We've progressed from white to orange/yellow to flouro green. At least I have no trouble finding him on the field.Offspring #1 reluctantly went to white boots this season because Dan Carter is wearing them.

No.Inside Shoulder, Have you produced a BACK? And then you publically announce that fact on the Worlds Best Rugby Blog?
Shame!
Wouldn't be surprised if there was an emergency EGM of the Cauliflower Club held to review your membership status.
Backs Indeed!
I used a pair of 6 stud Puma boots for ages. It wasn't until I bought a pair of Canterbury boots did I realise what I was missing out on. They were far and away the best football boots I ever owned.
They were pretty much these ones:

I added the extra stud to make the boots a 9 studder. As far as stud length goes, I have always gone for 18mm.
I think I've worked out you were in the tight 5 but 18mm in QLD in all conditions??
My dear old dad used to scoff at forwards who wore cut-away boots as he callled them. "They're for backs, what would a forward want to wear them for, how can you push is scrums wearing them" etc.
And as a tight head prop he produced a half back and a 5/8 who ran around in cut-away boots.
I had a pair of those and they split within 6 weeks. Since then I have been in predators and I wouldn't be in anything else.I used a pair of 6 stud Puma boots for ages.

I have a pair of these, they are great for me as I referee these days so I don't need the long studs. They seem to fit my feet perfectly. This is my 4th pair of Predators I think, and I would recommend them highly. Although they all seem to be going away from a predominately black boot which is generally frowned upon by the referee coaches.That's quite unfortunate. I must say those Canterbury boots did eventually split..9 years later. I would have taken them back and asked for a replacement or refund if I were you.
I do find it interesting though. Obviously you were onto a good thing with your predators, I liked the canterbury boots. Others will swear by other makes of boot.
So a general question would be.. what boots do you own and why do you like them?
