MactheCatNo1: bk1: Copa's everytime for me Im afraid. I use the mixed soled copa's when its soft. They are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. Couldn't agree more. Just returned using them after a few years trying others but dont know why i strayed really. Will be investing in the copa convertions when i need SG boots for sure. My last pair of copas lasted 6 years!

I recently got a pair and I love them. They make me feel professional and they are comfortable. The leather is as soft as a pillow and I find them easy to clean other than the tounge. No wonder I had so much trouble getting a pair....They are a 'proper' boot and I can see why the old skool keepers like them. I dont think I will change now. It's a shame the World Cups dont fit me but the Puma King's arent a bad pair either. Not as good as the Copa in my opinion.

Dida still needs a team! lol
Why be negative when you can be Positive? Beats me!
Keepers are criticised and praised, its the keepers choice to decide what to listen to.
I switch between the Total 90 (Leather version) and the Legend. Both fit me extremely well (Total 90 slightly better). Used to wear the Copa and the King in years past but changes in the fit made me walk away and now obvious reasons keep me away.
I just got some copas today ! they feel brilliant ! I needed a pair of fg boots so I thought I'd go with a classic.
have to be the most comfortable boots I've worn, and as others have said, by for comfort and fit not for gimmicks.
If preds etc fit and are comfortable for you, buy them ! its all personal preference.
Cheers
so if im a size uk 11.5 in the powerpulse, do you reckon that the fit will be right for me if i get a uk 11.5 in the copas?
i have wide feet that dont go well with most boots, causing them to tear eventually at the top portion for many brands of boots i have tried other then mizuno.
oh and do jk show their sizes in uk or us sizes? just wondering.
cheers!
Guys, what is better for a goalkeeper? A boot with conical, or blade studs?
Wee, JK has a sizing chart here, the normal JK store shows UK sizes while the USA JK store shows them in US I believe.
Interesting thread - in terms of boots obviously this is a personal thing it comes down to as the guys have said previously trying on lots of different boots and finding the most comfortable ones - I would say though try on all sorts of different stud variations both moulds and permanant studs, the reason for this is whilst living in the UK I used to go to different cobblers (shoe repairers) and have the stud set up changed on the boots, so that I could have a mix of moulds and permanant studs placed in (I think a boot company called A-Line also do the same thing as standard though) - I found that this provided me with the most comfort and tailored the boots to me.....in my expereince I have found that durablity is not effected (I do change boots every 4/5 months though) and the cost is not that heavy.....Just a thought encase anyone else finds boots that they don't think are sutible for the conditions they play in
Was all about Valsports to me!!
Comfort and durability always a fav
i have tried most of the brands and found my favourite boots are copas and mizunos. i have found mizunos to have some of the best leather out there and you get a great feel for the ball
personally i don't think there is a set best boot, it is all down to comfort and your own preference
also i am a 12.5 in preds and a 12 in copas. hope that helps
I always loved my Uhlsport Gk boots, but they were the first model that the likes of Tim flowers etc wore. I only replaced them when I got given a pre production pair of the first predator absolutes.
Since then Ive found Ive found the best fitting boot has been Mizuno.
Copa's are the second favorite boot I have owned. The first have to be the adipures. They're lighter and seem closer to the ground. They fit my feet brilliantly and I have not gotten blisters or any discomfort whatsoever in them. It's a shame adidas ALWAYS has to ruin a good thing and are releasing modified one's for the next line...
Goalkeeping is not just a position on the field, it is a way of life, it is an attitude on and off the field.
