Looking for a very late Christmas present! What would be the most suitable football boots for a gaelic player? Perferably not Preds or Puma Kings (long story. not worth telling).

If puma king mouldies arent your thing, then the next pair of boots that wont rip, ie preds, are the nike t90 laser II. Now have the same-ish technology as predator but wont fall apart.
Gaelic boots need to be a bit robust than some soccer boots.

I have three general rules on boots:
1. Only do black
2. Dont have your name on them.
3. You get what you pay for.

I'd advise the black leather ones as the have the same technology but dont have plastic everywhere.

Remember a story that used to be in the dandy, Billys Boots are something it was called. a usless lad puts on the boots and he would score from anywhere then. they prob the worlds best boots but i not sure if Billy would part with them though.

as for I, I usually go for the umbro speciallis too, around the ?40-45 mark for both the moulds and 6 stud and they fine and comfy too

Take 10 min and go onto prodirectsoccer website's bootroom. You can choose from virtually every boot available. Lots usually in the sale.

Ah Lads......Stick with a pair of O'Neill's boots!!! whats wrong with yiz...you're not playing in the premiership.. You need a pair of boots that can withstand a heavy wet ball. O'Neills all the way......For shame.
