Puma

I personally prefer heritage styled football boots, but they are getting harder and harder to find. You only have to look at the new Puma King (one of the most iconic boots ever made) being launched in bright yellow as an example of how the industry is changing.

I am your average amateur football player, usually deployed as a defensive midfielder or at right back. I don’t stand out on the football pitch due to the role that i play therefore I don’t like to stand out with my choice of footwear. There are no tricks or flicks in my game and if I was to wear a pair of fireberry mercurials I would look ridiculous.

This is all about preference, and the wide range of colours and styles available is certainly a good thing. I just hope there is always room on the shelves for black, no nonsense boots for conservative players like myself. I will now go on to list my 5 favourites currently on the market, remember this is based purely on looks and style and not performance. I will also try and stick to current and available boots.

#5: Warrior Skreamer K-Lite (Black/Spicy Orange)

Coming in at number 5 is the Warrior Skreamer K-lite in black/spicy orange. These are a great looking boot, and look even better in person, the spicy orange really stands out and the design of the blades, which makes them look like claws, is pretty cool. Most of Warriors high profile players seem to be wearing the k-lite’s but disguised in the hideous s-lite launch colour way. Warrior are wanting to stand out and draw attention but surely these would attract more players in my opinion.

See what other boots made the list after the break! (more…)
