Where you play has no relevance to what boots you should wear! Ideally you should try each of them on to see what is most comfortable for you.

based on appearance IMO id go for the pumas or the R10's but they will be bastards to clean!
Jayson
Have u played in the pumas before mate?
Pompeyboy
Yes i have the white ones!
Jayson
Could you give me a quick review of them please bigsmile.gif

no probs! They are excellent boots! The leather is the softest you can get which means they have a great touch and you can really feel the ball in them! they are superlight but at the same time you dont lose protection like you do with vapours and other light boots. I have the FG version and i cannot fault the grip you get (unless the pitch is really boggy). The leather does stretch so bear that in mind when choosing your size! They are neither particularly wide or narrow, however at the tip of the toe they seem to point out a bit. Overall i would definately reccomend them as they extremely comfortable look good in all the colours and fit to your feet after a few games!

9/10 becasue no boot is perfect!

Hope this helps!

Ive got the Nike air legends & F50+'s. Both are very good. I'll give a review, but keep in mind this is based on my experiences only!

Ive got F50+'s in punjab and Air Legends in White/red.

Firstly the Adidas F50+'s. These look nice, although a little too much detail. The leather on em is quite soft, although it feels a bit thin in some areas. The toe area does look very weak, seems like it might give way soon. Cleaning is a bitch, the fabric does become 'ruffled' if using a hard brush. Anyway, initially the boots are very, very snug, my feet were aching after 5 minutes. So i considered selling them, as i thought they were the absolute worst piece of Sh*t boots i had ever encountered. But i didn't, after several days of wearing em in, they felt fantastic!. The boots are perfect, very comfortable, although the heel area seem a bit "short". All in all, these boots are great, very little water absorption, nice touches everywhere, although you do begin to doubt the craftmanship of these, and as a result i tended to shy away from tackles.

The Air Legends. Looks stunning, nice classical approach, great to see from nike. Soft K-leather all around the boot, feels stunning to touch, even better on your feet. The boots feel deceptively heavy, but on your feet they feel pretty light, only a minor difference compared to the F50+'s. Once on my feet, it had a straight-from-the-box fit, which is similar to the pulses, no wearing in required. The touch on the ball again is great, although i again felt that the leather on the toe area was a bit thin. One thing i did not like though, was the fact that these boots are a bit wide on the ankle area. When running/turning etc, there is a gap between your ankles and your boots, so it does feel as if they will slip off. The white does not lose colour as easily as i thought, seems to be a bit more durable this time round. Easy to clean.

Overall, i like my F50+'s better, it offers a nice snug fit, which i like so much, although the crafting leaves alot to be desired. All in all though, i believe you can't go wrong with either boots, they are top-of-the-market boots, so which ever one you choose, it should serve you well.

I would reccomend a half size smaller from what you wear normally!

Id go with the air force blue f50+ or the absolutes. either one is sweet.

Try them all on and it'll probably make the decision for you.

Puma Execs, Nike Legends and F50+s don't fit my feet very well. Pulses fit like a glove so I wear those - I haven't tried Absolutes.
Jayson
ok thnks
Quam
get the F50+

i've got F50+ and tried d nike air legends bt felt bit to chunky when on the ball. nice touch with them though
best way to clean F50+ is to sort of soak d area wit warm water and d mud slides off wit mine. bigsmile.gif

i reckon the pumas or the absolutes
both quality boots

pumas= great touch and great for shaping shots
absolutes= great touch and controlling the ball is brillant also great for shaping shots
(so my friends tell me which have both boots)
Jayson
any more suggestions? smile.gif

Well I do suggest Pumas King Exces. I've tried the f-50+s and find them quite narrow. I've also tried Nike Legends and they have a superb touch, great confort but feels a bit 'chunky' to me. Pumas are great because they stretch and moulds almost perfectly to your foot, giving great touch and comfort. Remember to buy them 1/2 or 1 size smaller.

If I were in your position- I'd get the Absolutes, not only because they are supposed to be great- but because you'll be one of the first people to have them!
Jayson
it doesnt bother me whether there the newest boots out, any more suggestions?
thnks
