PREDATOR MANIAS

Aesthetics 10/10: No surprise here, these boots are simply to die for! not one bad colour combination and still extremely popular and demanded.

Value 9/10: Paid $180 aussie dollars for them and i thought it was $180 extremely well spent until i grew out of them in 3 months! (im not too happy right now ) but i thought it was really good value. but now im looking to sell them.

Comfort 9/10: These are my second pair of manias.....reason being because of mainly comfort! my first pair were really comfy the whole year until the sole wore down to hard plastic . the leather is really nice moulds to your foot in no time at all.

Performance 10/10: Performance is always down to the way the feel on your feet (aka comfort!) but if i must say something about performance it would be the curling aid because these preds grooves did in fact work! oh and the ball hit the intended target most of the time

Durability 7.5/10: I didnt think the sole should have worn down as quickly as it did but the leather held up great.

Overall 9/10: just a great football boot and it will always be a all time great and admired by generations to come. The comfort does it for this boot

What: Nomis Glove
Notes: Only first time impressions
Previous Boot: Predator Mania

Aesthetics – 9/10
These boots look mean! None of those funky colours or frilly pretty lines and patterns. Plain black K-Leather surface looks like a serious piece of gear.

Value – 8/10
Priced similar as the top of the range predator and the nike mercurial vapors, I decided to get the Nomis because I have been a fan of the Predator line (owned two previous models before) and wanted to have something that is a little unique from the crowd.
For what you pay for, you get the Boots, a see thru carry bag, extra laces, extra insoles and a leather keychain.

I judge value of boots based on three criteria: Comfort, Performance and Durability... and the boot has be profile some feeling of safety as well.

Comfort – 9.5/10
Performed the 'Hot Water Shower' trick before a ball was ever kicked. Initially I bought a half size smaller than my usual fitting and the boot as tight when put on initially... almost too tight. Then i loosened up the laces and they became quite snug. Wore thick socks in the boot when i did the shower trick, and wahlah - it litreally fits 'like a Glove'. On the actual playing field I was very satisfied with the heel support and of course, the K-Leather garantees uber comfort. There was minimal movement or lifting within the boot when it came to fitment, Lovely.

Performance – 8/10
The construction of the boot itself is suitable for players like me with wider feet, which also means that the kicking area on the top of the boots is much wider. Offset lacing with tounge-strap cover means a cleaner kicking surface as well. I'm he playmaker of my team was happy with my little passes and chips around the pitch that mostly went where they wanted to. Unfortunately, I did not get to do any shots on goal the on the day. But there is confidence in swinging the ball all over midfield. The boots themselves are definately not heavy. They are not Vapors or v1.06's, but definately nimble enough. Heavier distribution of the weight is on the studs and heel area. A nice touch and feel to the ball - i could 'feel' the ball more than with my predator manias, probably because of the thinner K-Leather surface. So deserved high marks here.
Can't yet comment on wet weather performance.


Durability – ???
Was only my first time on Sunday with the Nomis, so obviously I cant give a score here. But just for the record, they still look new after a full game.

Overall – 8/10
Overall I am very with my Nomis Gloves and cant wait to get to know her better. Amazing comfort and predictable performance with the ball. What more can one ask for?

Hey guys i finally got in touch with my friend who has the Shinkens, and asked him some questions, so i guess this can be a mini-review

Q: What is the difference between the models?
A: For the high-end model it is the Wave Shinken, and it is also called Wave Blade. The lower end one is called Wave Incision.

Q: How are the studs?
A: The studs are actually called MD, and it is similar to FG. When i played on long grass, i expected to slip as i saw many people switching to SG cleats during warmup. However, the traction was excellent for the Shinkens! They really aid your acceleration and turning, no slipping at all.

Q: How do they feel?
A: The material feels very good, there is carbon sole plate that reduces stud pressure, so it feels great. The Wave technology that stabilizes impact, is similar to Nike's Zoom Air. No real difference.

Q: How is the weight?
A: Compared to Legends, they felt lighter. They do not feel cumbersome.

Q: What about performance?
A: The webbing is very interesting. Simmilar to the Predator Vamps, but they are even more specific rather than just two or three lines. The entire shooting area is covered with it. If you touch it it feels a little rough, little sticky. While people would debate if Vamps really work, even a child would know that the "Bio panel webs" make a big difference. The webs severly decrease traction, causing a lot of spin. I need to test more on this.

Q: How is the fit?
A: It is a little wider at the top. Those who complain Vapors are too narrow should fit with this.

Q: Anything else?
A: Durability is OK, but they are not tested enough. They seem well made. The k-leather wraps to your foot nicely. Biggest happiness is that they are fairly light, and very cool (esp in hot weather). The protection seems good, as Shevchenko has chosen to wear them over Lotto. The webs do work, sometimes maybe TOO well, you need to get a feel for it yourself.

Steams: White/Ginger

Looks 8/10: Nice like the design look like vapours. Also its like the nike tuned air /tn series at the moment with the dots. Even though the are the pace vapour version they look much nicer and are well worth your money. Looks more sleeky they the earlier cheaper versions of vapour series.

Value: 8/10 Good value at 34.99 at sports soccer. Shame i didnt go jjb first as they have platnium/ red at 40 pound also a steal. Hopefully will last abit.

Stability: 7/10 (Due to playing on hg and these are fg) Turns are ok and these seem light compared to the my pace vapours which they are a updated version can see why they are dearer in a cheap version of the vapour series. They are ok to shoot with unless you like power. I seem to not to be able to hit a shot as hard as in my tiempos but they are built for power. Steams built for speed realisticly.
Maybe will be better when ive lost a stone as ive put wieght on and also playing on a softer pitch may help. lol

Conditicioning: 8/10 Due to being white i know they would pick up grass stains and need to nail polish remover them. Apart from that they have few creases in and that all. No major scratches or anything.

Overall: 7.5/10 Good enrty level boot for everyone but if you like power go for tiempos jjb sell them 10 cheaper and they are made for power. If you are just a raw pacy player these are your cheap training ground option. Also if lazy, the blue which is the royal blue. Get those as wont have to clean them and wont see grass stains

Black/Red Absolutes Sg

Looks : 9/10 - Nice plain colour. Solid but not too plain.

Value: 5/10 At £129.99 They are too pricey and they aren't very good for wide feet, if you have narrow feet fine, but these are quiet thin before you wear them in, after they are very comfy

Stabillity 10/10 - After playing with these alot, theyre are no signs of wear or tear.

Conditioning - 9/10 - Stays same colour. Nuff said.

Overall 9/10 - Solid all round boot. too pricey but good.

NIKE LEGEND SG (BLUE AND WHITE)

Aesthetics 10/10 These boots look really clean cut and there is nothing to fancy on the boot witch i think makes the boot look even better, the color way is also the best in the legend series

Value 10/10 I cant fault these boots on value either £60 witch i think is a steal saying how much you would pay for vapours and preds.

Comfort 10/10 Comfort being the main aspect of this boot means you no it will score high.

Performance 9/10 I've only worn them to training so i don't really no how well they perform but the touch and comfort of these boots is amazing, and all these people who say you lose speed because they are heavy don't no what they are talking about u defiantly do not lose speed

Durability 8/10 Only worn them once and because they are white dose mean they are some scuffs but other than that they are fyn

Overall 9/10 A very nice boot and every one should include them in there collection

Nike R10 Air Legend FG

Aesthetics 9.5/10 -
These boots are simple and beautiful. made perfectly and since gold is my favorite color, and i love boots in white, these just made my day.

Value 10/10 -
These cleats are only $125 and are top of the line, other cleats, which arent even as good, can cost upwards of $200. These cleats are great pricewise.

Comfort 10/10 -
I got these barely used from a friend, already broken in and have been using leather conditioner on them, which in turn softens them which makes the legends even more comfortable. the more wear you give them the better they will mold. they fit me perfectly, but i like to double sock just so its a little snug. i love it

Performance 10/10
no matter what you are doing with the ball, you will always know you still have it, the kangaroo leather soaks it up and you get an amazing touch. personally i like the symetrical lacing even though other people dont prefer it. they never get heavy on your and you never slip out. the insole is rather grippy, which is uncomfortable at first, butyour foot will never move inside the boot, making certain maneuvers easier. people say these cleats are heavy and first off, i know it is my opinon but they are not, and secondly even if they are an ounce or two heavier then other cleats, i dont think you should notice anyways. pred abs are 12 oz. and legends are 11.2

Durability 9/10
ive had these for a few months now and have worn them probably 1.5 hours a day 5 days a week. the k-leather is very durable and is only starting to pull up in a couple areas. the only other sign of wear is fading leather in the toe area, but that happens with every cleat.

overall 10/10
get these cleats! bundles cheaper then other top of the line nikes and such. they look beautiful, feel even better, and perform flawlessly. depending on how much and how hard your play, these will last you a long time if you take care of them. i myself am looking forward to the new all gold R10's

p.s. when i cleaned my cleats, i used windex because thats all i could find, and it seemed to work magic by softening up the leather a good amount! hope this helps!

Adidas Predator Absolute SG Black/Red/White:

Aesthetics – 9/10

Predators have never been the flashiest, best-looking boots in my eyes, but they’re still a nice boot. In my opinion, there is too much ‘going on’ with the Black/Red/White Preds, mainly because of the white. I’ve blacked them out now and they look a lot better.

Value – 10/10

Got these boots off eBay for 70 quid! Real bargain, was so impressed when they came I couldn’t believe my luck. Have been wearing them 2/3+ times a week since Christmas time now and haven’t let me down once. I haven’t played a rubbish ball and looked down at my boots in disgust like I have with others. I would have paid 120 quid for these and still given them 10/10 for value.

