Think it's about time to get a new pair of footy boots. Have been looking around and have my eye on a few different pairs.
Wanted to know what those of you who play are wearing at the moment and why. How comfy they are, what they cost etc
Thank ye
I used to have to change laces
> about 5 times a year, due to them getting dirty and setting hard.
You didn't think of cleaning them instead?
They were the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. They weren't perfect to play in, but I had the for 4 years because they were so damn nice.
I have recently ordered a pair of the white cheap version of the mercurial vapours now...
EDIT:
I just don't buy high end boots OK? They're just a rip off.
But here's the link:

I agree with Georgey though.
Adidas boots I find are far more rigid and uniform. Nike's tend to have flexy shapes and boots that are very soft and slightly thinner.
To this extent, I agree that Adidas boots in general are more suited to defenders, unlike Nikes for strikers and wingers.
For fit perhaps, but for logical selection, tacklers and hoofers want Adidas, strikers and dribblers want Nike.
Technically, but not always true. Many passers prefer Adidas, then again they tend to be centre mids.
EDIT:
I'm a defensive player, but Adidas boots don't fit me so...
If you're hoofing it up the pitch, you could be wearing anything, really. They wouldn't choose adidas specifically for wildly flailing at the ball.
Also, why would adidas boots be used more for tackling?
> more rigid
PS.
That reminds me:
Kaka > Pirlo
:D
Nike might actually have the slight edge - because they're more flexible, there's less chance of twisting an ankle, as your foot can flex as oposed to suddenly snapping.
Meh, whatever
