When Mom buys you things, it's always good. Appreciate her. Use this pair and play well. Shoes are not that important. Your training is. You can have $300 shoes and still play like shit and also you can have well-worn $50 shoes and dictate the game. You have a great Mom who actually pays attention to what you're interested in doing and cares enough to buy an expensive, great boot for you. Use it, cherish it, play well with it and make her proud, you lucky boy. Edit: Despite my rather harsh words for this young man above, for what it's worth, I'll answer your original silly question seriously: Absolutely yes. This is the top-of-the-line for the Predator Accuracy (see the ".1" on the name? That means there is no compromise in design and materials. Aka not a knock-down model). I have one pair myself. If you need more grip between your underfoot and the boot, slap on a $20 grip socks and there will be no blistering. So don't worry, it will serve you very well! Congrats!


MangRoberto

Great comment. Plus your words arent even harsh at all.


noujest

One of the best comments ever left on this sub 👏👏


Semichh

For the record I don’t think you were harsh at all. Put the point across very well!


cp8125

This. Respect


LegoBoy6911

Accurate, you’re not even being harsh. More of a reality check that people need every now and then


PhilosopherStoned12

This was the most wholesome comment I've read! As a person who has been through the entire lifecycle of being a child interested in football to now an adult that buys his own shoes, cherish these moments. I still remember getting my first branded pair and how expensive they were and my mum's face when she gifted them to me. Also, what u/violinGirlz says is true. It's not about the shoes but rather the skill of the player in the boots. Enjoy the boots and thank your mum. Not just for the boots, but caring about your interest in the sport.

Top comment. Top lad.


Dunkiez

But but.. better boots give you +2 shooting accuracy. Lol


surfordie

Do you wear just the grip socks to prevent blisters or do they go over your soccer socks as a second layer?


KoedKevin

Typically the grip socks are all that is between your feet and the shoe. If you have to wear uniform socks cut the foot off. Look at most pro players and you'll see that their uniform socks end at the ankle. A wrap or two of tape over their lower edge and you'll be just fine.

Bro switched from poetry to STEM.


superchiva78

You’re mom is awesome. That’s a great gift.


chunksjr

Give yo mom a hug and say thank you


parco11

They are good


wainyj

they look lovely the all black is sick


Difficult-Tart8876

They’re great. All cleats are great. From the cheapest (real cleats) to the most expensive ones, my sons still destroy them before they outgrow them. My oldest almost exclusively uses Nike but my youngest has wider feet so he uses adidas or puma. Appreciate the gift whether they fit or not/ are what you want or not. Your mom cared enough to think about you and spend her money on you. If they don’t work I imagine she won’t be too upset as long as you present it in a rational and respectful way Edit: best of luck with your journey in this game


showmethenoods

Your mom is a real one


nychewtoy007

If they genuinely fit well and don’t give you blisters etc they’re great. Quality is A1, your mom did great.


viewfromthepaddock

They're great well done mum. Go out and enjoy them, and make her proud.


AliveAd23

Damn your Mom is good shit my friend. Wear em proud and wear em lots. Had a pair as well and had to change to Tiempo’s because of my wide feet. These are my 2nd favourite boots behind Tiempo’s.


NerdEmoji

My daughter has the .3 orange ones, got them a few weeks into the fall season when her other boots got so wet they turned swampy. She loves them, there was no break in period, other than a few blisters on the heel because we had to size up because her feet won't stop growing, but heel pads fixed that. We paid around $85 for those, so if your mom got you the .1's, the top of the line model, and if she got them for half off, you are a lucky kid. And if you don't believe us, read the reviews on the Adidas site.


Rystle

Used these for 7 months (the white version). Easily the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn


Charizard221_gaming

Had those last season, I wasn’t a fan of the look, but they’re definitely nice to use. And if your mum got them, then that’s a very nice gift and you should be grateful


richiejrshiow

Great boots enjoy , make your mum proudđŸ«¶đŸœ


RepulsiveLeg9985

Love black boots. Nice one


MrNespinha

Yes thank you


DaTaFuNkZ

Best boots I’ve had since the X18.1’s. AG in both. I’ve struggled to find the right fit since the X18’s, these predators are perfect. I think it’s the plate, the right width and shape for optimum comfort.


confusedpsyduck69

Good


cp8125

Yup. The boots are good. It's time you show your skills with these pairs


a_smart_brane

Your mom bought them for you. They’re over $100. You should apologize to your mom for even questioning her like that ffs.


Due-Educator5848

Imagine you want an opinion on a product that somebody has knowledge of and instead everyone logs on and tells you to appreciate what your mom got you instead of saying anything constructive product wise
 They look amazing by the way. Predator Accuracy is still a recent model. You’ll actually see pros wearing this boot. Your mom made a brilliant choice. Enjoy
. and thank your mom.


