...The new Adidas Predator are quite simply brilliant! Having owned the previous Predator Boots which I thought were outstanding, the new 'model' eclipses all that have went before them! In short, the Predator Boots increase your performance on the pitch, which is where it matters, and as an added bonus, they also make you look the part!

Advantages: The best boot for curling a football and one touch control.
Disadvantages: The pads on the flat of the foot wear down if you use them too much.

If your a good passer of the ball the Predator Rapier t's are outstanding because you can play with your curl of the ball and notice the results straight away. This is because of the positioning of the pads on the front of the boot. They allow more grip on the ball when it is kicked to increase curl and also power, and allow a better control of the ball for the same reason. The durability of the Predator... Read review
