damn lol so wat am i doin wrong playin in them to much?
robocop
idk. i wore my graphite 3s for a full year without rotating them with other boots.
it could be playing too much, but i doubt it.

My Vapor 3's only last for about 3-4 months also and they are destroyed. So its not just you.

what surface do you play on? i find my boots die within weeks if i play with them on artificial turf, but if u play with them on grass they last for at least 1 season

Where do you live? If it is very dry where you live, that might be the answer.

im 5'8 ish

125 pounds


i played with vapors for about......................... 7 months in artificial turf. no rips, just lots of scuffs.

they do get dirty easily but when you play in turf when it rains, everything goes away haha

im 5'5 132 pounds. I have sl's and have had no issues with my current or previous vaps

I'm almost 6ft @ 180 pounds.
Vapor IIIs (Red/White) have lasted me about 5 months. The back heel studs peel off completely and the yellow cushioning peel off as well. But I also used them in Artificial Turf, Natural Grass, and the most piece of shit field as well: Dirt and rocks...
Vapor IVs (Red/Gold) it's been about 4 months of use. The back heel studs are starting to peel off (very disappointing). The heel lock had to widen up by placing a Powerade bottle overnight due to "blister cut". Lace cover has small tears on the points of flexibility when you accelerate.

Yeh my Vapor 3s have had it after about 4 months. Talarias last year lasted about 2 months greater.

do you guys wear them for games and practice?? cuz id only be using them for games (1-3 a week) and if theyre only gonna last a few months for me thats ridiculous

do you clean your boots after every game? i tend to do this with all my boots and they seem to last quite longer compared to other people's boots.

When i had vapor III's they lasted about 4 months aswell, the SG soleplate came off, and wouldnt be glued back down...so i burnt them haha

i had no problems with vapor II or vapor IV tho...

I've just finished my 2nd season in white/ice mv3's after using them 3-4 times a week on average during the season and 1-2 times a week in summer. Always on real grass as well. The yellow cushion has ripped a bit, the studs are beginning to come off and the carbon insert thing has come unglued but they are still quite playable for another month or two.
I always gave them a wipe down with some water and rags after i used them and they have lasted really well.
