Football boots. What are you wearing?

[DeanR32]

I fancy a couple more seasons before my body packs up on me, and I'm thinking about boots.

I used to swear by Puma Kings, and had a pair of predators and copas, but thought I'd find out what you lot swear by.

[Challo]

I wear Kasier 5 moulds, and a pair of older Umbro Speciali's for winter wet pitches.

I'm 32 and prefer comfort and real leather.

[Pique]

I loved Diadoras as they are comfy and well padded - ideal for my 'robust' Sunday league defending. Struggle to find them though.

Currently wearing Pumas for grass, and Adidas for 4G - but the Adidas are too narrow and I keep turning my ankles in them so will look for something else.

Wearing Predators that must be about 8 years old. Still can't find anything I like as much.

Like you I've always been into Puma Kings. Moulded's especially. So comfortable.

Tried copas. They were ok but not a patch on the kings.

The only boot I've found that compares to kings for comfort and looks is the Mizuno Morelia Professional Model.



Terrific boots. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Didn't have you down as a footballer from your fruit bowl posts GG!

I do have the occasional (large) takeaway blow out, but im not overweight in the slightest.




Typical footballers legs I'm afraid.

When I did play Predators or Puma Kings both were great. I've still got a pair of the original predators knocking about somewhere lol

[Patch1875]

Never found anything better than my Puma Dalgleish Gold's

[hbzboy]

Adidas world cups and dubbing. Nothing else required.

Copa Mundial FTW.

[Ruskie]

Copa Mundials for Astro and World Cups for wet ground.

I have finished playing now though at 32 after snapping my cartilage 9 weeks ago

[DeanR32]

Cheers lads

I'm 33 and I've developed a bit of a belly now, so reckon I've lost a bit of pace now.

How old are you lot?

But the feet of a netballer.

[GALLARDOGUY]

What do netballers feet look like?

OP, I'm in my thirties too, hence my abject hatred of any football boots in any colour other than black!

[anonymous-user]

47, snapped my Achilles last season, so a bit nervous this year. Only need right knee Cruciate and then I've done the full set...

[gregd]

Adidas Copa Mundials for hard ground
An old pair of Adidas Profi (basically World Cups with blue leather and a bigger tongue) for soft
Adidas Mundial Team for Astro

I can't do too much about the dodgy knees and ankles now I'm 42 but I've still got the footwear all sorted.

Amen to that.
I need sunglasses when I pop into my local sports shop.

[epom]

Until I can get a pair of Predator Mania's the old ones not the new pretend ones, I've got these. Absolutely love em, leather but incredibly light. Best find of mine in a long long time.

[fiatpower]

I have some puma kings for soft ground and a pair of black Nike boots with blades (not sure which ones) for hard ground
