Hi, i am looking for good and durable futsal boots. I think about pumas, but also about joma top flex or new balance 442. I have a slight flat feet so i dont know if the ibero will fit me well but i play outdoor in previous gen puma king pro and they are good for my feet.

Which boots you had were the longest lasting? In other words, which boots remained in good condition the longest?

No matter which brand, colour or release year.

Hello I'm trying to make a routine to lose weight, get faster/more athletic, better weak foot, and control under pressure but above that dribble and play with flair like Neymar I want however to see me feel like I was seeing Neymar

I have 2 balls, 1 small ball, cones, wall, and 2 adjustable dumbell 5-20 pounds each and that can turn into a 5-40 pound barbell

And maybe I can go to the field 1 or 2x a week.

Dm me or Put it into comments

I was going to get these but I don’t know whether to go up a size, stay at the size I am, or go down a size because I don’t know how it feels.

Anyone else has purchased socks from Pure Grip Socks and it took them two + weeks to ship them when they say available on the website?

I have emailed their support but getting no response.

Will do a charge back this Friday I guess if nothing happens, just super weird that in the past they always shipped stuff in like 24 to 48 hours.

Hey Bootroom,

I'm planning on buying morelia II elites abroad. As I don't have any way to try them or return them, I'm looking for some help with sizing for the Morelia II Elite FG. I come from Adidas Predator Accuracy.1 FG size 9.5US (43 1/3FR). They fit correct in length but they are a bit too wide. I believe Adidas internal measurements are 26.7cm for size 9.5US, so they fit correct to my feet.

My feet measurements with grip socks on are:

Length 26.5cm

Width 10.5cm

I tried the Neo iv beta and lengthwise were correct but they were too tight on the midfoot.

Can you recommend whether the best size would be 27CM or 26.5CM as K leather will stretch. I like a bit of space in my toes, but not too many. I'm not used to a snug fit either.

Thanks!!

Salut à tous ! Je cherche à avoir des avis sur les Adidas World Cup. Ce serai pour jouer sur terrain gras voire même très gras. Comment se compare-t-elle aux Copa Mundial ? Hormis la taille, qui, si je ne dis pas de bêtises, est normal sur ce modèle. Merci d'avance !

Has anyone who has these cleats noticed that the material flares up in between the 2nd and 3rd eyelet from the top? The first eyelet is the one that comes unlaced from Adidas at the top.

I have noticed that this flaring/bunching up of materials, and I’ve also noticed that in one of the boots, I can see the side part of the tongue at around the midfoot. The “side part” of the tongue has the secondary color of the boot.

The cleats fit well, but based on these material concerns, I’m wondering if my foot is too wide for the cleats.

Hi all,

I’m shopping around for something to replace my Preds—I heard the Nike Hypervenom is getting rebooted (ha) around May, but I’ve had my eye on Phantoms recently. Would the Phantom line go on sale around May since they’re getting retired, and would it be worth it to wait for that? Thanks for the advice, cheers

For an amateur, playing 5 aside, how do I improve my short bursts( mostly acceleration, sprint speed etc) significantly and sustainably on the pitch? Any kind of advice would help

After looking for some superfly 10 elites , I couldn't find any stores that had my size left in stock, only place I found them want £170. Managed to scoop up these from vinted £60.

Ordered this ball on October 16, and it’s now October 27 with no change to my order. Starting to feel like refreshing the app is my new morning routine 😂
Is this normal for Adidas? Anyone else waiting on the same ball, or did yours already arrive? Curious how long everyone’s orders have been taking and whether I should reach out or give it a few more days.

UPDATE : I just got Email Confirmation to pickup the Ball , thank you to the GODS of Soccer and you guys for your support!!!!!

It’s my sons 8th birthday very soon and football is his life, his poor mam however has zero clue 😅 he loves getting out in the garden with a ball but with the recent storms etc it’s too boggy so I was thinking of getting him one of the training mats for his birthday, is there really much difference between the FPRO which is £40 for the essential kit and £100 for the complete kit? Or one of eleven for £34 or a more generic one from Amazon for £20 including socks.

They look the same so i genuinely don’t know what to do 😅 thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!

I have heard of playmakers like Cherki or Neymar being said to have "zero angle bias" by X users. What does this actually mean? Examples of players who do display significant angle bias would help. Thanks.

Got my phantoms stitched and glued as per the advice yall gave me and they work WONDERFULLY. Thank you all :)

Is this too much space ? Or is it okay . Also would wearing thicker socks help ? Any advice is helpful and thank you

Hi everyone! I want to know if these shoes are in any good value or just keep them? I bought these Adidas Nitrocharge 1.0 In Vivid Red in 2013 and was used once and kept it, just have dust on it. No visible glue or separation that i see so far. Looking to see how much i can sell them for?

Struggling to find good turf shoes. Got the Tiempo Ligera Pros and they feel good length wise but really cramped on the sides. Considering Mundial Team or Morelia Neo IV AS. Anyone have good experiences with these? I have copa sundials, which are really comfortable, but feel a little sloppy—worried about that being the case with the mundial team.

