Your first boots?

[Prague insurance man]

My first pair were hand me downs, in 1958. They were ankle high and had nails sticking up through the inner soles which held the studs in.... and no I'm not joking. !!

Same here you could do some damage with those studs

 

[North of the Smoke]

A pair of mitres with screw in studs, handed down and tatty.

I was very proud to have them and they cleaned up brilliantly, first pair of boots that had laces I could tie underneath and back up, thought I had arrived man.

Timpson Continentals moulded studs

Top Dog. Having thought about I’m now of the opinion that Martin Harvey most definitely didn’t wear them.

Me too, my kids didn't believe such a boot existed, bloody useless the left one never worked; mind you , of the hundreds of pairs I bought the left one was always shite.

Beckham original predators, loved them.

Puma kings circa 1992. Back when boots were boots (and black). I remember the first time a lad wore blue boots and he rightly got booted off the pitch

The fourth official would have a heart attack if he had to check the studs of a player coming on, and the player was wearing those !

 

[The Krankie Returns]

No idea. I was about seven and they were white.

 

[Haggis Heed]

Random fact of the day, Henry VIII had the first recorded pair (not that he used them much I'd imagine).

There's a nerdy podast called "You're Dead to Me" that the BBC run that have a really interesting episode about it.

Stylo ones from the Coop in Murton about 1965 (went with me Mam) . Git hard toecaps that you had to wack with a hammer to get soft.
First really good pair from Willie Watson's (Mitre with screw in studs, loved those boots), about 1968 I think.

If this works the Chile are under the Keegan picture, lovely boots. Think Patrick were also the first to use Kangaroo skin which was super soft and comfortable, are they still going?

Brilliant photo! We had the Keegan Top boot - with the green sole. Happy memories!

I won a pair of Stylo boots in a competition in the Sun ,black with a gold flash they were, decent boots tbf, must have been very early 80's as I had to list in order the best strikers of the day in the same order Bobby Charlton did, and I did ! People like Dalglish, Mariner and Regis were on it I remember.

What were the first football boots you had?

Stylo George Best for me. Made of rubber, moulded soles when my mates had screw ins but I loved them.

Exactly the same!
Great times!

Those Predator boots that Craig Johnston designed ... thought they'd make me into a pro ... should have got me money back!!!

From a place on Toward Rd just up from the ymca? If so then they must’ve jumped boxes somehow because my right one nivver worked as well as the left. FFS that’s cost SAFC dearly that has.
