Football Boots

[Skipdog]

Boots arrived this morning, great fit and feel quite comfy.

Just been wearing them around the house for a couple of hours but I'm getting new shoe blisters/rubbing.

Any tips on how to break them in and stop the initial blisters?

Try twin layer socks can buy them in most running shops or search online. Also i get these little plastic things from pound shops that women use for high heels.

Trained in my T90s last night, first time I've ever played in a pair of them and they were class. No blisters or anything and I was doing high intensity fitness to start with with a lot of turning and quick movements. I do find wearing two pairs of socks helps, been doing it for years now.

What football boots do you all use?

I'm looking to get some astro turfs and boots for the start of uni's football season and I'd appreciate some suggestions.

I'm currently looking at the new Nike Tiempo boots.

Cheers.

Sergio?

rub vaseline where the boots are rubbing you, i do it with every new pair of boots and have no probs

I've just bought the older version of the preds aswell, black and blue

Can agree with most of the points people have given you. Being a bit more traditional with my boots I rub dubbin into them. Softens the leather right up and protects them against the wet.

Might not work with yours but give it a try.

Thanks. I'll give them a try. I was wearing two pairs of socks earlier but no luck.

I've heard that soaking them in warm water helps. Anyone heard this?

Yeah my mate did it when he got a new pair of Vapors, he wore them in the bath before he used them. It works to a certain extent but they still fucked his feet up for the first game

I'll put them in the sink overnight then and still do the vaseline/ sock trick.

Hopefully it won't be too painful :)

I think the idea of wearing them in the bath is to help them loosen in the shape of your foot

Yeah, good point. A bath it is then.
