hello everybody!
this is my first post in this forum but i usually read in the boots' topics!

yesterday night, in Lazio-Milan, Ledesma got a new colourway of Lotto Zhero Gravity.
Looks like white/navy.
The photo is not so good, but that's the only i've found.

HERE

have you ever seen them?

nice! but a blackout colourway would be phenomonal.

are lotto leggendas any good?


i think they are really relly good...

if you like k-leather boots...
if you prefer synthetic....zhero evolution!



here is a clearest picture of Inter's Julio Cruz wearing new Zhero Gravitys...
CRUZ

Hotspur, Cafu, against Lazio was wearing a "homemade" blackout Zhero Gravity, but during the game the boots were losing color....
BLACKOUT GRAVITYS

those Puma v1 Italys are horrible IMO...very bad colour of gold.

They aren't they are miles nicer in person, as kippax street said, I have them in turf and you get compliments from everyone. Just yesterday a ref which I had told to "f*ck off" and I questioned why he was gettin payed for being a bad ref* said that they were nice biggrin.gif

*to put it politely tongue.gif

Ps. look in reviews database pg 14 for my pics and review.
skizzo_85
i think that boots' aestethics is a personal opinion....
spritepac
didnt know where else to put this but i want lotto zheros gravity (no lace boots) and i was wondering how the sizing works. I am a 9.5US and should i get a 9.5US size or a smaller one so it fights EXTREMELY tight(i like VERY tight boots donno why some people dont care...) im worried ill spend so much money and not get the right size..
skizzo_85
i think that the best way to solve your problem is going to a store and trying them.

Then, you'll buy on internet! biggrin.gif

ah but no store around me has them...
skizzo_85
i'll try to help you....

i know italian sizes....

adidas predator pulse: 44 2/3
nike tiempo legend: 44 1/2
nike AZT III: 45(they are a little more large to me, but i use two pair of socks)
adidas F50+: 44 2/3

LOTTO ZHERO GRAVITY: 45


i tried them in my friend's store and i think that 45 was the right size for me.
i think they are more tight then classic boots with shoelaces....

**URGENT** I need to buy new boots before Friday and the only pair that I can find anywhere that I like are the new Puma Konstrukt II's. I wear a 10 in Nike's and a 10 in Adidas but a 9.5 in my Lotto Leggenda's. Please anyone who has had these or a lot of Puma's tell me what size I should order. blink.gif

afternoon everyone. i need some help with the v1.06 ..... i wear a 9.5 US in vapors and they fit absolutely perfectly. I have wider feet than average because of my asian heritage...or so i think. What size v1.06 should i order?
Midfielder 11
How do the K leather Puma v1.06s compare to the regular v1s in terms of durability because i have heard that they tend to rip quickly..plus what about sizes? i wear a 11 in Vapor IIIs

jordyc did a review for you in the reviews section!!!

Anybody else notice that Puma makes really good low end boots? I saw some people talking about Esitos in "Your Boots" thread and I bought some Puma v5, they just make excellent low end boots.
skizzo_85
i don't like low end boots at all....

That doesn't have anything to do with Puma making good "low end" boots.
Juventus_supporter
Yes it does, its goes like this, Puma makes low end boots--->skizzo_85 doesn't like low end boots at all--->So he doesn't like puma's low end boots either. I never tried any low end boots but i couldn't imagine them being too good.

Him not liking low end boots doesn't have anything to do with Puma making good low end boots besides the fact that he was talking about low end boots. He didn't even discuss what I was saying, and I'm not saying you did something wrong skizzo, he only said he didn't like low end boots. If you think about, which I know may be stretching it for you, him saying he doesn't like low end boots really has nothing to do with what I said.

EDIT: Here is a better way to put it. His statement wasn't very relevant to what I was talking about.
skizzo_85
ok, i'll try to explain.

i usually got high end boots(my collection is made by 2 predator Pulse, AZT III and Tiempo Legend), but i also tried some intermediate(F30+, Mercurial talaria III, Tiempo Mystic) and i tried also low end boots(Pace vapor II, Adidas Pulsado, Adidas manado, Nike Total 90 III, Lotto Vertigo(it's the low end of Lotto Sheva) and Puma V Kon).

i haven't bought all this boots, but i tried them in training, exchanging them with my friend for one training session.

i'm not satisfied by a single low end boot i've tried.
in intermediate boots there is something good, like Tiempo Mystic, really similar to a legend.
i feel good only with high end boots.


and when i tried my mate's Puma V Kon navy/gold, they didn't impress me more than Lotto Vertigo.
arsenax
Every1 has their own opinion, but man oh man...some of you guys are really affected by the Media.

Just because a low end boot doesn't feel right for you, it doesn't necessarily mean that the boot is bad because it is low end...it is because it may be the wrong boot for you.

