    I have total 90 lll $50 shoes, and I wanted to know what the differences are with them and $100 or more shoes? I cant imagine the $100 shoes that much better. I dont play for a team thats why I buy the cheaper ones. I just go to the park and and kick the ball around.

    if you dont play competitively than the $50 ones are just fine. the main differences are in the upper and the insole. i dont know too much about nikes but i would imagine the $100 ones are more reliable and more comfortable. quality is probably better in the more expensive ones. for a player who plays all the time, the boots need to be ready to go and need to be able to hold up high level of use and play. but like i said, if you arent on a team and just going to the park to play, then you are fine with $50 ones. no worries.

    for me the difference was been durability. The $100 cleats I have outlasted the less expensive shoes I've bought. So, in the long run the $100 cleats have been a better bargain because I don't have to replace them so often.

    The more expensive version of the total 90 III is they have a plastic heal guard on the back of the boots. They have an air system in them. And the insole is slightly different. As for things that you'd notice. They have 'Air Zoom' written by the laces and on the heal support. And the material they are made from is better quality.

    But if you play down the park the cheaper version are fine for you. And unless you know what you are looking for you can't really tell they are the cheaper version!

    Hope that helps!

    I have a question for you why do you need football boots to just play in the park, I recon you should just join a team. It'll also give you an excuse to buy the more expensive boots!

    there is actually nothing wrong with cheaper boots. as all the other posts have said, it is mainly the quality of materials etc. i'm not sure with the cheaper boots but the higher end nike boots were made in italy, not sure anymore. also with the external heel counter and air zoom unit in the higher end boot. i think the KNG material is also differant in the two boots, the higher end should be softer and more resistent to normal wear and tear.

    How does Lotto stack up against Adidas and Nike shoes?

    I have lotto shoes, never had anyother cleats except them but i have worn Mnanado indoors and another pair of lotto indoors both indoors were superb but i hated the lottos cleats they felt heavy and had a bad touch wouldn't recomend them to anyone and i usually like any shoes since i had a thousand non-stud shoes. I'd go for adidas.
