I still think the origional f50’s were the nicest. The balck ones with the yellow on the side and sole. I have a pair still and they are by far one of the best boots i ever had. They should have stuck with leather i think. I had a pair of the f50+ and they were nice too but the pair of f50.6 that i had was no good. The whole boot design was poor. The studs and sole everything about it felt cheap. They should be careful that the f50 range doesnt go down the same path that the preadtors did. I still feel the origional few preadtor designs ares till the best.

<span>Alles Klar thing i doubt will give any stability looks more like a lack of a heel counter. pity there was no improvement in the studs. tho big improvement for the shape of piece that covers the velcro and laces. </span> what did you mean by <span>"They should be careful that the f50 range doesnt go down the same path that the preadtors did."</span> think they should have ditched the sythetic leather for k leather

I just mean the first pair of f50’s i think they was called "Yellow Sun" Had the K Leather Upper. I still have my pair now and they are still excellent boots. I think as soon as they went to Synthetic Leather they was on the downward slope. The Predator ranger started brilliant. In my opinion the Percisions and Mania are probabally the closes tot he perfect boots as you will get. After the Mania models they decided to produce boots that seemed lacking in quality. The only good leather you got on the later boots was on the top of the range models and professional player hand outs. I just think that sometimes football boot producers now look for appearence and not quality. I also think that they should look back to there flagship models of there boots and maybe take a few steps back to go a lot more forward. Look at the Adidas world cups mundials puma kings Umbo speciali’s all amazing boots and so simple!

wonder if it would make a difference if we had a worldwide petition to send to football boot manufacturers to produce boots based on quality leather not colour/appearance.

Do you agree with what i am saying? If it’s just me then i apologise for wasting everyones time but it’s just my personall view.

i do agree with what your saying. it would be better if adidas and the rest of them would take notice instead of us just ranting on about how good boots used to be. That they should use that past knowledge across the range instead of producing the seperate types speed power and touch/heritage. at least there is Pantofolo d’Oro http://www.savethekangaroo.com/adidas/beckham.shtml they really dont like david beckham.. have a look at the list links at the bottom of the page.

<font>Pantofolo d’Oro now theres a boot! Nice Japan world cup edition Manias. The last good predator boot! I’ve just been given a pair of Umbro SX Blackout. Theyare seriously nice! I’ve only ever had Umbro specalis but these are nice too! I’ll see if i can get a picture up for you. I’m going to e-mail the administrator ask him how we can go about getting an online poll togeather see how many other people agree with us. </font>

yea same place you got your image from http://www.adipredweb.com/ hope we get some official petition going. what shinguards do you use?

I use the Adidas 2006 world cup editions i think. We got loads sent through at the club i play for so i just wear what we are given! What boots etc you wear? I’m putting some up on ebay soon i think got so many piars and knowhere to put them!

shinguards? i wear the adidas f50.7 leather boots. i had got the uhlsport <span>vyper flex shinguards but the stitching bits attaching the foot strap to the ankle guards irritate the ankles. so im considering </span><span>Sondico Titanium Shinpads</span> or <span>Sells d3o Contour Shinguard</span>. or would slip in shinpads be better?

Yeh i use the world cup editions these ones. [img:3070d78b62]http://i12.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/97/23/7d64_1.JPG[/img:3070d78b62] I tore my ankle ligaments in a gamw while i was wearing ankle protectors attached to my pads and the pain taking the off in the hospital was unreal so these are slip in and not the one with ankle portectors attached. i dont see the point in the ankle protectors now. I feel more free without them and enjoy not using them more now. Where you from by the way dont know much about ya!

ahright strange pro direct soccer didnt have them good thing they were on ebay. my location is below my posts number

wot f50.8 should i get the yellow the purple and gold the red or the white gold and black!

alrite people

just seeing people complaining about f50s boots saying that the older ones were better, well sorry but times have moved on, synthetic is the way forward. So your telling me that old leather boots are better than nlight new ones?

problems with synthetic ,break easy ,durability is a question.

adv of synthetic , light, sleek looks good

what more do you want?

is anyone else having problems with the boots leaking water through the chassis on a slightly wet pitch

I dont like em, bought em a couple of days ago and they keep giving me blisters, I think its cos of the thing at the back, GET LEATHER ones if your buying or just get a pair of f50.7s theyre better
