Just test it out at your next practice and see how it works smile.gif
If you notice any type of difference, it'll probably go away later on as you get used to it.

The emails are basically instantaneuous, if you havent already check your junk folder/rubbish bin to see if your email hasnt automatically trashed it. If not, then either the PDS auto emailers just taking its time or you mistyped your email when ordering


thanks m8, i'v checked my junk, its not their lol, im really worried now!!!!
what does the e-mail actually contain, is it anything important???
Lockdown
the email is quite important, it contains order id etc. if you still havent got it in the next day or so id email PDS and ask them about it
keetchy2008

do any of guys that have wide feet, like i mean preety wide, fit into vapor 4's. My feet are able to fit in Legends and lasers, aswell as preds, but i have never had the chance to try on vap 4's do u think its worth me buying a pair?
Lockdown
Dont buy them without trying them, especially if youve got wide feet
FSpelle
I wear us 6 1/2 in Absolutes and 7 in Vapor IIIs which would be the best size in Kelmes. I have pretty narrow feet are Kelmes wide or regular(eurosport says wide, PDS regular) PDS has Masters, Master Infinitos and Tiburon Stealths on sale. Which do you reckon is the best?
LFCMVFC
i wish i had smaller feet, then id have more choice, mine are US12 with socks so i have to get US13s and they arent very common.

thats weird i always find that adidas are half a size smaller than nike!
for example my preds are an 11 and they are a tight fit but my vaps are a 10 1/2 and are the perfect fit!

Well I can't get size 6 vapors to my foot and size 7 are maybe little too big. Thos absolutes fit me perfect.

Sounds like you need a 6 1/2 thumbsup.gif .
KiCkAsS
Im looking too buy a pair of AdiPure's, but im not really sure what size i should get it in... Ive got absolutes in size UK 6 1/2, they fit perfect in length, but are really narrow so they crunch my toes. So, my question is how do Adipures compare to absolutes in length and narrowness?

Hey, I'm interested in getting some Lotto Zhero Evolutions, can anyone clarify what size I should order? 9.5 MVIIIs fit me snugly. Also, is there a difference between the FG 3F and the FG or are some retailers just a bit lazy about adding the last bit? Thanks!
xinzhitan14
Does anyone know where i can get T90 Strikes in Turf?! i'm after some in US10.5, but i cant find any on soccer.com as they have no stock on 10/10.5 sizes =/.

let me know if you guys find anything..
thanks

pato2008

Marlonex

Pepi#7
I am considering getting the limited edition Nike Mercurial SL $500, would this be a wise investment, to hang on to and sell later on for somr profit??

I've thought about doing the same thing, I would be almost positive that they'll rise in value. If you just put them away for a couple years you could defiantly make some money.
Texas Red Devil
Yeah you probably could, but it would have to be a serious collector to buy them because not many people will have worn them and want to find another pair like MV II's which are in high demand on ebay.
Myzteryz
Based on my regular foot size being a tiny bit under 9 but above 8.5, what size Mercurial Vapor III should I get? I'm guessing its either 9 or 9.5.

I would have tried them out at a store instead of posting but none of the nearby sports stores sell vapors, only T90s.

I wear size 9 vans for my regular shoes and I have like a tiny bit of extra space but it's still comfortable. My previous soccer cleats are way to small to use to compare now tongue.gif

So based on your own personal experiences with the MVIIIs and knowledge, what do you suggest?
armatik
Myzteryz, my feet are just like yours. Like an 8.75 rather than a 9, but I wear 9s in soccer cleats and they're good. I think the 8.5 would be too tight a fit and would start hurting, but I don't know for sure. I know that they fit perfectly in a size 9 though.

Posted this in 2 other threads with no reply, so i ask again...

