Hi, ive just joined this forum, hoping for help and info about this boot!

Basically I have only a few questions about the MVIII's, as i really want them, but am unsure about comfort (as my MVI's gave blisters in the heal so bad that i could barely WALK!)

1) What are they like in the heal? As my MVI's were so bad - im scared of these new 1s being the same and wasting my money!

2) I wore a size UK10 in my MVI's - will i need the same size in the MVIII's? As I've herd they are different? (width and length?)

3) Overall what do you make of them for comfort?

Im just very worried about these killing my feat as my MVI's did!
My MVI's gave such bad blisters in the heal, it was almost impossible to prevent!

I tried wearing an extra pair of socks, and also putting elastoplasts (BandAids) on my heal before games, but still no help - the boots tore through them all and still got blisters and painfull feet!

Hope anyone can help me, as the MVIII's look beautifull and i want them - but not if they are going to be the same as MVI's!

Thanks...

 

1. Added a heel cup = got rid of the rubbage against the heel
2. Go with the same size, it's a tad wider - nothing significant so that it will make you change your size
3. The footbed seemed nice when i put them on (but they felt too tight around my foot so i didn't go for them). The mvi footbed was awesome, so i'm guessing this will be the same or better.

 

Oh my lamb! holy cow!! those sweet!

How to clean Vapor 3's?

I have the white and gold ones. What is the best way to keep them clean?

 

what heel cup, I need one for my shins, the vapors are tight so how does the heel cup fit?

 

I suggest if you find them tight and not comfortable to take the awful in soles you they come with and put either some orthotics and a nicer softer in sole in them it makes the MV III so much more comfortable and you can wear them straight away in games without having to wear them in much

 

on the inside of the heel you probably saw a yellow 'heel cup,' which, felt real snug and comfortable when i tried them on last month. however, the forefoot was just too tight for my feet so i passed on them.

 

im sure many of you have seen these..but does anyone here own a pair of these by any chance? i have a few questions to ask about them..
