Football Boots Online

Dr Galen

anyone know anywhere online that sells good boots cheaply?
went looking for mine this afternoon and they have gone missin.......i'm assuming that we're still gonna play on the astro pitches, so maybe a pair of astro boots would be better?

MrJoeSoap

I got a pair of Nike multiground (all surfaces) in JJB for 50 quid. Not sure about online though.

cormie

Joe, are them boots permited for astro too? Like it wouldn't a problem with the no grass boots rule? Are they ok for grass? I need a new pair, my other ones are killing me, they are too small and I'd like a pair I could use on grass as well as astro. Are they ok to use on concrete too?

Joe purchased them boots from me in jjb (with a discount of course). I read the footwear criteria on the astro.ie site and unfortunately I dont think theyll be allowed. They area a kind of mini stud but are definitely too long for concrete.

If it's any consolation I could probably hook you up with a cheap pair of proper astro turf runners.

cormie

Damn, I was hoping to kill a few birds with the same stone there. Do you reckon Astro runners would be any use on grass, and would it be ok for the actual runners? I need something for the astro anyway so if you're certain they wont be allowed, I might for for just the runners, if they are allowed I'll go for them though:) Which JJB are you in?

Im up in Blanchardstown. If you cant get out there and wanna trust my judgement you can tell me your size and Ill just pick a pair up.

They would be good on grass once its dry. If it's wet theyll give you no grip whatsoever. Proper runners wont be any use for the surface we'll play on, especially if it's wet in the winter.

cormie

I'll wait and see if the all surface ones are definitely not allowed on the astro park and if not I might get a pair of the astro runners off you. My friends dad can get cheap umbro stuff so I might do that instead

Q_Ball

so we're gonna need two sets of boots, one for grass and one for astro turf?

Gonna have to pick up a pair of astro boots anyway but i may be in the market for a pair of boots too (looks xavi's general direction...;) )

Dr Galen

looks like it, i've been looking around the net as well so i'll post any decent links i find up here, but if Xavi works on commission he could find himself quids in ha ha

KdjaCL

Which JJB do you work in? Liffey alley by any chance? Team Discounts?


I can ehh store your files or shred them



kdjac

cormie

He works in the Blanch one, bit of a treck from bray but maybe the discount will make it worth it:D

Xavi, do you reckon if the all surface ones are actually allowed on the astro, they would be good to get because I could use them for grass too, right? I'm clueless when it comes to boots

I had a look at the astro.ie website and it looks to me as if the multi ground boots arent going to be allowed. The multigoriunds are allowed on most astros so its a bit of a pain cause it means that you're gonna need regular boots for grass then astro runners for the games.

As for team discount, jjb are as tight as **** when it comes to it so I can probably only swing a couple of pairs at a low cost. There is however some great value on astro runners at the moment as in half price stuff. God I sound like a bad sales man.

KdjaCL

Was in JJB today and as ever they cheap as **** seen 3 decent pairs for sub 30 and more in the dodgy boxes.

No Decent umbro ones so im getting a pir of Nike for 37:50


kdjac

cormie

Are all surface ones good for grass anyway though? What I might do, is just get a pair of all surface ones and try them on the astro, see if I'm allowed. If not, then that's ok, sure they can be used for grass, unless it would be much better to have grass specific ones for grass?

Even with the multi grounds you will need longer studs come the winter when the grass is wet and slippy. Id suggest getting a pair of boots and a pair of astro runners. Unfortunately there isnt a type that covers everything.

cormie

Ok thanks for the advice:) and as far as the JJB range goes, what ones should I get and how much are they?

Check these bad boys. Nike First Touch astros. They were €55 and as I far as I know theyre down to €27.50. We have a lot of sizes right now but theyll fly out. Very comfotable and solid.

cormie

They don't look too bad at all and a good price too:) How about grass boots too then? My ones at the moment are crushing my feet

Will you be in work before training on Thursday? Would it be impractical to bring them, especially if they don't fit?