Comfort – 10/10

The comfort in these boots is unbelievable. I can put them on, walk to footy in them, play footy in them, walk home in them, and not think at any point ‘oh god I need to get these off’. Comfort is important to most people, the same applies for me. People go on about how they choose a boot because its light, therefore helping them to run faster, but in my opinion, if a boot isn’t comfy, you’re going to have more trouble running in it, than if it was heavy. The preds are perfect for running in. My boots before these were MVII so obviously I felt a lot more protected in the preds.

Performance – 10/10

Top quality. I could leave it at that or go on about them, but basically top quality sums up the boots. They’re good to run in, passes are accurate and touch is outstanding. Free kicks and shots can be curved tremendously with such power. The ball literally flies off your foot. The PowerPulse insole does make you feel stronger on the ball, and when you first start playing with the light one after using the PowerPulse, the boots do feel lighter. Personally I prefer the PowerPulse.

Durability – 9/10

The boots hold up well, considering I went through a stage of not bothering to clean them. The reason they get a 9 is because of the front of the boot. It separates and you tend to get stray bits of grass stuck in it. The separation is not massive, and is easily solved by using strong glue, reapplying every few weeks or so. When playing in severe rain, no water gets inside the boot, if the laces are tied properly of course.

Overall – 9.6/10

Fantastic boots, easily the best I have ever owned. Considering buying a different colourway as an upgrade. I like the CL Preds but fear the white leather would soon become ‘stained’. Black all the way!

Nike Mercurial Vapor III - Sport Red/ White




Aesthetics 10/10

They Look absolutely superb. Love the Sport Red colour and the is a great contrast. I love the style of the new vapors, the fade of the heel colour into the main colour is awesome. My fave colour vapors yet.

Value 8/10

Well, I got these for free as my original MVIII's (White/Ginger) broke. But for 120 pounds I think they are a bit expensive. But if you've got the money i'd say they are well worth it. The white/ginger ones were the first pair of vapors I brought for full retail price, but after loving MV I's and II's so much I knew it was a wise decision, upon on breaking them in and getting some good wear out of them in the 6 months i had them, i knew I would stick with vapors when i exchanged the faulty goods.

Comfort 8/10

After the initial 2 week breaking in period, full of blisters and slight discomfort on the soles of my feet, these boots moulded perfectly to my feet. They were just perfect. Feel like wearing slippers on my feet, which is why i love vapors so much.

Performance 9/10

Well my original vapors only lasted 6 months, so lets hope that was a one off. They did the job though, touch on the ball is great as its such a snug fit. Striking the ball is also good as the boot has a true fit, so puts the ball where you want it to go.

Durability 7/10

See above. To be honest I was really disappointed when my boots broke, as i'd broken them in and was having no problems with them. The best boots i'd ever had. Thats why I stuck with these new ones. Lets hope for at least a season out of these.

Overall 9/10 - Really love these boots. Perfect fit, look great and perform really well. Only worry I have is if they will break again, though I trust Nike enough so it shouldnt happen again.

MY PUMA V1 K (Black/Black) (Red Laces)

Aesthetics: 9.5/10. These are great looking boots even though they may bland I actually Reaally like the color better than the Silver/Blue And Plus K Leather

Value 9/10. They Are kangaroo leather soo they should be worth something,soo but 150$ is a lot better than Absolutes which are 200$. But i get 10% at my local soccer shop so preety good

Comfort 10/10 I mean You cant get any better than Kangaroo Leather in my book, But great touch and feel I havent played in them but just broken them in and feel Awesome I have tried on Regular V1 and The V1 k are a lot more comfy then the regular V1 but it weighs an ounce more that regular V1

Performance ~/10. I dont know because i have jus broken them in but i heard a lot better than regular V1 because the regular V1 rip around 5 games Ive heard out of Reviews

Durability ~/10. Once again i dont know but K Leather So i Expect A lot out of them

Overall 9.7/10. I like the colour and the K leather and Comfort is greats so I Would Highly reccomned These

Adidas 7406 FG (Black/White)

Aesthetics- 9/10
No, they are not for you people who are suckers for anything shiny, but they are just classic style boots. The black/white with the white foldover tongue is a great look. Very "old school" feel, with the stitching in the toe area. The gold stitching on the tongue is a cool little accent as well.

Value- 8/10
Retailing at about $110, these are a good boot for the price. I tried on the Adidas Absolute and chose these over them, partially because of the price. A good boot for the price. You get everything you need in these, and they also come with Adidas Leather Balsalm to keep the leather in top condition. If your not looking to spend $200 on boots, this is a good option.

Comfort- 9/10
These are some VERY comfortable boots. No stud pressure at all, and never at any point of wearing these did i think, "Ow, me feet hurt. Stupid boots." Similar to the Copas in comfort. The leather moulds VERY well to the shape of your foot.

Performance- 9/10
These boots did me well in matches and practices. The leather is just as soft as any k leather out there. I know there are a lot of people who think, oh calf leather..probably not too great. Well they're wrong. Everyone thinks calf leather isn't soft but the 7406 is a great non k leather boot.There's basically no breaking in time with these at all. You get great feel of the ball in these, and the TRX studs grip pretty well on every surface.

Durability- 9/10
The leather showed no signs of wear at all after 5 months of use, which was fantastic. The studs were holding up well too. Mine happend to be faulty, and the glue came loose so I had to return them, but again that is not normal wear.

Overall-8.8/10
Highly suggested to anyone wanting a not-so-flashy, but very comfortable and overall good, solid boot. Again they are a lot cheaper than a lot of high end products, but i would rate them higher than the current predators.

Nike Air Zoom Total 90 K FG (Black/White)

Aesthetics- 9/10
Like my 7406, this colorway makes them have a pretty classic feel. They are awesome looking boots though. Probably one of my favorite boots looks wise that have ever been on the market. I know you probably think I'm kinda boring because the 2 boots I've reviewed have been black/white, but hey what can i say its a good color combo

Value- 100000/10
Yes, I did get these on Ebay..for $60!!! yeah so thats why they get the high rating. If i bought them at the retail price ($180 ish) i would still give them a strong 9/10 for sure. Theyre awesome boots what can I say. The leather and everything together make for 1 fantastic boot.

Comfort 10/10
Right when I didn't think it was possible after wearing my 7406, i found a more comfortable boot! While these do take a week or so to break in properly, but once they are broken in, nothing beats them. The leather moulds really well, and everything about these is great comfort wise.

Performance 10/10
WOW..everyrthing combined, again..just fantastic. The leather gives great touch (yes, for us keepers too), and the blades give great traction. Better than the Adidas TRX system IMO. They have a nice snug fit and are just great. Nothing else to say really.

Durability 9/10
They're holding up very well. I've had them for around 4 months i believe, and I wear them on and off for trainings and games, and theres no signs of wear so far, which is GREAT, because I dont want these to die on me!!

Overall 9.6/10
Great boot. If you can get your hands on a pair ever, do it. You won't regret it. All around the best boot I've ever owned.

Hummel 4.2 Concept

Aesthetics – 8/10
These do not seem made to be highly aesthetically pleasing, however in their own way they have a unique style with the large hummel writing across the inside of each cleat and the visible changes in material in the upper. The goatskin leather seems to stay cleaner than kangaroo leather, however they are not as sleek as I expected and make my feet look bulky. In the end, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Value – 3/10
I bought these cleats expecting a good quality cleat which would last me my entire season to practice in. After all, Hummel claims to pride itself not in its high profile sponsors, but in its understated high quality products. Unfortunately, that’s what I get for believing everything I read. Before having worn these boots for even a month a large tear appeared on the inside part of the right boot, and a week later the entire inside of the boot had torn itself apart, the materials of the boot spilling out of the gaping hole. A similar hole was already forming on the other boot, as well as the upper was already separating from the outsole before I decided to pitch these nightmare of a shoe. When looking on the SP forums, I saw that I was not the only one who had experienced this lack of quality in Hummel.

Comfort – 8/10
I originally intended these to be a more unique replacement to my copas, as the Hummel representative here claimed that goatskin leather was more comfortable and more durable than the much more common kangaroo leather. Once again, that’s what I get for believing everything I read. As you have read, the material is not very durable and copas (as expected) are more comfortable, though I do find the conical studs on these Hummels more comfortable than my pulses. In terms of molding and comfort, kangaroo leather is far superior.

Performance – 7.5/10
It is hard for me to notice a large difference in performance while using different boots, and I think that a player’s skill, not his boots, will determine performance. Having said this, I found my feet sliding around at times when making hard cuts and this certainly would not help my performance. Otherwise, these boots performed fine (for the very short amount of time they were usable). I would say that they are slightly lighter than copas, however not enough to make a difference in performance.

Durability – 3/10
I think that value and durability go hand in hand, so these boots get the same low score. I give them 3 instead of 1 or 0 because at least they did not fall apart as soon as I took them out of the box! For the record I only used these in well-maintained, grass fields.

Overall – 4/10
For obvious reasons, I would not recommend purchasing the cleats. Go for the adidas copa mundial and get a better performing, more comfortable, time-tested, inexpensive boot. This has been my first and last experience with Hummel, and I hope that you can learn from my mistake.

BLACK/WHITE NIKE AIR LEGEND FG

Aesthetics 10/10 These boots are very simple looking, very old school. I brought this colorway because I think that black and white boots look really class, also most colors of boots will look stupid with my new clubs strip of yellow and green. The whole boot looks fabulous, I love them!

