Right, first things first before i get some stick for being OLD I'd like to point out I like FLAIR as much as the next guy; alice bands and purple kits all the way as far as i'm concerned. However when I went to buy some new boots for the first time in a few years last week I could not believe the STATE of the choices available me in my local JJB and Sports Direct (or whatever its called now)!
Everything was made of the most HIDEOUS colours but most importantly for me, all the boots, even the ones for over a hundred quid, were PLASTIC! Now if the colour is alright i'd have no problem with a pair of coloured boots in principal, but am i that old fashioned to actually want a pair of football boots to be made out of LEATHER? Is that too much to ask?
Anyways, because of this I left it, came home and had a look online for some classic Umbro Speciali's that i've bought on many occasions over the years. To my amazement (delight) the first site I came across that had them was JJB.com and they had the £79.99 pair for £19.99!
Just for good measure I bought a pair of studded ones as well that were £49.99 down to £12.49!
(although it appears they may have sold out of the soft ground ones now)
Both are leather all the way round the front and they fit PERFECTLY!
So, if like me, you're a bit old school when it comes to footy boots and you just want a very decent pair (or pairs) of leather football boots for less than a score i suggest you snap up a pair of these very quickly!
