| asdasd12345's Full Review: Adidas Predator Accelerator Liga |
Many people fall victim to this classic marketing gimmick by Adidas - STEP 1) Get the world's best soccer players to wear your shoe by giving them loads of money, 2) Regular Joes on the street corner think if they wear this shoe they will become just as good as the superstars, 3) Make the shoes ridiculously expensive. No matter what shoe you wear, it does not make you a better or worse player. It is however to get a shoe with good ankle protection and one that is light-weight.
The Adidas Predator Mania is a comfortable shoe, and offers good ankle protection. The fact of the matter is that the Predator Fins do not help curve the ball, in fact when it gets wet the ball just slides off them. Also the shoe is quite a heavy shoe and this is more-so in wet conditions because the leather is not water-proofed and it absorbs a great deal of water, making them even heavier. I owned these shoes for about a month before I decided to get rid of them, and they gave me terrible break-in blisters while I was wearing them. Overall, I would not recommend the Adidas Predator Mania's or probably any other Predators. They are Adidas's most over-priced shoe and they are not as sturdy as the Copa Mundial. Adidas does offer some good cleats, but I would seriously reconsider when thinking of spending over $100 on a soccer shoe. The most important factors are 1) Ankle support 2) Light-weight 3) Comfort 4) Price. Do not be cheap when buying soccer shoes - the cheap models do not offer good support and will lead to injury. I found out this the hard way buying a cheap pair of Adidas DX-2 for $25 and breaking my ankle on the second game in them.