Value 9/10 These boots cost me £60 from a sportsworld store. I think this an absolutely amazing price for what in my opinion is the best kangaroo leather out there, the boots are also the comfiest boots I’ve ever worn, boots I am comparing comfort to are: Absolutes, Pulses, F50s(originals and +’s) and world cups. The leather is so soft and I think this price was a real steal.

Comfort 9.5/10 These boots are amazingly comfortable, the leather moulds to your feet almost instantaneously, there is no stud pressure whatsoever, the air zoom unit in the boots heel also offers great cushioning making the boots stupidly comfy to wear.

Performance 10/10 These boots are really good performance wise, the touch is great and you really can get a good feel on the ball, the stud configuration on the fg model offers really good traction and turning is made really easy in these.

Durability – /10 I cannot give an accurate mark for the durability of these boots simply because I only recently purchased them and haven’t used them to give a good idea of the durability, however I will say I have used these boots for about 10 hours overall and there are literally no signs of wear, all there is, is a few scratches on the sole but that is to be expected.

Overall 9.6/10 These are so far the comfiest boots I have ever worn, and offer me a better feel on the ball, they are full kangaroo leather and for only £60 I think they are amazingly good value for money, they fit perfectly and I am already in love with them. They fully deserve the marks, and I would recommend these boots to anybody, well done to nike, I was unsure whether to use nike again after I was disappointed so much by the vapor ii, but these boots are just phenomenal.

Adidas predator pulse Black red silver UK size 6.5

Looks 8/10

simple and stylish grown on me loads and when you look down and see the red tongue dunno why but it just feels good

Comfort 10/10

most comfortable boots ive ever had no breaking in problems and really soft leatherthe soleplate provides great stability and the traxion studs make it extremely difficult for yourself to slipthe external heel counter performed well and didnt cause my dodgy achilles any problems

value 10/10

as the boots are from last season they were only 50 quid and were much better than my champions league absoloutes which were 80 and were so awful i had to take them back

overall 9/10

great comfort and value if i could of got the blackout pulses in my size they would of been 10 the only letdown is the looks are a bit tacky on the side and i dont like the feel of the silver bit but i wont let that spoil a great boot and it comes second after my manias

Mizuno Wave Shinkens

Aesthetics = 8/10
Compared to my v1.06, konstrukt, and absolutes these take a little more to get use to. The only part I am truly unsure about is the black "bio-panel" area. The kangaroo pocket for the shoe laces is definitely something every other shoe manufacturer should look into. Until you see the black inside portion, this boot is quite striking.

Value = 8.5/10
Normally I am able to buy my boots at through a local vendor, but for some strange reason these are not sold anywhere in the states. I ordered them from prosportuk.com and had to pay full price. So, with shipping they came to about $180.00.

Comfort = 9/10
Very comfortable boot. Compared to the absolutes, the leather on the shinkens are not quite as soft. However the quilting on the vamp adds a degree of comfort. The "bio-panel" portion of the shoe is flexible but one should not be mislead into thinking it is by any means soft. I did not experience any break in time what so ever. I took the shoes directly from the box and played a full 90 minutes without any hotspots or discomfort. Sizing appears to be a little long compared to an Adidas or Puma boot. The width of the shoe is very similar to the Absolutes and a little wider than the v10.06 or Konstrukt.

Performance = 10/10
Anytime a shoe manufacturer comes out with new technology there is always room for doubt. I have had several of Adidas' boots starting from the Predator Precision to the current Abolutes. The touch, control, and swerve provided by the Mizuno "bio-panel" out performs predator technology hands down. During the game my ball flight appeared to be truer and more accurate. On corner kicks, bending a ball inside the far post became effortless and rather comedic at how easy it was to beet the keeper. The outsole configuration provided great traction and support. I cannot remember a single instance of stud pressure. These shoes feel very light. I have not actually weighed them, but they appear to be lighter than my Konstrukts, a lot lighter than the Absolutes, and a touch heavier than the v1.06.

Durability = 9/10
I have only had these boots for a short period, but they already appear to be a very durable shoe. There are no signs of sole seperation or wear on the leather - my Absolutes began to seperate from the sole in the toe area after 20 minutes of game play. Clean up was very easy with a wet cloth. The sole is riveted to the upper in the toe and mid-foot area. These boots should easily last a full year.

Overall = 9/10
I am very happy with this boot. From the moment you put it on to the moment you take it off, it is easy to forget you have a shoe on at all. I would say the only area for improvement might be the colorway. This season will be fun wearing such a great boot that nobody else has.

Nike Men's Mercurial Steam FG
White/Gold

Aesthetics 8/10

These boots will look great for a few games, but after you’ve been stepped on a few times they'll have some squid marks on them which are a burden to remove. The tongue part which is suppose to come down is completely worthless unless you wrap a rubber banned around. All in all I still think it deserves an 8/10.

Value 9/10

I bought these for $60 in the U.S and I think they are worth every last penny, and more.

Performance 8/10

I feel as though I loose a little bit of shot power with these cleats, but it makes up for it in other places. You get a good ball feel and although u loose a little grip when it’s wet you still get plenty of traction (the studs aren’t huge like some people think). I can also turn easily at high speeds without worrying about slipping. The only down side about these boots performance is that the laces kind of get in the way sometimes. Other than that it’s great.

Comfort 9/10

This boot is arguably the most comfortable boot I have ever owned. From the moment I put it on it felt perfect, I never got blister or anything like that. Now that I have broken it in they feel like my morning slippers; and believe me, that’s comfortable.


Durability 8 /10

I've played about 10 games with them now (not counting practice) and their still in pretty good shape. The worst thing is that the tongue is starting to rip from the inside where it is stitched at the bottom. It’s a little torn on the left side of the right boot, but it’s not too bad. I think they are very durable for the price.


Overall 8/10

All together I don't have to much to complain about on these cleats. Their comfy, they perform well, and they've lasted. I would recommend this boot to anybody who is low on cash, but still wants high end quality.

Nomis Flare FG - Gold/Black/White



Aesthetics : 7.5/10

I like the look and form of these boots. However the white synthetic material on the side of the boot is prone to scuff marks. Now after about a month of use the white leather is slightly discoloured a yellowish tinge (possibly related to the booster cloths), despite cleaning them with cold water after each period of use.

Value : 6.5/10

These boots are not cheap, I purchased them on the Nomis Shop website for AUD$300.00. This price is on par with other high-end boots and considering their quality I consider them reasonably priced.

Comfort : 10/10

Incredibly comfortable. The Flares really are great to put on, they have great support and cushioning and the K-Leather after the first few days really shapes to the feet. Almost like wearing a pair of trainers the comfort they provide, one training session I managed to forget to bring socks - no matter, the Flares were just as good as ever, except with even better touch. Despite going through the whole training like this there was no blistering or soreness.

Performance : 9/10

The Flares performance in training and match situations is very good. The lace covers provide a great kicking surface and I've hit some real powerful shots with these boots. The touch with these boots is also good, and the grip you must really experience yourself (good in wet and dry), you can feel it when you touch the boots. The Flares had me wanting to try out and had me pulling off all sorts of little flicks and chip passes. If you're playing with cheaper balls in some situations the friction is such that the ball almost sticks to the boot.

The nomud technology that these boots supposedly come with has not made much of an apparent difference. In dry conditions there is very little build up of soil or mud on these boots - on a comparable level with the boots of my teammates. In poorer, muddier conditions there can be quite a considerable buildup of mud on the soles - again no notable difference with the nomud enabled Flares compared to the boots of my teammates.

Durability : 8/10

Minor issues with scuffing and discolouration as noted above. The only point of concern with durability has been the breaking of once of the lace loops underneath the lace cover. This occurred after only a couple of uses of the boot (error in manufacture) when pulling tight the laces. It was easily mended and the problem has not recurred since.

One month of relatively frequent use (3-4 times a week) and there is no hint of separation between upper and outsole.

Overall : 9/10

Not a cheap boot, but well worth it. This boot stands up very well where it counts, in comfort and performance. Overall I'm very happy with my Flares. I would recommend anyone looking for new boots to consider them and give them a try.

A classic look and feel about these boots, no nonsense or frills.

Value – 10/10
I paid £52 for these and for the comfort alone they are worth it. They use K leather which is very high spec so for this price I can’t argue.

Comfort – 10/10
I got a whole size smaller and the boots fit me perfectly. They are just so soft that the leather simply moulds to the shape of your foot. The plastic sole and rubber moulded studs offer great comfort and support instantly. Although the boots are soft they still provide great support in an around the heel, which some leather boots don’t.

I have worn puma kings, vapors, total 90’s, Manias, Pulses, and these boots are the most comfortable.

Performance – 9/10
These boots are not specifically designed for speed, touch or power… just football!! If you can feel the ball like you can in the these boots you will be able to play at your full potential. Only a nine as the tongue as a bit annoying, it doesn’t lay flat like a predator tongue, or tuck away like a Nike vapour.

Durability – /10
I’ve only had these a month and so far no problems, a lot of my team mates have these and have had no problems, at this price you can’t really argue.

Overall – 9¼ /10

A great classic looking boot. It is comfortable, affordable and is a great boot for firm ground. I would get a 1/2 size or a whole size smaller, the leather does give and they will fit you perfectly!!

Aesthetics- 8:

these boots look pretty retro but do have a lot of modern features. they are simple, which i like. not futureistic, but you have to like the style of them. the soleplate looks modern with the carbon fibre and the plastic ridges. and with so many colours to choose from you cant go wrong!


value- 9:

i had a £15 cretit with pro direct soccer so i got them for £75. this is quite a bit less then other boots like abs, vapors, supremecies, zhero gravity etc. and even though they cost less i'm sure they are just as good if not better then the boots i just listed.


comfort- 9:

they were very comfy when i first tried them on and in my first training session. but for my second training i got a huge blister on the bottom of my big toe. since then they have been great. the leather is so soft and moulds perfectly to your foot.


performance- 10:

these boots are brilliant in terms of performance. i seem to be able to dribble better because the ball sticks to the soft leather. they are not as light as other boots but i don't really mind about that. shots are great with them too. easy to get under the ball etc. the addition of a strap makes them even better. great performance.


