I am about to make an update video :). There is now a massive hole in the right boot and a small hole in the left boot but amazingly it is still usable. The upper was so thin having a hole in it doesn't really effect the touch since you are pretty much playing barefoot anyway. The holes does effect the lockdown though so it's not perfect. Now I have bought a new pair but in the BMW colorway :)
I did that for the first tear :), I think it helped for a bit but to be honest the upper is so thin I couldn't really tell the difference with or without the hole. The main difference is the lockdown around your foot, with the hole the boot is actually more comfortable to wear but the lockdown is not as good T-T
Yes :), right now they are still working fine after 20+ matches. They are more durable that I thought they would be (apart from the unfortunate rip of course).
You're welcome, I am still having a tough time deciding if they are worth it or not. Right now I am still wearing them (about 12 matches now) and they are still doing fine despite the rip (it feels exactly the same as without the rip). I think the boot performs really good and if it can last 30 matches or more it might be worth it.......will have to wait and see.
