Buying football equipment

[Elude]

Another one for ProDirect.

Picked up some tidy Nikes for my daughter last season for under $20. We were sure of her size in Nikes so it was all good. Got her boots from Rebel this season, but the selection in kids size was crap.

Will be using Prodirect again next season.

Do pro direct allow returns for incorrect size or new boots ripping?

I know my size and have a good idea of my kids so its never been an issue.

In 35 years of football, only boots I have ever had issues with was the Adidas Tunnit F50's. Seemed to come factory installed with stripped thread inserts. So, I've not had to test their returns policy.

Id suggest as with buying anything online cheap, the hassle of returns is something you have to weigh up. Ive never had an issue with them, but then I have never had to return anything.

Needing to buy my daughter her first pair of boots and shinpads, I will be visiting Kingsgrove Sports who have a branch in Parra to get her sorted.
Looking at a pair of Adidas Punteros

I envy all people that are able to choose what sort of boots, style, price, brand and colour you get..
My searching begins and ends with asking what they have in size 15..

I buy my normal shoes online (Adidas Superstars, finest footwear ever made) as I know what size fits me perfectly, but when it comes to football boots I need to get a good feel of how they would be on..

you'd think that with all the big blokes playing footy it'd be easy to get boots for a big marn

surprisingly not it seems

I've found that Asics seem to be the best for a larger kid like myself.. Nice and wide, larger makes, and good heal/ankle support..
I dont get any screw-ins or blades or boots like that.. Just after the standard moulded..
I would love to be able to go back to the days of getting Copa's again, but in honesty I don't look after my boots well enough to justify searching out a big enough pair.. hahaha

$45 for a pair of Nike Mercurial Vortex Juniors
not bad

Kingsgrove Sports will get my business from now on

kingsgrove is the best local sports store around here imo.
when i was playing cricket, used to get all of my gear from there, well informed, incredibly help and just all around good staff.

no idea right thread but hey.

Soo as a long time Copa Mundial users and I know of a few others.

Im looking at if I should buy the new copa 17? has anyone else?

[Shere Khan]

Original is by far the best.
No plastic fantastics.

Also try "The Football Nation". A smaller range than ProDirect but we have been getting our playing strips from them at 1/3 the cost of the local supplier and they deliver in under 2 weeks

Has anybody bought some cheap nets recently?
Just for kick around purposes/training. I remember pricing them before and they were pretty expensive. Have seen some on eBay recently, for $50ish.

Hey Fellas, I guess this is the most appropriate thread for this….

I’m looking to offload some boots – Adidas Ace Primeme, Black, Size 11 US.
I’ve only worn them in a trial and a couple of training sessions, they’re great boots but unfortunately slightly too small for me.

I paid $130, selling at $80
I still have the box and receipt is that matters.

If you’re interested or want more info/pics shoot me a PM

People want to talk about buying gear but many of you can’t help yourselves to insult others. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
