What do you look for in a pair of football boots?
…is it the durability?
…or the shape , or style?
…do you prefer boots with removable studs?
..are they the type that gives you greater control of the ball?
….are you a footballing ‘follower of fashion'?
Do you buy the thin ‘Mercurial’ types which are made of synthetic materials that don’t let your feet breathe, or are they made of leather like the Nike CTR or Adidas Supernova?
……or do you wear those fancy illuminous creations that stand out a mile as you dash down the wing?
Players like Pennant have worn the Nike Superfly 11 – blue, purple and white;
or like Nicklas Bendtner in an offensive bright pink boot last season….
Ronaldo, even, at the 1998 World Cup Finals wore bright yellow Nikes.
One sees many others each week in the Prem or in European matches.
All very flashy, but one doesn’t need boots like those to be noticed – your game should show how good you are, not your footwear.
Those luminous, lighter, less protective, boots that are all the rage today are the cause of certain injuries – metatarsal bone damage, for example, or friction blisters, plantar fasciitis, or tibialis tendon, to name a few.
Manchester United and Sheffield United (both last year), Sunderland, and Leeds United, have banned their academy players from wearing coloured boots, but a recent survey by Proper Footy that shows Black is still the colour of choice despite the dazzling array of colour-schemed boots on sale.
The ideal football boot should have, amongst other things, a rigid heel counter, a wide, slightly curved sole, a flexible forefoot, and a good depth in the upper, and therefore should not be a tight fit.
Forget about all those fancy-dan contraptions that, more often than not, are the cause of long-lasting foot ailments - get your boots fitted by those who have the experience – don’t go out and just buy any old footy boot - your feet are very important, and one doesn’t want to walk with the aid of a stick or be on crutches for the rest of your life.
Just make sure these boots are black, tho’.
