Frequently asked questions
Are used football boots worth much?
Modest sums, since supply is high and boots are replaced often. Recent models in good condition sell fastest.
What is soleplate delamination?
The sole separating from the upper, usually starting at the toe. It cannot be reliably repaired and ends the boot’s life.
Do screw-in boots need both stud sets?
It helps considerably, since buyers use different studs for different pitch conditions and replacements are fiddly to source.