Hello All,
I am more of an adidas predator type but recently started playing again. I picked up a pair of Kobe’s that I liked and mostly cuz I am a Kobe fan but today I felt like I robbed. I got these boots for 61.xx and I am just impressed on the come up and the fee of them.

Are these good boots? I assume yes based on retail but I don’t really know. Either way I am going to try and see but just wanted to share.

I have been looking for this soccer ball for years ever since the one I had just wore down entirely (the one on the pic is a random google photo i found). I've had it since I was like 10. It's my favorite design ever, but Adidas, DICKS, Academy, etc does not hold it. I have looked at local stores that have soccer ball replicas since the 2000s and even they don't hold it. Im considering it getting it custom made but have mo clue where to start or if potentially there is someone out there who is selling it. Any and all help is appreciated, thank you!!

Hi,

I struggle with my first touch, particularly regarding my body orientation and the positioning of my hips. I also feel like I make contact with the ball either too early or too late while I’m turning my body; as a result, the ball either gets past me or doesn't end up where I want it for my next move.

Any tips or solo exercises, please?

Thanks.

Any recommendations for crew length socks similar in thickness to the Adidas Metro socks? A little more durability would be nice, too. Not concerned with covering shin guards as these are for kicking around and pickup only. Thanks in advance!

The Nike Mercurials from 2016/17 and Hypervenom Phantom 3 Elite from 2017/18 were the perfect boots for me. Everything clicked: the upper grip, comfort, traction, lockdown and, most importantly, the feeling when striking the ball.

From what I understand, Nike used Teijin-engineered uppers during that era. Since they went their separate ways, I’ve personally felt that Nike’s upper quality and feel have declined, particularly after 2021.

I’ve struggled to find that same feeling ever since.
Here’s what I’ve tried:

● Adidas X Crazyfast (triple white): The upper felt too plasticky and flimsy. It simply wasn’t for me.

● Nike Mercurials (2024/25): Far too grippy, especially on 4G pitches. When dribbling or pushing the ball forward, it would catch on the upper, and I’d repeatedly trip over it. I lasted around 3–5 games before switching and when I did switch, I never once tripped over the ball again (I knew I wasn’t bugging)

● Nike Phantom: A massive improvement. Lockdown was decent but toebox comfort weren’t ideal, but I made them work and finished the season with 24 goals and 8 assists across all competitions.

● Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Beta: Loved the kangaroo leather, comfort and touch. However, the softer feel seemed better suited to a midfielder. As a forward, I wanted a more immediate, responsive connection when striking the ball.

● Mizuno Alpha III: Excellent for striking and better suited to my game, but the toebox was uncomfortable and lockdown wasn’t convincing during lateral movements. I also found the studs quite aggressive on certain pitches, making me uncomfortable with the rotational traction, particularly given the risk of twisting an ankle.

So, F50 or Superfly?

The newer Nike Mercurial Superfly has caught my attention again because I hope it might recapture the magic of the 2016/17 generation.

However, the newer Adidas F50 also looks appealing, particularly with its seemingly softer, more accommodating upper compared with the Crazyfast I tried.

Has the F50 now overtaken the Superfly for upper feel, ball control and overall performance, or does Nike still have the edge? More importantly, which is closer to the older Mercurials and Hypervenom Phantom 3 Elite?
As a forward, I’m looking for:

● A direct, responsive and satisfying feel when striking the ball.

● An upper with enough grip for control, but not so much that the ball catches instead of gliding naturally.
● Good lockdown during acceleration and lateral movements.

● A comfortable toebox and reliable traction on 4G pitches.

I’m not necessarily chasing the lightest boot. I want that combination of comfort, touch, responsiveness and traction where everything just clicks.

What about professional players?

I’ve noticed Pedro Neto switching from Mercurial Vapors to Adidas F50s. João Pedro, one of my favourite strikers, wears F50s too, as does Ousmane Dembélé.
It makes me wonder what attracts these players to the F50. Is it personal preference, fit, performance or sponsorship arrangements? And for those who stick with Mercurials, what makes them prefer the Superfly over the F50?

I know professional players have different needs, and sponsorship can influence what we see, but I’m curious whether the F50 offers something the Mercurial doesn’t.
For anyone who’s tried both the current F50 and Superfly:

1. Which has the better upper feel, striking responsiveness and dribbling experience?

2. Which is closer to the 2016/17 Mercurials and 2017/18 Hypervenom Phantom 3 Elite?

3. Has the newer F50’s softer upper made a meaningful difference compared with the Crazyfast?

4. Have the newer Mercurials improved in terms of that overly grippy upper, particularly on 4G?

5. Which would you personally buy in my position, and why?

I’d especially appreciate opinions from people who’ve worn both the older and newer generations. Are the F50 or Superfly worth buying to recapture that old-school feeling, or should I look elsewhere with a different recommendation?
