ok take this from me, someone who has gone through and tried every possible cleat there is to try, adidas & nike. vapor elites, ctr elites, t90 elites, tiempo elites, adipowers, adizeros, adipure sl's & more.
As a center mid, both of those cleats are bad for the position, but if you had to choose, get Vapors. Don't be a cheap boy & get the mercurials, get the superfly's.. The extra money is worth it. composed of completely different materials.
- Light
- Keep a good shape, and really good in rain
- solid stud spacing, extremely good traction
- narrow, so a really snug fit. Even if you have a wide foot, they well mold to your feet & they are good for the fact of how they hold to your feet.
Cons:
- thing material. As a center mid prepare to have your foot ruined in these cleats
- not the most comfortable cleats for a lot of running, as your feet will end up hurting
- poor transition into the cleats. If you're a person like me, who has 3 or 2 pairs of cleats they use, the only problem with these is that once your foot is comfortable with a different cleat, then once you put these on your feet hurt.
Adizeros:
Pros:
- Extremely lightweight
- Solid strike zone
- Really good traction
Cons:
- Extremely terrible shape. The issue is that theyre really loose by your toes, as the shape is extremely off.
- They crease, a lot, and because of the poor material, they look pretty ugly
- They rip in the toe area. Playing academy soccer i've seen 4 kids on my team get their adizeros ripped, because theyre poorly made
Final verdict:
Get CTR elites. Most comfortable cleats i've worn. Extremely easy on the foot, and transitioning from cleat to cleat is not a problem. No foot pains at all. Extremely well made, and the leather is soft, perfect for a center midfielder. The touch is them feels great. Theyre slighter thicker than vapors and adizeros, but that doesnt negate the foot to ball feeling they have, & getting stepped on in these is not a problem. The only issue ive had with these is that theyre not the best in the rain.