Durability- 8:

a little bit of ware and tare but no major damage at all. just what i would expect really. i do have a little problem though, the plastic parts (eg. heel counter and where the sole meet the leather at the front) have quite a few bad scuffs that i can't seem to get off. i guess that happens with white boots though


overall score- 9

a solid boot that could be a future classic.

Puma Konstruct SG Blue





Aesthetics- 8.5:

The boots look classy yet is a boot that looks powerful and intimadating. Love the heel counter, a bit futuristic on a classic boot, leather looks immense quality from near and affar. Not too flashy boot a great looking boot nonetheless.

Value- 9.5:

Mine set me back £70 but Nipples has bought his for £55 (www.prosportuk.com) so yes they're top quality for the price. Great leather boot, awesome!

Comfort- 10:

Never had a boot as comfy as these since the Predator Manias, the sole is perfectly shaped and the leather moulds very nicely to your foot, the padding is also very comfy.

Performance- 10:

Very light, springy sole so you can turn and run easily enough. Great touch even when wet. 7 studs work very well adding more grip and better support to the foot. The heel counter also takes away any worries of damage to your heel/achilles (sp?).

Durability:

Obviously can't comment, only having them for 1 match and a PE lesson. Best look another review for durability.


Overall Score- 9.75

Boot works to perfection:

• Leather is great quality.
• 7 stud system offers great support and traxion.
• Heel counter offers amazing support.
• Can concentrate on football without having to worry about the boot falling apart.

All round perfect boot for me.

Aesthetics: 9/10
these are still the best looking boots out in my opinion. The kng leather is soft. The lacing sysytem is superb bcause it gives me a cleaner, more powerfull and acuurate pass or stike. I also like the tongue as it gives you something to cover the laces at the top and it doesn't flap mine stays down. Value: 10/10
I got mine recently for £20 of ebay. If these hold up i might consider getting another pair.

Comfort: 8/10
Not the comfiest boots i've had but still very comfy. the kng leather is soft and every time i wear and clean them it seems to be getting softer. ( i've only had them for 3 weeks). i've had no problems like blisters or anything at all with these. the only way they could imprive these boots is to add a bit more padding to the sole or to the inside of the boot to add a more snug feel.

Performance: 9/10
As i have said before, these give you a cleaner more powefull and accurate strike i also get alot of swerve on the ball if i hit it a certain way. Because of this and the comfort i feel alot more confident in these boots compared to my tt903's or my legends.

Durability: 7-8/10
I've only had these for 3 weeks so i can't give these a solid mark. The front where the red is has started to peel away but the sole has shown no sense of peeling at all.

Overall: 8.5/10
Top quality boot i might consider getting again. Best nike boot made along with the legends.

Adidas 7406 TRX FG Review (BLK/WHT)

Ok my first post and first review! this cleat is one of my favorite soccer shoes and I'd like to share my opinions with all you nice soccer lunatics


Aesthetics 9.8 /10
I was caught between choosing White or Black.. White color really caught my eye at first but I went to more of original looking BLK/WHT.. and boy did I make a good choice. It really is nice looking. The tongue has 'adidas 7406' stiched in gold and that really is a thing of beauty. Overall, I love the design!

Value 10 /10
I don't know why amazon.com put this great shoe at $44.99 free shipping, it was in July when all the soccer hype was at highest.. along with $20 off $80 coupon, I picked up the shoe at around $36... amazing boot at more amazing price. But at retail price of $110, I'd not hesitate to buy it.

Comfort 9.5 /10
I have wide feet and this boot fits my feet 2nd best. (first one being Mania). Leather is calf leather and it strethces nicely and very quickly. My heels did not suffer from any new-shoe-syndrome and that's when I really appreciated the shoe even more

Performance 9 /10
Did I mention calf leather used in 7406 is really soft? well my personal favorite upper material changed from K-leather to this one.. I love how it sticks to the ball. Overall very nice feel

Durability 8.5 /10
toe area started to show cracks after 2 months.. good thing the shoe comes with leather food.. After 30 minute massage, the shoe was 95% brand new again. w

Overall 9.3 /10
for me this is 10/10 because of price I paid, but I just placed order for white/blk one at retail price. I love how much this shoe brings to the field without spending fortune.

Hopefully I'll have more reviews in the future.. I have litterally 100 boots in my storage

Only had them for two days but after 1 match they have shown no soghn of wearing.The fella in the shop said to rub them in Vasiline cause the laether in inclined to crack. Only concern is the leather seems very soft.

Overall-8.5/10
Overall a smashing boot thats great value

The Reebok Copper/Black "RbK Pro Rage FG." As worn by Thierry Henry, Andriy Shevchenko, Ryan Giggs, and Iker Casillas. "Firm Ground," boot with bladed cleats.



Aesthetics: 6/10
The color is atrocious. The Copper/Black combo is an eyesore and the shoe pattern is nothing to call home about. The boot has a neoprene/synthetic lining that helps prevent blisters coupled with a breathable "microfiber," upper portion. There are no laces to speak of really, except for a couple strings at the top that really won't tighten the boot that much. This gives the boot some amazingly large surface area. The heel has a weird plastic plate that you won't really notice but is said to give, "more stability." The sole of the boot has a strong plastic plate that gives a good push when sprinting.


Value: 7/10
It's an expensive boot. The high-end boot costs about £80 with some lower models costing about 30-40. Is the £80 worth it? I think so. The plate and blades on the high-end model give a good push for making runs, but all of the Rage models have big surface area for those looking to get good touch on the ball. It's not the most expensive boot, but you'll be wishing for another color for all that money you shelled out.


Comfort: 9/10
Fits like you wouldn't believe, it's not perfect but it's the closest I've seen to it. It feels a little loose at times, even if you get it fit to your size. If the laces were made to actually tighten the upper portion of the shoe more, it'd be perfect. However, running with this boot is no problem at all. It will feel like you're running with track spikes on. Lightweight, plenty of push, very comfortable.


Performance: 9/10
This boot performs like it feels. With all the surface area on the top, you have plenty of touch on the ball. It's amazing how much spin you can put on the ball with these boots. As stated earlier, this boot provides good push for solid runs into space. The manufacturers tried their best to drop as much weight from the boot as possible, and they did a solid job (Dropped from 310g to 265g).


Durability: 8/10
With all this "microfiber," dropped weight, and surface area, this boot is bound to be as sturdy as glass, right? Nope, it's a tough one. You'll feel a tackle into the foot, but you'll be hard pressed to see any marks left on the boot. The only glaring change you'll see will be creases on top of the boot from running on the balls of your feet. This might detract slightly from precision and accuracy hitting the ball, but it's so minimal that it won't be noticed. The blades on the bottom might wear a little with every game, but not as much as you might be used to with some other boots.


Overall: 8/10
It's a good boot that provides great traction, good runs, solid strikes, and surprising comfort. The only things holding this boot back are it's looks and price tag. If you've been wanting for this shoe, go and get it. If you're questioning this shoe, buy a temporary pair and wait for Reebok to make a new model. If you have the opportunity to try it out, definitely do so, you'll be surprised.




Size 11 US/10 UK

Puma King Pro SG

Looks
What can you say? The true classic. Maradonna's boots. Black and white (and gold). Mostly I like the Puma King because no mather how bad, sleepy, hung over, or tired you look, feel and actually may be, when you take the Puma King out of your bag with uncleaned kit, they are still the real deal. Raw and 20 years unchanged. Says something about yourself too, doesn't it?

Value
Normally priced at € 110, I got them for € 110. No complaints. I don't think the best value deal, Lotto's for example may be a little cheaper and very good indeed, but read the first part again.

Comfort
My friends, I ask you, what is comfort? I normally don't wear a condom during office hours, but when I need one, I'll get one. That discomfort leads to pleasure. So they may be tight, they may actually have "feelable" studs, or perhaps may even get a little heavier in the rain, still they are the Puma Kings, they will carry you everywhere, any time, any speed. Look for comfort at 65plus.

Performance
This is hard to say. I play rugby not football. My country is the numer 32 in the world. My country has four divisions and my team plays in the third. You will understand that I need the best boots to make that second division as soon as possible. So far, it wasn't the boots that let me (us) down.

Durability
I like soccer shoes. I love them. I threw away my asics tigreors, just to buy the Kings. I loved Lotto stadio as well, both sg and fg. Never tried adidas because my feet are wide. As a kid I sometimes cut my shoes to get new ones from my mother. Today I am happy with the durability.

Overall
A round up then. Consider you're style made, and be organised at 30/35 years. Do not change anymore. Do not get any more tattoos, do not buy a funny bike, do not pimp your car. Stick to your wife. And please , please, please do not start running around on yellowish Vapors or whatever. Get the Puma King Pro, or the execs if you cant wait for comfort. And consider your boot topic done.

Hi,

I decided to take a moment of time and write a review of some of my boots.

O.K. I start with my Puma V1.06


Aesthetics 9 /10
This boot is really looking class! I have got the black version. I usually do not like black boots, but in this case, the black color is the best out yet. I also really like the carbon-design on the sole of the boot. But the boot looks very used after a couple times of playing in them, therefore 9 points out of 10.

