Umbro is very weird and Their lineup changes dramatically through the world. They don't have any great high end models but at least for turf boots here in Brazil they offer the Umbro Tocco 3 Premier, which costs around 63 dollars in Brazil and is the absolute king of value for money , with the Asics Destaque coming right behind. Mind you, here a nike premier 3 tf costs 200 dollars but is imported, unlike the umbro and thus there are less taxes
Went and tried these boots yesterday after watching this and a few other videos. Felt fine, so I took them home. Purchased the same size as I wear in Copas and Sambas, US11. Just finished up a 90-minute training session complete with scrimmage, and I have to say that I suffered none of the discomfort or issues mentioned in this video. Heel is fine, they don't slip around, lock down is normal, don't feel low or narrow. Zero problems. Touch on the ball was great and traction on a soggy pitch was superb. Oh, and my daughter has had her pair for a couple of weeks now and also has no comfort concerns.
just got them last week with a sweet offer for 50$ and went through 2 training session, it felt nice. I am a traditional tiempo user and this is my first predator but I quite like it
The heel containment I fixed by just lacing my boots differently and using the lime runners loop or whatever it fixes that and the shape fits my feet perfectly better than any elite mercurial or predator accuracy ever has 💯
Given it’s from a big brand and such he will be absolutely upset. We know his Kappa Rattler,Concave and Nitrocharge 2.0 video being some of the videos where he went hard 😂
@@phananhnguyen4111 I do mainly I didn’t put them in cuz he made so much fun of them 😂😂. Of coz he dislike it but the fact he used it as a running joke made it funny that for me I don’t think I need to include it
I have this boot, it's typical Adidas that I have to go 1/2 size up. However, I find it very comfortable and have no problems. This is definitely personal opinion and a great option for those who can't afford the £300 version. (Which is most working class individuals who take up football ⚽)
Okay, I don’t really think you guys are thinking it through. The boot is GREAT okay and the heel can be fixed through a different lace tying method. If you use the one loop method then the boot will feel fixed onto your feet and comfortable like the elite but if you use the bunny ears one then it won’t work. I hate that a lot of people keep criticizing the boot, it’s a pretty good boot tbh.
Got these couldn’t take them back, grips socks and runners loop helped a lot with the heel slip to the point it doesn’t happen now, boots moulded to foot more and is comfortable
Probably not the first time where top brands selling trash quality takedown models and call it a day almost seems like they're selling the brand instead of their own quality. Nike and adidas have been doing it for years with the club/academy version. The same reason why people still buy fake football boots is because they're almost the same price if not cheaper and have almost the same quality. Sure it hurts the market for these brands but people wouldn't buy counterfeit items if the takedowns is really good and worth the price they're paying for
I actually tried these in a store mainly because I was looking for something within a budget but I genuinely hated them, they gave me this weird pinching near my toes which felt awful, luckily I purchased a pair of Copas instead. Way better
Man I'm so grateful that you're taking the time to do what you do. Your content is invaluable. I've saved so much money on these poor cleats. Continue your good work bro👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I just got the predators and they were so uncomfortable! And I don’t ever take a lot of games to adjust to any boots but the the predators have been the worst boots to wear And josh is right the fitting is terrible my feet kept slipping out
Nice Review, i expected very much of the Pro Version but after ur review i will look after something other. Had the same feeling when i tried the crazyfast 2.
I was about to buy my son the predator pros. His been wearing Tiempos and loving them but since the move from K leather, we thought we check out the predators. Store didn’t have any in his size so we could not try them on, but so glad I watched this vid. Will be checking out NB 442 maybe.
Any chance you can review the League AG 2g/3g? For the first time adidas have actually made a good looking ag sole that isn't a tf trainer or with the usual overly long AG studs
Are the Elites as bad? I (thankfully) got a pair of the base model for very cheap. They have the same issue. So shallow, laces won’t tie. Right foot not so bad. Pressure on outside of left foot is borderline painful.
Hi Josh. Will you review the Adidas Predator League Laceless FG? Based on the images I’ve seen and the low price point, they look quite good… I’d be interested to know your thoughts on them
