New PUMA v-Konstrukt III boots

Football and rugby boot technology appear to be converging with the latest offering from Puma that is so hi-tech that it can combine comfort, performance and protection. Whilst the new PUMA v-Konstrukt III may look like Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest boot of choice, they have actually been designed with the rugby player in mind. They are fairly eye-catching and so probably more suitable for the fleet-footed backs amongst us, but they offer more protection than the football equivalents. They have a ‘glove-like’ fit for comfort, which helps to minimise any waste in energy, but also feature impact protection sufficient for rugby whilst the off-centre laces will give you more control with your kicking. They are currently being worn by Mathew Tait, Dwayne Peel, Alex Tuilagi and Nick Abendanon and are available from www.TheKitTeam.com . Whatever happened to the high-ankled all-black steel-toed boots that used to be so popular?! Probably for the best that they’ve been consigned to the bin. (link)
