Nike Vapor Review
III- Royal/White, but customized with sharpie/laces to be American Colors
IV- Red/Gold


Aesthetics

III- Well, before customization 7.5/10 has a classy look, the swoosh is very sexy and the heel looks nice.
With customization, the classy look remains but it adds a little American spirit and flash is added to it. 8/10

IV 9/10- BEAUTIFUL SHOES! While playing, it looks great when stroking the ball. The red/gold is a great color combo.

Value:

III- 9/10. The value of the vapor III's is great. A shoe with FANTASTIC traction, great performance, and comfort that synthetic cleats generally don't give. A shoe this lightweight is worth 200. The III can be found for cheaper, and if you have a chance to get them for 150 or less, BUY IT!!

IV - 8/10. 200$ isn't 100% worth it, and though great shoes, with look and performance, a 200$ shoe should be comfier than these are.

Comfort:


III 8.5/10 Very nice indeed. The boot fits like a glove after a while, and fits all width feet. The heel cup is awesome in comfort. Hurts to get stepped on. I got one blister in 9 months. Toes can hurt after a while, especially on turf. Usually though, no problems. Maybe a slight pain or two every 10 wears.

IV- 7/10- Not bad. They are wider than III's and in my opinion fit just as good. The heel lock is horrible. Blisters happen. Not good for turf. Play is usually fine unless you are playing for more than 3 hours

Performance:

III 8.5/10: LOVE IT! The Synthetic is Sick, and conforms, which gives you a true touch, shot and feel for the ball. Traction is great, and getting your feet in and out is easy.

IV 8.5/10: In terms of touch, and shot, the IV is MUCH better. But your foot slides around inside of the shoe, even with a tight fit, and the insole isn't that nice. Also, the heel counter is wierd.

Durability: 10/10 for both. Honestly they are holding up MAAAAD well

Overall, it depends on what you want, but hmm tough choice but id go with the III's.

Could someone please post a review on the f30.8s. I'm thinking of getting them instead of the tunits because I had problems with the first tunits. Thanks

NIke Mercurial Vapor Sl Orange Peel AND Nike mercurial vapor euro 2008 edition

Aesthetics
IV EUro: I absolutely love the colors and this is the num. 1 colorway it is soo classy and the blue on the sole and the white swooches really do look great on the dark upper! 10/10
Orange SL: Well i like the carbonfibre sole soo much is looks so great although i dont really like the orange the carbonfibre makes it look soo nice. 9/10

Value
IV EUro: well i got the boots for a really low price of 85$ and they were almost brand new with no scuffs. 10/10
Orange SL: Brand new with box only cost 105€. I won this extremely good deal in a auction. 10/10

Comfort
IV EUro: At first they hurt a little my ankle but after holding a bottle in the heal the hurting stopped and they broke in fast. Otherwise great comfort and the heal thingy really keeps ur ankle steadily in place so that it doesnt move at all. 8/10
Orange SL: Well omg no break in time nothing felt good the first time i wore them no pain anywhere very comfy and very light . 10/10

Performance
IV EUro: So far so good the thin i have to say is that the lacecover really works my shots are clean and precise . 9/10
Orange SL: Well same goes for the sls plus they are a bit lighter and u can feel it although its only like 20g! 10/10


Durability
At this point i have to say 10 for both and if they get broken ill just send to nike and get some Vs so durability isnt really a prob.

Orange SL 10/10 best boots in the world
IV EUro 9½/10 A great boot LOVE IT

Adidas Adipure

Aesthetics- 10/10
I have the blackout color and it is soo nice! I love all the colors of the adipure. And the original classy look of the boot is brilliant!

Value – 10/10
These boots are really a good deal. I got mine for about $75 from soccerpost labor day sale. But even for the retail price they are still a really good deal compared to other boots which are all about $200.

Comfort – 9/10
I really liked the comfort of the adipures. I didn't have to break them in at all really. They were a pretty nice fit from the start.

Performance – 8/10
These boots are comfortable and everything. But i really don't have a good feel in them around my heel. Its a loose fit and feels like my foot isn't secure in them like my vapor IIIs. That was the only thing wrong with them for me. The touch and everything is great.

Durability – ?/10
I can't really say because i've only had mine for about 2 weeks. They are still in perfect condition as of now. Because i don't play in them in the rain or when its wet.

Overall – 9/10
Overall this boot is really comfortable and soft. The only thing that bothers me is that it feels like my foot isn't secure and tight around the heel. It might just be me. I would recommend it as it is a good price and great k leather.

