I think the best boots are World Cups and Copa Mundial which have been going for over 20 years and still rival the top boots today. They are lighter than most boots 240g each compared to Predator Pulses 300g and the Vapors are 200g so not far off there. I am also a fan of F50s as i have also had Predators and prefered Playing in F50s. Vapors maybe incredibly light but the upper is extremely thin not helping when tackling or trying powerful shots. I am also a big fan of Mizuno Morelia Waves and am getting a pair in the post soon- They are almost as light as vapors but have a thicker upper- good for shots and feel etc. What do you think???
I think if adidas decided to vary the color choice for the copa mundials, world cup, then they would become immensely popular....
i agree with that - they varied the choice a bit with the samba's and if there was a color choice i liked, i know id get a pair of copas. i also thought the same with adidas and the predator... i got tired of seeing red on every single predator, i wanted different colors(which is supposed to happen this year.) if i could get any boot, i'd get the adidas accelerators(just plain accelerators - no predator) or nike air rio zoom. i've struggled to find any, and when i do i get outbid on ebay.
I think this poll pretty much reflects what people think of adidas boots. I'm writing this on sunday... However, by monday Nike marketing guys will have discovered this poll and than "suddenly" Nike boots will get more votes! Perhaps I'm a bit paranoid
I have: Adidas Predator Manias- 9/10 Adidas Predator Pulse- 9/10 Adidas World Cup- 8/10 Adidas Copa Mundial- 8/10 Adidas F-50- 9/10 Nike Talaria- 7/10 Nike Mercurial Vapors- ?/10 - Haven't worn them yet Mizuno Morelia Waves- 8.5/10 Umbro XAI III- 7/10
I wrote this before: "I think this poll pretty much reflects what people think of adidas boots. I'm writing this on sunday... However, by monday Nike marketing guys will have discovered this poll and than "suddenly" Nike boots will get more votes!" Strange: vapors score highest in the Blister-poll as well, they can't be the best.
this is how I view it... I have had two pairs of vapors...and they gave me blisters on my heels so bad that it bled for days...but I also like these shoes very much...after my heels scarred and they toughen up...they were very comfortable...and the ball control I have and my shot is excellent...idk...i see it as no pain no gain? lol
At the moment my favourites are my F50s. I'm probably picking up some Miadidas Pulses next season but at the moment I'm very happy with my F50s. If I had a small gripe it would be the way they take on water but apart from that they're great.
I voted other.... Favorite boot of all time is the Accelerator Predetor.... Best shoe that I ever owned..... I have had Brazils, copas, Manias, Mizuno cup (older shoe), lottos, and currently AZT90 II. Accelerator kicked ass
adidas predator precision scored goels with them and could get loads of curl, on the ball scored from a corner with em.
Yes, Adidas Pred Precision gets my vote too. The most comfortable boot I have worn. Felt really solid. Doesn't have cheap plastic bits like the current Preds!
Adidas F50. I'm playing some of my best football in these. Pred precision very close second. Man babies were sweet in blue.
I would say that F-50s are the comfiest althogh not when they are wet, Pulsew have the most power, Vapors, World Cups, Mizuno Morelia Waves are best for speed and Puma and Adidas do the ost stylish boots.
Agreed, absolutely. What's with all you hotshots who pick a boot on style? Makes me sick. An ounce of performance is worth a metric ton of style. Copa Mundials 1 and Aveiros 2
Pantofola d'Oro are the best boots out there. They smoke every other brand in terms of fit, feel, and quality of construction. If anyone cares to know why, I'll be happy to tell you. (I'm new to this site and not sure quite how it works yet!)
