Seeing as we have ads on the home page for them, I thought it would be an apporopriate time to bring up this topic..

Has anyone actually gone out and bought one of these things? Initially I was discouraged by the fact that to wear them inside your boots, you would need to spend $350 for the f50s that can fit the speed cell inside, but I found out that there is a lace clip for those of us without that sort of money to spend on boots..
The device is quite good, I haven't had any problems with it. I went for a few jogs to test it out and since then I've been using it every week at indoor soccer. I was pleased to learn that I am faster than Scott Jamieson (Gary Cole if you are reading this, I am a free agent) and I think I'll learn a lot from it when I test it out in full game situations.. in the meantime it has definitely encouraged me to exercise more and take an interest in the statistics.
Has anyone got one of these and used it to maximise their performances?
As a sidenote, I've been told adidas will release other boots that are more affordable and that, like the f50s, can accommodate the speed cell.

one problem with it is it is only useful with adidas boots.
great boots but they offer very little protection for young skilled players playing up against not so skilled older players.
