Soorbob trust me you've had a nice collection of boots. When i was that age i was one of them £10 umbro wearers. My mum would never spend over £40 for my boots and that was a stretch.i used to look at the MV STEAMS in awe! Now that i have means of raising money for myself i just buy top range boots. And for T90 Ozzy saying you're not spoilt. dont lie.
Agreed m4k, I just don't understand how anyone can be willing to buy a pair of $200 boots for a kid that still has growing feet, especially due to the fact that we're in a recession. Just do your parents a favor and get a pair of reasonably priced boots that will suit your level of play. I can see being 13/14 and having one or two high-end pairs, but to have what Ozzy has? No offense to him, but no matter how good he is, that's just ridiculous.
Yeah guys you do have a good point. And I have a £45 voucher though, I guess I shall wait for the MVVs to come out and decide between Citron Steams or V steams.
That sounds like a better plan to me. You'll almost always use outdoors more than indoors, so invest more more in the ones you use the most often
Yeah, so are they only indoors? I thought the 'Calcetto' outsole is just like astroturf? Oh. Well I'm so excited about what I have found that I have turned away from T-5s and astroturfs and here is my magnificent new find on PDS
Lol, but I think they will be stunning and remember our convo on mr getting an alternative trainer to the T-5s, well I think I may have found one
So I tried on the normal citron Vapors today...they are made in Bosnia and true to form with their factory they seem a touch off in sizing. I have the white and blue Vaps made in Italy in a 10.5 and they are much more sung around the contours of the foot in a 10.5 than the citron 10.5's from Bosnia, I really could do a 10 in the citrons which I can't do with an Italian made Vapor. I had the same thing happen with the Laser 1 synthetic models in the first run which were Italian made vs the later runs like the sliver with neon shotsheild which was made in Bosnia I also tried on the new white and blue Laser and for some reason it seems a bit wider than the earlier models at the forefoot point where the synthetic meets the rubber and it is stitched together. I swear that Nike does alter their boots fit slightly in the middle of the production runs.
vapors made in Bosnia?? That's so lame if Nike stops making all vapors in Italy. That was one of the things that separated Vapors from other boots.
Normal vapors are made in Bosnia. SL's still Italy. Speaking of which I wore my new citron vapors yesterday for indoor practice. I love them, the touch and feel is great, my feet feel so stable and strong when make cuts/accelerating. Shots were excellent. I loved it, i missed the feeling of having a good fitting pair of vapors (my pine green ones were half a size to big then stretched unnaturally for vapors). That is until the blisters came. I had totally forgot what its like breaking vapor in haha. Well, looks like im in for 2-3 weeks of hell. Still love these babies though
Soorbob, i posted those new ronnies back on Dec 9th, and everyone thought i photochoped them. gotta love it. i get no respect. new release thread III, post #257.
Ahhh, I'm not actually spoilt Puma V1.06's didnt fit, sent them back REFUND Laser I's got for 13th birthday, wore and sold, Made made from that to buy Laser II's hated them so sold them for around £75ish had money to buy the SL's which cracked so I got a full refund and then got the V1.08's which I sold because I didnt need them, got all money back. then came the SL's, kept a pair, sold a pair for double the price, then my Sl's just decided to die on me so I got a full refund, bought a pair of Steam II's and Vapour IV's both in Citron, both of them cost £120 so it was okay. then got given the Powerswerves for free SO..... in theory I only spent about £170 on boots and trainers. I had nothing else worth buying and I just have a strange passion for football boots... call it an obsession if you will... Sam
Couldn't have said it better myself. I had a pair of the ICE MV IIIs which fit much differently and a lot more snug compared to my MV III argons. Both boots are the same size
No, normal Vapors were made in Italy until the citron and I am assuming (I have yet to see them in person) the charcoal model.
It also says according to soccer.com's info that citrons weigh 9oz and all the other IVs say 8.1oz. THERES NO WAY YOU'LL BE FAST WITH THE EXTRA .9 oz!
is the difference in size from the regular IV's to the III's about half a size ? i'm thinking of getting a pair from a user here, but i couldn't find a store that had the IV's in my size (only a talaria in a 14) my III's are US9,for a nice snug fit, should i stick with the same size for the IV's or half a size down ? (tried searching but couldn't find it)
have a little problem.. I have some Nike Mercurial Vapor I but the sg studs are worn out .. so is there someone who know where i can buy some new or are they sold out? please answer
well i got rid of airlegend 1's in a 9 cause they were too small but then i went to but some tiempo II turfs and the 9.5 was too big idk if that helps since its the lower model and i ended up gettin a 9 in those
