xbillyx Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I grew up playing soccer and have recently gotten back into the sport. I played in an indoor league last winter and will be doing the same this winter. I'm currently playing in trail shoes because I can't find vegan cleats.

Jason X Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Are you serious? There are TONS of synthetic cleats out there! I actually play rugby in a pair of synthetic KANGAROO cleats from Nike. (the 360 Maiestro - or whatever the damn $200 option is...) They also make the FG's in synthetic (in 3 different cleat styles. I've got a black pair in both dry ground cleat and indoor shoe gum sole) Adidas makes a few options (as well as their new Adizero or whatever superlightweight gizmo they released for the world cup.) You can find 'em anywhere! for $30 you can get a pair of ... shit...what's the company. Not umbro...not diadora... uhhh...they have them at dicks... sorry. drew a blank. (i would play soccer if it didn't conflict with rugby and work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbillyx Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 I've never seen any vegan soccer cleats. I must be looking in the wrong places. Now that I live in the middle of nowhere Canada I'm sure I won't be able to find them here. I remember checking online last year and saw tons of vegans asking the same thing. Is that what I ask for if I go looking for them in a store? Synthetic? I just found out my indoor soccer season starts next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason X Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Yeah, synthetic. You'll find a lot. Sorry, I meant to reply to this a few days ago, but I lost reception while it was loading and didn't take. Nike is the only company that has said they use a glue strictly not from an animal base, which is rad, because nike's fit really well. My feet, at least. But the $50 version of the tiempo"s (the fg, I think) are synthetic. And they're awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbillyx Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm pretty sure these turf shoes are vegan: Puma v5.08 SL TT. http://www.soccerstop.ca/footwear/puma-v5-08-sl-tt.html Agree? Am I missing anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason X Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 The uppers are fake, the glue we don't know about, but that's no different than vans or chuck taylors or whatever other shoes anybody else wears. I generally go by upper in my decision. You're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbillyx Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 I was just in a store and saw the Nike Total 90 iii turf shoes. Do you know if these happen to be vegan? A quick search online looks promising but I can't find too much info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason X Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Sometimes nike depends on the color, but I think you're good on those. I can't be 100% sure, but I'm running about 95%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbillyx Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks Jason. I'm going to give Nike a call and see if they can tell me for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbillyx Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Just got off the phone with Nike. The Total90 Shoot III TF (turf) soccer cleat is vegan! Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbillyx Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 I tried on the pair of turf shoes and they fit great. I now own a nice, new pair of vegan turf shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
