The Predator!, June 18, 2008
This review is from: adidas Men's Predator Powerswerve TRX FG DB Soccer Cleat (Apparel)
Adidas Predator PowerSwerve TRX FG DB
I bought the the Navy/Gold/Gold on sale for 89.00 and this has to be the best bargain anywhere. I got it primarily for match-day use :)
The Navy/Gold isn't kangaroo leather but its David Beckham signature product because it's illegal to wear kangaroo leather in California(you just learned something new). And since he plays for LA Galaxy, adidas had to make a boot especially for him using micro-fiber which requires easier maintenance compared to the K-leather to keep it's top shape, also one of the reasons I got them.
They come with two sets of insole/sockliner (pair of power-pulse and pair of adiprine), power-swerve neckstrap, predator boot-bag, and an utterly useless predator booklet(because I already knew it before).
My sizing was normal, I have been wearing size 10 adidas Absolion for the last two years and the size 10 Predator worked great for me. So if you have any doubts on sizing, go and try the Absolion at your local stores to get your size.
This is not for Turf(TF) Indoor(IN) Dry hard ground(HG) Wet ground(SG) use! Firm ground(FG) cleats are best for natural grass surfaces only, but some exceptions can be made on HG and SG fields but only some.

Awsome shoes!!! The only issue was that kangaroo leather is not permitted in the USA so you will not receive everything you promised. Also, a bit tight (you will use it with one pair of socks as opposed to two like most soccer players), you might want to order a size up.

Slick Cleats, October 28, 2010
This review is from: adidas Men's Predator Powerswerve TRX FG DB Soccer Cleat (Apparel)
I have always worn adidas cleats, specifically predators. They fit my foot perfectly and the weight of them is also great. I do not like cleats like Vapors that are super thin and uncomfortable just to be light. I would much rather wear a pair of cleats like these, that are a reasonable weight and are also comfortable. The cleat has a power strip on the insole side, which is meant for shooting or playing long balls. This grip on the cleat allows for a clean touch on the ball every time and the player still has a good feel for the ball. Also on the bottom of the cleat, there is a slot for this powder that adds weight to the cleat, making striking the ball easier and is supposed to allow the player to put more force behind the ball. I am not sure if this is necessary, but it does not bother me while playing so I don't mind it when Adidas puts it there. A pair of cleats does not make a soccer player better or worse, but if there is a pair of cleats that will give you an upper hand on your opponents, these predators would do the trick.
