I have instincts but can take them back because they are new..should I stick with them or end up going with the sparks..anything would help
I just returned my instincts and I am glad that I did. The sparks fit me much better and truly feel like a better boot all around. I do not have the heel fit problems like I did with the instincts. I actually bought the same size sparks as instincts and they stretched perfectly. I would rate the sparks up there with my predator manias.

Are the sparks you're wearing with the raised heel (MS) or the original model? I'm just wondering if the MS models will have the same heel slippage problem folks seem to be having with the Instincts.

If your instincts fit you well I would go with the exact same size or at most 1/2 bigger in the sparks. Before I wore mine I did the shower trick - and probably did not need to do it at all.

The sparks I have are the original. After the Instincts I really had no desire to try the MS version.

I believe the power in the sparks to be just the same as the instincts - if not better. The whol raised heel was quite troublesome, plus it just seems like you feel the ball better in the sparks vs. the instincts since the lace cove is not as thick.

I would certainly get the sparks/glove/pearl over the instincts

When I kicked, I still wanted a shoe that had a good touch. I would recommend the sparks. But maybe you should go for a soft ground version - unless you play on turf.

if i wear a 9.5 US in sparks, what should i get in the gloves? 9 or a 9.5 also?
oh and do the gloves form fit really well because i heard that they are a wider fit and i have a more narrow foot...would they still fit tight?

I would get the same size in the gloves as you did in the sparks. Is there a reason you would switch? Do you really play in wet conditions that much more? Since the gloves are wider, they will not be as snug as the sparks. You can always stretch a boot larger/wider, but not make it smaller/narrower.

That color way has been out for a while. You should love those boots. After playing in my sparks 2 games a week for the last 4 weeks I love them. If I could, I would actually by a second pair. I am not sure what you have worn in the past, but the sparks have a great feel, support, and the grip is something you really must see for yourself to believe.

They stretch in terms of moulding to your foot, if that makes any sense. I can confirm they are very tight around your foot after a while, I've had my Gloves for about 13 months before buying my pair of sparks and they are awesome. Just make sure you buy half a size smaller like suggested by Michael.

imo the tongue is fine if you take the laces out of the top eyelets.

Apr 21 2007, 01:46 PM
Well there you go, what are the top eyelets there for? For the laces to go through so why should you have to take the laces from them to get the tongue to do what it's supposed to do and cover the laces.

well if you tie your boots tight enough, it shouldn't matetter if the top eyelets are being used or not. However i do agree the tonge should be made longer.
