Apart from the physical differences with the extra stripes on the Talaria and what-not, how are the boots different?

I can get Vapor for $140 or Talaria for $80.

Tell me how a Vapor is better than a Talaria...

I'd say that the difference is that the quality of the shoe is different but they're both mostly the same shoe except for the stripes. Thats weird.

The weight is different the vapor's are lighter than the talaria's

The weight difference is actually 0.3 oz so I don't foresee that as a problem. If 0.3 oz slows anyone down they must not be very fast in the first place.

that is true but was just stating that there was a weight difference.

There is no Gold Talaria.

Vapors are made of better material, so therefore their touch is better, along with their free kicking ability. The talarias do not have the same arch support as the vapors do, and are also made for those with a pointed toes, while vapors can support a little wider of a foot.

Just go with vaps, but if you need them for next season, just wait it out, they should go on sale as soon as the vap III come out.

the vapors are diff material as they said and the weight and the design and the talaria is like the predator absolion if u know what i mean
