Puma King Allround

Advantages: wide fitting, kangeroo
Disadvantages: expensive

...Ever since I was a kid I wanted a pair of puma kings and now I finally have them they do not disappoint. Having wide feet these boots fit me alot better than other brands(namely addidas predators that didnt fit at all well). The aluminium tipped studs are still firm in after 1 season with no sign of becoming loose or dangerous. Due to the material used Pittards 80 SDL leather they do not shrink when wet and breath well. The boots are easy to clean and the stitching and general manufacted quality is of a very high standard. However the age old techonology of studs is behind other boots unlike the predators and newer puma kings tend to hurt the parts of your feet where the studs are on harder ground in a hard game. These boots will last and work hard when you do.... Read review

Advantages: Comfortable, reliable, simple but effective.
Disadvantages: Might not appeal to someone after a flashy boot.

...After recently being persuaded by a friend to try on his Puma king Pro's, I rushed to the shops to purchase a pair of the exact same boot. In the past I had questioned the need for such an expensive pair of footwear. However, after using them for a period of time I can recommend them to any budding footballer. The Pittards upper is soft without losing the feel for a ball, with extreme comfort.

Also, after treating them with little respect by leaving them to become mouldy in a plastic bag, the leather is still extremely soft and the boot is a joy to slip on. On the field the Puma King Pro acts as it should do, it lets you feel the ball, it grips the ball well when adding curl, and translates the power from your... Read review

Advantages: Great all-round capabilities
Disadvantages: perhaps master of none?

...I’ve used the Tioga Factory DH's (26’ x 2.3’) for quiet some time now and I've been pretty pleased with the performance in most conditions. Admittedly, perhaps not king of anything but nevertheless a great 'all rounder' at least competent in all conditions as far as I have experienced and I've done a lot of riding in different places and weather conditions. The knobbles are nice and meaty to ensure plenty of traction both on straights and through the corners. The side knobbles also insure cornering stability and if you do push too hard they are nicely predictable as they slide. Relatively hard wearing so long as you get the good versions rather than the cheap grey market ones... Highly recommended for all round hardcore riding...... Read review
