i'm looking for new soccer cleats. i've been looking at the puma v1.06 i FG since it's so light weight, but in the reviews there is a lot of people that have had them fall apart from using them about 20 times. anyone used them or have other suggestions?

I've had predators for the last 5 years and they are fucking sick. Ive ripped the front off all of them but each has lasted at least a highschool and club season so thats all you need.

Adidas Copa Mundials. Good enough for the legends of old (Der Kaiser and such) and still the legend and the cleat all other will forever be compared to

dude, you've just gotta go to a shop and try on all the different brands out there and figure out what fits the best and is most comfortable. the pumas your looking at are probably pretty comfy, but as stated before, they will probably fall apart pretty fast. as for the vapors, they are nice, but my friend has gone through so many pairs because they are only made to last a couple games (thats what a nike rep told me). adidas are nice, but you really need to just go and try them all on. then buy the ones that fit the best, not look the dopest...good luck.

ps-i personally rock the predators for outdoor; for indoor i've got the total 90s...

Uhhh I'd say it depends on what position you play and what type of player you are. I wouldn't recommend wearing Vapors or Puma 1.08's as a central mid-fielder or defender. I've got LASER's right now and I really like them. I also liked the Legends (though the Kang leather will stretch) and I liked Vapor 1's a lot back in the day.

Then there's Adidas, you can't really go wrong with the Copa Mundial's and the Predator's and F50's seem to be a popular choice with pros, I haven't tried either though. Also, there's always the more classic style shoes such as the Lotto Primato (I absolutely loved these), Valsport and Diadora's, that are nice. The new Umbro's look legit too.

I'm not sure how serious about shoes you are but if you don't need an expensive top of the line shoe I'd stay away from Nike or Adidas. When it comes down to it it's what you feel the most comfortable with. If you have any other questions just PM me.

I love my Total 90 Supremacy's.  But really, try a bunch of stuff on.  Just because it fits my foot or some other random guys foot doesn't mean it fits yours.

Those do look pretty legit with the heel support and the seemless stitching. They're shape looks like it would make for a good touch on the ball too. 

Like I said, when it comes down to it it's how comfortable you are with the shoe (which you seem to be). You should also kick a ball around in the store a little to see how they feel with a ball. Also, I like my shoes being very tight, I got some kang leather Legends in 11 and they stretched and I don't like playing with them anymore. Now I'm playing in 10 LASERs and my Lotto's (before I lost them) were size 9.5 or something. So I don't know about others but I definitely like going .5-1.5 shoe size smaller than regular kicks depending on the brand. Hope that helps.

I've gone through a shitload of cleats and this is what I've pretty much come down to
-Predators are a great cleat, especially for a person with a widefoot.
-F-50's fucking blow. They strip extremely easily because the chassis' are cheap as fuck. The only good pair of F-50's were the first gen one's. I still have a pair, and they're the shit.
-Copa's are a great cleat. They're not too expensive. The kangeroo is awesome and serves for a great touch, no matter what position. They also stretch so you can plan on keeping them for a while if need be.
-Vapors are a nice cleat, and are extremely lightweight. Just watch out for blisters.
-Puma v.106's are very light like the vapors, but are a little more succseptable(sp?) to ripping. I had a pair of the grass one's, loved them, but they ripped in game 4 in Disney :(
-I now have a pair of umbros, and they keep together very nicely, but the touch seems a little funky at times.
That's pretty much all I can think of as of now. O yea, and for the person up the page a little bit who posted a picture of the adidas sg mania's. There is almost a zero percent chance of you getting a pair. They came out probably around 6-8 years ago. They are the sickest cleat ever, and I have a pair of the sg's in size 9 in white :)

O for sure man. We made it to regional finals last year for highschool, and should be doing pretty good this year as well(minor claim?). I'm super pumped though.

Yeah my HS team went to semi-state finals for the past two years. I'm not gonna lie I bawled my eyes out on my last game. I couldn't even play the whole second half of the season due to surgeries. Just take a piss on the field of your last game and it'll make you feel a little better.

Yeah, I reallyyyyy want to find some Predator Mania's. The newer Predators don't really appeal to me as much.

i love my predators. they're last years and they were the best cleat ever. correction, loved. they fell apart after a year. the entire bottom heal ripped out and the side separated from the shoe. i was heartbroken. i heard of that happening with the cheaper ones but not the match play ones. i tried to take them back but they were like nah you can tell you used them too much.

anyways i just got a pair of reebok cleats last week. and to tell you the truth i don't even know what they're called but they are AMAZING. i tried them on not expecting much, but holy fuck they feel so good. they fit my foot perfectly, nice and really tight and have a really great touch.

so i'd say go to a local store and try on a bunch until you find one you love. kinda like ski boots.
