Hi, got some info:

The Glove and Spark are thinner than boot uppers made from bovine due to the fact that K-Leather is much stronger than bovine. There is a minimum thickness required.

Moisture control is handled by the water vapour absorption characteristics imparted by the leather. The Glove and the Spark both have very low water absorption.

I can't give any heat info as this really is effected by the complete set of elements of the shoe. Best to get some feedback of players who wear the boots on this one.

Thanks
Michael

hey just got my nomis black gloves i am very happy with them and i will post pics later. just realised that when you put the nomis sign on its side it makes an 's' and nomis backwards is 'simon' i'm guessing this is delibrate?

One can only speculate on that!!

Micheal, what measures are in place on the inside of the boots with regard to water absorbsion. Sweat and water leaking into the sides (if you step into a puddle for example) is quite a factor and it would be interesting to know what measures Nomis have to stop water absortion into the boots from the inside. Some figures on this may also be interesting.
Cheers.

well just from looking at my gloves it looks like the only part that will absorb water is the innersole.

wow u just noticed? yeh i think its delibrate, but its still cool. im gonna get a pair of gloves (as recommended by Mike ) after i get enough money to pay off for a new iPod since mine was stolen

might as well post my wet control black gloves:

omg, i wanna buy a pair really badly now

Sexy beasts...

those are hot as helllllllllllllllllllll hey, Hello Nomis, you know if those black-out Gloves are gonna be headin to soccer.com anytime soon? or anyone know where to get a pair for cheap?

Michael how can you comment on the calf leather on the black pearl? how is the quality softness etc..im sure it is a great product but just curious about your calfskin.

Let me know what sort of info you want and I will ask the right people... I know that they have a strict quality control program to ensure only the finest materials make it onto the boots. Again, probably better if there is somebody here who has a pair to give their personal feedback of what they think.

CubasGreatest - I'll check to see what models are heading to soccer.com. I'm not sure if the black/black gloves are though. Also, you might struggle to find "cheap" retailers of Nomis boots.

spursboy - nice purchase, although I don't think your photo does them justice! Post up a review once you have had a wear.

Thanks
Michael

people i csn see how good the glove and spark are, would prefer tha sparks, but im on a budget, has any1 bought he magnet? have any pics or reviews on it? thanks

is the US online store up and running? I'm interested in the Control Freaks program but haven't seen where i could buy them online in the US through Nomis. dropped you a PM Michael, if i can get the Sparks in silver/black (or maybe the silver/dark silver) i'm in

you also may want to check the links for the "Buy Now" links on the individual products pages on nomisfootball.com, they all seem to lead to a page that's having a few issues

yeah im waiting for the page to be up and running also

and sorry if this question has been asked already, but what shoe is that on nomisfootball.com . it has the same style has an Adidas F50+, with a tongue over the laces

After being extremely impressed with The Glove FG boots in the first two weeks that I've had them, I was heartbroken to find that the upper has begin to separate from the outsole on the instep of the left shoe. Has anyone else had this problem with their boots, or am I just the unlucky one. Two weeks seems rather quick for separation to begin.

Take some photos and email them to customerservice@nomissports.com - they'll have a look at them. (And let them know where you bought them from too - I'd also contact them too).

Just buy them through the UK or AU shop as the stock will be sent from Australia anyway. If you let me know your size I can find out what stock is left in the other Spark models(I PM'd you back I think). I'll check out those pages with the dud links - sure I fixed them all. Grr.


That would be the Instinct & Flare models - there is info on the site about the boots.

Thanks
Michael

I didn't get a PM from you on here Michael, i did send you a PM on BootNR as well but i'm at home and can't manage to log in from here, have to check from work in the morning My older Nike cleats (navy Ronaldos from a few seasons back) are 9.5 US and my adidas Top Sala flats are 9 US so i'm thinking a 9 US in the Sparks and an 8.5 US in the Gloves? I'd love the Sparks in silver/black (or maybe the silver/dark silver) and the black/gold in the Glove is fine. So I just sign up for the Control Freaks and then use the code when I buy for the AU store? just need to make sure i get the sizing conversion right

The bad links are on the individual products pages for the older model boots, like on the Glove page under each of the shoes colors on the left there's a plus icon and a Buy Now link. Each of those links under each boot color goes to the same page.

Appreciate all the help, thanks.

Hi,

Ok, had a chat to the warehouse and you could be very lucky. They have one pair of the Spark Dark Silver/Black left. (We'd recommend you go for 8.5 US in both the Spark and the Glove).

All you need to do is send me your email address and I will email you back a special link that allows you to buy the package.

Thanks
Michael

Sounds great, thanks Michael, just PMed you.

I have been looking at purchasing the nomis magnet seem as i can get it for £37.50 i had two or three questions. 1. Is this a good price for the boot in adult sizes? 2. I am a 7 in the adidas predator absolute and adidas world cup. What size would you recommend for me, i like to have a bit of room for growth. 3. Havent heard any reviews of these boots so was curious to the quality and peoples opinions. Cheers

Whats the best way to clean nomis boots warm water and a brush?

