Football Boots

The realllllllly old predators that Beckham modelled. Loved those boots.
 
I remember my dad used to take me to the Adidas factory out Stockport way to get me boots whenever I needed a new pair.
 
I have fallen for these:

Anyone have any feedback on them?

I'd be slipping all over the place if i used them on the pitches i usually play on.
 
Laser III to be exact. My current pair is Total 90 Laser I hybrids 'studs on the toe blades on the heel' and the studs have nearly worn away.

I'm not sold yet on the III's. I have 2 pairs of the II's and they are perfection in comfort, the only problem with them is that they aren't as light as my other boots (Mercurial IVs, Ronaldinho SLs and Tiempo T90s) but the protection you get from them is amazing and I don't think you will get that in the IIIs, plus the colour is horrible.
 
Which studs go with which type of grass?
 
I might as well ask here.

I need to buy a new pair of astro's, and I'm going tomorrow. The boots I've got my eyes on are the Nike ones that a couple of our players wear. They're black at the front and red near the back.

Can anyone tell me what they are, if they're available as astroturfs and what they're like (if you've worn them) please? Cheers guys.

They have blades as well for wet grass.

I'd wager they're ideal for training on astro though.
Yes, the adiPURE I's were great on astro.

They are called ''Nike CTR360 Maestri''.

Er...soft to hard. Sooo studs to blades to tiny moulded studs.



I nearly bought the pro's version of those yesterday, the Legend Super lites I think they're called, reduced to £30 which is a fecking bargain but I figured that 7 pairs of boots is one too many.
 
These are mine, bought for the paltry sum of €30 (I only play once a week on astroTurf)

I'm not defending mine.

I needed boots. €30 on sale. Deal!!!

They're probably good for the job, im just laughing at the people who pay £120 for Sunday League boots. I'm very much a standard black & white boot man, none of this multi-coloured shit. If im honest they're the first people i would go for in a game.

For me personally, I have to buy expensive boots because of my wide feet 'the cheap total 90's don't come in wide foot' and I prefer comfortable boots. It's got nothing to do with being flash, but being comfortable and the cheaper the boot, the less comfortable they become.
 
I'll admit, while my boots aren't as bright as that picture I posted, they are flashy.

But I'm shit at football, so the boots are not a reflection on my own opinion of my game (ie I'm not a flashy player)

Fair enough guys, i wasn't attempting to blanket everyone who has those sort as feck wits. Just in my experience of the sunday league would suggest so & i completely understand about wide boots - if only they were more mainstream!

Its the same really with most footware. I can't wear nike trainers because they tend to be very narrow. In fact most trainers are very narrow so I have to buy those ugly arse New Balance, but fung me are they comfy. Thought about buying a pair of Air Jordans once but $700 AUD turned me off them.

You sir are very stupid (besides the Ferrari affiliation ;) ). I know what you mean, i have wide feet & nike seem to fit me the best. Total 90 II seem to do the best job yet (I haven't tried three as they look gay)
 
On another note, has anybody tried superfly's? I hear they're pretty special but I can't wear them.

Our family friends own a sports store and so when the new lot come in we get to go and have a play around with a couple of demo models 'ones they put on the shelf for show' but I simply cannot fit my foot in them with a sock on.
 
Lads i've got a question- my foot is quite wide so i always struggle to get a pair of boots that would fit. anybody has a similar problem? which model i should go for?

If you read a few posts above.......


I've got a wide foot and my current boot is a Total 90 laser 1's. You can get the middle of the range which is the total strike 90 that also comes in widefoot, but the cheapest of the range doesn't. I think Addidas also do a wide foot so its all a matter of preference.

You still should be able to get the Laser 2's as Nike have a tendency to make enough to continue sales for 2 years. I can still get the T90 Air III's :eek:
 
I thought that was normal with everyone? I get more power in barefoot but don't get as much curve on the ball.

Well after canvassing the mates that I play with it seems I have mutant feet (or they have weak feet) - a few months ago we went to the beach and a mate brought his normal football, and we had a kick around on the sand, and after about 5 minutes no one could go on because their feet hurt too much. Whereas I was entirely fine, and to this day prefer to play bare foot (depending on how my back is feeling) than with shoes.

Whereas everyone else I know cries and can't hit the ball hard.
