These boots are made for honest tackles.
The good people over at Football Boot Database have been counting boots… a lot of them.
They’ve crunched the numbers on the footwear worn by the squads in the top five leagues in Europe, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1, and the results are pretty interesting.
Nike dominate the market with 50.9% of players donning boots bearing the famous tick. Adidas come in second with 38.6% while Puma are way out in third with 6.5%.
In the Premier League, the Magista is the most popular boot model. However, for league high-flyers Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, that particular boot is represented quite poorly in the teams’ respective starting line-ups.
Check out the the shoes worn by their respective starting XIs below.
