There's just no need is there? They have less traction it would seem and they'd look more use on some cowie-pulling gimmers hands at a rave.

The fancy colouring has nothing to do with traction. Why can't footballers wear whatever boots they want? It makes no difference what they look like. So you don't like purple boots? I can't say I love them either, but why is it ALWAYS fucking mentioned if anyone other than Messi wears a colour that isn't insanely conservative?
