Fresh pickup

Post image

I’ve been struggling to find boots that give me a snug fit without been to tight around the front foot, used to love wearing Nikes but I have to half size up and the dead space at front makes them super uncomfortable for me.

Recently tried on the new predators, true to size and they were absolutely insane as soon as I put them on. You know that feeling when you find the right pair and you’re just like ‘woah’ they tick that box for me.

Went for the world cup in AG and the classic gun metal in FG.

Very nice. I’ve been contemplating ordering me a pair of these to coach in. Had the og’s back in the day.

they recently released the classic black/red colour way which in hindsight I would have preffered over the world cup colourway.

Mate same! Haha started coaching over the summer after helping out the last couple of years and finally thought I might grab a pair instead of continuing to fall on my arse

Good for you dude!

I really like the looks of this current predator but the fit is just abysmal for my foot.

You find it too narrow or just uncomfortable all around? I really wanted to enjoy the Nike phantoms but cannot get them to fit me at all.

Absolutely love this colour way

Used to look at the OG back on pro direct back on the day. Then my mate for a pair and it was like wow.

Too bad the predators simply don’t suit my feet otherwise I would have had these boots.

Tried like 3 different sizes on, and they just killed my toes

mate same, I remember looking through catalogues every time we got one just day dreaming hahaha, they didnt even make elite boots for tiny child feet back then.

They fit me because I have weirdly short toes but wideish forefoot, so odd.

Nice. That design and the one before was great. The new one is awful in my opinion

my son loved those shoes. The sole came unglued at the toe on the Predators so I currently got him some Nike Phantom 6's because the reviews I've seen say they have more space in the toe box. We'll see how he likes those.

i've seen loads as well about the glue, does worry me as i've already seen some small gaps where the glue has popped out slightly.

EBay and Vinted, new pairs pop up all the time from people that wear them once and don’t like them etc. Both were in original box with boot bag and wrapping around inside shoe etc.
