Legend Daniele De Rossi Cuts Hole In Boots - Here Is Why
"I had a huge pain in his heel bones so he decided to explore a little bit. I came to the conclusion that I have Haglundās deformity/heel (Google it for more info). All football boots that were available were too stiff for me in the heel counter and I always suffered from pain. Size UK10 was always too big for me and size UK9.5 was too small for me. I donāt want to wear UK10 because I always get unnecessary blisters on my thumbs while changing direction and my shoot is not effective. With the size UK9.5 and the holes in the heel counter, my feet and heel bones fit perfectly inside. If you have the same problem, feel free to do this. I know itās painful to cut a brand new boots but youāll save yourself from the stupidest pain."
Of course, you have to keep in mind that if you do this to your boots you will lose warranty.