So €27.50 for the astros with a staff discount of what, 15%? equals about €24;)

its actually 20% but there is a middle man fee!!

well im in work between 10 and 6 tomorrow and wednesday. if they dont fit you're kinda screwed. we have plenty of boots as well though.

cormie

Tomorrow and thursday you mean:)?

I might actually pop out if I can get them at that price and get a further 20% off minus middle man fee on both pairs I buy. What would you recommend in boots? Have you got the half price sale on for boots too?

Xavi6

ha ha yeah thats what i mean. you probably would be best poppin out yourself. as i said ill be there all day. if you want you could pop up before training on thursday and maybe five and myself, yourself and MrJoeSoap can head down from there? whatever suits you.

cormie

Yeah that could be an idea alright. I'll let you know, did you mean to say "around five" or is five a member on boards who'll be coming with yourself, joe and me? I can give you lads a lift down anyway which can be your middle man cut;)

Xavi6

sorry i meant AT five with me and joe. yeah a lift could swing the deal your way!! sure let me know tomorrow and we'll sort something.

cormie

Cool, will do:) Just keep a size 10 or 11 aside in them ones for me:) and what grass boots do you recommend that you have and what pricing is on them?

KdjaCL

Cormie will travel miles for free stuff!!!

that depends on whether you'd prefer studs or mouldies. we have all sorts so you're best just coming in and ill show you whats best.

cormie

Haha, I sure will Kdjac:D you know all too well.

I don't know the difference between studs or mouldies but I'll wreck your head when I'm out there.

Dr Galen

will need astro boots tho i'd say, so JJB will prob get my vote for them as I've saved quite a few euro on these.

I never even knew there was cream for blisters! Ill have to give ya a call then
if the blisters start bullying me.

I usually put loads of baby powder in my socks. After 6 games my astro runners
are about broken into. That was a horrible ordeal. Yuck...uh hate blisters so sore.

KdjaCL

Not just wear them for a day or 2 just avoiding public places.

Works for me.

cormie

My feet are in a bad state from my boots. Think they are too small

Are them boots you linked to actually usually £100 or does it just say that?

By the way, Xavi, pm me your number, let's just say I'll be in JJB around 5.30 or so, if I can't make it, I'll let you know with a text/call

Dr Galen

yeah i had a look around and i think they are. Looks like a good deal alright and thats sterling too

btw...

if anyone has a spare pair of size 9 or 10 boots lying around any chance u could bring em along tomorow night? As i've said my old boots can't be found and my new ones won't arrive til next week sometime. if not I'll have to make do with trainers.......praying it don't rain

BlackWizard

Tomorrows weather aint looking too bad so runners would do fine.

Ive not got a size 10. Ive a spare size 13 addidas which = 11.5ish

Dr Galen

cheers man but they'll prob be too big. Used to have adidas one that were 10.5 tho i thinks....

Xavi6

I may have an pair of Puma King mouldies lyin around in a size 10 if thats any use. Ive about 5 or 6 pairs of boots but not a chance of you gettin my Preds or Copa Mundials!!!

cormie

What's with the 13 = 11.5? Is this why my size 10 boots are too small? Got your pm Xavi, that's cool yeah:)

Grand job. As for the sizes, maybe you're goin by the US size and not the UK as US are one ize different i.e. a size 11 US is equal to a size 10 UK.

Got them today in JJB €45 a but too much padding for my liking but perfect for astro.

Wearing them all day need them broken in for my glorious guest appearance for Pats tomorrow



kdjac

Dr Galen

your what?

KdjaCL

At half time tomorrow in the Pats Dundalk game i have to take a free kick ,3 Pats fans vs 3 Dalk fans. been practising all day Bend it like Fahey

BlackWizard

Some of the Adidas boots are "tight" fitting.

Ive two pairs of Adidas predator pulse

Im a size 11.5. So usually I swing with size 12 in almost everything.

For Adidas boots I have to wear a size UK 13 / US 13.5

Ill show them to you next time you are at training. When you're holding them in
your hand they do not look like size 13 at all.

Sole to sole they are the same size as my Nike astro boots which are size 12 UK.
But the Adidas ones are tighter fitted.
