Why do boot manufacturers go to extremes?

I like a black boot probably more than most people, but those are even too bland for me. And that's saying something.

White or silver Adidas stripes would set those off a treat.

Is it an extension of the current fashion for "black on black" cars?
Black car, black alloys, black badges, etc.

No Phil E. I've only just managed to persuade the observers that it doesn't matter what colour the boots are and now you have ruined all my hard work..........

You could well be right but hell, you need some contrast.

Even a grey stripe on a black boot, would be better than black on black.

It's called "murdered out" Phil, and that fashion has been around for at least 6-7 years.

Also, those boots are a bit old...they're from last winter from memory...

What an outstanding boot - RFU should make them mandatory for all match officials - black laces allowed.
Already grinning ear to ear SimonS after a platter of Fruits de Mer and a cheeky Landes rose on the beach near Bayonne.
In this mood DaftMedic would get a good report wearing white, pink, or psychedelic boots.
Reminds me I must have a word with Messrs Cousins and Brown about watching DaftMedic on an observer a Exchange to SEG next season.
