What was your football boot of choice

My lad needed a new pair of football boots for school so had to take him to sports direct as nowadays there are limited sports shops knocking about. Every boot seems to be a different colour or an array of colours. What has happened to the good old fashioned black football boots. Ended up getting him a pair of Adidas in white/purple/orange.

I had my trusted Adidas copa mundials and Adidas World Cup for years. Mundials In my opinion were the best pair of boots ever made. I had a pair given to me when i was a yt back in the 90s and they admittedly were looking shabby. However a little while back I tried to find them. My wife tells me she had thrown them out. I had a proper strop and in all honesty still haven’t gotten over it. Probably never will.

I also had a pair of those Adidas predators in the early 2000s that looked pretty cool.

They don’t make them like they used to.

Starting off with nike total 90's, then dare I say I had the same white and gold pair as Rooney for a while *head in hands*, before wearing the old style Nike mercurial vapor (the proper Ronaldo), they then changed the style and they wrecked my feet. I had a pair of F50's to replace them but barely remember them. Bare in mind I was a kid for most of this.

I have copa mundials now, I would wear vapors if I played more often though.

Rough progression of my boots, always had to have the most expensive version as well (so thanks for that mum), I had 2 or 3 pairs before the first pic but can hardly remember them.

The Nike Mercurial Vapors I, II & III were brilliant, especially as a quick striker.

Mundials have kept their price as well.
I had a pair of valsports a while back. They were a pretty nice pair. Had a bit of Swaze about them.
Question for any of the younger members. Are these modern boots easy to clean/maintain. When I played I used to have to clean my boots in a bucket then put dubbin on them. These new boots look like they may be hard to keep in a good condition.
