Poll: Favourite boots of all time
Just a few days ago I released my first boot related blog, which included my top 3 most memorable boots. After an insightful few days of flicking through your comments and tweets, it was clear the same boots were mentioned over and over again. So I’ve compiled a poll of the top 10 boots mentioned, in the hope of finding the ultimate winner.
So this is where you guys come in; simply vote for your favourite boot below and tell me why it should be in the poll, if not listed.

LikeI bought my first pair of predators when I was 11 and despite giving other boots a go throughout the years I could never stick with them. Once you have preds nothing else will do. The perfect boot!

LikeMy first pair were Puma Kings. Though back then I was playing AFL football and I was about the same age as you when you started about 7 or 8 playing the under 9s league. Then when I converted over to real football (or soccer) I bought my first pair of boots that would change my life. They were a pair of Adidas Copa Mundials. The most comfortable pair of boots I've ever worn. I'm quite tall and not as quick as some others so speed wasn't an issue. But if I got the technique correct when striking the ball I was confident it would go in the back of the net because they were so sweet to connect to the ball with. All in all I can't say enough good things about them. I got them around the time those white Beckham boots were first being marketed but I don't think they were even out yet!!!

Likeadidas predator accelerator in white with black stripes. amazingly comfortable, great amount of swerve on the ball and looked amazing. also had brilliant marketing, loved the ad with del piero pulling them out of the wall and Beckham shooting at a tiny hole with angel by massive attack to set the tone. miss my accelerators

LikeCan the Copa Mundial ever be touched ?? Has to be worn by more pro's and amateur's than any other boot in history .... a classic. Plus, they're black ..... not bloody green, blue, orange or some fluorescent rubbish.

LikeGotta be preds. I remember buying silver ones with silver dragon stitching cos David beckham wore them. They cost me a fortune but the first time I wore them they felt like an old pair of slippers. So damn comfortable.

LikeI loved my Puma Kings and even went as far as buying a second hand pair when I couldn't get the good ones anymore. That said, the opriginal predator was a hell of a boot and scored more goals with those on than any other. That is mainly because they seemed to correct my aweful shooting:)

LikeJoey B Adidas World Cups all the way! Classic black boots and like wearing slippers. I had the astroturf boots, moulded studs and screw stud in ones. every season a new pair of each. Nothing else felt as good!

LikeWhat I don't understand is that when predators first came out, the had massive plastic fins, which were the bit that gave all the swerve/power. Every generation since has seen less and less of the plastic fins. Are they gradually realising it doesnt actually work?

LikeMy first boots were Puma Kings so remember them fondly. I grew up watching Robbie Fowler too and everybody always talked about Kings so I had to have them.
But my best boots of all time were a pair of Mizunos I got off some Sport Direct-predecessor mail order company that I don't remember the name of. They were £16(!) and I remember getting a better feel off them than the Predators and Vapors I have clogging up my cupboard now.

LikeJoey B alas, it appears that way, can't really argue with the Predators leading the poll, but i'm not too keen on the latest designs. But as for them Nike Vapors, nah man, ya need a good leather upper!

LikeBeansy84 Joey B The Vapors are for premiership and pro's but Junior Lge or Sunday lge in Britain, they are too light and offer no protection.
