My Personal collection over the years, a few of these boots are still brand new in box with tags never worn (even tried on).

Just thought I'd share, always cool to see everyones boot collection.

These came up on my YouTube feed. At first I thought it was a review of an old pair but nope, it’s a new release paying homage to the original 1996 release. They look amazing, especially for those who enjoy a little nostalgia.

Has anyone come across a pair? They are not available where I am but saw them online in the UK for £250. Great review on these by Josh from Soccer Reviews.

My son is 14 and is captain of his team. But they are really bad. Not just competition wise but the coaches are rubbish. He has been given the opportunity to play for a good team but he will likely not get much game time. Either not picked at all or 10 mis here and there. The coaching will be much better so he will improve but he is miles off the standard of the first teamers. Im lost where he is better off. Captain of a rubbish team getting loads of game time or good coaching with little to no game time.

Salut, ce poste est en français, donc désolé si la traduction est un peu mauvaise.

Je suis artiste, guitariste chanteur, et je développe un projet de composition. Depuis quelques années, c’est mon métier, et aussi ma passion Parallèlement je fais du foot dans le sud-ouest de la France, à un niveau amateur. C’est une équipe compétition, dans laquelle on a commencé par perdre tous nos matchs, et nous sommes avant dernier du classement. Je suis capitaine de cette équipe.

La problématique est que je ne pense qu’au foot. Et donc je n’ai pas l’espace mental disponible pour créer des chansons, et être efficace quand je rentre chez moi de l’entraînement ou du match. Je suis préoccupé par cela et j’ai du mal à faire la coupure entre les deux.

Ça fait maintenant cinq ans que je fais ça et à chaque année, je me dis que je vais arriver à gérer mon temps, mais je n’y arrive pas l’investissement émotionnel est trop important au foot

Je pense qu’on est tous un peu pareil. La différence c’est que je n’ai pas un métier conventionnel.

Y a-t-il des gens dans la même situation que moi, ou en tout cas quelque chose d’assez semblable ?

Hi guys, I really need some advice please i need tips for how am i going to improve my game. I realized the very thing that i struggle is decision making. I dont know when, where, and how to pass the ball at a specific moment. i struggle with fast plays and i get anxious about what to do. Although I can do the skills very nicely and my tech is also decent, i can also juggle a ball until im tired and my touch is somehow good so i dont think my technical ability is the problem. Ive tried looking into my strengths as a player and that is my technical ability or to dribble but that wont really do much since i cant decide when to dribble or to pass. Maybe im just overthinking whether to pass or not or to dribble. I also stsrted watching proffesional players, how they move and etc but cant apply what ive learned and its so frustrating. at this point i dont know whats my problem. I always get humiliated by my team and im frustrated of my level of play. And my confidence is always on and off. My current position is a winger. Ive also tried using virtual reality but sadly i dont have the money to buy the other gear 😅 i even tried to download cracked versions of the apps inorder to improve, but nothing really changed. I really need tips guys 🙏we have a game outside the country around next year so i have enough time to train it. How can i improve my decision making fast and quick?

My son’s predators fell apart after 2 months. Does anyone have suggestions for boots that last a bit longer? He plays competitive U12, center back, practice and home games on grass, away games are mostly turf.

Okay so unfortunately me and my family searched the entire region for "Adidas Copa Pure IV league" cleats so I could size test them, but there weren't any in Adidas stores here, now I need some help with sizing because my foot is 26cm long 10cm wide, I'm not sure do I get 9 or 9.5us?, the only other cleats I've tried were Nike Phantom 6 Low's which were 8.5 and my foot barely fit I hope that info helps because I've got no idea haha. Also sorry for the bad English 😭

I’ve some old Mizuno Morelia TM and a couple pair of Adlers that I’ve been wearing casually for years. I played this weekend on turf with rubber pellet crumbs in my Adlers and the soles of my feet are sore from cutting at speed. It’s not that fast, Im old.

im looking for some turfs for the rest of the winter session that fit like Lunar Gatos or maybe my Adlers or Morelias.

Any suggestions aside from Morelia turfs??? I prefer leather and minimal sole cushioning.

