What boots do you rock?

Two sites I like to use:
http://www.soccerbible.com/ (this is the greatest site for cleats in general)
http://www.soccercleats101.com/reviewscores/ (very simple layout, I like this site because it allows you to quickly see things like the weight of the cleat, the original and current price, but the rating system can be kind of general to a degree).

Believe me, I'm with you. I almost turned my back on them in favour of CTRs, was about to checkout of an online store with them selected but I couldn't do it. Instantly turned around and bought blackout adipures

Wearing these atm. Basically went to the nearest footy store looking for cleats. Wanted Lottos. Apparently the place doesn't carry them anymore. Would have ordered Lottos but I had games to play and one of my cleats after a little over two years of use was literally ripped just about in half. To the point where I felt the ground with my socks when I ran.

Looked for a relatively cheap pair of boots. Picked these up for around $50 I believe. After Lottos I like Adidas tbh, and it said kangaroo leather, so I wore them, felt comfortable. Checked off my 3 must haves: under $100, kangaroo leather, and comfortable, so I picked them up.

I like them.

Never been one to spend too much on a boot. Real waste of money imo.

What boots do you think are the best for an attacking midfielder that most of the time passes the ball, and dribbles; and occasionally shoots from long range (knuckle balls)?

I honestly found the Tiempos to hold me down in the midfield. Keep in mind that I only stay away from Adidas because they don't agree with the shape of my feet.

I had the adipure, they helped me with passing and dribbling greatly, but, sometimes the shots weren't great.

It's all preference. By that description Tiempos/Adipures for comfort, price and durability. Predators/CTRs for technology. You probably want to stay away from 'speed' boots like F50s/Vapors. This is all just my opinion of course.

Maybe the new CTR's are better, however I was very unhappy with the pair I bought...

Yeah, I have the vapor. They can be great for dibbling but are not very comfortable, also are bad for passing.

Also, what do you mean by technology exactly; as in for different kinds of shots, etc.?

My guess is that he is referring to the features of the boot, i.e., the CTR360's have the passing pods on the sides of them.

Ah, I see, thanks. I just looked up the nike tiempo, they are the ones that I had before; they are the best boots that I tried to date; there is one problem though, shooting on the nike tiempo II was the same as adipure. Are the new ones (Nike tiempo legend IV) good with taking long shots?

I don't thing I've played in the new ones. I presume they would have the same issue. I never noticed the shooting to be an issue (I figured I was the problem) - I play CM, so it was never really an issue for me.

I made my mind, I am getting the Tiempo legend IV. Thanks for the help guys

Spoiler:

I have been looking over the current crop of boots out as I am looking to retire my Nike Total 90 Laser II's finally after about 5 years.

Now with the Laser line being discontinued I must look to another model.

I have narrowed my search down to Hypervenom Phantoms, Puma EvoPower 1's and Adidas Nitrocharges are in with a late shout.

I thought I wanted the Hypervenoms without a doubt, but after reading many reviews on the Puma's and literally not a bad thing to say about them I am leaning towards them these decisions ffs

I have last year's Nitrocharge and I really do like them a lot. They pack a good punch in the boot and don't feel too soft or unsupportive like mercurials or F60's. They also aren't that heavy so if that's what you are looking for go get em!

i wear the Nike Vapor lites......

I'm thinking about getting those same pumas. I Wanna go against the trend of seeing nikes and adidas on the pitch.

I have literally heard nothing but good things about the Puma's, them and the Hypervenoms are apparently 1-2 when it comes to boots this year.

Still a Lotto fan/hippie

Not wearing them atm though

On the less flashy end of the scale, these are also sexy...ffs i am making this harder on myself to choose lol

I have moved onto these for the last few months and they are just buttery smooth:

I wore Umbro's back in the day, went through 2 pairs in one season toe kept separating from sole plate....never bought a pair of umbros again

Hey guys, was hoping you could recommend a good pair of indoor shoes for me

I'm currently using this:

Spoiler:

I really like them but it's worn out now. If it helps, I usually play as a RB and I use this for the gym as well.

I would recommend going with Adidas Samba Classic shoes. You can never go wrong with those shoes
