Copa Mundial replacements?

zappb

I've been using the same football boots for years -the addidas Copa Mundials, and now they've started to tear.

Went into Arnotts today to replace them with another pair of Copa's and although they had the World Cup brand (basically the same boot as the Copa Mundials but with studs) I didn't recognise much else.

The Copa Mundial's are like wearing a pair of slippers, they are light and you have a fantastic touch in them, great feel of the ball.

I did notice lots of those silver/plasticy type of football boot that cost upwards of 120 and saw some for 200euro.

I need some advice because i've been away from the scene for awhile,

what boots would you guys recommend?

What is the deal with those silvery plastic type of boots? Are they better? Is price something to throw into the equation - i.e. nice silvery boots for 200euro - is it just fashion or are they a better design?

if you like nice soft light leather boots puma are the way to go, addidas and nike seem obsessed with plastics these days.

Very comfy.

What do you think of these "Converted Copas"??? Haven't used them but they look good.http://www.convertedcopas.com/index.html


I had a pair of Puma King Moulded last year for the hard ground and were very comfortable http://i15.ebayimg.com/04/i/08/01/f2/03_2.JPG

I only used the Puma King for the summer (hard ground) and had a pair of Adidas Predator Blackouts for the winter (soft ground)......also really comfortable boots!http://i7.ebayimg.com/01/i/07/80/7d/93_1.JPG

Unfortunatley I ain't playing anymore:mad:

I used Cops mundials for hard ground and then switched to the world cup when it was p*ssin rain. I've had probably a hundred pairs of boots and these are the best.

Lotto are also quite comfy and cheaper than adidas.
