The best football boots for all skills and budgets
Want to take to the pitch after the World Cup? These are your best boot options
Many a person will no doubt have come down with a bit of World Cup fever after this years stand out tournament came to an end. With the new season about to begin, there's never been a better time to dig out the shin pads, find some fresh boots and Google "football teams near me".
Boots have come a long way in recent times, even though your standouts like Predators are still making a claim for best around. But chances are you're likely going to want to replace your old pair before getting back on the pitch.
We’ve tried to cut through some of the confusion, providing you with a guide to some of the best boots to turn you into a Sunday morning Scholes or a marshes Maradona. It's always important to remember that with football boots, you want them to fit like a second skin, so we'd always recommend trying them on first, or going half a size up if you like to wear thick socks. Here are some of our favourite pairs you can grab right now.
