lotto zhero gravityAs part 1 of the Top Football Boots of the World Cup series, here is the Lotto Zhero Gravity.

Italian football boot manufacturers Lotto, are launching their top of the range boot, the Zhero Gravity, which ties in nicely with the boot being worn at this years World Cup.

Performance: Although not the lightest, this is still a light boot at 210 grams, so great for speed. Lotto have said to have been developing this football boot for 3 years and have invested 1 million pounds. The development sees the launch of the first lace less football boot. Without lacing, this boot will have excellent shooting precision and close sensitivity for control.

The football boot comes with 7 fixed bladed studs and 4 interchangeable conical studs, providing great stability.

Comfort: In addition to being lace less, the Zhero Gravity comes with two insoles for maximum comfort.

Players: Luca Toni, Shevchenko and Cafu were said to be involved in the development.

Price: RRP £139.99

Verdict: Not the most attractive style, but could revolutionise football boots, if the lace less feature proves successful. Top end pricing likely to prevent mainstream sales of the Lotto Zhero Gravity.

the only thing about those boots is : I spent so long time getting them on the foot I used their “ShoeSpoon”, but the one that came in the package, just did not work. So I had to use my own “spoon” to make them fit :P

They look good but I dont think i would wear them. Won’t they fall off? It’s the same with the Nike Vapours, someone kicks you and you’re going to know it.

As good as my Nike Vapor 3’s and my Adidas Predator Pulse 2’s if you have these boots then you will love the new Lotto Zhero Gravity’s. I would highly recommend that all that the good players go get some of these boots, they look awesome and will give you that extra attention from the sideline. If your trying to impress some ladies or make your mates jealous, get some Zhero’s

I think they are quite nice, reminds me of Vapor. Is it true that this boots can stretch up to 4000 times its size??

“If your trying to impress some ladies or make your mates jealous, get some Zhero’s “? On the other hand if you want to play the game, get some laced football boots! What’s the point?

i would like to trial a pair before buying them, but they’re profile is impressive, sticking with my vapors/legends though for the time being. (who said football was about impressing the ladies or making your mates jealous?!)

Kibwe said: Comment 25 December, 2006 @ 4:51 pm

Very nice design. Interesting comments though. People say its very thin, however, so is the Puma V.I series. I have a pair of the pumas and nothing is lighter than that. If you are worried about getting “pegged” by a tackle, then you can either (a)Start drinking more milk or (b)Drop football and start playing with Barbie dolls. Someone said that it’s not a PRO boot. WTF…. please look at Dida’s foot next time you see a Brasil or AC Milan game. As for the size, I think you gotta try em on in the store 1st and make sure it fits snug. The bloody thing stretches anyway, unless your foot is the shape of a box.

The Zhero’s look very, very nice. everything about them is amazing. Except, I’m very curious as to if they will fall right off your foot? But I would still get a pair.

I got a pair of these footy boots and they feel sweet as on, but I have found they won’t mould around my feet. Can anyone sling me some tips on how to get them to shape to my foot a bit better?

liaM said: Comment 20 May, 2007 @ 3:10 am

I just bought these football boots and played my first game and they rae great! You get such greater control to other top end football boots.

If you want to mold them to your feet, put them on and stand in hot hot water and let them mold to your foot!

Don said: Comment 13 February, 2009 @ 1:55 am

I run very hot water over mine just before I put them on- they mold to my foot as they cool and are much easier to put on.

Curious said: Comment 17 March, 2007 @ 8:14 am

Will these pair of Zheros loosened after a long time wearing it? or it will just be as tight as ever?

As a freekick taker in my state I don’t feel comfy with these at all.

Roberto said: Comment 3 April, 2007 @ 6:54 pm

These have got to be the best football boots i’ve ever owned. Ive got the new f50’s, i’ve got the new vapors, these are the best, the touch and general feel of the footy boots is the best i’ve ever experienced in any boot before. I can’t see me having another pair for a while, unless something happens with these. The only thing i would comment on is that they are quite thin, but still very strong, however, you seem to become more cautious when going into tackles. I’d say a 9/10

Alan - Footy-Boots said: Comment 4 April, 2007 @ 7:48 am

Great summary Roberto. It’s interesting that the Zhero Gravity’s come top when compared to these other popular boots.

Patty said: Comment 20 April, 2007 @ 6:38 pm

I’ve had my Lotto Zhero Gravity’s for nearly a year now. I have tried almost all of the top selling football boots (Predator, Total 90, F50, Vapor) and I believe the Lotto Zhero Gravity are by far the best. They have the best touch, the best feel, and the best grip I have ever experienced. But they do have draw backs, such as there very pricey, they are thin, and they don’t seem to have the durability. The worst thing is I can’t seem to find replacement studs any where, if any one knows where I could get some please let me know.