Thank you for this! I ordered 3 different pairs and none of them fit. I have quite wide feet but still it felt extreme. I wore a pair for 10 minutes and my feet were busting to get outta there. GOnna get some Copa Pure II's instead. Thanks so much for this confirmation!
We just got these in the store and yeah I definitely can feel my heel slipping out, the lockdown in the back is really bad. With all the movement too, I wouldn't be surprised if I got blisters. And there was like an uncomfortable pressure on the heel as well. Rest of the boot felt fine though, and was exactly true to size.
I wish I watched your video before I purchased this and then replaced it for a 2nd pair. Guess I’ll be returning that also. wore the 1st one 1x and it was hard on my Achilles.
I just received these boots and can say that maybe this review was accurate for his feet but was definitely not accurate for me. I played professionally (not anymore, in my late 30's now) and can say that while they aren't the BEST fit, they actually fit my feet quite well out of the box. Didn't feel that the sole plate was overly stiff nor was the heel cup completely uncomfortable. The heel isn't a glove-like fit but feels quite secure. perhaps $180CAD could have been better spent but I'm satisfied for the moment
worse than the Predator Edge that had the weird giant foot box? I have a pair of the Edge.1 that i got on sale for $20 and i refuse to wear it because on cold days the plastic does not like to bend and actually hurts my toes and feet. So this must be way worse?
Got this boot with the mg outsole q2. I have high and wide feet. Its very hard to find good shoes for me. And those shoes fit me pefectly, like no other shoe did. I have been using them for a few days now. I have a few blisters here and there, but this is something i always have, so im used to it. Something i havent experienced before is a blister on my right heel that i got from football. My left foot is bigger than my right, so i got no problem with them. What do you guys recommend. I still need to break them in so i dont know how it will be in the future. But as i said this is one of the only shoes that have fit me. And i only got them for about 50 euros.
So I was able to see these boots in person and I wanted to ask if on the new elite models the sole plate was the same as the FT version because on the launch colorway all of the elite models have the shiny looking sole plate but on this new colorway it looks like a takedown model soleplate
It's not only my sensation... I feel the same with originals models, are made this way. Adidas usually had a good structure, usually they have the best fit but I what you say it's true something is changed🖖🏾
've never understood why Adidas have been so bad, with a very few exceptions, with their takedown models through the years. Heavy, clunky and with a different fit to the top tier model.
Hi can you confirm that this fitting issue is the same on the Pro MG model too, I’m interested in purchasing the Pro MG model because it’s the first time they’ve introduced a new option away from the one that’s been there since the Adidas Nemisis and curious to know what affect that has on the fitting
I have bought them and have been using it for a few days now. I have wide and high feet and it is really hard to find football shoes that fit. This one tho, it fit me perfectly. Im getting a few blisters here and there but thats something i always get
I lit wanted to buy these lol but I can see how the heel isn’t rlly comfortable can u review the x crazyfast pro too I wanna know or predator pro or crazyfast pro
Adidas with their garbage takedown boots is good enough to use “still a better love story than twilight” joke at this point. Not many can afford the high end models but it doesn’t help when the budget friendly options are absolutely trash
Does anyone know if the Elite TF (turf version) is more like the actual Elite or more like this Pro version? I've seen mixed reviews so far. I have one on the way but now I'm starting to regret my order a little. Should have maybe gone for the Pure 2 Elite TF?
Tried the elite turfs on the other day. They were very uncomfortable; this review generally captures everything I felt. Copa TF felt like a foot massage after these.
I ordered the Elite TF with a big family discount. However, they were so bad they had to go back, paid full price for some Puma’s instead, which are far superior.
It almost seems like adidas makes the take down models bad in order to make consumers lean towards buying the more expensive versions. To this day, no other take down boot has come close to the Adidas Predator Absolute Absolion from 2006-07. It was even better than many elite boots of the past 15 years!
Predator never were comfortable on the beguinin, those botes are for midfields or DC like Kluivert... You must to adapt always to the shoes at your position... Are great boots for natural grass, not for artificial.

