Hmmm, I'm wondering about the F50's. Usually I prefer as much leather as possible on the boot. The F50's certainly look very sexy, which (shallow as it sounds) is important to me, but I wouldn't compromise performance or quality for appearance. Is the surface really that susceptible to damage...

So we're agreed then: he got owned.

Actually, the video is Cashley getting his studs planted in the turf and totally wrecking his knee

Reminds me of Ashley Cole's self-injury. Not very pleasant viewing...

I've heard horrible things about that brand...

:eek: Isn't that a bit drastic? After all, it was just a knee injury Nice; not often that you see a keeper/forward :)

Thanks for the boot info Vinnie, it's always good to hear about people's playing experiences with boots as opposed to website reviews. That's fair enough, and I'm not saying that you should completely cut protein out of your meal, since protein is a daily dietary requirement. But the...

Sounds good. What position do you play?

7 coats? Dang, wouldn't that slow you down because of the extra weight? :D As for the team I play for, it's just a social competition with my mates, nothing highly competitive. But for match preparation, I'm big into nutrition and hydration. Actually, I wrote up a document for my teammates with...

Hehe, yeah it'd probably be a good idea to de-lace the shoes if you don't want them to end up like mine did. My boots were pretty old at the time, so I didn't really mind. If the boots are still somewhat new, you'll want to use something other than spraypaint, because it starts to crack in...

Yep, I'd used the spraypaint for something else, and still had about half a can left. I took one look at my boots, and thought "why the hell not?" :D The only thing you have to be careful of is the laces. I painted my laces fully, but the spraypaint made them stiff, and I had to play with them...

They look like nice boots, but for me they totally ruined it with: 1) That cheesy R10 signature that's in about 5 places on the boot. 2) The unnecessary red stitching that really doesn't fit in with the rest of the colourway. 3) The gold signature and gold sole design on the white colourway...

No, see, that's what gives me the edge. They expect me to try and nutmeg 3 players dribbling out of defence because I'm wearing pretty boots, but it totally catches them off guard when I hoof it up the field :D Seriously though, I just don't like to be wearing the same generic stuff as everyone...

I'm sure they don't, but the way you scuff your toes on the turf every time you go to kick the ball can't be good for your boots :P I was gonna comment on the red ones, because they're pretty hot too.

Hehe, I know what you mean. My style of defending is absolutely no-nonsense, but I'm quite partial to the flashy stuff. I've got my eye on the bumblebee yellows. A lot of people would probably hate the colour, but they're dynamite to me :D

Hey, thanks a lot man. The new F50+ look pretty damn slick... very tempting stuff, though I don't think I'd ever buy those shiny white boots, just because it's such a PITA to keep them looking that way. The retro boots are pretty nice too; I've always liked the classic look. As for Adidas/Nike...

Thanks for the info mate. What do you think of the price btw? Well, I'm a defender (though I do love to shoot from long range given the opportunity), but I don't believe in position-specific boots (although Nike wants us to believe that forwards wear Vapours). I got the old f50+ as a gift...

I'm looking to get a new pair of boots. I'm working these days so I'm willing to spend a bit more. What do you think of USD $145/GBP £75 for Predator Absolute TRX FG? The picture below is the SG version.

Because everyone's already posted the boots they have, and people don't buy new ones that often

Yes yes, but they're new to me :) and they were free! So i'm not complaining ;)
