King Henry VIII wore the first noted pair of football boots in history back in 1526.Since then, the evolution of both the game and its accessory, have improved considerably. The aimless hoofing of a weighted pig skin in thick, ankle high, cumbersome footwear is thankfully in the past.
10Mizuno Wave Cup
If, like me, you were lucky enough to watch Brazil at World Cup 2002, you will recall Rivaldo wreaking havoc in attack alongside Ronaldo and Ronaldinho en route to a fifth competition win.The Barcelona legend famously equalised against England and did so wearing these classics.A clean white upper with the famous yellow and blue incorporated into the logo, the boot was elegant and slick, perfect for a technically gifted play-maker like Rivaldo.
10adidas F50 +
A year after the first ever F50 design was released prior to Euro 2004, adidas continued to push the boundaries in their quest to take over the football boot world.Ahead of their time with a leather upper to cover the laces and allow for a larger strike zone, the boot was aimed at tricky wingers and quick attackers, while the midfield generals remained in the Predator.The likes of Arjen Robben, Damien Duff and Djibril Cisse were among the most famous wearers and several different colourways were launched. A personal favourite being the black and white combination. Over the years, the boot has changed its style, but this is probably the best model made.
10Nike Air Zoom Total 90 III
The hugely popular boot was the third edition of the silo and was introduced for Euro 2004. At that tournament, Wayne Rooney announced himself on the world stage with a series of breath-taking performances, scoring four times. Sadly, the boot was unable to prevent him breaking his foot as England were beaten by Portugal on penalties in the quarter-finals.
10Nike Tiempo Legend 2005
When Ronaldinho smashed the ball repeatedly against the crossbar, he did so wearing a pair of R10 Tiempo Legend boots.It became the first YouTube video to smash 1 million views and at the time, the Barcelona superstar was perhaps the only player that made you doubt whether this audacious trick was genuine or simply an illusion.Either way, the boot and Ronaldinho were both golden.
10Nike Air Zoom Total 90 II
If you have been following closely, it will quickly become apparent that 2002 was a good year for football boots.One of my first pairs of boots, the second edition of Total 90s were designed for power and accuracy and the laces were reconfigured to the side, allowing for a cleaner connection.The boots were worn by some of Nikes leading names including Paul Scholes, Francesco Totti, Roberto Carlos and Luis Figo.
10Puma King
Long before adidas and Nike were dominating the boot world, Puma were the leading brand.Pele, Diego Maradona, Johan Cruyff and Lothar Matthaus were among the star names to take to the pitch in a pair of Kings.In one of the most famous and shameless examples of marketing, Pele halted the quarterfinal match at the 1970 World Cup to tie his boots, allowing the camera to get a close up of his famous feet.
10Nike Mercurial Vapor 2002
While the Mercurial adventure had begun four years prior and the famous image of a dejected Ronaldo wearing the boots around his neck after the final gave Nike further publicity, it is the second generation that is considered their best.Inspired by sprinters’ shoes, the boots allowed for acceleration and smoother control. Once again the boot was made for that iconic tournament, 17 years ago and will be remembered for R9 finishing as top scorer, including two against Germany as Brazil lifted the World Cup.
10adidas Copa Mundial
Sometimes, you just cant beat a classic and this has to be rightly considered as one of the best boots ever, simply due to its longevity and appeal among all levels.Released way back in 1979, the Copa was developed for the 1982 World Cup and was the lightest boot on the market at the time.While there is nothing aesthetically outstanding about this boot (especially in the modern era), the durable leather upper and iconic black and white colours have made this legendary.
102002 adidas Predator Mania
For many, the best boot of all time. Chances are you are now somewhere in your mid 20s and early 30s, meaning your first World Cup would likely have been the one in Japan and Korea in 2002 and this is where the two became synonymous.The Mania coincided perfectly with the tournament and was showcased by some of the greatest players in the world and it seemed like every other star was wearing a pair that summer.