Value 7 /10
In the day of overpriced boots for over 200€, the V1.06 is very well priced at 165€ retail price. I never buy my boots for the full retail price, so I got the V1.06 for 100€. I think that is a good and acceptable price, but since its not leather I only give 7 points

Comfort 8 /10
The comfort of the boot is unbelievable for such a light boot. For me its way more comfortable than the Mercurial Vapor 3. The synthetic molds to your foot very well, and you do not feel any pressure caused by the studs (I have the FG version).
But when its cold, your feet really hurt when you shoot or get stepped on.
That’s why I only give 8 points.

Performance 9 /10
I can only play good in boots that are comfy. For me the v1 is one of the comfiest boots on the market. You also have a great first touch in them, and you can shoot and curl the ball very well. The stud configuration gives you excellent traxion, even on very deep and wet pitches. A great boot for somebody with quick feet.

Durability 4 /10
Now to the main bad point of the boot: The durability. Mine only lasted for two months. The sole is coming away from the upper. That is in my opinion not acceptable for a boot that costs 165€. Maybe I have to say that I used them nearly everyday for over two hours. I played in them for about 80 hours in sum, only on good condition natural grass pitches
I send them back to the online shop where I bought them from right now, and hope to get a voucher.

Overall 6 /10

The boot really performs good, is light and comfy. But the durability is not acceptable. I would not recommend them for the winter, because your feet will freeze. Also, if you get stepped on your feet often, get a more stable shoe (even the Mercurial Vapor is more stable).
If you search for a light boot, with good touch and comfort, ONLY FOR GAMES, then get them. But they are not for your everyday practice.



SOON TO COME:

Vapor II. Vapor III, Lotto Stadio, Predator Pulse, Mizuno Negrado Wave.

Here is my review of the Nike Mercurial Vapor III


Aesthetics 6 /10
Still one of the best looking boots out there. But the Vapor II looked way better for me. I don’t really like the look of the heel, and imo the swoosh is placed too much in the front. After a couple times of use, you see the usual scuff marks.

Value 6 /10
200 € for a plastic boot that is made in China? That’s way too much money if you ask me. Atleast the craftsmanship is very well, and the boot is very durable. Also it is made in Italy, which can be a fact for the high price.

Comfort 5 /10
To make it short: The Vapor II just fitted me better. I don’t get any blisters of wearing the MVIII, but its not really comfy. The insole that comes with the boot is a joke: Its so sticky that your feet cant move a bit, which caused me incredible pain the first time I wore them. After changing the insole to my old azt 90 II it went better, but still not perfect

Performance 8 /10
The MV III is still very light, but heavier than the MVII. It provides a excellent first touch, and you can shoot and curl very well in them, imo better then in predators. The studs give great traxion, even on wet surfaces (I have got the FG version).

Durability 9 /10
I own the white/ginger MVIII for about 4 months now. Beside the scuff marks, there is no sign of wear and tear. That’s great for a light boot, like the Vapor. Its far more durable than the Puma V1.06, which fell apart after only a few times of use.

Overall 7 /10
A great boot, but I prefer the Mercurial Vapor II more, but the MV III is still the best super light boot of this season!

Here is my review of the Nike Mercurial Vapor II


Aesthetics 10 /10
Honestly, this is the best looking football boot ever. It just looks perfect. The soleplate, the upper, the heelcounter, even the laces, everything is absolutely perfect. I have got the sport red, the blue and the r9 brazil silver/gold version. All three boots look so good, after every training and game I clean them and put them in my room!
Imo the gold version was the best ever, but I haven’t got them, since I consider myself not as good enough to wear gold boots, lol.

Value 7 /10
200 € for a plastic boot is too much, no doubt. But the craftsmanship is very good, and so the durability. It is made in Italy, that can be a fact for the high price too. I bought my vapors for under 100€. The red ones cost me 60€, the blue SG ones 90€ and the brazil ones 65€. That’s an acceptable price, but I would not pay the full retail price for the boots.

Comfort 10 /10
In one word: PERFECT. The upper molded to my feet perfectly, the heelcounter fits very snug and the insole with its poron inlays gives enormous comfort. I don’t feel any stud pressure

Performance 10 /10
I have got a superb first touch in them. Freekicks and long range shoots come powerful and accurate from my feet, aswell chips and crosses fly perfectly. Tricks like stepovers are easy to do with the shoe, because you cant feel that you have a shoe on. Due to the thin nike-skin material, you can feel the ball very close to your feet. The FG stud configuration gives great traxion, even on wet pitches. I hardly ever have to use the SG version of my Vapors, but that’s good, I like the FG ones better.

Durability 10 /10
I have got the sport red version since it came out, and that’s nearly 3 years ago now. They are still in excellent condition, although I wore and wear the very often.

Overall 10 /10
The nike Mercurial Vapor II is the best boot for me. It combines excellent first touching with good shooting and dribbling ability.
Also it is the best looking boot out there for me.

I give the full 10 points to them.

Well thought i should do a review on my LEgends now i have had them a Full Year and experianced both SG and FG versions.

Nike Tiempo Air Legends. SG and FG


Aesthetics:
SG- 8/10 FG- 8.5/10

A very good looking boot one of my favourites availible to date looks great in standard black colours aswell as the more noticable Whites/Golds/Reds ect. The design works well with everything. And is awsome for Retro boot lovers. But imo the FG Sole Plate looks a touch better than SG.

Value 8.5/10

Best Valued Nike Football boot availible. Its RRP is 70£ and can be purchased in the UK for as little as 54£ this is amazing value for a market that is extremely overpriced these days. Especially as its made from High Quality K-leather and is the Premium model.

Comfort 8.5/10

I would have rated them a touch higher but as i broken them in i feal i should have gone a half size smaller. This is because i have started to notice i get blister on my big toes and the part just before the big toe joins the foot on my sole. this is because of extra space created by the streching K-Leather. Apart from that they were perfect at the begining. So remember to give thought to the leather molding to your foot shape.

Performance SG 7.5/10 FG 8.5/10

A Good Performer but recently i feel i need a lighter boot on SG pitches. But on Artificial or Hard Pitches there very good. I feal that the FGs touch seems better and i have more overal control but both very good. Fantastic range of passing in these boots but i find it difficult to curve the ball from set pices with these compared to Preds (manias) and Vapors.

Durability SG 9/10 FG 7/10

Well playing all last seaon well a majority of my game sin SG legends theye have held up very well no damage to be seen just muddy boots that have lost a bit of shape due to breaking in. Weras my FG i feal wont hold up as long simply because i am using them 2 training sessions a week on Artificial surfaces (Astro Turf with the black stuff). But they our a very durable leather boot imo and it all depends on how much you personal useage is. But there very very well made.

Overall SG 8.3/10 FG 8.2/10

A ver good boot great for Retro and leather boot lovers infact perfect. Good performers and comftable. Only down is there not the lightest boots so can feal a little wieghted at times on wet pitches but most boots do.

Would definatly recomend them.

My review of the France f50.6 Tunit

Aesthetics 7 /10
The look of the boot is excellent and the way its engineered is fantastic IMO. One criticism is the toe box though...I think the toe box is too big and square looking so -1 for that.

Value 7 /10
£125. Ive paid £125 all in for the boot now, Upper/Chassis/FG & SG Studs/Stud Key. So I think to be fair, its a reasonable price considering I can wear them on any surface now and I can change the Upper of the boot whenever this one gets worn down.

Comfort 6 /10
When I first wore these boots there was a constant pain in the inside of each boot and I thought I wouldnt be able to wear these for long...but after about 3 times of wearing them theyre actually quite comfortable-although I've definetely had comfier boots.

Performance 8 /10
The studs give you great grip on any surface you play on, which is great for me because usually I play on a wet grass pitch! Also they're very reliable and easy to clean.

Durability 9 /10
I've only had these boots for about a month & a half, so therefore I dont know how the durability of these boots is going to be. Although so far there are no signs of scuff marks and unlike some other people's Tunits, my studs havent snapped or fell off or anything like that.
Overall 8 /10
Overall I like these boots better than the +f50 from last season, I think its a great invention Adidas have made letting you change any component of the boot depending on weather/surface...even your strip colour! so well done Adidas

nike MVIII fg charcoal/gold



asthetics: 9/10
these boots look incredible. i love the shape. imo the best colourway so far, the boot looks so sleek. the upper material is soft too. however, once worn a few times, loads of creases appear which dosen't look too good.

value: 8/10
i bought them from sportsworld for £83. thats a good £40 of the rrp so i'm pretty pleased with that. i'm prepered to pay that much for a quality pair of boots.

comfort: 9/10
no blisters. were comfy from the first moment i put them on and got even comfier. two small problems though, the arches are very high. they feel a little too high when you first put them on, but as you play it really helps your foot and it feels very comfy. also, even though i have pretty narrow feet they are a little long but thats not a big problem though.

performance: 8/10
they are good, shooting is nice with these but i don't feel any faster in them. touch is not as good a +f30.6 but is still nice. they don't have as much protection as other boots, but thats a scrifice i'm willing to make.

durability: 9.5/10
these boots are indesructable! ok, a few scuffs and one of the laces has freyed but apart from that they are in perfect condition. absolutely no seperation at the toe. brilliant.

overall:9/10
i wasn't expecting these to be so good, i'm already planning to get the grey/orange colourway!

Adidas f50+ Black/White

Aesthetics:10/10
LOVE the look of these boots, wasn't too keen on the webbing at first but because it's black it just makes the boot look cool instead of stupid. The white section in the middle makes the boot look really classy, and it definetly looks better with the laces uncovered. The silver adidas logo on the top of the boot looks class. And the F50+ logo and the stripes complement the boots well.

