If you have any questions on how sizing compares between brands put it in here. For instance, you own vapors but want to get some preds but don't know which size to get, the only thing you have to do now is ask in here. This saves multiple threads from being created and offers a little more order around here.

Good idea, but I'd like to go further and make this a general Q&A thread, as well as being a database for questions already asked. I'll try to keep an index of all questions that have been asked in this firts post.

Cheers.

yes my first idea turned into a pinned thread hooray lol

i got just got a new pair of legends and am about to get a pair of lasers can anyone compare the sizing if im a 9us in legends wat am i im lasers

i have legends in a uk8 us9 they are quite small in length, i have the leather lasers in the same size and they tend to be bigger in length and width.

thanks ab

EDIT: with my legends i have a bit of room to grow into so i want a good fit with my lasers if i get them so should i get 8.5 or 9 ????

anyone got any idea about the material of the mv4 lace cover?

50th post!

im a 9.5 in legends and i got lasers in 9.5 and they were a bit too long so id say go down half a size.

has anyone of you guys seen the mizuno ghost striker?

yeh i got a question for the fag thread, why is the underlining on the name, whos gonna post in the fag thread .... nanny realizes he just posted in the fag thread ......

Happy now? Apparently only the first letter of each word is allowed to be in caps...

What are the sizing on Mizuno Wave Shinkens? I wear a 7.5US in Legends.

Just got my MVIIIs. Can't tell if they will fit or not. Wore them around a bit and they hurt my heal area. My MVII hurt them a bit but then started fitting better. What should I do, wear them around a bit more? Maybe the MVIIIs don't work for me.

^^well if the problem is that it rubs your heal and u get blisters i heard it helps to put soda cans or a gatorade bottles in the heel and leave it in, itll widen the back of your vapors without you actually wearing them..it work for my vapor ks i hope this helps

That may help.
Still trying to decide if I should keep them or not. May wear them around the house to see how they feel.
Thanks for the help, and any other opinions.

well personally id get a new pair of boots? i mean the vapors are great boots because they feel like a sock on your foot but like my self i could only wear them for so long before i started to feel pain and get mad blisters so i faced the facts and didn't wear them any more.. id look into a pair of legends if i was you great boots, or if you into the light weight boots maybe some lottos, never tried them my self but always hear great reviews about them

^^^^
I have Legends and I love them. I have a pair of MVII that I like as well. I've got a bit of a blister on my toe already (from running not from boots) so I want to try the Vaps a bit more. Thanks for the opinion though.

EDIT: The VAPORIIIs feel a lot better tonight.
I was going to wait on the Vapor4s but I don't like lacecovers and thought I may wait to get them later. Plus I like the White/Ice Vapors.

i thought that when i got the vapors. it will work on every person out there in the world. first step you do is wear the vapors playing soccer and take them off when its hurting, than go back to your normal boots
play football for 2 or 3 days only for 30 minutes with the vapors on. after you can play as much as you want with other pairs.

than after your done playing football for the day, put water bottles at the back of the heel of the vapors and let them sit for for the remaining hours of the day.

after go play football again and take them off after 30 minutes again. go home and put the vapors in a really hot water for 20 minutes so it makes it softer.

let them dry anywhere but do not touch.


than try start playing again and if your heel hurts, do the water bottle trick again

Thanks for the tips.

They already seem to fit a lot better. The heel area is really the only spot that gives me any trouble and they are feeling better.

Can anyone help me find what size is good for me for vapors IIIs? Right now i wear size 8 in adidas samba classics and i don't know how the size of adidas compares to nikes.

If I wear a 11US in Vapor III, then what would I get in Puma v1.06? Thanks

just bought some black leather balm wondering how i should apply it any tips

what do you use to black out boots?

black leather dye and then use some leather dye sealant... it works... trust me. thats how i did my legends.

hey ive been using angelus leather paint for my black out legends and it works perfect and i havent had to repaint it yet and its been prob 30 plus wears but i want to do something about the silver bottom i hate it. did the dye help the silver black out or is there anything possible to get that black(ive used sharpie, leather paint, arcylic paint and nothing seems to work for more than 2 or 3 wears. )

and what brand of dye do you use and where did you get it

hmmm the bottom... well actually i just kinda left the silver be and i just took the white nike swoosh off in the middle of the boot. and i have no idea what you can use for the silver... i supppost just to try to use some spray paint or some acrylic paint... im not really sure. and the stuff i used was... im going to go check... well the sealant is meltonian nu-life color spray and im not sure what the leather dye was but i think it was the fiebings leather dye as i no longer have it some how? and i got it at a small dress shoe store in long beach, california. heres some pics... ill put some of my legends later.

sealant

dye

The Shinkens run large--about a full American size bigger than the Predator Pulse. I don't have Legends so I can't compare, but if they are similar to the Preds, I'd go for half to a full size smaller on the Shinken. They are also about the same size as the Copa. Just so you know, a new Shinken will be coming out in the spring with the bio-panel scaled down, which I think is a great idea. I just was not thrilled with half of my boot covered in kevlar. Also, the Ghost Striker is a fantastic Mizuno boot for less money. I'd go with the Ghost or wait for the new Shinken if I were you.

Quick Question
With PDS being a UK based shop. If I switch the pricing from pounds to american will it also change the sizing to american or will the sizing still stay UK because i have my eyes on a piar of vaporfs but dont want to get the sizing wrong

You could just get the size 9 Legends I have listed in the marketplace. LOL.
I need a size 10 in Legends, what size should I get for a pair of Predator Power Swerve boots?
Also, Realnomis7, that avatar picture is quite disturbing.

should I use the shower trick on my pred absolions, and should the water be hot or cold and should i wear socks. The leather on these abslions is gull grain

I just ordered from PDS and I believe the sizing will stay UK.

You could always phone in the order and then you wont have to worry about it.

qucik guys i need to know if i can wear my blackout aboslions in the shower or not and will the little metal parts rust

what metal is on the absolions? haha

if u wash off the excess water why would it matter?

No way they will rust after a little water gets on them. I wouldnt reccomend doing the shower thing with them though. Youd be better off just normally wearing them.

I dont think its a good idea to shower in them. just break them in naturally.

whats wrong with people these days? why can't you just break into them naturally like iliketoplaypsp suggested?

thats how it should be!

i have a question
what size should i buy for MVIII

ima a size 10 in predator absolutes

I have absolutes in size 11 and vapor III's in 11 too, so maybe the same size will do, i feel like my vapors are a little bit bigger tho. so for you probs 10 or 10.5, if thats any help?

oh thanks for the help
im thinking of getting the argon blue
