The heel and stud pads made them very comfortable. £90 a pair in 1986, bought by wife, for my birthday. Much better looking than these garish plastic things they wear these days. Mine eventually retired in 2008, after 22 years😟 Great choice Andy. Top boots! I must admit to loving puma kings as well. I own both copas and kings. I have done over many, many years. For me though. Copas are comfier and wear better. My current pair I've had for over 11 years. Wont part with them. Nothing like a classic pair of boots!

NANOJAMBO Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I used to work with a guy who'd wear a t-shirt that said "I'm big in nanotechnology". It always made me laugh and no one else in the office understood the pun. I chose it because it was a reference to some (now gone or reinvented ) posters on here who used to hog the place during the Levein era of success.