Comfort:10/10
HATED the insoles so i decided not too wear any. I always wear two pair of socks so this wasn't uncomfortable.
It was the best decision I've ever made, the boot was like a sock and my boot was really flexible so i could sprint like i was barefoot. The laces under the tongue were very comfortable and didnt keep flapping all over the place.

Performance:7/10
Made the mistake of getting F.G when i bought these. The ground was always soft and muddy so i tended to slide all over the place. They were great for winter when the ground was hard though. Due too the lightweight nature of the boot i felt a lot less power in the shots than i did in my pulses. You can say its all in the head but there really was a noticeable difference. The best part of the performance was the stability and lightness of the boot. i really felt i was barefoot wearing these.

Durability:8/10
Only signs of wear and tear after a year and half of solid use with little care took when washing them are a few scuff marks at the front and cracks appearing in the webbing. Although the cracks are result of washing with a hard bristle brush.

Value:10/10
Any boot that cost 50£ and last 1 and a half seasons is worth the money. But this boot is just outstanding. Literally just an extension of my foot. And still look nearly brand new. Would definetly reccomend (sp?)

Overall:9.8/10
Great boot very near perfection. And they were 100% better than my manias. A superb boot.

NIKE AIR LEGEND FG-Silver/black

Aesthetics 10/10The silver and black Air Legends are in my opinion the best color, seeing all of the colors in person at the store. The Silver and black upper combines with the silver and black carbon fiber sole to make perfect aesthetics. It is a classy look, but modern at the same time.
Value 10 /10
For this good a boot, getting them at USD 120 is a good deal. Now, since this color is discontinued, you can get them for around 80 to 90 USD.
Comfort 7/10This boot is not so easy on the foot. In the beginning, the leather can be hard on the toes. The insole is not very padded. The only comfort sanctuary in the insole is the air zoom unit-but do not be confused-it is only in the heel. I loved that the insole is sticky-your foot will not slide around. The boot is also very boxy, which may not fit your foot. It is also very wide. Blisters on my two big toes occurred a couple of times, and the blisters were big.
Performance 9 /10
The upper on this boot is flawless. The tongue is great, but the Velcro wears down after time. The leather is top notch, and the leather goes all around, except for the heel counter. This I LOVE. The leather is everywhere, and the leather is good. However, it got marked down on performance because the insole was not so padded, and could give blisters. This can distract from performance. The upper provides perfect comfort, but the insole could have been better.
Durability 8/10
The durability of this shoe could have been improved at the toe if the sole was sewn on, but it is only glued. Still very durable for a kangaroo leather boot. My execs didn’t last half as long. Also, some stiching is starting to come apart after 5 months.
Overall 9/10
Comfortable boot, but comfort could be better. Leather is top notch and there’s plenty to go around. Upper is flawless, but insole is a little thin. The sticky insole was a plus for me. The fg studs were great but wore down considerably. Overall: A grade. However; since I am looking for new boots now, I have to say that I am definitely considering other boots(Nomis, Umbro.) The comfort just wasn’t great enough.

Aesthetics - 9/10
this boots look great imo...nothing much to say...look at them yourself...my teams kit is blue/white so it matches perfectly...as most of you say...classic but modern...o love the look of them

Value 10/10
i got them for 60 pounds, that is, cheaper than vapors, predators, tunits, 90s...i mean...for that price these boots are incredible

Comfort 8.5/10
yes, they are k leather, yes, they have zoom air, and yes they are for wide feet...but i really do not notice much of a difference between these and my mystics or predator pulsions...thats just my oppinion...they could be definetly more confortable

Performance 9.5/10
everything is perfect...nothing much to say...the only problem is that the insole could cause blisters because it is not that smooth, apart from that...great

Durability 10/10
these boots can last as long as you want...i got them right when they were released i think it was august and i have used them for 2 or 3 practices per week plus game on weekends and it is in perfect condition...maybe its thanks to the leather food, who knows???

Aesthetics - 8/10
they look good...but you can CLEARLY see the difference between mystics and legends, its like nike made differences noticable so you pay a higher price

Value 9.5/10
ok...cheaper than pulsion, talarias, etc...if you cant afford "high priced" boots go for these ones or pulsions...

Comfort 10/10
i also have the legends and i swear you wont notice a difference between legends and mystics...soft leather that feels like k leather and perfect for wide/normal feet...VERY confy

Performance 9.5/10
maybe im too picky but the velcro doesnt hold the tounge like on the mystics...nike probably did this on purpuse too so you pay a higher price for the legends...but great preformance...they wont bother you at all

Durability 9.5/10
i used them for almost a year playing about 4 times per week in wet/dry conditions and they were great, the only problem was thatafter about 6 months the leather and the bottom part of the boot separate a bit

Overall 9.5/10
for the price...GREAT BOOT...

Umbro Xai MK V

Aesthetics – 8/10 I didn't like the design of these shoes when I saw them on Internet. I was looking for shoes that are perfect fit and thought these shoes were perfect. When I got them, however, I was pretty impressed by the design.

Value – 4/10 I got them for $ 190 from soccer.com. This is way too expensive for the quality of the shoes.

Comfort – 8/10 Fit is perfect as I expected. I have wide feet and these boots were comfortable. If you have a perfect fit with AZT IIIs, then these will be comfortable for you. The insole is kind of thick and foamy, and I never had a blister wearing these boots.

Performance – 5/10 "The upper is made from Italian K-leather", the description says. I didn't like it at all. It is no way close to "ultra-soft". The leather is so thick, I couldn't feel the ball at all. It is thicker and stiffer than synthetic leathers of AZT IIIs or MV IIIs.

Durability – ?/10 I had them for a month, and there is no sign of tearing or separating upper from the midsole. I need to play with them for few more months.

Overall – 6.25/10 I am not at all satisfied with these boots. The price was way too expensive for this kind of quality. I don't know how this can be "Loved by John Terry". Maybe he is payed to wear them.

Diadora Totti 10 Pro RTX 12 (White)


Aesthetics – 10/10 Really nice looking boots. The color of the leather is somewhat gray, not completely white. The leather is actually shiny, but the shine goes away after awhile. I think the diadora logo on the side of the boots really stands out. They are synthetic but little different. (They feel like sandpapers.)

Value – 10/10 I liked the fact that they cost almost the same price as the Nike Air Legends. The boots are definitely high quality boots, and they are not that expensive as the Adidas Absolutes.

Comfort – 9/10 These boots provide incredible arch support. The support is much better than AZT IIIs or Predators.

The insole material is so-called Memory foam, but I don't think it is changing in any way. Under the insole, there is another thick, soft padding, not hard plastic. And under that, the plastic.

At the place where the Nike Legends have the Air Zoom, there is a reddish, gelatin-like material. I am not sure if that absorbs shock but the cushion almost feels like the Air Zoom.

The fit is pretty wide. I have AZT III feet and my feet are comfortable in these.

I gave these boots a 9 in comfort because the heel counters don't really lock my feet in place. Other than that, no complaint.

Performance – 10/10 I will only talk about the leather and the studs because there is no point mentioning how I can or can't bend the ball or how I can kick really hard. The boots don't make you play better. The leather is softer than the Absolutes generally. I say this because there are some Absolutes that have amazingly thin leather. It was so soft I thought the boots wouldn't last long, but they are fine. I don't think the touch control material on the leather helps much. I think it is going to wear away soon.

The studs are relatively short compared to Absolutes, but there was no place where I particularly felt the stud pressure. So the studs are comfortable, but they don't really dig into the field.

Durability – 10/10 I've had them for 2 months now, but there is no sign of wearing.

Overall – 10/10 Nice boot. Definitely worth buying.

Hi everyone heres my review for my new Puma v-Konstruckts GCi FG.

Aesthetics 7/10
This is just a personal opinion! I have the white, iris, and anthracite konstrukt. I cant pick out any real problems i just dont think it looks as good as my pair of absolutes! the tongue on them serves no purpose and i think they look odd.

Value 9/10
Got them for 240 new zealand which is pretty cheap for a pair of top line boots over here. For example absolutes, supremacys sell for 280-300.

Comfort 9/10
Very comfortable pair of boots. Straight out of the box they feel better than anything i"ve ever had (pulses, absolutes, leggendas). The heel is awesome and as i have had heel problems this is great! Got some blisters the first few times but this is expected.

Performance 10/10
Like any other pair of nice boots. Can't really fault them.

Durability 9/10
Only had them for a month but other than a little of the stitching on the padding bits coming off and a little wear on the toes theyre great! My pair of absolutes i wore through the toe so this is good news.

Overall 8/10
Nothing bad about them that i can say! A solid boot that performs well.

Nike Air Zoom Total Supremacy FG (Blue)

Aesthetics 10/10
The design on the supremacy is amazing. The blue area of the boots is shiny, but not as shiny as the blue adidas Predator Beckam ones. All over the front part of the boots, there are logos which I think are soccer club logos. The logos are inside the shoes under the insole as well.

Value 6/10
Expensive. $190 is too much.

Comfort 8/10
The toe region and the ball of foot are comfortable. But if you have a great fit with the Nike Mercurial Vapor IIIs, you won’t like these boots because your feet may slide around. I also have AZT IIIs, and I had the blister problem on the heel of my left foot. In case you don’t understand, I’ll explain. Your heel gets scarred and the boots leave blister there. HOWEVER, AZT Supremacy did not give me any problem with the heel blister part, since they have higher, much higher heels. Also, I can’t notice any difference in the lacing system, which, for AZT Supremacy, is completely re-designed. I originally had perfect fit with AZT IIIs. The studs are also re-designed, but again, no particular difference from AZT IIIs. The insoles are the ones I am not satisfied. The blue poron is gone and Nike now uses the yellow poron of the Nike Mericurial Vapor IIIs. They are not even thicker, either. But Nike has made some consideration for arch support. The insole has some kind of hard material on the arch part. It’s not plastic, though. I don’t know what it is. I occasionally get blisters under my big toes. I didn’t have any problem with AZT IIIs.