My predator absolutes, which have long been my favorite boots that i own, have become almost unwearable on me now. They are so tight, occasionally i get blisters on my toes. While i have plenty more boots, and good ones at that, i just dont play as well when im not in my preds, whether that be psychological or physical. I am currently saving up for a pair of powerswerves, but seeing as i am not old enough to have a steady paying job, thats not coming along to well. I already keep shoe trees in them whenever im not using them but that doesnt seem to do much. Any suggestions?

get some cheap absolutes now the PS are out?

well the powerswerves im saving up for are 90 dollars (amazing deal) but unfortunately i suck at saving money. The second i get any money i spend it. I need a short term solution to make my abs longer till i get powerswerves.
MHuang
Easy: cut your toes off. tongue.gif
Just kidding. Ontopic, if you're already using shoe trees and the shoes still won't stretch, there's not much you can really do. I'm thinking the best thing for you do to is just to save money, and $90 for PSes is a great deal, and get those as soon as you can. Before you spend your money, think about whether you'd rather spend the money and play in boots that are too small or whether you'd rather sacrifice a little spending and buy the PSes.
Lockdown
sounds like you can
a. man up and deal with the pain
b. learn to save better and get the boots faster
c. pull some strings/winge and moan to your rents for new boots
d. stretch the boots out on one of those torturing racks
juniorsheva17
Haha, unfortunately i dont know where i could get one for the fourth option, but yeah, i've tried my parents from what seems like every angle but i'll just start selling boots to friends and buy the powerswerves. Thanks.
Pepi#7
Hey guys I have Nike Mercurial Vapor III Graphite/Yellow and I have worn them for a few times and they hurt my feet like hell, my ankle area and my toes especially I have them in size 8 I had 8.5 and were a little loose.
I am really considering buying some more comfortable cleats and I am considering getting K leather since I assume it is more comfortable, what can you guys recommend, I was thinking maybe Nike total 90 Laser, Puma v 1.06, Nike Legend or Adidas Predator absolute, I appreciate the feedback.
smsc21
Does anyone know the sizing of the air mystic II compared to the samba becuase i need some new indoors and would like to try the nikes, i wear a 8.5 in the sambas by the way
juniorsheva17
Just sold 3 pairs of boots today (Predator Absolado, Nike Mercurial Vapor III and Puma V.106 FG) and now i have the money to order the Powerswerves, ordering them sometime this week.

I was just wondering; Does Chelsea leather food actually make leather softer? I just bought Legend IIs and the leather is amazing but I would like to make it even better.

Also, what is the difference between Leather Food and Dubbin?
Texas Red Devil
Yeah the Chelsea leather food made my Umbro X Boot's much softer when I was using it a couple of years ago. I'm mostly a synthetic guy now so I haven't had much use for it until I got my SX Flare's and it still does the job. As for the Dubbin I have no idea.
crzygrmn
Hey red I'm was looking at the flare's in the shop today and they looked and felt pretty good. What's your opinion on them?

Fortunately im not using a site, my friends were intrested enough to pay me what i needed for the boots.

I was wondering if anyone had the v1.08 trainers, whether leather or synthetic, and how they felt about them

Well the touch and control is top class, thats for sure. The Michelin touch control is no joke and actually adds more spin to your shot and long passes than you'd expect. I especially love it for bringing in long balls though, it sticks to it like glue. The k-leather is nice, the one thing I don't like about the shape of the boot is the narrow toe box. Another downside for me is circular studs which I'm not a big fan of because I like to roll the ball quickly at times and it loses grip. You virtually don't feel the boot as it fits really well and they feel as light as my MV IV's.

Overall: 9/10
crzygrmn
So would you consider them a narrow boot, say, as narrow as the mv3's?
Texas Red Devil
No there is a bit more room in the middle of the boot it just seems to narrow quickly in the toebox. The fit is just slightly looser than MV III's.
crzygrmn
all right, thanks for the review.

I was saying the michelin stuff worked before and people thought I was crazy. They're such a treat to play in aren't they! I had X Boots but the SXs look about the same (but the SX looks so much nicer than the X Boot).

Also, cheers for the review of Leather Food, I will buy some soon smile.gif
Texas Red Devil
Yeah mate the leather food should do the trick. I just bought the Flare's for a training boot thinking that it would be a let down but you're right they're great. The Michelin touch control is much better than the Predator vamps on my Absolutes.
