Which Lavers?

Post by Rad »

I've been looking for lavers lately and it turns out theres an assload of different kinds of lavers. Are leather Lavers good? I've been reading up on them and i haven't really got an idea yet. i found them new for only 30$ not including shipping so I wanted to investigate. Are the ones on worldfootbag the way to go?

The leather ones need to be modded idealy to work, but once they are modded some claim they are actually better than the mesh version.

Most people do go for the mesh version to save the fuss, but its all up to you.

I have the leather lavers as they were the only kind I could find on UK ebay site at the time bit its all down to you to decide.

Perhaps somebody else could fill in some more info on the differences and also the pro's and con's of each model.

the leather laver's are really good when you get done modding them. My pair of lavers are the leather, you just have to do the same mod's as you would to goonits. I haven't tried the mesh so I can't compare them, but they are good shoes to shred in!!!

I might look for a pair of leather lavers then. But I'm still unclear which mods you would do to them. Would you do g-unit mods or regular mesh laver mods?

I use Mesh. I just ordered a new pair of Mesh lavers too. Up until reading this thread I've only ever heard that mesh is better... I'm sure that it's more then the leather on G-uints, but I don't like G's because they're bulky. Lavers are nice and slim... like a glove for your foot. I would guess that having big thick slabs of leather on there will only loose some of that Mesh-sexiness

I've never tried leather lavers though...

Keep it real

I'd like a pair of climacools because running shoes are more comfortable to me. Anyone have a link to the right climacool? I heard they were expensive though, is that true?

Some people use Responses, but the census on what Clima to use is either Originals (Climacool 1s) or Euros.
