FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 is the ultimate catwalk for soccer boots and this blog combines an interest in football with footwear. Soccer shoes have evolved from engineer's boot to cleated slippers which come to represent all that is known in the science and craft of shoe-making. As a shoe historian, I review the evolution of the soccer boot and post related issues.

adidas boots scored more goals but did they sell more boots?
Spain won the 2010 FIFA World Cup > but according to adidas, it was the F50 adizero football boots that scored more goals (41 in total) than any other boot brand during the championship. All very well but main rivals Nike are claiming they made more sales out of the event than the main sponsor, adidas. Sales of the F50 adizero football boots did soar but adidas remain tight lipped by how much. The company have also been silent about the sales of the Jabulani (official ball), which was heavily criticised by players for being too light and unpredictable.
