VIP Edition Puma PowerCat Football Boots - ACE Feet in Motion!

Editor — Sat, 15 May 2010 08:00:00 GMT

Ever wanted a pair of performance football boots custom made to fit your feet perfectly? Puma have teamed up with ACE 'Feet in Motion' and Pro Direct Soccer to make this possible, through a unique service previously only available to the very top professional players.

The SoccerBible received a special invitation from Puma, ACE and Pro Direct Soccer to visit the clinic and manufacturing facility in Cardiff to be given the VIP treatment for the day.

The process, exclusive to the new Puma PowerCat boots, involves a truly VIP experience where your boots are hand made from basic components to the exact specification of YOUR feet. Size, width and orthotic intervention is no longer a problem, as all can be accommodated. Because of the unique manufacturing/clinical facility at ACE, any orthotic intervention necessary is assessed as part of the process and any correction needed is built into the construction of the boots. The bespoke boots are made to perfectly match and compliment your feet and movement on the pitch.

ACE 'Feet in Motion' are a podiatric biomechanical clinic with a full manufacturing facility, and have looked after the feet and sports footwear needs of such sports stars as Andrew Flintoff, Peter Crouch, Ryan Jones and Michael Carrick. They are expert at providing all podiatric requirements and the delivery of this unique process.

Popular football boot myths such as breaking your boots in, wearing them in the bath to fit or even getting them a size smaller than your feet only enhance the problem - boots that

don't fit correctly like this can lead to various problems including; an inappropriate running gait, lack of balance, ankle sprains, shin splints, foot, ankle, knee or hip pain. If you are worried by, or suffer from any of these problems, or if you are just having problems finding boots that fit correctly, Puma and ACE will hand make your own bio-mechanically correct boot, enabling you to deliver a 100% confident performance everytime you step onto the pitch!

STEP 1: The process begins with extensive biomechanical analysis, both physical and computerised, using the very latest ’state of the art’ computerised pressure plate scanners allowing a team of highly experienced podiatrists to analyse the bio-mechanics of your feet in motion and identify any irregularities. This Gait analysis facility has a 20 metre running track, allowing us to examine your natural sporting gait, using the built in computerised pressure plates and the Quintic video gait analysis system.

STEP 2: The scans are transferred to our CAD CAM manufacturing equipment, where the process of designing and creating your bespoke insoles and boot lasts can begin.

The insoles of the boots are shaped and manufactured to correct any biomechanical imperfection highlighted in the detailed analysis. The design is carried out on a computer after which the data is fed into the computerised milling machine which mills out your insole before it is hand finished and incorporated into the construction of the boots.

Certain players benefit from extra support in the boots, which again can be built into them through use of a carbon fibre plate to support your movement.

STEP 3: The exact shape of your foot is replicated from detailed measurements and casts to form your boot last - the essential component from which your boots will be built around. This unique last, is then stored for any future boots you may require.

STEP 4: The next step is to take the Puma PowerCat football boots upper and handcraft it around your unique last and insole. This task is undertaken by skilled craftsmen who pull and pin the upper around your foot's last, by hand, to give a true and unrivalled glove-like fit.

Once the upper has been pinned into position the upper material forms to the shape of your last, creating an upper unique to your foot.

With the boot upper complete, the PUMA outsole is then attached to complete a brand new performance football boot bespoke to YOUR personal requirements. The service on offer is not just limited to elite players, but allows all players access to the facilities and performance features previously enjoyed by the top endorsed players.

This unique collaboration is all about delivering a pair of football boots that are not only have the perfect fit, but also ensure that your feet are biomechanically correct. This will help eradicate certain associated injuries, ensuring that your performance on the pitch is maximised. A pair of football boots unique to YOU, customised to eradicate any previous problems you may have encountered with football boots.

But much more than that, the VIP service is one you are actively involved with, making you the sports star who travels to the clinic to be analysed and examined. You meet the actual people who will build your hand made football boots. This is a real process you can watch as it happens and is a unique opportunity to have a brand listen to the customer, to create your perfect football boots!

Nike T90 Laser III Football Boots - Neptune Blue/Vibrant Yellow/Black

Editor — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:03:00 GMT

SoccerBible introduces the next stunning colourway for the impressive Nike T90 Laser III football boots. These Neptune Blue/Vibrant Yellow/Black soccer shoes, are a follow-up to the Electric Green Laser's which exploded onto pitches around the globe over 3 months ago.

These brand new Total 90 Laser football boots are uniquely styled and innovatively designed. They are not just visually striking but are packed with a host of performance technology, including swerve fin technology, instep pods, shape correction foam, lighter weight material, a new lacing system and an updated sockliner.

The upper material of these great looking Neptune Blue Nike T90 Laser III football boots is made from a combination of lightweight Teijin synthetic leather, and Nike's Kanga-lite material. These contribute to the boots weighing just 328 grams, 18g lighter than the previous Laser II's. At the fore area of the boots is a layer of shape correction foam, this thin layer of Memory Foam is strategically placed over the first metatarsal and tongue area to help even out the instep bone structure for better kicking accuracy.

The stand-out feature of these new T90 Laser III football boots, are the Vibrant Yellow ShotShield pods, which ensure even pressure on the ball at impact for accuracy. The Instep Pods are designed to be flat to your foot, to create even pressure distribution when shooting the ball with accuracy, and their longitudinal and flexible design accommodates an enlarged kicking area. Complimenting the Instep Pods are strategically angled and raised Fins, to create friction and increased ball spin for shooting and passing. Each fin is positioned at a different angle and a different height (0-3mm), to enable the player to control the swerve ball in multi-directional ways depending on how the player kicks the ball, for better ball spin and kicking accuracy.

