I play for a college in the United States, so football boots for me are pretty important. I have been wearing the Mercurial Vapors for the past four or five years, and they keep getting worse. I have very narrow feet, and they seem to be the only ones to fit properly, though they take ages to break in (resulting in blisters galore). My advice if you have average sized feet would be to find a nice leather boot to mold to your foot, rather than being forced to have a synthetic boot where your feet are forced to mold to your boots.

I have the opposite problem, I have very wide feet and I have an impossible time finding boots that fit them comfortably. Only Nike's product general product line tends to run someone wide enough, but definitely not the Mercurials, and there's not a boot Adidas makes that I can wear.

Someone recommended these to me earlier this year:

Amazon.com: MF755LK New Balance MF755LK Football Kicker's Shoe: Shoes

They're made by New Balance and ostensibly for American Football field goal kickers, but look at them...they're football boots. And you can order them in wide sizes, which I've not found available for any other football boot. These are definitely my next pair.
 
I have never been secure enough in my footballing ability to get anything other than black football boots, the flashiest being predators (whatever that advertising campaign was it bloody worked!) My favourite boots of all time were just some run of the mill Puma Kings, scored bucket loads with them.
 
best boots i've had:

Nike Air Zoom Total 90 II (the last good total 90's)

Adidas Predator Mania

Currently use copa mundial's as I don't play as much as I used to and can't justify the outlay for a more expensive boot.

Copa's are decent training boots but I don't like how they don't provide much support around my heel due to the lack of a plastic/external heel counter. I feel more 'locked in' my boots in those that have that support which copas lack.

If I ever start playing again at a higher standard on a regular basis I'll probably look at either whatever predators are out, adipure's, or nike ctr 360.
 
My favourite pair were some old David Beckham predators, I think the 2002/03 ones, they looked sexy, were comfortable as feck and I usualy played quite well in them....then I outgrew them :(
 
I've had vapors before and hated them. Really are the worst in terms of blisters and discomfort, so I moved over to Adidas and got myself the new f50s. Have never ever loved a boot so quickly, best boot since my first pair of T90's.
 
Bought the Mercurials last year. Loved them. Really light. However it's time to get some new ones. Maybe the new Mercurials!

My current ones :

Which of the new mercurials are good?
