How is the fitting of the mercurial vapors?

so what I am getting from these posts is that soccer cleats are ok and that light football cleats are better? Because my ankles are ok, its just that in the running shoes I have I can't cut at all, I like fall down or slip every time in the grass. What would you guys suggest?

[kryptonick]

I'd suggest anything with cleats to be honest! I've played a variety of sports on grass before Ultimate (mainly rugby and soccer) and cleated shoes help in all sports on grass. Nike Speed TD is only $60 on eastbay.com, as is the "Speed D Low" both of which I have been told are amazing. As I said earlier, I'm waiting for my TDs to arrive, I think they are coming by a pidgeon via Australia....

So today was a very good day. I bought a pair of Speed TD's on ebay ($25.50 shipped) and they arrived promptly a few days later. Then today out of nowhere another pair arrived. Apparently the guy I bought it from screwed up and now I got a free pair of sick cleats!

Oooh, what size? Any chance you'd part with them at a nice price?

THese are the adidas Corner Blitz 8 MD Mid. anyone buy these and can tell me how they are?

Might as well throw in my 2 cents.
I used to play ice hockey, and as a product of that, I have extremely strong ankles.  I also used to play soccer and when I first bought cleats to play higher level ultimate in, I went soccer.  I have friends that played football that went the football route.  It really comes down to what YOU want in a cleat and what your ankles are capable of taking.  I know guys who can cut like champs in soccer cleats, I also know guys who handle in football studs.  Whatever you feel comfortable in, is what you should play in.  I need the lightest cleats available because I'm a smidge better than average in terms of speed, so I need all the help I can get.  I just recently bought some cleats for a good price that are very comfy and I feel are going to last a good while.  Here's a linky http://www.motorcitysoccer.com/browse.cfm/4,1370.html

I've never had 'em, but I'd say stay away. Those things look heavy and horrible to cut in. Look for reciever cleats or soccer cleats.

I just got my Nike Speeds, they are amazing, I used them outdoors yesterday and they were incredibly comfortable. Due to the great indoor surface we have at uni I will try them indoors tonight to see what they are like there too.

This is only mildly related, but I suppose it is about cleats. I, for whatever reason, enjoy having very unorthodox, yet practical shoes in my various sports. I'll be buying a pair of Nike Speeds soon, and want to make them something different and eyecatching. Would it at all hurt the shoe to use spray paints on it do you think?

[kryptonick]

I would simply use nike ID for them to be honest.

I agree, thats what I did, its free just take an extra month to get your cleats, I'm 2 weeks into the wait now.

[Ben-I]

Who did you do this through? I just looked on the nike id website and they didn't offer the Speed TD in ID.

[rrudnic]

Guess its just the Super Speed on Nike Id.
