Graham Taylor Unveils The Sho’ot – The New (And Quite Possibly Fake) Football Boot For Managers

By Chris Wright

I’m pretty sure that someone in an ad department somewhere is pulling my pudding, but it says here that Graham Taylor has helped design and model The Sho’ot (shoe-oot) – a hybrid football boot/studded leather brogue produced to help stop managers slipping over on the touchline

Does he not like that? He should do, he designed the bloody thing

The fact that the Sho’ot has been unveiled in conjunction with the release of the new Football Manager game is probably a decent indicator that there’s a bit of marketing jiggery-pokey afoot here, and I’d call shenanigans if I hadn’t happened to spot that Aldershot manager Dean Holdsworth appeared to be sporting a pair during last night’s match against Manchester United…

Now I just don’t know what to think.

    What a proper turnip.

  2. don corleone says:

    Don’t managers wear regular dress shoes but with the same metal cleats that golfers use on their shoes to prevent slippage?

  3. James says:

    I think the big football manager logo on the sole of the shoe is a dead give away that it’s a viral for Football Manager…..

  4. Murray says:

    Do they come in black?

  5. Mr. Sparkle says:

    Rafa Benitez could have used a pair…

  6. wolfinho says:

    the bit on the achilles ruins it, but other than that, a clever idea. someday, when 17th-18th century fashion comes back into vogue, i’m sure footballers will wear these with stockings, breeches and powdered wigs.

  7. Nathan says:

    I shake my head when I see poor sods wearing brown shoes with black suits.

  8. Rooney Tunes says:

    Can’t wait to wear these around the office…

    They’ll work on marble and polished hardwood, won’t they?

  9. Grant says:

    @Nathan, um, that’s a navy suit, and it’s perfectly acceptable to wear brown shoes and a brown belt with a navy suit. Some argue that it makes the belt and shoes “pop” more.

    i believe pep guardiola wore similar shoes once. surely black ones would be better…

    Y’all r some posh mothafuckers.
