Advantages: Great feel, very accurate

Disadvantages: Not particularly well made

I bought my Adidas Predator's nearly a year ago now, and so far I have been very impressed with them.

They are made out of Kangaroo leather (which apparently gives greater feel and control), and I have to say that I agree with Adidas on this one - I can feel exactly what the football is doing at my feet. It makes passing just that little bit easier.

These boots really come alive for free kicks - you can get an incredible amount of spin on the ball (I really do feel like Beckham), and their accuracy is second to none. I tried out a few direct free kicks from just outside the penalty box yesterday, and the ball went exactly where I wanted it to go.

They provide a lot of protection for your heel, but if your toes get stamped on it's gonna hurt, so be warned.

There are interchangable insoles (one which is very light for strikers who need to sprint a lot, and one which has weight at the toe for kicks, which is the one I use).

Unfortunatley, the glue that glues the leather at the front of the boot to the sole seems to be coming off - perhaps not such good quality, which is annoying seeing as how I paid about £120 for the boots.

Overall, these are very good boots. Recommended

Summary: A very nice pair of football boots
