Knitted Boots

Not a discussion on gift ideas for Gerrez....

Think Suarez.....

 

Gerrez wears knitted boots?

 

Was thinking babies Billy but yeah we''ll go that way lol

 

I'm not very tall, this one's gone right over my head.

 

Boots that are knitted Saint,

Visions of grannies being bundled in to vans to work in sweat shops....

 

I could work that one out from the thread title.
I just thought it might be some pun or something, but I've seen the picture now.

They'd be crap in the wet.

 

I'd like a pair with a plaited stitch myself..

Might be itchy though.

 

Trying to make the idea manly: all dark and broody as he plays that string game yer sister played when you were wee....

 

Looks even more Evil than normal in that photo.

 

This some sort of weird South American thing like mate and calabash gourds with metal straws??

 

#injuries

 

My first thought to.

Risk breaking every bone in the foot like Agger.

 

These look unbelievably horrible!

 

They look like something my mum might have made when we were poor.

"I've knitted you some football boots son"

"Awwwhhh mum, the other kids will laugh"

"They're the same thing son, I even put those stripey things on the side!"

 

How is that going to work on the pre-soaked fields?

 

I'm surprised none of Rooney's lovers have knitted him boots yet.

 

All sorts of foot and ankle injuries nowadays that didn't happen often when men wore great honking stiff pieces of heavy leather on their feet.

Performance vs safety. Wonder how knit boots will affect this balance.

 

I'm drinking Yerba Maté now.

/ from mug not gourd.

 

Of course not, injuries weren't as detailed. All foot injuries were "dodgy ankles"

 

I remember when men's balls were bigger and more leathery too.
