I having trouble deciding on which boot to get next season. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Mizuno Wave Shinken, Nike AZT 90 Supremacy and the Adidas Absolute. BTW I can't try on the mizuno because I don't know anywhere that sells them so if I was an 11 uk in legends what size should I get.
Any help would be appreciated

My friend has the Mizunos and they are class, very unique and great quality. I think the sizing should be the same, i never heard of running smaller or narrower. He is a great crosser in them, and they felt nice, seems like the protection is good. Some people say the Supremacy isn't bad either, but i would wait for more colorways before deciding.

Well I'm looking for a light boot and i know all three are pretty light. I also play on the wing so I also need to be able to cross it and take dead balls, and I have had some trouble not being able to cross the ball well with AZT 90 III so I wondering if it is easier to cross it with the Supremacys?

They are called boots. Its the real word for them

Cleats is the word used for Gridiron and is now generally accepted as the American term for football boots.
The reason they are called boots goes back to near enough the beginning of football. Men played football in their work boots, but when the weather was bad they slipped alot and it became difficult to play football during poor weather. Metal tacks were added to the bottom of the boots (to increase the grip) although these weren't allowed during official matches. Then these were replaced with leather plugs which were allowed to be used during matches. And modern say football boots stems from this

The Mizuno Wave Shinken runs true to size, so go with your current size.

have you guys seen on the shinken SG version they dont use metal studs! odd because on the other boots they use metal studs.
i asked this question in the your boots topic and it didnt get answered so ill try here..whats the difference between the mizuno neograde and morelia wave? on PDS it says the neogrado is k leather so its a good boot, but theres a big price difference..
