Studs-Up Review: Umbro Speciali
studs-up.com (211 hits)Lastly, and most relevant to all of this, is that I really liked what they have been doing with the recent release of Speciali’s. I have a soft spot for the model as it was one of the first pairs of boots I really, really, REALLY wanted when I was a young lad. It was tough to find around my parts and really the only option was mail-order. Alas, I never got them. A sad, and miserable child I was. More... (Football Boots)

PUMA V1.10: FOOTBALL BOOTS TEST
footy-boots.com (396 hits)The PUMA v1.10 is a boot that knows how to make an entrance. After making it’s bow in a startling yellow colourway exactly a month ago it’s still a point of contention everywhere. From the Premier League - where Nicolas Anelka has been on blistering form in the v1.10 but Peter Crouch is yet to make the switch from the .08’s; to the Footy Boots community - where comments range from ’sickest cleat ever’ to ‘what were PUMA thinking?.

PREDATOR X: FOOTBALL BOOTS TEST
footy-boots.com (336 hits)It’s been fascinating to read the comments which have come in since we revealed the first official images of the adidas Predator_X football boot. It seems they fall in to two categories – there’s the “Oh my God, what have they done to a once great looking boot” contingent and then there are the “hats off to adidas, a brilliant job” supporters.

The BIRCHAM BANS BLING BOOTS
footy-boots.com (629 hits)A former Queens Park Rangers fans favourite, who’s now back at the club as assistant academy manager, has banned the youth team from wearing coloured football boots.The man who’s made the decision says he can back up his call by science but insists that the real reason is far more basic saying: It has been proven that if a winger wears coloured football boots it is easier for a full-back to pick them up than if they are wearing black boots.

CTR360 MAESTRI: FOOTBALL BOOTS TEST
footy-boots.com (500 hits)Nike has long catered to a variety of players; those of pace have the Mercurial, those of Power; the Laser and if you’re focusing on touch there’s the Tiempo. With those bases covered many have questioned where the long-rumoured new Nike design would fit into Nike’s silo – and now it’s loose we know that the designers have crafted a boot for the centre of midfield. It’s a bold move as it’s a fairly niche market; so how well does it do that job? And will it cater for any other position? More... (Football Boots)

footy-boots.com (583 hits)There’s no doubt that Under Armour have made a pretty decent entry in to the football boot world after releasing the Dominate Pro and Create Pro last May.

Puma King XL: Football Boots Test
footy-boots.com (517 hits)The PUMA King is a boot steeped in heritage. A boot that’s entrenched in World Cup history and that has graced the feet of titans of the game, like Pele, Maradona and Eusebio (as pictured below). It is now tragically under-represented among top flight footballers. So has this decline in popularity come about because of a reduction in quality? No More... (Football Boots)
