^^ Been wearing TruSox for a couple months. I don't usually double up on socks, and they are thicker than wearing one pair so they may be snug for you. I like my shoes tight and half-size down so that + TruSox is perfect.
Definitely keeps foot from sliding around. Even in wet conditions they hold up pretty well.
The key is to not let the sock bunch up too much in any one place, under the arch or at the corners of toebox.
Sometimes the grippy pad rolls up on the top of my outside toe and can cause discomfort, but if you tighten em up and stretch it away from there it should be good.
I went with the crew length and just chopped a couple old pairs of socks to slide over my guards, don't even need to tape really.
And btw I wear a size 10.5 in the CTR Maestri III. I have Large TruSox. They aren't terribly big, but if my feet were smaller I might try the Medium.Really appreciate the feedback man. I am the same way half size down as tight to foot as possible. I just hate socks these days being microfiber material. They are all too thin and cause a lot of slipping. So i usually do the soccer sock on the inside and a crew sock on the outside that is mostly a cotton blend so its soft and fills the shoe tighter. I would have no problem cutting the socks since i don't wear them straight up anyway.
Will prob order a pair and see how it goes. I wish i could find them at a soccer specific store but there aren't many of them around me and the ones i called don't carry them.

The new colors are nice, white is fine, but that black looks sharp.

Damn I also wanted to ask about TruSox a couple of weeks ago, but didn't have the guts to do so
Thanks for the feedback

Fellas, I have a question about football boots. I want to know what is the difference between entry-level priced boots and the higher priced ones when they're basically the same silo. For example I have the adidas Predator Absolion LZ that I picked up from adidas.com for ~$55 a while back
http://www.adidas.com/us/product/me...adcrumb=svZu2Z1z13xg8Z1z13y8wZ1z13y9uZ1z13071
Then there's the adidas Predator LZ, which is basically the same boot but much more expensive.

So what is the difference besides price?
I know shirts often look similar, but this is a bit ridiculous....These might've been posted before, but it looks like the new Nike Englad kits will be released for sale on St. George's day April 23rd.

I believe the difference is the Upper. I personally have never played in LZs but people rave about the Hybridtouch synthetic upper on the LZ. It is very lightweight and pliable/soft which leads to a good touch on the ball. The Absolion has a heavier synthetic upper that is not the same as the hybrid touch. The soleplate looks the same on both boots to me. But the LZ says its the SprintFrame while the Absolion says TPU with traxion 2.0. So that may also add to the weight discrepancy between boots.
LZ - 8 ozs
Absolion - 9.4 ozs
all football boots have a line of 'takedown models'; it's easier to see the differences on Nike's Mercurial/T90 lines but as for the Adidas Predator/F50 takedowns (I'm speaking from experience; in my opinion F30s/F10s SUCK but the first Predator takedown model is a GREAT value), it's different. Predator takedowns (except the first one) don't get the LZ "pads" & F-30s/other F-50 takedowns get thicker (cheaper) synthetic uppers which Adidas thinks adds "additional comfort" for beginners looking for an affordable boot when in reality they're bulky (and heavier) & uncomfortable like their big brother (F-50). 1 of the best takedown boots IMO is the Mercurial Victory series from Nike--I've owned & gotten plenty of good games out of the FG & IC models. I got some low profile insoles from Shock Doctor in my FG pair to shed some weight/add comfort & love em. Got another pair of MV 2s on the way from eBay
takedown models [most of the time] use ALL PLASTIC soleplates (no glass/carbon fiber parts, premium insole, & boot bag like the $200+ Vapor), thinner/less-padded insoles, & use different (and cheaper) stud patterns
this is the BEST SITE for takedown model comparisons IMO
^^^exactly what i was thinking
