Top 10 boots worn by footballers

Football is played by hundreds of thousands of players on a professional basis every week all over the world. However, there are ten men who are a class apart from the rest and are everything every amateur footballer aspires to become. These ten individuals have ruled the roost for years and will continue to do so in the future. We compiled this list keeping in mind that every fan likes to know about his favorite player’s shoes. Here’s the list of the 10 best football players in the world today and their preferred shoes:

#10 Luis Suarez - Adidas F50 adizero

It’s a shame to see this fantastic striker at the bottom of this list but his poor disciplinary record has let him down once too often. All that aside Suarez is easily one of the top three strikers in the world right now and will surely be a hit at Barcelona if his debut appearance against Real Madrid is anything to go by. The Uruguayan really exploded in his final season at Liverpool scoring 31 goals which raked in numerous awards. Suarez’s gifts are pace, dazzling trickery and astonishing finishing abilities which make him a nightmare to play against. The striker currently wears Adidas F50 adizero boots while playing.

#9 Wayne Rooney - Nike Hypervenom

Manchester United waited for years for the next Bobby Charlton and finally found him in a young Scouse lad who went by the name of Wayne Rooney. Ever since his phenomenal debut Rooney has been ever-present for United and has bailed them out of some tough situations on a regular basis. Capable of operating as a number 10 as well as a striker the Englishman is blessed with superb goalscoring abilities, vision and set piece skills which make him one of the best players of his generation. The boots that currently grace Rooney’s feet are bright orange Nike Hypervenoms.

#8 Sergio Aguero - Puma EvoSpeed

The little Argentine has been a real revelation since he arrived on English shores in 2011 and is already a legend in the eyes of Manchester City fans, courtesy of his unforgettable dramatic injury time goal against Queens Park Rangers which handed the Citizens their first Premier League trophy. With 11 goals in as many games this season, Aguero is already a front runner for the Golden Boot award. The 26-year-old is blessed with versatility, pace, trickery and outstanding passing abilities which makes him one of the best centre forwards in the game right now and most likely one of the best of all time. The Puma Evospeed is the boot that helps Aguero score all those magnificent goals.

#7 Andres Iniesta - Nike Magista Obra

The midfield maverick has been on countless similar lists and will continue to do so until he hangs up his boots. Iniesta has held the title of the world’s best central midfielder along with his partner Xavi for nearly a decade. The Barcelona man possesses extraordinary vision, superb passing skills along with great technique which makes him almost irreplaceable to the Catalans. While many people identify Messi as the face of Barcelona one mustn’t forget that the club wouldn’t have achieved so much in the past decade if it wasn’t for the Spaniard. The pass master currently wears Nike’s Magista Obra boots while on the field.

#6 Arjen Robben - Adidas F50 Adizero

No list of the best football players in the world today would be complete without mentioning this dynamic Dutchman who is undoubtedly one of the top three wingers in the world. Robben has wowed us ever since he first burst on the scene as a fresh faced 20-year-old with Chelsea a decade ago and has shown no signs of slowing down. After a phenomenal performance in the recent addition of the World Cup, Robben is already firing on all cylinders for Bayern Munich and currently has 5 goals in 8 appearances. The 30-year-old is blessed with outstanding pace, excellent dribbling skills and great finishing ability which is a huge asset for his team. The winger currently uses Adidas F50 adizero boots while playing.

#5 Manuel Neuer - Adidas Nitrocharge

Popularly known as the ‘sweeper keeper’ due to his contributions to the defence, Neuer is undoubtedly the best player in his position today. Neuer possesses superb reflexes, excellent shot stopping skills and is a commanding presence in his area making him a worthy replacement for the great Oliver Kahn for both club and country. The World Cup winning goalkeeper currently wears Adidas Nitrocharge boots while on the field.

#4 Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Nike Mercurial Vapor X

One of the best football players of all time, Ibrahimovic is known for his brilliance as well as his inflated ego. The phenomenal Swede is blessed with outstanding qualities like near-superhuman finishing abilities, excellent passing skills along with being lethal in the air. The 33-year-old has given us many fond memories like that amazing bicycle kick against England which was one of the four goals scored by him. All in all, one can safely say that Ibrahimovic is the best traditional striker around today. Ibra is currently scores goals with red Nike Mercurial Vapor on his feet.

#3 Neymar - Nike Hypervenom Phelon

The dynamic Brazilian has clearly put the heartbreak of a bright World Cup cut short by injury behind him and has truly exploded this season. Neymar now has 11 goals in as many games and has combined brilliantly with Messi as well as new signing Suarez making Barcelona one of the most terrifying attacking teams in the world. The youngster is blessed with pace, versatility, extraordinary trickery and great scoring skills making him one of the most gifted players right now. At 22 Neymar has already scored 40 goals for Brazil and looks set to become their national scorer in the future. Time magazine weren’t wrong when they proclaimed him as the next Pele. The boots that currently grace Neymar’s feet are bright orange Nike Hypervenom Phelon’s.

#2 Lionel Messi - Adidas F50 Adizero

Barcelona’s favourite son gets the second spot in this list. Messi has been wowing us ever since he made his debut in 2004 so much so that we’ve gotten used to seeing magic every time he steps on the pitch. The ridiculously prolific Argentine is just two goals shy of shattering Telmo Zarra’s long standing record of being the La Liga’s top scorer. Until he achieves that we look forward to more magic from the Messiah. Messi currently scores beautiful goals with a pair of Adidas f50 Adizero Messi boots on his feet.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo - Nike Mercurial Superfly

People continue to argue about whether Cristiano Ronaldo or his counterpart Lionel Messi should get the top spot on lists like this but I personally feel the honour should go to the Portuguese. Ronaldo is truly the complete player and has it all strength, speed, out of this world scoring abilities, brilliant from set pieces and a real one man army. Messi will get to the top eventually but for now the title is Ronaldo’s. The Real Madrid man, who’s currently enjoying his best season yet, is aided in his quest by a pair of customized black Nike Mercurial boots which feature the CR7 logo on the side.