I've had the Vapor II, AZT 90 III, Predator Absolute, Predator Pulse, F50+, etc

You know what the best boots I have ever felt?

The Puma Esito, Puma V5 and then the Adidas F30.6.

I was wearing the Esito today and they felt amazing and fantassstically light and thin.
skizzo_85
i believe in what you say, and i tell you that i prefer classic and comfortable boots.

when i was younger i've always had low or intermediate boots like Manado, a pair of Lottos which i don't remember the name, Pace Vapor, Pulsado, 50euros Diadora etc...

but in my opinion, wearing a Pulsado or a Predator Pulse it's completely different.
i love K-leather and also the comfort changes(and naturally the aesthetic of the boot is better!).
it doesn't mean that to play soccer you have to spend 200 euros, because you can find High end boots also at 50 euros if they are old.

i paid my Black/white/red pulses 50 euros.
and my(now broken and trashed) Aveiro II 34 euros.
Vi-
I agree, you can find high end boots that are abit old for great prices. I got the Orange Blaze MVII's for £38.
skizzo_85
the one you got in your avatar, i think!

really nice!

these are my boots and their price:

Adidas Predator Pulse FG black/white/red (June 06) 49 euros
Adidas Predator Pulse XTRX SG metallic blue (january 06) 79 euros
Adidas Aveiro II FG (July 06) 34 euros(now they're broken)
Nike AZT III White/chrome/yellow SG (november 06) 49 euros
Nike Tiempo Legend White/sport red(the new edition) FG (january 07) 89 euros

does anyone know when the new colours for the lotto zhero gravities will come out?

Hopefully some of you guys in the Puma Boot Room can help me out with a question.

Right now, I only have my RbK Pro Rage FGs and I'm in desperate need of indoor/turf boots. After looking carefully around online, I thought it'd be best to go with either the Puma v3.06 TT or the Puma v1.06 Trainer.

Honestly, I can't make up my mind. I'm leaning towards the v3.06 because it's cheaper, but the sole of the v1.06 looks like the kind of traction I'm looking for in an indoor boot. My question is, is the v1.06 worth the extra $25 (USD)?

If it helps at all, I primarily play left wing. While I'm looking for good touch and control on the ball, I'm by no means a magician on the pitch. Comfort, Lightweight, Speed, and Traction are the characteristics I'm really looking for in a boot. Any help/warnings/suggestions will be much appreciated.

T-Stock stay away for v1.06 they break too easily.
very bad durability, you'll just waste your money

@T-Stock: choose V1.06 trainers.

@King Henry: some players like Julio Cruz and Ledesma are wearing now the new Zhero Gravity White/blue. but i don't know when they'll be in stores.

Hi all. I have two questions I was hoping people on this board could answer:

1) I know some people here own the Lotto Zhero Gravity. Could you help me with the sizing? I wear 9.5 US in Puma v-Konstrukt, Puma v1.06 and Adidas +F50.6 Tunits. What size Lotto Zhero Gravity should I buy?

2) I am looking to buy a pair of boots that are made in Italy. Preferrably a pair of Lottos or Diadoras. Does anyone know which models are actually made in Italy? So far I only know of Lotto Zhero Gravity and Nike Mercurial Vapor III.

Thanks.
h o t s p u r

and Nike Mercurial Vapor III.

apparently they are made in the far east and only a tiny bit of has been made in Italy But they can still say 'made in Italy'
skizzo_85
i know that Nike Vapors are made in Montebelluna, near Venice...
Lotto Zhero Gravities(but not all Lottos!!!!) are made in Italy.
Umbro Speciali are made in italy.
Diadora Maximus(but not all Diadoras!!!) are made in Italy, handmade!

Thanks skizzo, I didn't know Diadora Maximus was handmade in Italy, now I will have to pick up a pair for sure! How about A-Line? Are most A-Line boots handmade in Italy as well? Where in Italy do you live?
skizzo_85
I don't know anything about A-line.
In Italy it's an unexisting brand.

Look at my profile, under the avatar, i live in Alessandria, between Turin and Milan.
Juventus_supporter
Just because a boot is hand-made doesn't mean its magical!!!
skizzo_85
no, you're right JS.

but i cann tell you that Diadora Maximus is a great boot...

also A-lines are handmade in italy and are quality made valsport are made in italy d'oras are also

i just ordered a pair of puma boca TT's not Kleather but i got them for $33..

Ayresome
I'm sorry to ask here, but noone ever visits the "looking to buy" section.

Does anyone know where I can get ahold of some Puma King SL TFs? 7UK / 8US. Any colour, any price.
skizzo_85
Puma King SL TF???

i don't know, not easy to find.......
Ayresome
Yeah I used to have some, they're very nice boots. I think the proper name for them is "Puma King SL TT"
skizzo_85
TF doesn't indicate a turf boot?
