I don't know how people do the thin uppers. Got stepped on my toes by a clumsy MF last night and woke up with pain

Having Mercurials only works if you are fast. Fast enough not to get stepped on

Anybody know if they make the adv match jerseys in generic team wear? And if so, any idea where to buy them?

 

[hutchie]

Dunno if its just me but i think the latest zoom mercurials doesnt have as bouncy air unit as the previous model. Still a good boot though

You're saying you tried on vapor 15 and 16 (or superfly 9 and 10) and the 15/9 is more bouncy? Did you play with both?

I’ve been meaning to ask for y’all experiences here, the SF 10 and Vapor 16 feel like entirely different boots to me.

On two pairs I tested for weeks the soleplate felt shockingly different. At first I thought I was trippin but trained in both for about 10 hours.

SF felt like a completely different ride compared to the Vapor and was the boot that originally blew me away. Really comfortable, feels almost cushioned. The Vapor in comparison was just kind of meh not really memorable.

The SF also wrap around your foot in a different way. They simultaneously felt more roomy and more snug at the same time, in a really good way. But I’m certain they are actually much roomier. You can basically slip them on even with the dynamic colar and top down view they appear to be wider.

I have Vapor 15 but they didn’t get much use. Overall I’d have to go 16 over 15 because of the upper but the Zoom Unit on the 15 seemed more noticeable.

Thanks. That's great feedback. I've always gone vapor model because I hate the high ankle sock for superfly. And I've always been told the superfly and vapor are exactly the same except the sock. This is very enlightening to hear you say the outsole of the superfly is better than vapor.

What about the new superfly VS the vapor 15? Are those similar?

He even has on grip socks to go with it. Left foot is the tiempo, right foot is the mercs

BUT I just learned about this newer Japanese brand called Adler that makes all K leather boots with stitched on soleplates for very reasonable prices. I'm intrigued but have no immediate need, so maybe a future purchase way later on.

Nvm they are back in stock so I got them. These are nice in hand so far

 

[El Argentino]

Every single firsthand report I get on Adlers are all glowing.

 

[AZwildcats]

Unfortunately they don’t make anything above a size 10 US

 

[ICE CITY CF]

AZwildcats aint you like size 13.

But damn nothing over 10 is wild.

yep. Helps me get my boots relatively cheap, but there are drawbacks

 

[AZwildcats]

Definitely gonna try to get these, first color of the 16 that appeals to me

 

[sleepybluedemon]

They basically look like the first Mizuno Alpha colorway to me.
