What the hell is up with the boots this year ?
I thought it was bad enough that most seem to be bright yellow or orange but now some of the Italy players have 2 different coloured boots on the SAME person. Whatever happened to black boots ?

As they have strict rules about undershirts, gloves, snoods etc being the same colour as the team shirt it is perhaps surprising the same rule does not apply to boots.

Just thinking the same myself. Someone needs to start a new trend of wearing back boots,

I've seen a few players wearing black boots , they wear them when they are out of contract apparently . I'm not at all keen on those bright orangey red ones , it's not the colour it's the shape , not keen on those high sides at all. |

It's not really a new thing, Djibril Cisse did it on a regular basis. (As well as changing boots at half time).

I can just about take the migraine inducing ones, but what the hell is up with the red and green?? Have we reached the stage where miss matching shoes are now fashion? God I must be getting old

I can't stand them either. White boots are one thing but not these garish fluorescent jobbies that wouldn't be out of place in a nightclub or suchlike. I don't mind a bit of colour but they should be predominantly black or something a bit more easy on the eye. Obviously it's a great marketing ploy for the sales and the kids probably love them.

Yep, the kids want what the top players are paid to wear.
I bet they are already pestering their parents. |

I think it's the way things are going now, even at any running events you need sunglasses to shield your eyes from some of the footwear on display!

It looks like an 80's disco. It is weird how different it is to watch, it is just so annoying, in HD at least.

I said to the missus last night that black boots are now the novelty after she made a comment on how hideous some of the footwear on display was. The players with two different coloured boots was quite comical, I thought.

All those stupidly colored boots are so annoying .
Is it down to greed and money from sponsors ? |

It's down to choice and the fact it's not the 1950s.