Performance 9.9/10
Pretty good. I was comparing these with AZT IIIs, but I think the IIIs give me more power on shots. I don’t know what will happen to you, but that was for me. But touch is okay because the Teijin microfiber is kind of softer than the KNG-100 of AZT IIIs, but not much.

Durability 10/10
These are tanks. Lasts forever. No sign of changing in anyway for three months, only wrinkles.

Overall 8.78/10
It was really nice to see that Nike has solved the heel blister problem, but at the same time it has added the toe blister problem. I have no complaint on other parts, though. Design is cooler and the material is softer.

Review of the adidas Predator Pulsado HG (Blackout)

Aesthetics: 9/10
Although the lowest-end model of the Predator Pulse line, this boot still looks great and extremely similar to the higher end models. Personally, the blackout is class. It provides elegance, style and simplicity. The only difference is the notable absence of an elastic strap to hold the red tongue down.

Value: 8/10
This pair of boots lasted me for about 13 months, with an average of 3 games per week. After about the 11th month, there was some separation between the synthetic leather upper and the soleplate around the toe regions, but till now the upper still has not completely come off. I obtained the boots for about 60SGD, which translates to roughly 20 british pounds. Considering this I would say the pulsados gave me quite a run for my money.

Comfort: 6/10
I own the predator Absolions too, and I can say that the synthetic leather of the pulsados are a far cry in terms of comfort. They do not mould to the shape of your foot, and allow for rather little foot/toe flexibility. After extended period of usage, the insoles started to provide decreasing comfort/protection from stud pressure. I developed little blisters near my heel and big toe.

Performance: 7/10
The pulsados aren't very heavy boots, but they do tend to soak up loads of water when playing in wet pitches. Due to the absence of an elastic strap, the tongue did get in the way a few times during ball control/when I was trying to hit passes and crosses. Also, the synthetic leather could not give me a good feel of the ball. Since performance is so closely related to the level of comfort a pair of boots can offer, I guess a 7 out of 10 should be a fair score. That said, the pulsados did help to provide a good degree of traction.

Durability: 7/10
The boot started to develop durability problems after about slightly less than a year of playing in them. Firstly there was some separation between the upper and soleplate around the toe region. Secondly, a portion of the insole started to wear off (and I mean to the point where a real hole could be seen) around the big toe region.

Overall: 7/10
This low-end boot is alright for the occasional park kickabout or Sunday soccer, but I do think it is more worth the money to shell out more for a mid-range boot, which can provide better ball feel and comfort.

Oh and by the way, Merry Christmas guys!

Nike Air Zoom Total Supremacy FG (Blue)

Aesthetics 6.5/10

Very odd looking boot, very shiny, honestly distract me when im playing. The two boots have different patterns, left foot looks better I think

Value 5/10
To expensive. I got mine for $180 and from what I've experienced so far from worth it,im not against spending that much on boots but those boots aren't near that price tag.

Comfort 6/10
Feel like a very wide fit to me. My foot does seem to slide around. I think this is the cause for frequent blisters on my big toe. The boot has a high heel, which causes me discomfort, though it does reduce the aches i get in the hell slightly. Also feel very heavy, feel like hey weigh you down, not sure why because the aren't actually heavy in weight, migh be the effect of he high heel runnin style.

Performance 7/10

You get a very clean strike, when you go to drive the ball which i think is the best attribute about these boots. Touch is ok, gets worse in wet conditions

Durability 9/10
Got a small rip on the 5th time of using, where he laces start. However the rip hasn't worsened and i don't think it will. I think these can last a very long time

Overall 6.5/10
Toe blister are ridiculous, heel is way to high, i feel an appropriate descripion is space boots for look and feel. The width has really aggrevated me and am more than ready to sell these to the highest bidder. They have given me a greater appreciation k-leather boots.

Will post pictures soon, tommorrow probably.

I've had these boots for over a season now, so I figured that is enough time to conclude my analyzation and evaluation of my boots. Here goes!!

Adidas +F50.6 Tunit Fierce Red (with comfort chassis)


Aesthestics- 9.2/10

I love the color red, so that really boosts my outlook. Also, the upper shows fish scale-like images and I think thats very creative of adidas and looks very good. You can't see the laces at all and I like that also. Theres the teamgeist logo on the lace cover and the adidas logo on the back heel. On the bottom, the X-looking thing is white, NOT BLACK as other pictures show for some reason. So, good looking boot.

Value- 9.6/10

I ordered from soccer.com and was very pleased. It costed me 150 US$ as I am a goal club member. Keep in mind that I purchased the starter set which includes 1 upper, 1 comfort chassis, all 3 stud sets, and 1 stud key. And since this is a top range boot and is 50$ cheaper than top range predator, I'd say this was a good value.

Comfort- 9.1/10

Not much to say here. Pretty solid with the comfort chassis. The only half-complaint i have is that the comfort chassis may be too bumpy for my foot. Too cushioned I should say. Even though I have wide feet, they seemed to stretch to my foot very well. Actually does feel like a glove.

Performance- 10/10!!!!!!!!!

I have to say probably the sinlge best boot I have ever played in. the passing instep passing is so accurate. The shot with the lace cover is so superb. And most suprisingly, the chipping. It would be hard to count how many times i have succesfully chipped a keeper with these. I can get under the ball so well with these. Very very good performance.

Durability- 9.8/10

No signs of wear of tear of these boots. NO stud or chassis problems at all. NONE!!!!!! I have worn these in the spring and fall with my school, recreation, and club. No damage. They do scuff, but what can you expect from a synthetic boot?!?! The only reason I do not rate them a 10 is because after a while, I got little wrinkles on the upper. But I would have to point it out to you if you saw them. Very durable.

Overall- 9.5/10

I think that .6s are a great boot. Great everything above. If you are impatient and arent good with screwing things into holes, dont buy this boot, it will waste all your money. Otherwise, this is a recommendable boot to everyone, no matter the size/shape of your foot. Most importantly, this boot could enhance your game!! Hehe, lots of smileys make review gooood.

Puma King Exec

Aesthetics: 9.5/10

I really like the simple look to these, its very classy and not gaudy like a lot of boots now days, but still maintains some flair. Also, they have a very nice shape, both looks wise and function wise. The lacing system is well thought out, and I have not had any problems with it, although lately the tounge holder has started to lose some of its effectiveness. Nice little touches as well, such as the logo on the heel, and there are some nice color ways.

Value: 10/10

I bought these boots over a year ago for $125, but you can get them now for under 100$. For that money, they are by far one of the best boots out there. They are comfortable, light weight, durable, and perform exceptionally. I own plenty of more expensive boots, yet these are my favorite. Best for the money by far.

Comfort 9.5/10

I can't say enough about the quality of the leather. It stretches very nicely, gives excellent touch, and is light weight. I have not received a single blister from these boots. They fit nicely, but if you have a wide foot I would not recommend them. Aside from the Nike Brasilian's, these are the most comfortable boot I have played in. The only bad things I have to say are that one stud on the outside of the boot gives a little too much pressure, which can be annoying, and there is not enough ankle support, which can be dangerous and I would like to see that fixed if possible Other than that, you would be hard pressed to find a more comfortable boot.

Performance: 10/10

This boot will out perform any out there for a midfielder (or player who does a lot of running). It is incredibly comfortable. It is very light weight for how comfortable it is. The touch is superb, second only to the V1K and possibly V1 in my opinion. The shape and leather of the boot are excellent for both long and short passing, the control is perfect. I really cant say enough about how well this boot performs.

Durability: 10/10

I have had these boots for over a year, and they have held up remarkably well. I know there have been a lot of complaints with pumas regarding durability, but I haven't even treated these that well and they are still in top shape. Although, I really wish I had put leather food on them regularly as the leather has lost some of its softness. I would definitely suggest treating these with respect.

OVERALL: 9.7/10

These boots are nigh perfect. I have owned many different pairs of boots and have pretty high standards, but these have blown me away. They are light, comfortable, have great touch, and are a good value. The only qualms I have are with that stud I mentioned, and the slightly inadequate ankle support. I would suggest buying these to anyone looking for a new pair of quality boots. I know they get overlooked a lot because of their simple looks and lack of endorsement faces (no ronnie for these), but I would suggest giving them a try.

Puma v1.06 Italy Edition Turf

Aesthetics: 10/10
I adore how these boots look, they were gorgeous out of the box, but after wearing them, the gold is still shiney but toned down abit and in my opinion, they look even better now. They light up the pitch like a beacon . I play when floodlights are on and with white/blue socks so they go well with the kit aswell.

Value: 9/10
Very pricey at £100. But bearing in mind that the boots come with an Italy Home Shirt, all the autographs and stuff. So taking away all the presentation stuff, the boots are probably worth the same amount as a normal v1.06 turf. The difference is you have a better, stronger material on these than on the normal v1.06s and they are not as thin. So in my opinion, they are well worth it. Plus they look great

Comfort: 8/10
I love the fit, snug in the toe and the insole has molded to my foot nicely by just wearing them around the house. But the only problem is to pay all the money and get a size too small would be stupid, so I went for the size 8 which would definately fit me. The only problem is that my heel slides around abit because my sock is quite slippy with the heel of the boot. Also the laces tend to become less tight as the game goes on which is a bit annoying as I like my boots tight.

