Best football boots for Gaelic Games?

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Puma kings are rubbish, the inside fall apart badly.
copa's are decent but they tear very easily i find. Ive about 4 right boots that are near perfect but the lefts were all tore.
Had a pair of preds and they fell apart cos the bottom came off.
Got a pair of adipure blades (soft and hard ground)now, nice soft leather and comfy.

Predators are a danger imo. Get lodged in the ground way to easily. I ruptured ankle ligaments at the weekend in them.

Scruffy sorry to hear about the ankle.
But what you are essentially saying is that preds are TOO good at what they do?
ie give you grip on grass.

Copa Mundials/World Cups for me, adidas fit suits my long narrow feet. Like Puma Kings as well though.

I wouldn't say those O Neils boots are made in Ireland some how.

Well yes thats the other side of it. I suppose in winter on wet slippy surfaces predators with blades are the business. But in Summer on hard ground they nearly give too much grip which can cause injury as well i know of.

Lads it's not the boots that are important, it's the feet in them.