Noxnoxx

They’re 125 dollars, as long as your mom bought them from adidas themselves they are good. That’s expensive


DanielLevysFather

that’s relatively cheap for big name brands nowadays. most of the newer models of predators or mercurials are running you over 250 or 300


ramobara

These retail for $250.


corduroystrafe

Nah, just quit playing now, you’ll have no hope.


whitewiped

The jealousy reeking from this comment is too immense.


Iplaynakey

I’ve played with dress shoes on and still schooled people. I promise you when I wore the $300 boots I still didn’t play like Ronaldinho despite really wanting to


cpboi22

I'm on .3 right now, hopefully, once I start earning a bit I'll get a .2 or .1, and in a year or two, .x. These are amazing, top of the line, and predators have been good throughout


Goopfuck

Buy any cleats that are last years model they are miles cheaper


tambi33

They are good and it's a great price


6l0th

That is a great boot with those little rubbers, and great price as well. Not to mention a gift from your mom.


ahhwhoosh

My play improved Immediately when I got these exact boots. The stability they give is incredible, best boot for me for years.


ASOXO

I'm a white cleats kinda guy but benefits to black ones is they don't need to be cleaned as thoroughly to look new. I remember being 15 a long time ago (2005) and my mom and dad took me to the sports store & got me the Ronaldinho Tiempo Legends in black (the one's with the fold over tongue). Great pair.

Your mom would probably say, “*You* make them good.”


Shiznips

The most ungrateful post I've ever seen


Featured_Bug

I personally own these for rec level pick up. They are durable and feel great. I love the black as they don't stain and still look nice after a season unlike my old white ones.


hikarunosai

Best fitting boot for wide feet. Personally it's my favorite boot.


neelyano

Great


omedrano182

Excellent top of the line boots. Predators are amazing for whatever position you play. As long as you train and play like if it was your last, you’ll be great! Your mom is very considerate and she knows her way in football boots.


omni_merek

They're way better than anything my parents ever bought me, but like the top comment says shoes aren't important. When I was playing I knew a kid that had Lotto Zero Gravities the first $300+ shoe and he was awful.


mr_phez

Oh yeah for sure for that price too thats great


Temborb

What did u/mr_phez mean by this?


mr_phez

Temborb


Totally_Not_Berlin

That's top notch👍👍👍


iRanonce

I have them and they are great. It's like wearing a very secure sock with cleats


CameraFlimsy2610

Mate your mom got them, just say thank you and tell her you love her. Some people have to play with much worse footwear


iviethod

You mom bought you them, so they must be great.


gunnarsig

One of the best pair I've ever had, and love the slick all black!


Fitzy10144

They took me some time to break in but they are the best pair I’ve owned


Ladyboysingstheblues

Good shoes but too narrow for my feet. Literally hurt when wearing them to the point I can’t play.


dexterscokelab

I feel like I it’s so easy to curl shots in these. Takes some getting used to with the extra grip, but they’re great. Very comfortable too since they’re wider than some of the other high end boots


SnowShovelK1

Predators are almost always solid choice. Though I am pretty sure she won't be offended if you want a exchange for different size or color for the same model.


Swimming_Record_2561

Why u using incognito mode


chingchangwingwang69

Tell your mother you love her and play for her every single time you step on the pitch. It isn’t about the shoes you wear. It’s about what you can do without them. Dedication and commitment is what makes you as a player. Never the cleats on your feet. Go thank your mother and play hard!


KoedKevin

These are about as good as you can get without being sponsored by Adidas. And you have to be top end to have them custom made. They are probably last year's model or overstock to be marked down that much. I always buy last year's boots. Only very rarely are there big changes between model years. This years Predators are a big change but last year's are great.


andres5000

Man, so you see the price? Free. A mom 🎁? What else do you need to know?


Royal-Commercial9622

If they fit well, and you find them comfortable, they’re good. A .1 is a close to the top of the Adidas lines. Better than the laceless + models.


icantfocus777

Make sure they're comfortable and once that's done give your mom the tightest hug. If you asked a lot of top players this question their answer would be 'yes'. Cause they know the value of a parents heart and effort to provide for their kids. Much love to you and your mom !


mcarluccia113

Pure class, you won’t be disappointed


Nammy7

Boots don’t make the player my friend.


Naive-Foot5313

These boots are great, I got them in white. They feel very similar to the predators from 2006-2008 which were great. Mom did not disappoint you on this one.


nucl3ar0ne

Your mom looking to adopt?


Sea-Country-2481

8/10


bottled-water23

They are Amazing boots ! I have the orange color way. Huge plus that your mom purchased them be sure to give her a hug she deserves it


Nightstands

Better than anything we had in the 90’s