Performance: 9/10
The boot is great, top class. There is a very large sweet spot because of the side lacing. the studs, short as they are, are as good as my mundial teams', which were huge in comparison. The material is great, it feels slightly like that of a vapor, it is quite stiff, yet lets you feel the ball nicely.

Durability: -/10
Obviously I can't comment on long time durability, only having worn them for their first game today.

Overall: 9/10
A great looking boot, a comfortable boot, a great performing boot. What more can you ask for? As good as my Konstructs? Probably as good. As good as my Mundial Teams, yes, they are that good. I have a wide foot but these are perfect for me, maybe a little too slim but not that noticable. Only downside is I can see myself getting a kicking for looking a little flash .

Pics will follow soon.

Review of the Nomis Spark Silver/Black/Yellow

Aesthetics – 6/10
This is really plain looking boots for me and I don't like the gray color. I would rather like black or white than gray. The other option you can get for spark is yellow cleats, which I think are absolutely disgusting.


Value – 10/10
I live in US, but I bought these from acasports.co.uk for $100, which was totally amazing, but I will only talk about value based on the original price. I gave it 10 because there are several items that come with the boots. You get a shoe bag that kind of looks like the v1.06 bags, but this is bigger. You get second pair of shoe laces and insole. The second insole is, I think, for those who use orthopedic insole or who have flat feet because the insole is completely flat. Isn't this amazing? The price is same as the predator but you get more, much more.

Comfort – 10/10
These are absolutely fantastic boots. I have wide feet, and to explain further about the width of my feet, my feet have a perfect fit with the Nike Air Zoom Total 90 III or IV. Mine are that wide. I wear size 9 US in AZT IIIs or IVs. 9 is the limit for me because 8.5 US hurt the front of my toes. I bought size 8 US for these sparks. When I first tried them on, they are little tight, but little wider and a half size larger than Adidas Predator Pulses size 8 US. You really need to buy half size smaller from Adidas boots for these.

The insoles are amazing also. I never used the flat insole so I can't talk about those ones. The original insole (not the flat ones) are really thick and really soft. They are softer than the poron insoles of AZT IIIs. (AZT IVs do not have enough poron under the insoles. The poron of AZT IVs are same as Vapor IIIs.) I never had a single blister but that could just be me. the insoles are comfortable enough.

These boots have nice stud configuration, so there was no particularly uncomfortable spot from studs for me.

The heel is pretty much the same as Adidas Predator Pulses or Absolutes. They are OK.

The tongue is longer than that of Absolutes. It covers the entire area of the shoe lace.

Performance – 8/10
The performance for these boots are exactly same with other boots of different brands. Other than the fact that they are comfortable, there is nothing amazing from these boots. "The Dry Control Technology" does not work at all. Don't expect the ball to "stick" to the boots, even in completely dry conditions. If Nomis didn't fancy itself with the fancy name "The Dry Control Technology" I would have given the score of 10 for performance.

Durability – 10/10
The boots seem very durable for me, but the durability depends on players, so I won't say more about this.

Overall – 9/10
Highly recommended for any players of any kind of feet. Just don't expect too much from these boots.

Adidas Tunit II F50.7 (Wide Fit)

Aesthetics 9/10
i love the color i got and when the white and black comes out, OMG they are must buy, seriously today boots come in every bloody color but everyone remebers the first time someone bought white boots to training and they coped it, then a month later you all had a pair, well it will be just like this, i love the look

Value 10/10
considering i only bought the upper becuase i had exisiting F50.6's it was only 100US and thats like 100 for a whole new boot!!! i cant think of any other boot that is better value for money because when the F50.8's come out ill be paying 100 dollar for the new upper, yet Vi- will be paying 300US for the new vapor (loser)

Comfort 9/10
i thought the F50.6's where fairly comfortable but these are much more, the heel padding has been reducded to all for more space the laces pull the boot very tight if you like it like that or you can have it rather loose they are about as comfortable as preds iv found maybe a lil more and i used to love the comfort in my manias, my only problem is since the lace system is so versatile you have to do your laces like 3 times to get them the right firmness

Performance 10/10
since the toe box has been reduced the lace cover is now flat they are the best boot i have used. they are light flexable yet still firm and protect your foot and help you get a bit more power into your kick, they are just like vapors but more of a real BOOT.

Durability ??/10
not sure yet, havent played a match in them yet but had over 15 training sessions in them and iv found they are very strong, people have had trouble with tunits in general with the studs stripping and so forth but thats just beucase they are lazy

Overall Score - 9.9/10
Best boot i have ever used, the .1 differece is for when the .8's come out, becuase they will have to be better and im not sure how that is possible

Extra note: because i got the wide fit and not just the standard upper i though i would throw in a little comment about them, they are wider on the ball of your foot and they also seem a little wider towards the arch so if you have ever felt too tight in the arches adidas's WF range is SURPREMO!

Adidas TUNiT F50.6

Aesthetics - 9/10
Looks amazing, stunning design espiecially the dawn blue colourway!

Value - 9/10
£65 I recall, amazing bargain of a price! 3 boots in one!

Comfort - 7/10
To me it was too loose, whenever i kicked the ball it felt like my boot was gonna go into orbit...

Performance - 6.5/10
Not enough grip on London's great surfaces...FAT lace cover not great feel, also a nice boxed toe box which is different from all my beloved vapors.

Durability - ??/10
Not going to have a chance to comment on this, preparing to return....not my taste at all.

Overall - 7/10
Stud tuning is easy but the problem is the slack fit and the rubbish traction.

EDIT: Nanny: I'm not going to spend 300US on a new Vapor... More like around 120US £60 or something around that price.

LOTTO ZHERO GRAVITY


Aesthetics 9/10
This boot will definetly give you compliments from your teammates. Its sleek design looks great especially with the white gold and black colors.

Value 10/10
You might as wel be crazy if you buy this boot for 325 dollars because its definetly not worth it. I got mine for 90 euro of ebay Germany so it was definetly the deal of the century. I would sell them for 200 dollars if it was up to me. Also being able to switch to softground in a matter of seconds(unlike the tunits) is also a major plus.

Comfort 9/10
I give these a 9 out of 10 because these basically feel like vapors but are lighter and break in faster. The first time I wore them they gave me a blister but after the 2nd or 3rd training session they broke in and it felt like you didnt even have your boots on. Its also extremely convienent to never worry about shoe laces.

Performance 8/10
At first these boots dont ave that great of a touch. But once you get used to them your touch increases. The traction that these shoes give is also mediocre, for turf that is, but outside they are as good as any other shoe. So other that the 1-2 day blister period and lack of traction these things are the best.

Durability ?/10
I've had these things for about 2 months now and they are holding up great.

Overall 9.7/10
Get these boots at an affordable price and this is you'll definetly be satisfied.

Adidas Aveiro I FG Black/White/Blue

Aesthetics 9/10 – These boots are gorgeous, they are the original color of the aveiros. The black, white and blue go amazingly well together. They look like the mania but with the improved heel counter of the pulses.

Value 10/10 – Got these boots including first class postage from Australia for £38. A certain sp member got them for me from an outlet then posted them to me. For such a high quality k leather boot this is an outstanding price.

Comfort 10/10 – They require no break in time at all, and I haven’t got a single blister in them, the leather is so soft, makes the air legend feel like sandpaper. The leather moulds almost instantly to my foot and now fits perfectly.

Performance 9/10 – The performance of these boots is outstanding, I can really rip shots in them, the touch is superb and I can get a great feel for the ball. The soleplate is really good; split sole with FG blades the traction is impeccable.

Durability 9/10 – So far after a handful of games they are still in perfect condition, I don’t know how long the leather will stay intact because it is more likely to rip because its so soft

Overall 9.4/10 – An amazing pair of boots, spectacular for the price. Offers all the comfort of the mania but without the shitty rubber ‘elements’ that do nothing.

Lotto Leggenda FG Black/White

Aesthetics - 9/10 They satisfy just what I was looking for - a simple, sleek, and pretty much all black k leather shoe. If you are into the predator type shoes with lots of bells and whistles then they might not be flashy enough for you but there is always the gold/white colorway.

Value - 9/10 I got mine for $160, not the cheapest, but still less than the top end nike's and adidas shoes. For what I have got out of them (playing intensely almost everyday (games and practices) for about 4 straight months) they have held up great. They are well put together and the k-leather is great quality.

Comfort - 8/10 Let me say that the k leather is beautiful. Great ball feel, almost sock like feel to the shoe. I wanted the v1's but my feet were too wide, so these satisfied the need for a sock like shoe. Extremely lightweight. It hurts a little bit more than with some other shoes but I don't think that is a big problem at all. In the beginning I had problems with blisters on my heels but I don't believe that it is a problem with the shoe - just a combination of my weird shaped heels combined with going straight into two-a-day preseason with them never worn before. Now they fit perfectly.

Performance - 10/10 A great touch/speed shoe and all that gimicky stuff (I don't buy into all that but I no you people want to hear it ) The leather is great, they make you feel fast, the traction is fine, really nice ball feel, and my favorite part - sooo lightweight. The remind me of the vapor K's. Definitely recommend them!!

Durability - 8/10 I'm about to replace them, but apart from the normal rubbing that you get on the end of the toe on leather shoes, and some worn down sections on the insole they are in perfectly decent condition. To improve the life of these shoes use leather food on them before you use them for the first time and then frequently after that.

Overall - 9/10 One of my favorite shoes through the years - I had never worn anything other than adidas before these and was pleasantly surprised. Leather is great, very lightweight and comfortable. Great ball feel etc. etc. P.S. Run 1/2 size big, I wear US 10 in nike's and adidas but a 9.5 is the right size for me in the Leggendas.
