Just before Christmas, I took advantage of a huge sale and got myself a pair of Puma V1.08′s for $65. The reason I decided to get myself a pair was to see how they compare to the V1.10, which I reviewed recently. I was not a huge fan of the V1.10, but I had heard some good things about the V1.08 and wanted to be able to compare them side by side. Watch out for a full comparison in the coming weeks. For now, I wanted to share an update with you on how the V1.08′s have been performing. I ordered a half size up (9.5US) in the V1.08, to compensate for the issues I encountered with the V1.10. I am happy to report that the half size makes all the difference, and I am really enjoying wearing the V1.08. So far, I have got to wear them in 3 games and I have 3 goals to my name during that period! Breaking them in was a lot easier than it was with the V1.10′s. Again, I would put this down to the extra half size. Watch out for a full review, and comparison to the V1.10, in the next few weeks.
Because the V1.08 is seen to be the ‘older range’, you can find some great deals right now. And I will be the first to tell you that for the price, they are good value!
I use this boots… their weight is really low, but the comfort… i used adidas predator and can say, it`s much more comfortable than v1.08… but, talking about speed, v1.08 is fastest than predator… so, i`ve improved my game in speed and stablity with them…
Are you going to post the full review on the Puma V1.08? I just ordered a pair and want to know how they compare to the V1.10.
Eric,
I found the V1.08 to be a better option than the V1.10, especially in terms of comfort.
