Football is arguably the most popular sport in America, particularly among teenagers and children. If you have an Internet connection, you can create your own football boot, customizing the color and design fairly easily. The majority of companies that sell football shoes provide a method to personalize your own shoe online.

Instructions

1. Find out your size. Before building your football boot, it would be best to eliminate guesswork from the process and find out the size of shoe you will need. The best way to do that is to visit a local sporting goods or shoe store that sells football shoes. Once there, ask a staff member to measure your feet. Then try on the brands of the shoe you are planning to customize to ensure yourself of the best fit.

2. Find out your options. Most companies give you an option to build your football boots online. Nike has become quite well-known for its easy-to-use NikeiD brand. Meanwhile, Adidas has a line of customizable football shoes on its Mi Adidas site (see References).

3. Pick your style. After deciding on which brand you will use, you will have to choose the style of football shoe you plan to customize. The process is similar for most brands and shoes. For example, if you decide to go with Nike, there are more than 10 different styles of football shoes from which to choose.

4. Choose your bases. Every customizable brand involves a first step that gives you the chance to color the base of your football shoes. Most football shoes have an outside and an inside base, allowing you to choose two different primary colors, or just one if you decide on the same color for each base. Colors typically range from multiple shades of red, yellow, blue, green and orange, as well as black and white.

5. Choose your laces. Laces can add pizzazz to your football shoe, and each of the major sites come with a wide range of customizable colors. For example, using the Nike Mercurial Talaria, you can choose from traditional colors such as light blue or dark red, as well as newer ones such as fluorescent yellow or even grape.

6. Color the tongue. The majority of customizable football shoe brands giving you the option of choosing a color for the tongue of the boot that differs from the rest. NikeiD and Mi Adidas even provide you with a chance to color the eyelets through with the laces thread, which rest on top of the tongue.

7. Finalize your order. After the process of customizing your boot is complete and you have chosen a size, you will need to check out and pay. Once the payment goes through, your boots should arrive in 3 to 5 weeks.
