A Comprehensive Introduction to Football Boots

When it comes to football, we have to say football shoes. As the world's No. 1 sport, football shoes are the most important equipment. And how much do you know about football boots?

The origin of football boots

Football boots originates from the high-top design of early football boots, which are very similar in shape to boots. Therefore, many people also like to call their beloved football boots combat boots. After decades of continuous development, football shoes tend to be low-cut.

As early as 2004, FIFA confirmed that football originated in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were already Cuju sports in areas such as Qi and Linzi.

The first pair of football boots with historical records came from the second Tudor monarch, King Henry VIII of England and Ireland. The shoes, recorded in one of his inventory in 1526, cost 4 shillings (equivalent to £100 today) and were made by his personal shoemaker.

In the 19th century, with the popularity and standardization of football, players began to play uniformly in boots with six studs.

After entering the 20th century, professional sneaker manufacturers began to prosper. In the mid-20th century, the Deisler brothers in Germany invented replaceable studs to adapt to games in different climates and venue conditions. With the emergence of sports giants, football boots also began to have their own basic shape, and more flexible low-top designs began to be widely used.

What do football boots do?

✔️Improve your exercise level

The primary function of the sneakers is to improve the player's athletic level. Through the comfortable wrapping, the player can be more precise and provide sufficient strength in technical links such as pass control and stop shooting. In addition, the fusion of various high-tech elements and sneakers provides assistance to give full play to the player's level.

✔️Provide foot protection

During the game, the player's movement can be deconstructed into three types of scenarios: long-time running without the ball, short-time touching the ball, and confrontation with opponents. The sneakers are designed according to the above scenarios to protect the player's feet as much as possible on the premise of ensuring sports performance. It is worth mentioning that, in order to provide better protection, compared with ordinary sports shoes, football shoes are significantly different in tongue design, heel lock, and outsole support device.

✔️Improve grip

Football fields are mainly natural grass fields and artificial grass fields. Because the field is easy to slip, in order to improve the grip, most sneakers are equipped with studs (except those suitable for flat courts), and the studs are also the biggest difference between the appearance of sneakers and ordinary sports shoes.
