*sigh* another order to be cancelled. I'm actually getting sick of cancelling stuff. I was hoping for them for Saturday, no hope of them now. I've thought about my options and they're the only boot that I really want. I love wearing Konstructs since I had my last ones, just because I feel like I can go in for dangerous challenges because of the amazing heel cage, feel hard as when I wear them

Anyone know where to get them before the 27th? I would consider the White/Navy/Red Konstructs but my memories of the field where I would be training and the field I would be playing on doesn't make me feel like wearing flashy boots. I want them damn blackouts

EDIT: Not backing down, I'm not cancelling, I have emailed PDS and emailed Puma themselves, I may think about calling too as this is not on, especially when I could pick up some Absolutes for £35 but instead I spent £90 on a pair of boots that I wont get for just under 4 weeks.

Hey I hope this link works! ha thanks for the help beforehand as well!!

anyone tried Valsport VS90 XTR?

I've never tried any Valsports. At that price range I don't think I could justify choosing them over a competitor with a more proven record. Just because they use k-leather and use the term 'heel counter' any company assumes they can knock out boots at the £100 price point. I'd prefer to see a bit of innovation, or something offered to me more then just the materials. I think Nomis got their entrance into the market spot on by promoting the wet control technology.

well...i was thinking more in the line of durability. the recent years i had puma king, predators, supernovas, legends and they all seems to end up torn apart after a year (splitt sole). i need a boot that can handle traning every day..

What type of surface are you playing on?

Also, by split sole do you mean the upper comes away from the sole (ie at the toe) or that the actual sole plate of the shoe has split?

i play on natural grass, when i play on turf i use other boots. the upper and the sole comes appart. it happend with 3 different pulses, my manias and absolute, King exece, and adidas supernova. probably my style of play tough. tinking of trying out tunits since it would be impossible for the same thing to happen.

Yeah, certainly wouldn't happen with tunits. You could always get the leather version of the F50.7 so as not to have a massive change from your old boots compared to if you were going to choose the plastic versions.

If you can manage to break Puma Kings there is no hope Kings are one of / the most durable boot I know of.

puma kings are amazing i once got a pair and had them for four years amazing boots
just like the umbro speciali.
i prefer them to copas becuase of the leather tounge

New Shinken II's

Not over impressed to be honest, all they seem to have done is put the grip straight onto the boot rather than the wrap over panel. It means the grip stops earlier on the boot rather than right down to the toe with the old ones. Maybe you don't need it though, I suppose I don't really hit it needing swerve with my toe.

On the plus point, the grip panels appear to be a little bit more raised or look different somehow, hopefully that can only improve the grip which is already fantastic.

From looking at the side, the studs look like the same layout, the back ones still have those mud atttracting holes which is a bit annoying, but I guess they're designed that way to provide strength without adding weight.

Will be interesting to see the weight of them, probably a bit lighter I imagine.

Overall not much of a change though, wouldn't be suprised if they were fakes.

tbh i like the old ones better

Yeah the old ones are much nicer, especially this colourway:
[the pic was deleted as spam] It was the White/Gold colourway.

These?

Oh I like them

they look so weird

the shinken 2 reminds me of kelmes lol

Yeah gaz those ones are gorgeous!

I have a question for anyone with V1.06 experience.

I have the synthetic version, and I am finding the boot quite tight around the top of my foot, but I still have a little room at toe end of he boot.

Is this just how the boots are or is it because they are new?

Anyone with any tips on breaking these boots in? It would be appreciated.

^I haven't experience with the v1.06 but i now someone(here at SP) putted tennis balls in the hel to make it wider, maybe you should try that

I'd loosen the laces if haven't done so

Did yours stretch at all? Did you buy your regular size? Or a size up?

my asics lethal ds came in today...wow they're pretty sleak...my ankle is going through the same thing beckhams was so i cant really play hard but the touchs i got were prettty nice...they're pretty light and just feel great...just like a track sprinters shoe but softer leather.

Well the guy said it helped alot, but maybe he lied. I think they will stretch.

what is the sizing like for the v1 k

they run a lil smalll
but if u dont want them to rip i would buy them a 1/2-full size up

amazing!

omg the best boots of all time! lotto zhero gravity italy colors! so freakn amazing i want these soooo bad!!!!

quite old my friend

Yeah but I don't think the soccer.com link was ever posted.

i have lasers but they are starting to come apart, i'm going to try and return them for konstructs does any one know how the two compare in size ,or just what the konstructs are like

Hi! I know some guys have been talking about C.Ronaldo's white ankle sock. spotted some similar reebok socks at http://www.eastbay.com/catalog/productdeta...6159103/size--/
if you want to take a look

anyone here got the reebok sprintfit pros?

Oh my god!! The availability on the Puma Konstruct Blackouts has gone from none to 27th September and now 31st October. I can't f'in believe it!!

Wow that sucks mate. Do you still have them pre-ordered?

Ouch thats gotta hurt. Sorry to hear that mate

Yeah I have them pre-ordered. Will cancel when I can phone but that isn't till Monday as they shut the phones down on the weekend. Shame, really wanted them but I need some soon, the studs on my X Boots are near to non-existent now.

there arent ne v1's this colored right?

there are and they are uglier than your aunt with that massive mole who always wants to kiss u

they run about half a size smaller.

i just got puma v1 k's, they are pretty tight width wise, does anyone know how much they stretch or should i just get a half size larger, the thing i'm worried about going bigger is them stretching too much and being too wide, any help would be much apreciated

As they're the k-leather ones I would think they would stretch a bit after a few games so as long as they're not rediculously tight then it should be a good size.

Ordered some new boots, cancelled my old order. The guy from PDS said that they were told that the release date was 27th Sept and then told 31st October so it is Puma's fault. Can't wait until my new boots arrive, my old ones are knackred.

I have the absurdly priced Reebok SprintFits. I'll be posting a review in a couple weeks. I would have gotten it out earlier but I had a tryout with an indoor team and I picked up an injury. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

There was a guy in my match yesterday wearing those. I thought they were fake.

LOL i thought it was pretty funny that you got it wrong, the white bit is the statue and the red is the KNEE SOCK.

What kind did you order mate?

My secret will post pics when the arrive

Fair enough, I'm gonna guess an Umbro boot?

Nope, not this time. I'd buy some X Boots again but the Michelin stuff started to wear out after time.
