Mammut Karakorum 50

Advantages: Let your feet breath and have a stylish design
Disadvantages: let in water

...iv had many pairs of boots since my youth , but ever since iv descovered adidas thats all iv wanted and all id needed. The design of the f50 was released a couple of years ago and has been a great success. The laces under the outer layer protecting them from mud and been worn. The great new design of material allowing your feet to breath, however because of this they did let in a bit of water, but only round the back. They way i overcame the problem was by rubbing in dubbin. A waterproof gel you can buy in any sports shop. You may have seen the new adidas f50 tunits that have just been released. My brother has the same size feet as me and a couple of days ago bought the tunits. Before writing this review i thought id compare them. The tunits may have been lighter and you were able to do fancy things with the insoles and studs... Read review

Advantages: big surface area, changeable insoles.....
Disadvantages: if you don't spray them then....

...I bought my F50+'s on Boxing Day of last year they cost me £50.00 from JJB Sports. They are incredibly well price considering what you are getting for £50.00; they come with changeable insoles which let you pick what the right comfort is, e.g. 'speed' (a nice light insole that will make you lighter on the pitch and therefore quicker, then you have 'comfort' (a cushiony insole that is good if you are playing on hard ground), then the 'professional' insoles (which are inbetween the 'speed' and the 'comfort' insoles. They come in a neat smart little Velcro bag that looks great and is a cool way to keep your insoles in. Unlike most boots the F50+'s have the laces hidden under a Velcro tongue, which comes down over the laces to make a better surface area for controlling the ball and for shooting at goal with the ball.

Advantages: Stylish
Disadvantages: Not the best material for football

...I never normally buy Adidas football boots although I thought I would give the F50's a go. Looking at them I thought they were some of the most sytlish boots that i've ever seen. Having worn these boots on several occasions I have realised that they are not really different than any Adidas or nike boot as I do find these brands very similar in trying to create a stylish affect instead of a practical one. I have also come decision that I prefer either Puma or Umbro as I prefer the more lether feel. Also the F50's do like to absorb water when it starts to rain as I found out on several occasions when you sudenly realise that you have bricks on your feet. I therefore have come to the decision that the F50 football is not the most practical ever designed and feel as i have said already that Puma and Umbro are a little better.... Read review
