Copa about to become synthetic? Evidence? Link? I’ve never heard of this. It wouldn’t make sense one bit, if this is just forum rumours, I really can’t see it happening.

And the copa is about to become synthetic. Won’t be the classical boot for much longer.

1 i agree with the statements that concavehas room to improvve. but if they do improve and get some new boots out there i MIGHT consider buying them even though im a HUGE mercuial vapor fan i think they are amazing but u have to have the right foot for them soo i agree with footy-boots choice of the ctr 360

You’ve got to have the Copa Mundials/World Cups as the classical boot. There isn’t one finer tbh

i have a feeling concave still have a few kinks to iron out. but still, i think they are onto something and applaud their effort to stand up to the bigwig boot companies. im sure they’ll get better with each new release, seeing as though they really took into consideration all the gripes people had with the first incarnation of the concave boot for this current release.

how bout the under armor dominate? i hear it is incredibly comfortable…

Excellent list! All the boots look amazing and I was particularly interested to see the lhotto boot which I had not seen before.

I have one gripe about the concave boot though. It’s obviously quite good and amazing but the sweet spot is placed where you have to think about using it. The CTR 360 and predator sweet spots are naturally placed and will be used often. Fabregas even used his pass pad naturally when scoring for spain yesterday against austria. But for the concave I don’t see how often you would be using that strike zone except for a clearance or a shot. So for normal play it isn’t useful at all unlike the other strike zones on other boots.

And I heard if you don’t hit the ball right with the zone it doesn’t help with power or accuracy at all. John O’Shea against france; if he was wearing the concaves he proved that very well with a mis-kick when totally free at the far post. Had he got the strike on with that nice concave zone maybe the ball was going powerfully and accurately into the net. He didn’t get it perfectly and so it went into the sky……
