I too have decided to get the adipures over the powerswerves. The strange thing is the size:

- My predator pulse II I wear a size 10.5
- I tried the powerswerves and size 10 fit me best
- I tried the adipures and size 9 fit the best

Does this make sense???
MackemAB
Yes it does, i found basically the same thing.

adipures size the same as copas i think. and im a 8.5uk in them. absolutes in a uk9. powerswerves uk9.5

If I get K Leather V1.06's, will it hurt when I kick the ball? I know it's kind of a stupid question, but I've heard that before. Also, I wear a size 11.5 in Air Legends, what size should I get? And would these boots be o.k. for a defender, or should I stick to the Legends?
Sushi19
nah it shouldnt hurt when you kick the ball [for me at least]. you just have to get used to the feel of the ball with them since theyre pretty thin. and unless you have glass feet, youll be fine. and yeah they are fine for defenders as i play defence also. boots dont corralate[???] to positions either.

oh and on the sizing. i wore a half size bigger so it wouldnt rip as fast as if i got my perfect size.
Lockdown
Yes it will hurt (from my experiences with it anyway), much like when you shoot with vapors. But take a man pill, if you like them, get them. Not sure about sizing compared to legends, but i was a us9 in vapor IIIs and i got us9 in v1s. And boots arent made for specific positions, unless your a defender who doesnt want to get his feet sore from tackles

Pretty much what sushi said

What I meant is are they durable enough to go into a ton of tackles. You know how a defender would probably want a more durable stable boot as opposed to a thin boots which might tear easily or something of that nature.
Sushi19
ummm i guess. idk its probablly ok for sliding but in my case im the fastest player on my team and i usually dont have to go into tackles, i end up getting the ball from him w/out sliding on him... sorry not trying to brag or anything. i mean if i was lying it just makes me look like a douche bag trying to make myself look good over the internet, like all those d-bags that claim to play for man u, arsenal and are "ex-pros" haha.

if its more comfortable for you to wear sturdier boots [legends/preds/etc...] than thin ass boots [vaps/v1's] then you can try like... the evolutions or leggendas as those are pretty vapor-esque and are comfortable/study in either preferance of leather[leggenda's] or syn[evo's].
pato2008

Im an ex-pro, I played leftback for QPR laugh.gif (little britain joke)
Some tackles it wont matter what boots youve got in itll still hurt, I thought supremacies were chunky enough to withstand most, but getting stood on by the massive bodge in the other team made me feel otherwise
Ty if you like legends and you like the protection they give you, just get them
Sushi19
daaaaaayuuuum. no way!!! you played for them??? wow.gif haha

anyway... thats exactly like how people blamed the supremacys for rooney breaking his metatarsal when no matter which boot you wear sometimes those type of things are still going to happen, even when you get stepped on by a beast. if ronaldo broke his metatarsals, i bet everyone would blame his vaps for being too thin and unprotective.
Ty_
I already have Legend Is and IIs, but I'm going to get some kind of high-end boot for cheap just to see if I like them better, I'm just trying to decide which ones I should get to try out.
Mazz
Hey guys!
What do you think which are better - mv4s or v1.08s?
And which are wider?
Ayresome
From what I've heard the vapors are wider, also, I am not totally won over by v1.08s so I'd say the vapors are better smile.gif

Couple questions...
1) Does anybody know of any US vendor that sells the MVIII R9 special editions? (in sz 9)?
2) Is there a major difference (touch, durability, comfortability) between the glossy and matte finish on the MVIII's? My two choices are the navy/white or blue graphite/yellow. I know that has been discussed on here somewhere, but any help would be appreciated.

I dont know where I heard this but I hear Messi was getting his own cleat line from Adidas soon. Forget where I heard it from but if they did I think they would just be similair to the F30 but maybe leather and maybe a few tweaks here and there.

hey guys whats up, im new to the forum and i need some help deciding what boots to get, its kinda off topic but i need some opinions, i play winger so im looking for a light boot with good touch and control, a few choices i was pondering were... 1) MV III 2) Legends II 3) Tunits (probably customized ones) Price is not really an issue, just dont wanna spend 200$ on boots that will last me 1 season. But anyway any suggestions on some good durable boots would be great

thanks guys

Lockdown
official i dont know what boot to get thread
This threads there for a reason...

