I have never had a pair od Adidas cleats that I didn't like. I can't stand Nike cleats because they dont fit my foot shape that well.

What you really need to do is figure out if you have wide, average or narrow feet and do you have high arches or regular. If you do those things... a good shoe guy can get you in cleats you will like. With that in mind I would at least visit a soccer shop to get fitted before buying. As a general rule people at shoe/ generic sporting good stores don't understand what you want out of cleats.

Adidas all the way! And after that I think it depends on what you can afford.


(sorry I can't be more of a help, I haven't bought a new pair of cleats in years)

It is a drive, but try Team Gear in Midvale/Ft. Union.

Don't buy Nike...they are the evil empire. Plus Adidas sponsors MLS. Certainly go with something in the Adidas lineup. I haven't bought cleats for a bit so I can't recommend anything more than the brand that I have worn for years.

The best pair I ever had were Le Coq Sportif. I'm dead serious, too.

I got them from our friend Connie at Soccer International, and I wore them until they practically exploded.

I'd have to agree with the Adidas recommendation. I've simply never had a bad pair of Adidas boots.

Er, cleats. Sorry. :upset:

Be Careful what you buy though, I bought cleats I thought were awesome and really comfortable, and brought them home only to discover---they were made from kangroo!
