What is everyone's favorite pair or product line?

I'll start it off. I've used Adidas Predators since middle school. I tried Nike Vapor and Puma Kings(I liked them, but they were my first good cleats).

Here are my current cleats that I still have from HS

I've been wearing Mercurials for a couple of years, and love them. I feel like I strike the ball better in those than anything else I've ever worn.

On BRSA's splotchy grass covered, pot-hole filled concrete "fields", they destroy my feet, so I'm looking for something else to wear when the fields are really dry.

I got a pair of these:



...at Dick's for 80% off of retail, so I figured I'd give them a shot. I went to break them in yesterday. They feel better, but I feel like I have to learn to strike the ball all over again.

Isn't saying boots just a way for an unathletic, spoiled white kid to try to sound more European?

Very good point hendi. I wear boots when I go hiking. I wear cleats to play soccer.

Predators have been a gimmick shoe since they changed the style in the late 90's. All the extra shite on the outside serves no purpose.

Copa's for the great outer true kangaroo leather.
Mercurial's for the weight.

Think what you want, but when I played regularly, I could put the ball through a pin hole with them. Maybe if you're a defender, yes. But if you played a lot of long balls and took free kicks and corners like I did, they were pretty solid. Our HS season was in the winter and the field was always soaked, the inserts helped a lot with control, no question about it.

Nothing like making assumptions about someone you've never met. Not a good point Hendo.

Copas. I don't need all that other flashy bullshite.

Eta: the cheap-o versions of the preds, mercurials, lotto & joma are for mexicans. Copa mundials are actually a bit pricey.

I'm normally a fan of the copas, but I just picked up a pair of these. They are great shoes. In fact, they might be the most comfortable cleats I have ever worn.

CTR Maestri II for those who are wondering. Baby Bradley, Donovan, Gooch, and Lichaj have all worn them, just to name a few.

Outside: Copa Mundial
Inside: Sambas

Bonus: Bravas (outdoor only). Sturdy and cheap.

I've always used Copas and Diadora's. Diadora makes the best boots for the money (besides Copas) IMO and it's not even close.