I have sparks by the way.

this is from the nomis leaflets i have at home

Important Care instructions
Do not use tape on any part of the boots as it may damage the surface
Wash in cold water with a cloth
Do not use detergents or an abrasive brush
Do not dry in front of a heat source.


Hope it helps GINOLA14

just read about the nomud technology and think its an amazing concept---does anyone have boots with these and does it work as good as they say?

Thanks for the help one more question though

Are the spare laces the same size or smaller?

I ask this because I find the laces in the boots to long.

where can u get the magnets for £38

the laces are shorter from what i know. I work in a sports shop we sell them for £49.99 and i get 25% off so they are £37.50

thanks tarsey - undecided what to get hmmm can get magnet for £45 or sparks for £70 shame no where in east lancs sell them

yer preferably i would like the sparks or magnet in fg but all my boss got in was the magnets in sg, so im goin to have to settle for them

Yes that is a good price! Would recommend the same size - size 7 (just try them on). You want to buy the right size initially as there won't really be any stretch in the leather. The quality is still good, the draw backs from the more expensive models really are the touch, feel and comfort won't be quite as good. The reviews have been good for the magnet (to be honest we have not received a bad review yet), but we've only had a couple on the magnet so far.

Cold water and a soft cloth and allow them to dry naturally (they should dry very quickly as low water absorption). There will soon be booster cloths you can buy to clean them with too which also boosts the grip.

I'm working on some photos of mud vs nomud boots. Just waiting for the drought to end in Brisbane so I can do a 90 minute game on a wet pitch. Somebody in the UK sent us these pics of theirs and their friends boots after the same game (He was trialling the tecnology and the technology was further improved before launch)...



Yes the second pair is shorter, although someone on this forum posted that they were still too long. I told Simon, he told the factory, measured them and will be supplying shorter laces on the new boot run.

Personal recommendation. If you can get the Sparks for £70 - you have to get them - that is a bargain!

Thanks
Michael

you've got to be kidding! that's great stuff

just out of interest, what nomis boot would people recommend for me, i have a budget of around 70-80 sterling pounds, i play central defensive midfield, play in yellow and green and would like a fg boot to replace my dissapointing absolutes. I only want the boot not a site because i work in a sport shop so i can get my boss to order them in and then get 25% of what he puts the price at

get the yellow sparks! dont know if they will be in your price range, but with the discount they could be!

what is the rrp of the sparks, what could i also do to convince my rents to let me buy them?

rrp of the sparks is 210 USD

Hey anyone from north america order anything from nomissports and get hit with some insanely insane charges from the Courier?
its almost 50% of what I paid in total ;\

Import tax I would assume. Let me see if I can send you something... as 50% sounds a bit harsh.

I don't mean to ask for trade secrets but is this nomud just a complex way of infusing the studs and soleplate with teflon-like material? I can't get over the comparison pics, that's truly innovative and something new that I don't think anyone has thought of. great stuff

Coolio thnx.
the fee was actually 45.3%
$111.97

You know what, I don't mind too much cuz it still kinda worth it, I got some pretty top notch boots.

But damn you pbb tnt couriers hyper inflating import tax like that. I've ordered stuff from all over, oz included, at around the same price and never had to pay that much.

But i prolly wont have to buy another pair of boots in a while so its all good i guess.
And i'm not gonn pay them until thier site faq actually works

and if you do send somthing to me, regular post is fine, if not prefered thnx
(short laces for my gloves yay?!?!)

The Nomis Instinct is friekin hot... oooooo la, la

anyone have this ? any good opinions?

i want a pair.. but i doubt i'll get them... if i do get another pair, it'll be the gloves.

i ordered from nomissports and i didn't have to pay shipping...

My Sparks and Gloves are on their way, thanks for the help Michael. Anyone have a ballpark of how long it took to get from Oz to the states?

They are leaving Australia today (I've checked for you), and it usually takes 3 - 4 days to arrive on your doorstep.

oustanding, thanks Michael. I've got a tryout on Saturday, we'll see if they get here in time...

Click to view attachmentClick to view attachmenthopefully will have these gloves in a few days

nice man. only thing that keeps me from buying Nomis is that most of them arent close to me in stores.

same here mate, buy online, not sure about the colour tho, prefer gold/white/black combo

Question for the Nomis media rep..

Just wondering what are the best boots down in the AFL? I'm going to get a new pair of boots and they're definitely going to be Nomis. I need them to suit both Gaelic Football and football.

So is there any preference 'down under'?

Sorry, missed this one earlier. I'm afraid this one is a bit like the ingredients of coca-cola... Even I don't know how it works.

Tricky one this really as the pros who choose to wear the boots are split 50/50 between the Glove and the Spark (plus there are a couple who wear the Black Pearl). The Instinct & Flare are new and worn by a couple too. I would probably say the Glove, as that has got the best "feel" on the ball. However, in Ireland you might benefit from the "nomud" technology so the Instinct or Flare might be the way to go.

Thanks
Michael

Cheers Michael.

Another question, where is the cheapest/best place to buy from online due to nowhere really dealing in them locally here in Ireland?

yeah not to mention the sizing problem. we have a pretty good idea about the color combo and how they look.