Tyler Brackman said: Comment 23 April, 2007 @ 7:20 am

Look guys.. These football boots are simply amazing. I have had mine for a year now and they have brought me great success. They stay on your feet because of the tight and stretchy material at the anke. They are hard to get on but once they are on you feel like you can fly, seriously. The upper is like rubber feeling and creates mad spin on the ball. They removable studs are nice also. The only negative thing is price. Period.

 
(-)

Chris said: Comment 29 April, 2007 @ 1:15 pm

Im wondering about buying those, but can’t find a store with them in. I think I would buy em on the net, but do they fit good around your foot or hang loose?

I’ve got size 42 / US 9 / UK 8, By the way, and have medium wide feet.

Now im using the Nike AZT90 Supremacy, and theyre great but I need some backup boots, and I would like these.

Joey said: Comment 4 May, 2007 @ 5:23 am

Great boots, but way too much money! They’ve been out for a while now but the price hasn’t changed, and I am tired of seeing that they are $324.99!! But other than that, they are great; Comfy, lightweight,sleek, and control.

well, i’ve had lottos in the past, and they’ve always been good to me, but i just can’t see why anyone would spend over $300 for ONE pair of boots. at least with the f50 premium pack you get 3 uppers and 2 chassis.

Valensi said: Comment 16 August, 2007 @ 12:57 pm

Its quite a excellent boot. I recommended this to people and ALL of them says that its very light! However, i got the laces type and nothing special happens when i shoot. Anyway, i would recommend this to players like dribblers eespecially cause its light. MAYBE a little similar to nike mecuriar vapour but the nike is better of course :)

maexi said: Comment 2 September, 2007 @ 6:25 pm

i bought the lotto zhero gravity and i love them. i have to say the first 3-4 matches and training the shoe was a bit to tight but after a couple of games they’re the best boots ever i swear! but only for players with narrow feet if u have a flat foot i would stay with nike. u can change the studs and if u use the longest ones and the ground is soft ull never slip out! but like the other say getting in the boot is very difficult.
in the end when u have them on they r the best! and ur teammates r jealous all time!

Tom walko said: Comment 11 September, 2007 @ 5:17 pm

Just bought these boots had my first match in them and i absolutely love them, lotto has always impressed me and have done again this time with a good lucking boot and a great touch and great comfort of the boot and they certainly will not fall off if you order the right size for me

10/10

john smith said: Comment 17 September, 2007 @ 6:20 am

These Lotto Zhero Gravity boots are seriously the best. Ive tried preds, vapors, f50s and umbros they are very comfortable very light, durable and can bend lots and dont crack. the boots are hard to get on at first but once you get them on they are perfect. i have had them for a week now its hard to say if the material will strech but however just wear the regular insoles first and if you see maybe after 6 -8 months that you want hte boots tighter on your foot just put the slimmer fit insoles in. I recommend that these are more game boots not to be worn 5 times a week because the material might strecht so yea i reccomend you get them wear them twice a week maybe but definatly worth it. thats the honest truth about these cleats. as well i think the new white and blue and all black ones got some different technology to keep the material from stretching so those might be better buy but the gold ones are tigher on the foot but like i said if its not tight use hte other insoles. hope that helps to anyone who wants these.

Hey,

I have just had my Puma v1.06 fall apart on me after a few months and my other pair are following suit. Was looking for a replacement boot with similar characteristics (light, hidden laces etc) and this may be the boot for me.

Can anyone advise what size I should go for if I fit perfectly into a size 10 Puma v1.06 (as thinking about ordering over the net)?

Cheers
Mick

Mick said: Comment 8 October, 2007 @ 10:48 am

Hi,

My Puma V1.06 just fell apart on me after two months and reckon these boots look like a great replacement.

As Im thinking about ordering them over the net can anyone help with the sizing? My Puma v1.06 fit perfectly and are a ten, do the lotto boots match up?

Cheers
Mick

Stoogz said: Comment 3 June, 2008 @ 11:52 am

whoever said football was about impressing ladies or making you mates jelous is right, if your a professional with a full time contract, mansion and a 4×4 bmw. that would be the only reason football is about impressing ladies. football is played because people like playing it. when i am going to my games my dad takes me and no one else comes, no girlfriends and no friends. this is because i play football because i want to play football. i don’t spend excessive amlounts of money on a pair of boots to make myself look good when io can get a good pair for £45 that will do the same job as a £130 pair. ” it’s not the boots that make you play good it’s the feet inside them.” one of my previous teams included a guy that got a new pair of boots every month and he wondered why he couldn’t get a proper feel for the ball. boots are boots, they all do the same job. if you blame your boots for mistakes you made then i think your scared to blame yourself.

next time your looking for a pair of football boots, try a pair of £130 boots on and a pair of £45 boots. bet you won’t even no the difference.

dmogie said: Comment 8 September, 2008 @ 2:24 am

BOOTS DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE YOU MORON. But thanks for the lecture, STOOGZ. And thank you for using this forum for your personal Sociology Thesis. Or was that just the ranting of another know-it-all that can type… counseling may help you get over yourself.

