Regulars to the SoccerBible will know that for every synthetic and innovative boot we fall in love with, there's a classically styled leather alternative we equally adore. And one brand that we've got a soft spot for is Pantofola d'Oro, because they offer something different to what other brands are doing and their boots are of a supreme hand-made quality.
Pantofola d'Oro is currently celebrating 125 years since the old Lazzarini's cobblers shop was founded in Ascoli Piceno, and throughout their career they have stayed true to the principles and standards that have seen them forge such a popular niche in the boots market.
These two new releases are modern-day performers that celebrate the past, by encapsulating the hot blooded passion of the Azzuri with the Rosso Editions, and going back to those early days with the gorgeous Brown versions.
As a brand, Pantofola d'Oro have created a reputation for 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!
But tradition and style aside, the bare facts are that Pantofola d'Oro create quality, soft and comfortable leather football boots designed to perform to the rigours of the modern game.
With a classic timeless design, the Lazzarini Canguro is lightweight and flexible and made from the softest kangaroo leather available. Perfectly fitting and moulding to shape of the foot for fantastic ball control and feel, the comfort and performance you'll enjoy is quite exceptional. And to ensure this high level, each pair is lovingly made by hand in Italy!
The Pantofola d'Oro range of football boots all follow the same principles of stylish design, with the highest levels of performance and craftsmanship. Opinion is sure to be divided over how these boots look, but you can be sure that when you pull these boots out of your bag in the changing room, they will get your team-mates talking and ultimately marvelling over the softness of the leather upper.
And just to reinforce the credibility of the brand, Pantofola d'Oro can boast some great wearers down the years including Fabio Capello, Jurgen Klinsmann, Roberto Mancini and Paolo Di Canio. The Lazzarini Canguro football boots are expected to retail for around £100 GBP, and we can expect to see them hit the shelves of selected retailers from late Otober.
