Adidas Top Sala shoes

[leftyboy]

So, I realized I needed new shoes, and have been looking at adidas indoor soccer shoes for the high school season. I looked up these Top Sala shoes, but there are a few different kinds. I'm kind of confused as to which to buy: does anyone have any experience with these? Or any other type of adidas indoor soccer shoe? Any info would be appreciated.

Also, I think the shoes might have too much grip for my front foot. I'm afraid that it could jam my weak knees and ankles. Should I stay with my adidas En Guarde's in that respect?

Hi
I've used the top sala V and am currently using the top sala VII. They are great fencing shoes as they offer lots of support and comfort, but are still very close to the ground. They're also relatively cheap ($45-55) and can easily be found on online soccer sites. They do run big, so size down about 1/2 from your normal adidas size if you want a good fit. The only downside is that they don't last particularly long, but that may just be because I work my shoes pretty hard. Anyway, in my opinion, if you dont want to spend more than $100, I'd get these, as they seem to be much much MUCH better than those new d'artangnans.

I like them and use them for fencing and soccer. I think the wear issue is probably going to be common with all gum sole shoes - the rubber wears out 'cause it's so grippy...
