I think it's just about time to take my old shoes out back and shoot them, the material on the inside of the heel has just about worn down all the way through. They were some old Kangaroo leather Total 90 that I don't think are sold anymore since I bought them about 5-6 years ago. [image loading]

Can I get some suggestions for some new cleats? The Total 90s were the best shoe I ever used, and if at all possible I'd like something similar to these shoes, but I'm not sure if I like the new Total 90s. Also, I really don't like any of the extremely thin shoes, like Vapors or Mercurials(I think those were the names) because they hurt like shit when you get stepped on.

Oh yeah, please no suggestions for $150+ shoes, something like 80-90 would be great, I don't care if the model is a couple years old

I made a thread exactly like this and it was closed immediately T_T

Copa Mundials are ALWAYS a solid choice. Might get my like 4th pair of these soon.
Vapors are no-go for me, always seen too many blisters.
I had some adipure trx fgs and they were pretty cool till they fell into a million pieces.
Tiempo air legend III's look pretty sick. As do the predator powerswerves (if you've got 220) and the puma 1.10s (if you've got 210).

I've also got the adidas world cups for soft ground. these things ROCK whenever it rains. basically a copa mundial with 6 metal studs so i get great traction and the soft k leather feels great on my foot

keep in mind i play rugby in these not soccer so i'm not overly concerned about the touch on the ball as much as i am comfort/traction/durability.

when i played soccer (back in the day...or about 6 years ago) I went with diadora and was quite pleased with the results

not as flashy or well known as nike or addidas, but great shoes at decent prices

just an fyi, these spoiled fucks on my hs/select teams would get 2 pairs of $150+ cleats per season. they'd keep busting out around where the material meets the bottom part. I used a $60 pair I got on sale for 2 years before it finally degraded enough I needed a new one.

don't be like those limp-dick fuckups. don't throw your shoes in your bag and forget about them, stuff some newspaper in them and keep them out in the sunlight for an hour or two after you use em. also use shoe powder every so often

sounds like common sense i know but do it. they'll smell nice, stay in good condition, and save you money. and your bag wont smell as much like shit

i thought the new total ninteys were like 60 dollars. i got mine for like 20 from one of those outlet stores lol. they good you dont have to get the brand new "Laser III"s the older are twice as cheap. i have a similar pair, i got stepped on, didnt really hurt, maybe cause he didnt step that hard/various factors.

55 dollars
i dont see too much of a difference except maybe the soles might be a little more comftorable in the 300 dollar pair. but then again, its nike so it should be decent either way.

Copa Mundials are always a good choice

If you want some super light boots look into adidas F50 adizeros, supposed to be very nice boots
