I bought these football boots (or rather my da bought them for me) when i went for my first training session with Shrewsbury about 2 years ago (2002). As i was a goalkeeper i never really looked at boots too much and tended to keep my eye on the newest gloves out (tip i dont think much of adidas fingersavegoalkeeper gloves).
I got home from school and he said he had a present in my room for me. I went upstairs and there they were along with a pair of new goalkeeper gloves and a new state of the art goalkeeper top (i know most of you wont think that tops can become state of the art, but this one had grip on the chest). I basically ignored the boots and was fascinated by the gloves and top.
When i had them on that night i still didnt think much of them. They were comfy yeah but nothing id not noticed in a new pair before. Gradually i sadly lost my interest in goalkeeping and quit Shrewsbury and goalkeeping for good (maybe the worst thing ive ever done in my life). I began playing central defender for my local team. This is where i noticed my boots properly.
I had already had them for one year and the sole, studs and actual boot were in near perfect condition (actually when i cleaned them properly and waxed and put vaseline on them they really looked brand new). I began to notice that they really held my foot well and i could no longer feel the strain put on my ankle from a previous ligament injury. I also noticed that the studs griped the surface well in nearly all conditions.
After two seasons you would expect, like i did, for them to be falling apart but they were still in great condition (and it wasnt like i wasnt playing because i played every match from start to finish). I was amazed by the way they still looked and felt new. I even had friends asking me in school games when i got my 'new' boots.
They are boots for every position, not like the predators that were designed especially for strikers. They were also only about £35, again unlike the predators that cost like £120. I really loved the boots and still have them now for when my dad, who runs a kids team, arranges friendly games against the kids for their practise matches.
I feel that although they do cater for every position goalkeepers may benifit from them the most. The reason being that the studs hold well in all ground conditions, therefore when a goalkeeper is called upon for their fast moving feet the boots dont get stuck in the mud of tangled in the other lace. My goalkeeper coach (a few older readers might remember him) Grenville Millington, former Aston Villa goalkeeper i think, recommended them to the rest of the lads in training sessions for Chester City. He says that the boots arent 'bulky' or 'flash'. I disagree they really are quite flash, but not bulky.
I would recommend the boots to any football player even if they arent that high in the football world. But if your looking for a pair that will cost you an arm and a leg then these arent for you. They arent that expensive but are the best pair ive ever had. By the way ive played football since i was 7 so that is about 11 years! And they are still the comfiest, best looking, and have the best grip.
