hey guys,

ok, adidas-best are best ones (maybe some pumas, too), but i think there is no1, who talked about the new x-boot in this forum. i have them since last monday and they are almost perfect for me, because i have wide feet (couldnt get into v3 06). i weared them a few times, but i didnt want to take their virginity on muddy hard ground (game got also cancelled this weekend). so, is there anyone out there, who can tell me something about the shoes or give some advice or stuff like that!?

well, i've heard that they're good boots, but thats about it. don't know what you mean about advice, but you should break them in if possible before playing in them.

also, does anyone know the difference between xboot and xbootii? to me, they look exactly the same (specification and appearence wise)

the hel counter is improved on the IIs as they hav the new wishbone technology

mmh, sorry..but i dont understand. what do u mean with "break them in"?? - but i meant advice like that (=what to do b4 using the 1st time etc.)

what does the wishbone do?

it supports on the one hand the anatomical (??) form or fit of the foot and on the other the contact to the ground.

like wear them around the house, jog on the grass, sleep in them

since they're kangaroo leather, the boot should form to your foot. then it'll give you a better touch/control on the ball. and the jogging will make sure that the sole of the shoe will better fit the bottom of your foot, so its more comfortable to run around in

I had them about 6 months ago, and really liked them, but I felt the studs were too small. When conditions were wet they caused me to slip every once in a while. For a better fit I often wear new boots in the shower and then let them dry. Once they're dry I put leather softner on them and they have an amazing form to your foot.

Hi, I was wondering if the x-boot ii is made in italy?

i can tell you that it looks like they copied from adidas power pulse technology

^^ it has nothing to do with powerpulse. its cushioning.

they arent. on the lil piece of paper, its said, that they are "made in china". i think the ceramic k-leather is from italy or made in italy



atm its cushioning, right . but maybe there are some umbro-people around here, that can tell us, if there is coming sth like the powerpulse for the umbros!?
i'd love it ^^

my friend is gettin em

hey...i really like those a lot...and I'm a huge Umbro fan...nver had any trouble with their products....how do they fit? wat wld u compare them to?

its difficult to compare them with other shoes. i wrote in another thread that ive tried the king exec boots in my fathers shop. i would say they fitted a bit better because they are a bit smaller (but really just a little bit). the only prob was, that he has just got them as SG and i needed FG (i had air zoom nike at august and i hurted my feet extremly -.-...they arent healthy yet). and he hasnt got any other good FGs (just absolado, but i looked for a better one). well, and the x-boot was the last boot he was getting for the back-season (?? dont know, how the second half of the season is called in engl.) and i tried them and they fit very good. as i said, i have big feet and therefor they are awesome. i hadnt any boot that you could compare to them (just got predator maniac and pulsion, but the leather got very hard/strong after 1 year...).

so, the umbro is the best fitting boot, ive ever owned, but maybe i would prefer king exec for my feet...

PS: lets kill nike ...the fg-studs of the air zoom 90 even pressed and hurted my feet on muddy soft grass ground...i hate them, hate them, hate them... i just gave them back to my father for querying (??) them at nike.