The Neptuen Blue/Vibrant Yellow/Black Nike T90 Laser III football boots have a lightweight TPU outsole, with the studs positioned to give the structural reinforcement and traction you need on all playing surfaces. The redesigned heel counter provides external Lateral Support to lock the heel, but also help the planting foot to stabilise when kicking the ball. Comfort and fit comes from the Moulded Sockliner with Poron inserts incorporated for extra cushioning, and the surface texture of the sockliner and boot collar has been updated for optimal stickiness, to protect your foot from slippage and rubbing

We're hoping to see the likes of Wayne Rooney, Fernando Torres and Wesley Sneijder stepping out wearing these visually stunning Neptune Blue Nike T90 Laser III football boots. Which are available to pre-order now ahead of their release on the 1st April, and should cost around £130 GBP.

adidas Predator X Football Boots - Predator Blue/White/Scarlet

Boot Spy — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:00:00 GMT

When adidas released the Predator X football boots they split opinions and caused a lot of debate. Now adidas have returned with these brand new Champions League football boots, and it seems the Blue/White/Scarlet colourway will re-ignite the debate.

Football boots don't come more iconic than the adidas Predator range, which has been in existence for over a decade and has ten incarnations under their belts. But we're beginning to wonder whether adidas have got to the stage where every release needs to make a statement, because these boots are certainly eye-catching and we'd love to hear your opinion on them.

Putting aside split opinions on how the boot looks, we can all agree that the adidas Predator X football boots are a quality boot designed for power and performance. A host of Predator wearers have been happy to switch into these new boots, as the fit has been improved by adidas, along with a new energy return system that brings more power, swerve and control to every kick.

The adidas Predator X football boots combine uniquely developed Taurus calf leather, a performance leather that combines a natural look and feel with high abrasion qualities, with synthetic Predator technology. The redesigned Predator vamp has been placed in an optimised striking position, and the rubber-silicon mix material provides unique ball contact for constant swerve, control and accuracy.

The adidas Predator X football boots are the first Predator, since the original back in 1994, not to have a fold-over tongue. Instead adidas have removed the tongue, so the Predator X football boots feature a wrap around collar, a fit that combines with the new flattened lacing system.

To help increase shot power the adidas Predator X football boots feature the new Powerspine sole-plate, replacing the previous Powerpulse element. The Powerspine minimises energy loss and maximises power, as it redirects and transfers shot power directly into the ball, by preventing the feet and metatarsals from over-bending.

All three of the adidas new releases tie in with the new Madrid Champions League ball, just like the Rome editions last season. And if you're eager to get your own pair of these striking adidas Predator X football boots, they will be available to pre-order from today, and are expected to hit the shelves from 25th March for around £135 GBP.

Puma PowerCat 1.10 (PWRCat) - Black/White/Wild Lime

Boot Spy — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:00:00 GMT

Amid plenty of speculation, the SoccerBible lifts the lid on the all new Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots. Set to ignite the power and accuracy category, Puma have listened to players and created a boot to take on the adidas Predator and Nike T90 series at their own game.

The SoccerBible has had the luxury of putting a pair of Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots through their paces, in a series of punishing drills and accuracy tests. But before we bring you our play test, our boot review can officially tell you what to expect from these new boots, as we reveal the initial launch colourway with full and exclusive images of the stealthy Black/White/Lime Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots.

The Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots are a great combination of engineering and comfort, and we can see Puma are making great strides with their boot development. Because, just like the v1.10 speed football boots before them, the PowerCat's are unlike any Puma boot we have seen before.

The injected Puma 3D Power Shooting Technology, the fresh Cat branding and the supersoft kangaroo leather make the PowerCat 1.10 a genuine choice for top professionals such as Michael Carrick and Nicolas Anelka.

The standout feature of the PowerCat football boots is the Puma 3D Power Shooting Technology (Puma 3D PST) located and built-into the boots kicking area. Designed to increase shooting power, while maintaining ball touch and feel, the 3D PST achieves increased shot power through its extremely high rebound properties, absorbing more than the typical amount of energy upon ball impact and releasing more power with every shot.

For comfort, fit and ball feel, Puma have gone with a natural material and used a supersoft, premium kangaroo leather for the boot's upper.

To enhance ball touch, increase the kicking area and improve pressure distribution, the Puma PowerCat football boots feature an off-centred lacing system, as favoured by many top pro players.

To improve fit, the boots have been formed around Puma's new anatomically-shaped PowerLast, an evolution of the Puma AptoLast. Which once again follows the foot's natural contours for a great fit, but provides more volume in the forefoot and instep allowing the upper to mould to the players foot. To further improve fit and comfort, the anatomically shaped removable sockliner provides cushioning and shock absorption.

The outsole of the Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots have an external TPU-injected heel counter. This is lightweight and 'finger-shaped' to cradle the heel of the foot, and provides optimal support and stability during movement and ball striking, whilst offering protection. The outsole also features a new bladed stud configuration, to ensure smooth ground penetration and pressure distribution, while providing maximum traction and manoeuvrability.

The Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots are a great follow-up to the Puma v-Konstrukt, they are a comfortable boot that is a departure from the chunkier, more protective feel of the v-Konstrukt series. Puma have been able to develop some unique technology within the competitive power and accuracy market, and we'll be keen to see how the PowerCat's perform. These brand new football boots will hit the shelves and pitches from 6th February, and should cost around £125 GBP.
