    World Cups and the above are both great , in this weather Id go with WCs though.

    I wear Mercurial Vapors myself, they are very comfy indeed

    What are you're thoughts on the Adidas kaisers there half the price of the world cups but are they any good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    They are a cheaper verison of the World Cups/Copa Mundials. Never worn them myself but i think the leather isnt as good and a few other minor differences. Never saw much difference myself with them and World Cups.

    I know from wearing a pair of Preds to a pair of Absolados (the cheaper verison of preds), that they arent as comfortable and it might be the case with the Kaisers

    Just on Copa Mundials and I've worn them for years, Does anyone else be susceptible to ankle problems from time to time?

    Maybe its just me

    Thanks for yer help
    I kinda want to get these http://www.lifestylesports.com/en/restofworld/gaa-boots/adults-nike-premier-firm-ground/invt/13219013 but there not in sg would it make a big difference ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Well it can be hazardous playing on grass in this weather with mouldies. SG would make staying on your feet a lor easier. If you play on Astro id say the Mouldies are fine though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 278 ✭✭rvpalldway


    Ya ill stick with the sg what are they like playing on astro not great im guessing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Can be hard on the soles of your feet, i find my feet killing me after being stuck playing in them on astro.

    I know Puma Kings do a hybrid of SG/HG boots if that helps

    Puma King Mixed sole

    There is a version of the mundials with a combination of studs and mouldies as well


  • Registered Users Posts: 278 ✭✭rvpalldway


    where could i get them?


  • Registered Users Posts: 160 ✭✭Midfield9


    Blackouts.ie
    Seen this on twitter before where they add soft ground studs to your copas. Personally i wouldn't do that until i seen a pair that were done and that they lasted and were comfortable.

    I am keeping an eye out for flashy premium boots that a shop cant shift and might then try the blackout if there's value in that although I'm sorted this year for boots already

    last 3 pairs of preds (FG - blades) ive picked up on prosoccerdirect for less than €70, wear them year round without issue in soft ground or astro. Also have a pair of SG preds that are about 4 years old but they barely get used


  • Registered Users Posts: 27 Skylined.94


    Wouldn't blame you going for the SG boots but the new Warrior range are reasonably priced and seem like good quality.

    Could be the end of a range maybe - load of adidas pred were down to very cheap on mandmdirect - I'm ordering my pair tomorrow when I get back over.

    anyone have any idea for ideal boots for big feet? I wear a size 13 runner but I have to buy nike ones because Adidas are a narrow fit and don't fit me. I was looking to buy Copa Mundial (online) but I'm afraid if I do they will be too small. What do ye recommend? Are Puma Kings a narrow fit too?

    p.s What is the cheapest place to buy them? Seen kings on gaastore.com for 75 and copa mudials for 100. Any where cheaper then that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Always found that adidas and puma were narrower and Nike was that bit wider.
