Football cleats

from A Briefer History of Everything...

Football cleats, also known as soccer shoes, have a long and fascinating history. They were first introduced in the late 19th century, when football (or soccer, as it is known in some countries) was becoming a popular sport. At that time, players typically wore heavy, leather boots that were designed for everyday wear, rather than for playing football.
