History of Football Boots
The history of the football boot
1526: The earliest football boot is recorded as belonging to King Henry VIII
1800’s: Players wore hard, leather work boots, which were long laced and steel toe capped as the first football boots
Late 1800’s: Football boots shifted to a slipper style shoe, which were made of thick, hard leather going up the ankle for increased protection and incorporated leather studs - they weighed 500g

Bolton 08-09 Home Kit
Bolton Wanderers’ O8/09 home shirt is a pleasant surprise - unlike past seasons, this kit is NOT all-white.
It’s still mostly white, of-course, with the new sponsor logo in blue and a shade of navy blue on the shoulders with red trim and blue shorts. You have to see it to believe it - the shoulders look a cross between pads and a holster, although I’m just glad that they’ve gone with something other than just plain-white.
