My money’s on Vapor IIIs being on top as they started the tejin revolution. make sure you check back in to Footy Boots on New Years Day for the top 5 football boots of the decade. Even the little touches on the boot, like the bronze badges on the cuff not only avoided feeling gimmicky, but miraculously added to the retro appeal. On a personal level, I loved the fit – the more ‘standard’ lacing system was exactly what a boot with the word ‘pure’ in it’s name should be about. Eventually settling on the original adiPure, I can’t believe I even considered the second. It was a tough call on which of adidas’ modern-classic boots to choose the adiPure I or II. Released around the time that Reebok’s silo of boots was exploding (over the next 18 months Reebok would release the Instante, two Sprintfits and the Valde Pro) the Integrity was a true footballer’s boot.įree of gimmicks or unnecessary flash the Integrity boasted the softest grade K-Leather, rock solid heel counter and elasticated lace cover – the Integrity can give the Tiempo Legend and Speciali a run for their money in the modern classic category. The 2007 Reebok Integrity is an often overlooked boot. It’s easy to see why Diadora are continuing to produce these into the new decade. Just looking at the LX K Pro was enough to swing my vote though, classic soft K-Leather, elasticated tongue and solid heel counter – all without looked dated and frumpy like so many other boots from smaller companies do. For me it was a choice of the sleek, flash Maximus released in 2006, or the more recent released classic styling of the LX K Pro. When you’re looking for the best boots, sometimes it’s as easy as looking for the best players and they don’t come much better than Francesco Totti.ĪS Roma’s finest has pretty much stuck by Diadora just as he’s stuck by his club and has had his pick of their flagship boots. But 3 months down the line and CTR360 has more new adopters than any new line of boots since the original Predator – and with good reason.Īs we experienced first-hand in our review, the Maestri is one of the most comfortable boots Nike have ever produced, and the technical aspects of the boot are outstanding. Nike were scoffed at when the rumours were they were introducing another boot to their line-up. Slowly but surely acquiring some names behind the product (John O’Shea for instance) we at Footy Boots would suggest that Concave may well have more than one boot on next decade’s list. The PT+ put everything right that the original PT1 had wrong with it (not least the sweet spot rubbing the top of your toes) and offered up a leather upper to boot. Diving headfirst into one of the most competitive industries world, Concave have stuck by both their famous ‘four pillars of performance’ (improved accuracy, power, protection and control) and by their unorthodox design. Concave are an inspiration to any company starting out.

I know what you might be thinking but just hang on a tick. Just to remind you of the ground rules – we were only able to select a total of 4 boots from our ‘top’ manufacturer and 3 from all the others and only 1 pair of boots per range.Ĭlick here to see 20 – 16 and here for 15 down to 11.