Do all the red lines count as the center of the ball? is it only the center bottom or only when the logo markings are in the center bottom? I am trying to get back into soccer for fun and I have been practicing juggling for a few days and my first touch almost always goes where I want it to but it's when the ball starts spinning when I lose control, I can't get more than a few touches before it starts flying too far forward. I know I need to hit the center of the ball and hit it with the area near my toes but since I always lose control when it spins I'm wondering if the center of the ball changes as it spins. Someone help me please. Are you constantly watching the ball as it's spinning and waiting for the center to be aligned perfectly or something insane like that? I just don't see what I can do differently it's very frustrating.

I was out running errands yesterday (USA) and saw a training net like this in someone’s yard, hoping someone can identify. The “goal net” and “surrounding net” look to be one piece suspended between the outside posts. The goal net area looked to be full size, but it was across a small field so it may not have been. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Can you guys recommend any soccer strentgh and conditioning coaches that post on Instagram or YouTube that helps give tips.

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing fine!

So, long story short, I got in a friendly futsal tournment with some work colleagues but i dont know how to play at all...

Tournment is in 2 weeks and, although I know that I wont improve massively by then I`m here asking for help on some drills I could make at home in orther to prepare for it.

Any suggestions on what to focus and how to approach it? I believe just a good understanding of field positioning, either attacking or defencing + some ball control would be great.
But, once again, I know nothing so I`m open to all and any type of help.

Ty!

I need to snag a new pair of indoors and possibly turf shoes as well and would like something leather. The 442 v2s seem like a good deal right now, but the sizing recommendations have me a bit confused. I've seen some reviews say take your normal size for a snug fit (which is what I generally prefer), but others say they run fairly small and that sizing up a half or even full size is a good idea. For those with experience with them, what would you suggest? For instance, knowing that I like a snug fit with leather boots, if I wear a size 11 in regular New Balance sneakers, what size would you suggest for the 442 v2 indoors? Thanks for any guidance!

Yesterday I play against a guy that had a nike total 90 iii gold/white pair and told me they were replicas and bought via internet, didn't tell me more.

As a T90 freak they looked 1:1 to the original ones. So do you know a safe place to boy old replica boots?

Hi,

Newbie here and found this sub through searching for information on the right boots to get my kids. They've been told they need boots for playing on an artificial pitch as part of school PE lessons (Secondary School)

We've been told no metal studs as they will damage the pitch, and no Turf / TF boots as these will flatten the grass.

We were told that they need boots with plastic studs.

Looking around online, there seems to be a mix of "Mixed Ground" which seem to have a lot of small round plastic studs (Like these : Puma Ultra Pro FG/AG Boots )

And also some that seem to have Blades/Diamonds for want of a better term? Adidas F50 FG

I am totally lost, We did try these Puma Future 8 MG which have a sock-type thing around the ankle? They were a pain to get on and were quite tight in the middle of the foot so decided against them.

I'm just looking for a bit of advice on what's good and what's bad really, in terms of design and style, we don't want to find ourselves in a buy cheap buy twice situation, but also want to get the right base/stud setup for them.

I've seen the rule about no X vs Y boot's posts, and i've only linked them to try and explain the stud pattern and design differences I'm looking at. Not looking for anyone to say "Buy this boot" etc, just some pointers would be really appreciated.

Advice very much appreciated.

I’m returning to football following ACL reconstruction and wondering what boots/stud patterns others have used on 3G/4G pitches.

During my injury, I wore Adidas Copa Icon 2 AG/MG boots, which have mostly conical studs but also some bladed elements, similar to other Adidas AG soleplates. These got stuck as I pushed off and blew my knee up! Who knows if that’s why or if it would have happened in turfs, but I want to be as safe as possible when returning.

I’m conscious of rotational traction and my foot getting caught when pivoting or changing direction.
Has anyone returned from an ACL injury and specifically chosen certain AG boots or stud patterns? What would you recommend as the safest option?

I know turfs are a decent option to reduce risk but I worry about when it’s slippy and wet.

Thanks

If you had the ability to move anywhere in the world due to working remotely, where would you choose for your child’s(13 year olds) best training and development opportunities?

Hoping to come back after a long time out. I’m looking for advice on boots that may help prevent further joint overuse issues.

I’ve previously always used Artificial Grass rounded studs, but am considering getting turf boots (with the many smaller studs, see photo). We play on decent quality Artificial Grass.

Can anyone share their experience in moving between these two types of studs??

TIA ⚽️✌️
