Two weeks after their release, opinions are still mixed on the Adidas Predator X. Some people like the latest version, while others are not so keen. When we reviewed the Predator X, we had a favorable opinion, but that is not to say that this version is for everyone. Changes to the newest version in the Predator range include a new Predator strike zone, a new leather upper called Taurus, and the cleat comes minus a tongue! With all this in mind we want to hear your thoughts! You can either vote on our poll below, leave a comment… or do both!
As an added bonus, if you are leaving a comment we will enter your email address in the running to win a pair of Adidas Predator X cleats that we will be giving away later this month*. All you have to do is tell us what it is you like or don’t like about the Predator X.

I got my daughter a pair of the Women's Pred X FG (silver/brick) in July 2010. She had gone through two pairs of Powerswerves in the previous two years. The PS are great boots and she liked them, never had foot issues/problems, etc. She prefers the Pred X over the PS due to the slightly wider toe box. She doesn't really notice any weight difference (but they are slightly heavier) and the Pred X offer good protection.
The studs do seem to wear a bit faster than the PS (No, she doesn't walk on concrete with them – big NO-NO) but not a major issue.
Don't laugh, but a little girl can be tough on boots, and the Pred X have held up quite well in all sorts of weather. We clean them after every practice/game and condition them periodically (Clelsea LF). The Pred element hasn't delaminated, and other than the silver color wearing away around the toes as expected, they are fine.
Some folks laugh because I spend +-$100 on boots (shop smart!) for a kid every season or so. I tell them that we get only one pair of feet, so why not treat them the best we can?
Leon,
Well said, I completely agree – it is all well worth it, especially when you see kids enjoying the game so much!
I PREFER THIS CLEAT INSTEAD OF THE ADIPOWER PREDATOR….