Sorry about that! There’s definitely more room in these than the Elites but the fit in the heel just overrules all of that for me - and you’ll still get all of that volume in the League with a much much better fit. My bad idea that was unclear /Jay
The worst boot? Let's hope Umbro or Under Armour don't see this video and feel challenged

Ditto. Think Josh might have wide foot
Wtf is a scrimmage? Keep your silly USA terms out of football please and thank you 😂
I think he has a problematic foot. I just bought yesterday. And it felt good. Haven't played on ground. But i think iti is p/p over elite version..
just got them last week with a sweet offer for 50$ and went through 2 training session, it felt nice. I am a traditional tiempo user and this is my first predator but I quite like it
I have the Predator Pro MG and i have non of all this problems. They feel good. I think its a personal Problem with his foot 😂

I don’t think I’ve EVER heard of Josh so upset and against a boot before 😂 maybe the Predator Edge but I’m only 1:58 into the video 😂
bro ikr, this is funny asf 😭
The Kappa Rattler video is also one of his best 🤣

Really looking forward to which Predator to buy for use on Artificial grass, Can you review the new Elite AG (2G/3G) and Elite Turf.
Last years predator model Accuracy+ or .1
I got Predator 24 League, nice to know they will be better.
Takes me back to some of the F30 unboxing/review vids from 12-10 or so years ago.
Too many models, but when you go to an adidas store in the US for example at Garden State Plaza in NJ they have only the club model.
Funnily enough I have tried on so many boots in so many stores and the predator pro are the only ones that fit and feel somewhat comfortable. LOL
Love the honesty. 😊
Just bought these true to size from Sportchek and they feel great. My second predator pair
Thanks for your honesty Josh!
Man I'm so grateful that you're taking the time to do what you do. Your content is invaluable. I've saved so much money on these poor cleats. Continue your good work bro👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Was gonna pull thr trigger o this ine, but we all know better to wait for Joshinho review before anything 😂
Will You Review the League takedown as well? Would love to see it!
Before watching and seeing the reasons - I’m shocked as Jay Mike seemed to think the Pro version was generally quite good.
Really? I think I said that I’d take the League over these to be fair 😅 /Jay
@@unisportwassup Jay
At this point the best adidas boots that aren't top models are Copa Gloro
I just got the predators and they were so uncomfortable!
And I don’t ever take a lot of games to adjust to any boots but the the predators have been the worst boots to wear
And josh is right the fitting is terrible my feet kept slipping out
Such a huge gap between the pro and elite😢 Interested to hear about the Copa pure 2 pro next, Great video !
Here's that review! Just a name change from .2 to Pro ua-cam.com/video/OPyEjZznH6o/v-deo.html
@@Soccerreviewsforyou thank you!
Nice Review, i expected very much of the Pro Version but after ur review i will look after something other. Had the same feeling when i tried the crazyfast 2.
I bought the Crazyfast 2 for $64 on sale at adidas. It was worth it for that price.
that was actually surprising for me

I am getting these for $ 80 should i go for them?
Can you review elite turf?
even all their indoor shoes have the same shallowness fit
I am looking forward for reviews of the copa gloro tf, because they are my only hope of a good adidas turf boot for me
And I watched some reviews of copa gloro indoor that said it doesn't have enough sole cushion, if any at all
Have you tried laceeless Take down version? Are they also bad?
year just started bro
We just got these in the store and yeah I definitely can feel my heel slipping out, the lockdown in the back is really bad. With all the movement too, I wouldn't be surprised if I got blisters. And there was like an uncomfortable pressure on the heel as well. Rest of the boot felt fine though, and was exactly true to size.
I bought these to give to my opponents. We won 10-0 they had 50 shots but 0 on target thanks Josh 👍🏼
Which one should i go for pro or league version?
Ok but Is the Elite any better? Since regarding the shape around the heel is pretty much the same...
Adidas made 2 different types of AG (4G & 2G/3G) for the Preds. I wanna hear your review on both models.
Hi Josh I have a question for you Adidas Predator 24 pro OR Adidas Crazyfast pro fg OR Nike Phantom GX pro which one should I buy?
Fir me crazy fast there insane
I can’t choose between predator pro and crazyfast pro too
I wish I watched your video before I purchased this and then replaced it for a 2nd pair. Guess I’ll be returning that also. wore the 1st one 1x and it was hard on my Achilles.
I bought these ..ended up with blisters. ..it's really uncomfortable ..the worst boots ever ... I'm not kidding
The predators always rubbed my heels and gave me terrible blisters...stick to Copa sense or Gloro. Nike Tiempo legend 9 has a great fit as well
Mizuno is the way to go , I love to get new boots . Ones you get Mizuno is hard to change
Damn, very straightforward review 😂
I just bought them tbh i think it’s good mine doesn’t feel bad

