Kegen asked:
What were those gold boots that Zinedine Zidane wore during the 2006 World Cup with France?
Answer
Hi Kegen,
Zizou, as Zidane was called by his team mates, graced the World Cup in a pair of Adidas +Predator Absolutes football boots. What is unique about these football boots, is that they were completely gold in colour.
Zinedine Zidane’s gold football boots were never available to buy as they were made as a commemorative boot in his honour of his retirement.
allan russell asked:
Hi I am a professional footballer and recently ruptured my cruciate ligament while turning on the pitch. I was wearing adidas Predator SG blades as i have done for years. However I have been told these traxion blades encourage that type of injury and to stay away from them in future. I love wearing predators and don’t want to change but feel I have to as they don’t give you the option of a more safe studded sole which would be perfect. What advice can you give me……
Answer
Hi Allan Russel,
Adidas’ recent “mi adidas” initiative, aimed at delivering customized athletic footwear to retail customers, allows for you to customize all aspects of the shoe of your choice. Among the products available for customization is the adidas Predator PowerSwerve. Not only can you customize the boot’s colours to make it your own, but you can also choose the type of studs. Click HERE to find miadidas store locations in the UK, or if based in the US, go to the miadidas website. There you can follow the step-by-step selections until you reach the stud selection. After selecting soft ground you can select the stud type. Listed are hybrid and traxion studs. Select the hybrid studs as they offer a conventional round head to reduce chances of the studs catching in the turf. You can then choose one of the following stud lengths to suit the type of turf you play on:
- 10mm forefoot/ 16 mm heel
- 13mm forefoot/ 13 mm heel
- 13mm forefoot/16 mm heel
Hybrid Studs
Though the process may be a bit more expensive than a regular pair of Predators it may resolve your problems and allow you to continue to sport your favorite boots. We hope this service could prove to be the solution to your problems.

Ricky Sparkes asked:
Does a professional footballer have to be sponsored to wear a company’s boots?
I ask this as I remember a few years back Stan Collymore having an argument with his sponsors at the time and then in the next match, wore blacked out boots.
Answer
Hi Ricky,
Thats a great question. The answer to your question is no, professional footballers don’t have to be under contract with a company to wear their boots. As long as they’re not under contract with a company, they’re free to wear their boot of choice.
jayson asked:
Hi, on which websites can I design my own football boots?
James asked:
What can you tell us regarding the various Under Armour boots Bobby Zamora has been wearing for quite some time?
Answer
Hi James,
Under Armour Inc. plans to enter the football boot business as early as 2010, a move that could have the legs to bolster the company’s sought-after international exposure. Under Armour have worked closely with many English footballers through the design and creation process of their football boots, which we are now seeing on English pitches as they are player tested. We believe Zamora has been wearing the Under Armour Dominator football boots for Fulham in the Premiership.
Esther Park asked:
Who invented the football boots with screw-in studs?
Answer
Hi Esther,
Puma claim they have documents that prove that they were developing screw in studs, as early as 1948. Named the “Super Atom”, Puma claim this football boot was the first manufactured football boot with interchangeable studs. You can read the ongoing argument between adidas and Puma as they both claim to be the first company to manufacture and market screw in studs for football boots HERE.
