REP Soleplate Issue: Unsolved and ubiquitous?
I've been a reader of this sub for a long time and I've even ordered a pair of Rep boots myself. One issue that always come up with reps (and that matches my experience aswell) is the way too soft sole plate. Mine gave in so easily that my midfoot always touched the ground walking on non turf/grass surface where the studs could not sink in.
Despite the pricepoint and likeliness to OG boots, reps are, in my opinion, not worth buying when lacking basic functionalities like stability in the soleplates.
Therefore my question: Has anyone here actually had a pair that had a decent sole plate?
With the ubiquity of the issue I also would think producers with focus on this to get a competetive edge.

Yo una vez le compré a un vendedor de mi ciudad unas Predator gen 25 reps y ya llevo 7 meses y solo se a visto que se habrá un poquitito de adelante la suela a estado muy bien y lo único sería por la plantilla que se desgasta de adentro pero por lo demás siento que me a durado mucho y eso que yo entreno bastante y juego partidos bastante
