Best football boots

Mars Bar

A young lad in 6th class here did a project for the Young Scientist of the Year Awards about football boots and how they affect you. He interviewed GAA players, rugby players and soccer players. He won an award for it alright.

He damaged, quite seriously, one of the ligaments in his knee when he was in 4th or 5th class and it was due to his boot getting caught in the ground.

I've always bought Adidas but have never bought a "real" pair of boots. Always the knock off, €25 ones (kids size ftw!).

Got these for the new football season:



Cost me €2 with a €20 voucher!

Bought these ones to store away for when they are needed, €19.99:




I've been wearing white boots since I was very young. Not going changing now!

Ended up with a pair of these got them last week only pair with my size,
was thinking hoping it would'nt rain all week,
would I still be ok wearing these in the wet or would I be all over the place as they are FG.

Adidas Absolado X FG

They'll be fine even in softer ground.

Fact is, unless we have a complete torrent for weeks over here, the pitches are generally so bad, that they are still really hard, even when its been lashing rain for days.

Unless the pitch is a complete quagmire (in which case it will probably be called off anyway) they will be perfect.

I've used my FG pred's (I linked them above) for just over a season now, through hail, rain, sleet, snow and scorching (in Ireland lol) sun, and never had a problem with grip.

Mars Bar - in fairness, I would never advise anyone to purchase 'knock off' versions of boots. You never know what sort of quality you're getting.

I hear ya, I've tried proper Nike ones and they nearly destroyed my feet. Went back to the old reliables. No blisters makes Mars Bar .

I usually get a year out of them too.

they aren't knock off versions, they are kids size. they are just designed for smaller lighter people.

she is a girl, they fit, she weighs a lot less than a male, they will work fine for her.

Thats fair enough, but the original post would suggest 'knock-off' versions...

Well, to be fair to Dublin_Gunner, I did say knock off versions coz I thought they were. The material does be more plastic-y compared to the ones you pay €80-90 for. I thought they were "knock off" versions.

Yay for kids sizes though!
