    An extra for me, at least, is that they don't come in flashy colours.
    Most of my teammates play with the copa mundial and probably will when they buy there next pair.


    I hope my 1000th post was at least helpful
    Oh and good point about the greasing. I've never done that but when I have the cleats can last seasons!

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    Hey, thanks for all the help guys!

    I'm thinking I'm going to go for the copa mundials. What exactly do you grease them with?

    One more question - how do sizes vary through makers? My current Nikes at size nine fit perfectly, and I hope they all use similar sizing.

    I always get bright yellow ones, and don't care about the make or quality

    Adidas Predator PowerSwerve. I've been wearing the predator series since Predator pulse came out (I know it hasn't been that long). Anyway I've always prefered Adidas over Nike, and Predator suits my playing style.

    Yea no problemo mate.

    And to grease the cleats you use Chelsea Leather Food


    And well size does matter on who makes the cleats as it's the same as buying shoes lol. Not everyone makes it the same size

    Just look for grease in the shoe shining products. There are enough on the market, some specifically for sport shoes.

    It's very important that your football shoe fit you perfectly. Only buy them after you run a few meters in the store with them when wearing an extra pair of football socks. You'll know soon enough if they are the right size.