Yeah, I've seen other reviews that weren't nearly as critical as this one. Wonder why the great disparity?
Looks very nice, but took me so long to put on that I returned 30 min after arrived 😅
i tried them yesterday and was very uncomfortable
Just bought a pair amd my heel for aure slides. Maybe i can break into them? Ill give them a day, if not im returning them
Please do a review of the turf version as well? I don't buy anything before your approval lol smh
I bought the elite TF, kinda tight like my Copa Pure 1
@@nicklauschin82 are they really clunky and heavy? Not getting a lot of good reviews online.
Yes, very heavy and uncomfortable. I couldn’t put up with them and bought something else

Hi Jacob, which is worse? Kappa Rattler or this boot?
Hey Josh, can you review the Mizuno Morelia Neo 3/4 pro? I need to know if it’s worth it.

I wanted to buy these boots so bad but thanks for the video, you saved me 150€
I like em tbh they feel good to me and they are comfy maybe it’s just because the way my foot is
Whew.....Diadora, Umbro, and Under Armour all just breathed a sigh of relief 😅😅😅
Do these boot break in?
So I was able to see these boots in person and I wanted to ask if on the new elite models the sole plate was the same as the FT version because on the launch colorway all of the elite models have the shiny looking sole plate but on this new colorway it looks like a takedown model soleplate
Josh woke up this morning and chose chaos 😂
Adidas just sucks at making takedowns
What a great football boots❤. I am a good footballer and I understand the design, it's for playmakers. ❤
Josh can you review the league/.3 versions is possible?
That’s coming very soon 👍
It's not only my sensation... I feel the same with originals models, are made this way. Adidas usually had a good structure, usually they have the best fit but I what you say it's true something is changed🖖🏾
He's not lying, tried this cleats on in Dicks sporting store, very uncomfortable fit, looks beautiful but horrible fit.
"And you get all of that for just 150 bucks" Adidas is writing down this marketing tactic as we speak 😂
Got this boot for half price so I’ll make it work 😂
Adidas take down downs are always so bad. The heel is always so bad even back with the old f50 take downs.
Buy the New Balance 442. Better fit and bang for your buck!
Bro went straight to on feet you know it’s bad bad
How does adidas get this so wrong?
've never understood why Adidas have been so bad, with a very few exceptions, with their takedown models through the years. Heavy, clunky and with a different fit to the top tier model.
You're are right 😢 too late I already bought one.
How was your experience? Did it feel good
So Adidas deadass just made high heel football boots
Hi can you confirm that this fitting issue is the same on the Pro MG model too,
I’m interested in purchasing the Pro MG model because it’s the first time they’ve introduced a new option away from the one that’s been there since the Adidas Nemisis and curious to know what affect that has on the fitting
I have bought them and have been using it for a few days now. I have wide and high feet and it is really hard to find football shoes that fit. This one tho, it fit me perfectly. Im getting a few blisters here and there but thats something i always get
I lit wanted to buy these lol but I can see how the heel isn’t rlly comfortable can u review the x crazyfast pro too I wanna know or predator pro or crazyfast pro
So if the heel wasn’t crap they would be a good option for low volume narrow feet.
Potentially, but in general the shape is off.
Adidas with their garbage takedown boots is good enough to use “still a better love story than twilight” joke at this point. Not many can afford the high end models but it doesn’t help when the budget friendly options are absolutely trash

What about the League version which is the third tier?
It almost seems like adidas makes the take down models bad in order to make consumers lean towards buying the more expensive versions. To this day, no other take down boot has come close to the Adidas Predator Absolute Absolion from 2006-07. It was even better than many elite boots of the past 15 years!
damn this sucks. I really love the way these look. but good looking out though . love the honesty
is predator club good?
Shot for the review, I was considering this boot…definitely a NO
Predator never were comfortable on the beguinin, those botes are for midfields or DC like Kluivert...
You must to adapt always to the shoes at your position...
Are great boots for natural grass, not for artificial.
If i could get those for 50€ should i buy
I thought they would be good so get the phantom gx 2 pro?
Tiempo legend 10