Mercurial Vapor IV and Mercurial Vapor SL


Aesthetics
IV-The white colorway is by far the best one out and look great as long as you keep them clean 10/10
SL-I would give these a 9 but the carbon fibre soleplate looks amazing when the sun is shining on them 10/10

Value
IV-I got these IVs from Morientsfan for my old F50.8 and $50 dollars so I think that's a great value 10/10
SL-My brother got these for $228 off eBay but then he was desperate for a new phone so I fronted him $90 and he gave me these boots 10/10

Comfort
IV- I hate em just hate em. The heel lock thing just kept giving me terrible blisters OVER and OVER again 6/10
SL-These also started giving me pains at the top of my heel but after wearing them they broke and the heel cup has never given me any problems. The only problem is that they are hard to keep on tight and hard to get off cause the lace cover gets in the way. 9/10

Performance
IV-Not much to say here except that I love how the Tejin synthetic is almost sticky so its alot easier to juggle and hold the ball on my foot 8/10
SL-Same thing except I love the heel cup a lot more. Since it covers more of your heel I feel that it protects better also 9/10

Durability
IV-I only had these boots for about 2 weeks but the only problem I could see is that I hate grass stains and these grass stain VERY easily. Also they get scuffed up very easily and I hate having to clean them after every game 9/10
SL-Same thing as above except the SL sole plate has a little crack in it but it doesn't effect the performance at all 8/10

Overall
IV-Great looking boots but I just cant stand getting blisters. It pisses off me, my coach, and teammates since im always subbing in and out and sitting out at training just to switch my boots. 8/10
SL-AMAZING BEST BOOTS EVER. Nuff said 10/10

Lotto Zhero Leggenda Due - White/Fiery Red

Aesthetics- 10/10
The red and white look so good together and i think its the best colorway lotto have ever released. The tounge bugged me so i cut it off =].

Value – 10/10
For me these boots were a very very good deal. I got them for 60 dollars on ebay and they retail for 180, a very good deal for a top of the line boot.

Comfort – 9/10
The most comfortable boot i have ever worn. It has a little adiprene like insert in the heel which feels good, the leather on this boot is also very nice.

Performance – 9/10
They are very good. I can definitely feel the difference from leather and synthetic after using these only for a month. The leather is such great quality. The twist n go thing is complete bullshit, it dosent hamper or help your game at all. Its just there and most people i ask just think it looks stupid. I think its ridiculous and most of the pro's that wear these use the lower end sole plate because they probably don't like it. The tounge for me was also useless because it wasn't long enough where it would cover the laces to make your hits cleaner but it also wasn't short enough so that it wouldn't constantly pop up. So i solved this by cutting it off. These boots are also extremely light for being k leather cleats. Highly recommend these to forwards who like leather but still want a light boot.

Durability – ?/10
I cant say yet but there is a teeeny bit of seperation at the front of the boot but it still feels solid.

Overall – 9/10
Best boots i have ever had. Only thing that i think is not needed on this boot is the twist n go. So if you can get an earlier version of the leggenda Without it (which go for somewhere in the 100 dollar range) get those.

Can anyone post a review on the Umbro Xai's? For 44 bucks they look like a steal but I'm not sure...

Lotto Zhero Leggenda FG-3G in Black

Aesthetics – 9/10
Clean, simple and classic look for a football boot. Jet black leather might not be every person's choice with all the wild colours out there on boots these days, but to me the solid, classic colours usually do the trick. The only thing that bothers me about these boots is that the tongue is a bit too small. In saying this, the tongue looks great, but doesn't fold over properly (too small) so I had my cobbler stick the tongue down.

Value – 9.5/10
You're not going to get higher quality, all natural kangaroo leather for cheap, same goes for calf leather. I paid around $250 dollars (CND) for these, give or take $10-20 (after tax here folks). At the time it was the second in the top of the line boots for Lotto, behind the Zhero Gravity without the laces. If you ask me, since those are synthetic, these were the true top of the line.

Comfort – 9/10
The most comfortable outdoor boot that I've worn to date, aside from the Pantofola D'Oro Eleganza.The kangaroo leather is top notch and everything regarding this boot has felt great. I ended up changing the insoles on the boots for all natural, supported calf leather insoles. Most boots do not come with all natural leather or supported soles (arch and heel support), so I consider this a must for any boot. The leather insole helps absorb sweat and let your foot breath better and does not give you blisters like synthetic materials - very soft and comfortable for the bottom of your foot.

Performance – 9.5/10
Light, classic, crisp boot with the leather touch. It really can't get much better than this. The blades do well to grip and the boot has a solid touch on it.. not much else to say.

Durability – 9.5/10
I take very good care of these boots, so this obviously helps. The leather has stayed well and there hasn't been any issues in it's durability at all with a lot of aggressive play for a couple of seasons now.

Overall – 9.3/10
Best outdoor boots that I have ever had. Beats any synthetic product and any Nike I've tried of seen. Lotto often 'flies under the radar' and isn't that high profiled, but the quality of boot is worth the money and the opportunity. Until these boots fall apart, I will not be replacing them (although I do think they will last a long while). The price seems steep, but I had them when they were just released. Between Lotto and Pantofola D'Oro, I won't be looking at any other products - the company has earned my loyalty with this product.
