I just recieved my Adidas Predator Pulse 2 Dragon TRX FG, and they are size 8 us, they are very irritating on me, on the sense that they are tight, what on earth could i do to make em even a tiny bit bigger. I am wondering if its just a thing with new boots. My previous pair of boots were adidas WC 7.5us and they are now almost impossible to play in, i can still get em on tho. weird. I think i have read about showering with em on, but just to be safe, right now they are in their box, filled with pairs of socks. I am very depressed at the moment, some good words would be...enlightening to say the least.

THey'll stretch, give em a game or 2 and they'll feel fine. It'd be a good idea to practise with em b4 your games tho to wear them in

yeah you just have to break them in..take them out..juggle..run some..you can do the shower trick in them to get a little more stretch..use the search theres been tons of topics on the showering stuff..it works

I was actually one of the people who did it over a year ago with my vapor k. I guess it does work, but I do not really like the boots that much anyway. But the best way to mold them is to just wear the vapors heaps and they break in. It will not work that well with synthetics, its mainly aimed at leather to soften it up and the mold. Remember if you do it to make the water very warm and to wear a sock. Then get out of the bath and to sit in them for 5 minutes then carrefully take them off. Let them dry in a natural place, with no direct sunlight or under a heater.
Hope that helps
I can say that this really does work.
Here's what I did (a bit different):
- Wear socks
- Stand in your bath tub for about 5 minutes. This is when you're really molding it to your foot. As your standing up, this is how you will normally be using the boots, thus the form will be the right one (as opposed to sitting down, where your foot will be higher up and less wide. You can easily test it out by taking your weight off and putting it on a foot.).
- Get out of the bath, put some sort of clothe under your boots and stand 5 minutes (same reason as above).
The rest is the same.
HTH,

That sounds smarter and is more justified than all the other "showering" threads and posts, i will surely do this by these directions if all else fails. Thanks a ton.

its just getting used to it
but you have to like play regualrly if u play like once a month, then it maybe there might be no difference in the tightness, but if u play regularly u wont start to notice the difference and its tightness

Hi everyone...
I'm a new member...
i've got a sizing question as well... not sure starting a new topic or not...
I got a pair of new blue Pulses (US 9), and find out my right foot is half a size larger than my left.
My left foot fits really well, but really tight for my right.. apparently my toes are squeezed together.
I'm pretty sure it'll be better after broken in, but will it stretch for half a size?
Thx.

The shoe will stretch and be a bit more comfortable then when you first got them but not quite 1/2 a size.

Wear them for more than 5 minutes when you get out of the bath. They should dry while you're wearing them because that's when the leather will shrink.