I bought a pair of these (slightly used) on eBay- they are extremely comfortable and the performance is spectacular. They stay very tight to my feet. I am 52 years old and was suffering from painful damaged heel bursas from wearing those #@!$%^& NIKE Vapors. Now, after 2 years of pain and 3 different boots, I am again playing pain free. 2 goals and 2 assists in my return match. This shoe is the real deal.

anyone knows the difference between ZHERO GRAVITY DUE and ZHERO GRAVITY? does the twist n go feature and kangaroo leather actually make a big difference to defenders?

(-)

Jon said: Comment 4 May, 2009 @ 3:42 pm

zhero gravity = edition of boot made and launched specifically for WC 2006; zhero gravity due = 2007 edition

Also, the zhero gravity has a lot more features for the comfort and the wearer: arch support, cushioning etc.

sasa said: Comment 31 October, 2008 @ 8:25 am

believe me i had these boots in gold and in the new blue ones.. the gold were better as they were way tighter on the foot and it felt great. the new blue ones n the newer models r too lose on the boot…. in terms of comfort 10/10 n shooting precise nice clean shot but in terms of quality a 1/10

literally if they are your game boots after 4 games you will see signs of wear n tear n thats from 4 times wearing them….

they cant last u more than 20 games n that doesnt include practises.

but if u got the money to keep buying new ones every 4 months the best boots by far

this is the best shoe ever made by man hehe.
ive been playing in my shoes for 2 years now inclusive practice and they look like as if they where brand new very nice a couple of scars nothing more. sure they cost more then your average fotball shoe but a pair of good quality shoes is the only thing you need in fotball not like hockey so i strongly recommend everyone to buy a pair of zhero gravity’s they are so worth it. the way it surrounds your foot is amazing so is the design and the accuracy nuff said and no it wont fall of its 2009 idiots!

Soccer Mom said: Comment 25 March, 2009 @ 11:05 pm

My son has been playing soccer for over 10 years, ODP for the last 6 years, and has tried every possible boot. He got Lotto Zhero Gravity boots last fall, played in them for practice 4 times a week and games once a week for 16 weeks; they still looked practically new other than a few scars, but no degradation of the material or assembly. At a recent game after rain, he changed to the longer cleats and he was the only player on the field that was not slipping. He swears by them, and now that he has outgrown that first pair, we are buying another. Price is a bit of a shock, but the performance has been incredible so we think it’s worth it. He’s been able to make amazing penalty kicks, great control in dribbling, and I think even his jump height for headers is improved. And these boots are definitely not about impressing anyone with the look or style - they are easily one of the ugliest boots I’ve seen!

(-)

sasa said: Comment 26 March, 2009 @ 1:22 pm

thats bul. I have had 2 pairs of them. the glue on the inside is very weak just like the adipures. the lotto zheros started to rip after 2 3 games with 1 slide tackle a little bit of grass got in there n started to open up the inside.

they are the best boots ever but definately dont last long iuno wat ur son does with them sit on the bench on the sidelines? they r not good quality.

Im looking at getting a pair but no local shops have any. Im a size 13 in vapours only to compensate for my slightly wider feet. can usually fit into 11.5 - 12 in most boots.

Will size 12 of these be right for my feet as i will have to resort to buying a pair online. Any help would be greatly appreciated

daniel said: Comment 26 May, 2009 @ 5:04 pm

i bought a pair of these on ebay a couple of weeks ago and in every other boot i am a 9 but when i played in these i took a freekick and the boot went further than the ball so i cleaned them and sold those ones and bought a size 8 which fit like a glove they dont even feel like you have a boot on but then i got taken out and i thought it was going to hurt but to be honest they are no more protected than my f50.8`s they are truely amazing i think they are better for a winger because you can get very good ball control and you can ping a ball beautifully in these highly recommended 10/10
but remember to get your feet measured first and then buy the exact right size
and another little trick to try its what i do get normall football socks and cut the foot out then get some plain nike leisure socks and put them on aswell then put your boots on and they fit even better let me know how you get on with this as it is very good for me

soccer mom said: Comment 8 June, 2009 @ 9:24 pm

My son often wears a pair of low-rise athletic sox under his knee-high soccer sox to get extra padding and have the boot fit more snugly. This way, we can get two seasons of wear before he outgrows them.