As for those three boots, given what you're saying Id go for the MV IIIs, theyre light, touch and control is pretty much up to how good you are but the uppers thin so you get a good feel for the ball
Bub.
Has anybody had any problems with Profi's? Im seriously considering buying me a pair of these and i just wanted some info on durability on them. Do the soles split? Do the stripes on the sides come loose?

I wear a size UK 8 in legends and Tiempo's so should i take the same size or a size down as many have said that these boots stretch a lot. The profi's are supposed to be based on the copa's and i know the copa's stretch a hell of a lot.

Another boot i was considering is the adipure. They are selling for like 95pounds whereas i can get the Profi's for like $70 on ebay. Is there really that big of a difference between the two as the adipures also have that classic look.

If this was posted in the wrong thread can a moderator please move it then.

Thanks guys

I ended going with the glossy navy/silver mviii's. This is my first pair of Vapors because this was the first pair that was wide enough for me to fit comfortably (and I got them at a decent price with the mvIV coming out).

Thanks for the help, I do appreciate it.

oh ok thanks
but to add on to my last post

this was my first time ordering from soccer.com
i have recieved 2 emails so far the
first one was the confirmation email and
the second one was the tracking number

is it going well so far?
MHuang
yea. in a day or two, once they process your order, you should be able to check the tracking number to see how far along your order is shipping-wise.

I'm thinking of getting Copa Mundials, currently i've got size 11 UK Absolions, are the differences between Adidas boots big or should i just get size 11 Copas?
AtleticoMalmi™
Possibly... but if I were you I'd go to a shop and try them on to find out wink.gif
Radcleat
That's right... you should be able to find Copas in just about any sports store. Go try em on.
Mazz
have anyone had adidas f50+ a3-s?
are they good?
i found these in my local adidas store and they were very cheap.
i didn't have time to try them on so now i'm asking it from you.
Ayresome
They are, without doubt, one of the best astro turf trainers I have ever used, go for them!
Mazz
ok, thanks.
maybe i'll buy them when i go around there.
it's not near my home.
they cost about 20 or 25 pounds.
Josh #16
Great price for F50+ A3's, i had a pair and they cost me £52 and they were worth every penny.

Anyways i want to know what size i should get MV IV's in? Im a 11 in MVIII?
trevor16
should i get mv3 or zhero gravity
robocop
Thats your choice trevor. Noone can decide that for you.
Lockdown
I can. Get mv3s thumbsup.gif
Theyre a good pair of boots
Not knocking gravities but you have to be lucky for your foot to fit them well enough to keep them tight
DPR7
i am thinking about getting some mv4 in the mv3 i wore a 10 and had about a thumbnails lengh which caused me to mess up my toenail because of it slamming the toebox i was wondering should i go with a sz 9 to eliminate that space.

Thanx

for anyone who has adipures how do they feel and what are the sizing compared to predators?
Mazz
damn
when i went to the adidas store there wasn't my size a3-s. sad.gif

I am looking for some info on the Nike lasers. If anyone who has these boots could give me some info on them it would be appreciated. Sizing ect.

Does anybody know how to black out kangaroo absolutes?
Radcleat
Why would you do that?
Sto
Becasue they are an old pair of cleats, and i just want to do it for the heck of it.
SmoothTT07
Really don't think he was asking for criticism but rather an answer.

Best way to do it is leather dye, you can pick it up at craft stores or leather retailers. I've blacked out two of my boots and they still look great. One thing though, the absolutes have alot of plastic or whatever around the ankle, not sure how to do that part. You could either paint it or sharpie it, these are just thoughts not recommendations.

Actually I just wondered why someone would do it. I wasn't being sarcastic.
SmoothTT07
^you got a weird color for cheap or you have an old boot you no longer like. Besides black is a classy color.

Here are my konstukts and legends.
I really like my konstrukts, they are great. Some of the color on the sole has gone away but thats ok, the upper still is pristine.
