They were made by his personal shoemaker, Cornelius Johnson. Not much is known about these football boots except they were made of strong leather, they were heavier than a normal shoe of that day and they were ankle high. Why they were worn is not really known. Jump three hundred years and you will see football taking and gaining popularity in Britain. Still it was not structured well and was considered just an informal past time. The boots the players wore were made of heavy leather and usually had either metal studs or tacks hammered on the soles of the boots, thus the invention of cleats.

Through the years football cleats became better and better and then in nineteen ninety four came Adias, which released a revolutionary design and style to the football boots. They introduced their line of bladed outsole traxion, which were tapered shaped blades. Puma was hot on Adias heels developing another innovative style cleat which were wedge shaped studs. Many other sports manufacturers were making football cleats as well. Then entered Nike, the world’s biggest producer of sportswear.
