After some impressive performances in the Premier League, we've dug out our pair of Pantofola d'Oro Lazzarini Canguro football boots. These are the Pantofola d'Oro boots currently being worn by Fulham's Damian Duff, who recently impressed against Manchester United, so we thought we'd give the SoccerBible fans a closer look at these little known boots...
Visually, the Lazzarini Canguro is probably one of the most understated football boots of all time, but as far as performance is concerned, it is without doubt a top-end performer. They are a unique boot choice from Damian Duff, as they go against the modern culture of colourful speed football boots, but these quality kangaroo leather boots are clearly a hit with the attacking midfielder.
As a brand, Pantofola d'Oro
have forged a niche in the boots market, for creating high quality leather football boots with classy minimalist styling. The Lazzarini Canguro boots are an icon of their range, as they bear the name of the family who established the legend of the golden slipper!
Pantofola d'Oro translates as Golden Slipper, so-called because when the Lazzarini's presented football legend John Charles with a new pair of boots, the Juventus legend remarked that they were like golden slippers, thus the brand name was born!
Using the softest kangaroo leather, every pair of Pantofola d'Oro football boots are handcrafted in Italy to the highest standards of craftsmanship.
