i outgrew my cleats and im starting center mid for my varsity team in the fall and i'm looking for either the vapors or adizero's. I've heard good things about both but if someone has had experience with the cleats it would be appreciated if you could tell me the pros and cons.

back in high school i got the original vapors (a year or two after they were out so they were cheaper), but they were the most amazing soccer shoe i ever wore. i imagine they have only improved since then

i think the Nike ones are a lot more expensive no? i think adizeros are 200 and any of the good nike ones are 300 or 400 right? the nike's might be better cause they're 200 dollars more. i have adidas ones and i like them. not adizeros though, f30's. wasn't ready to drop 200 on cleats. i might when i destroy these.

It's true, soccer was invented by European women to give them something to do while their husbands were in the kitchen. Just like hacky sack was invented by dirty hippies to make them feel like they were at least good for something.

Get the Adizero's. Lighter than vapors, and they will last a ton longer. My vapors are already starting to fall apart after a month.

I would say neither. Get yourself a sturdy shoe that will last a will and is comfy. From my experience with those two cleats neither of them fit very well with my feet and were not comfortable AT all.

I have always worn Nike so I would say vapor, plus the shape of the boot is sick, but I hear adidas are by far more comfortable.

I haven't followed cleats in a while, but I think the adizeros are natural (kangaroo?) leather, and vapors synthetic. When I played, I abhorred synthetic materials, so I would say adizeros off that alone, but it depends on your preference.

Ive owned both and im currently playing with the adizero's and love them

last year i had vapors, in the end i loved them but for your first month wearing them, you have to break the material in and you get major blisters, then after that theyre great

but the adizero's are just as good of a shoe if not better, and you dont have the phase of pain

Both cleats are amazing but if I were to pick I would say Nike. Nike makes good solids cleats I have had my Nike 90s for two years no damage whatsoever just finished a game with them to.

not hating, but i just found them uncomfortable until i broke them in
that was my only dislike with them
both are great shoes though and you can't go wrong with either

i would go with the adizeros. I was allowed to try the mercurials for one practice and they just fealt cheap. Just to put this out there i believe the puma v1.10 are the best deal for the money, you can get the puma v1.10 sl for $130.

I would go with the vapors, i have had better luck with nike. Any adidas i have seem to rip and the adizeros are thin as fuck! Good chance of them ripping.

Then the adizeros are like negative weight, because they're lighter.

any place to try them on? I feel like they don't rip easily seeing as how the outside is. if they're like mine, there are no lines on the outside, everything is smooth. doesn't seem like mine will rip. and they haven't for like 2 or 3 years of play now.

IMO best vapor ever made. So comfortable and light. I would get these over the new vapors any day but they are so hard to find.

Vapors are so much nicer. I started last fall with the adizeros and ended up breaking them. Then i got another pair since eurosport sent me another for free and I broke them within a week. So i got vapor superflys and I have never owned a better pair of cleats in my life. Ive always loved adidas since I wore predators for the past 6 years of my life but after breaking two pairs of adizeros I think ill stick with the vapors.http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/orfnw-springhill-suites-norfolk-virginia-beach/

How did you "break" them? Did they fall apart/rip, or did the outsole crack or something haha
