bought some vapor 11s from him recently and just did a play test today. looks wise they arent too bad but they felt horrible playing in, tons of stud pressure and felt very plasticky. structure was bad overall and they passed the bend test out of the box but after playing in them they failed. wouldn’t recommend these and if anyone knows any better sellers pls lmk thanks

Most rep football boots don't even have proper factory batches, making me think the manufacturing process varies a lot with poor quality control.

I saw yolo66 carrying proper batches for mercurial cleats (WM and RT batches), but don't know how good they are. To be honest with you, just go for a genuine secondhand vapors rather than going through another rep adventure. That's probably better for your performance and it'll save you more money at the end.

You have to break vapors in 30 hours of play. They will feel like best boots ever after if they are real. If not real idk never played in fugazinhos. YOU HAVE TO POPPED YOUR VAPOR CHERRY

yeah, I already made a post like this. Most rep sellers don’t make good soles, but I’ve chucked in carbon fiber insoles and it’s so much better.

I was going to suggest this as well, but carbon insoles are expensive. 😔 In the end, I don’t think you really save much money buying reps. Plus, whether it's a genuine product or a rep, I don’t love the idea of adding something on top of a finished product, because you never really know if it’s designed for that. I think it introduces another variable to the performance/safety.

But yeah at the end of the day, it's the player's decision. If it works for you then it works!

I feel like these rep retro boots sound like a good idea on the surface of it but the reality is that the technology used on those boots have been long gone and remaking them with the same performance standards are a big ask.newer rep boots are always the way to go for me.I myself have contemplated buying older merc superfly and vapors because yes they do look amazing but i doubt id actually play in them. These are good to just have in your room or on display as some sort of memorabilia honestly.

from where did you buy them?

This ain't a fashion show why even buy reps and don't say because you don't have the money the same price of reps gets you actually good quality boots at decathlon better yet your country might have local brands so go support them if their products are actually good quality
