10 Step Guide to Finding the Cheapest Football Boots

December 19th, 2008 by Ransacker | Comment

Here is our 10 step guide on how you can find yourself a real bargain and pick up either the best priced or cheapest football boots around.

First of all let’s start with finding cheap football boots. The word CHEAP by definition means, low in cost or relatively inexpensive, in football boot terms this means one of three things:

  1. Under £40 for a pair of genuinely cheap football boots i.e. their RRP is probably less than £50.
  2. More than 30% off the RRP
  3. The cheapest on the market

Ok so now you know what we mean by cheap football boots, how do you find them?

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Tip 1: Older = Cheaper 

If you can’t afford the latest boot take a look at the previous version. Often the way to find cheap football boots and to pick up a bargain is to buy an older model. By older we don’t mean a few years but a few months.

Example:  The adidas Predator PowerSwerve TRX Firm Ground Football Boots  are less than a 10 months old but are already £50.00 cheaper than the recently released XTRX football boots.

Tip 2: Dare to be different

When a boot is released it will generally come in 4 or 5 different colors. By choosing a slightly different color you can save as much as 50%. In monetary terms this means that you will save £30-£50!

Example:  adidas predator PowerSwerve DB XTRX Soft Ground Football Boots – White/Gold at £69.99 are £30.00 cheaper than their black equivalent!

Tip 3: Do the opposite

Just like clothes when the weather changes retailers have sales, the same applies for football boots. For example in the Summer when the weather is dry and the ground hard, soft ground football boots are cheaper but when the weather is wet in the Winter, hard ground football boots are cheaper.  So you may as well buy them when the are cheap and put them away until the weather changes.

Tip 4: Deal of the week

Every Monday we scour the web for the cheapest / best value football boots. Our retailers let us know first when a deal is arriving. So if you are prepared to move fast you can pick up a £80-£100 boot for less than £50! Click here to view our “Deal of the Week”.

Example:  Nike Mercurial Vapor Aero IV SG White Football Boots for just £79.99. That’s a saving of £40.00 from the RRP of £119.99.

Visit our Cheapest Football Boots page. On it you will find information about the 10 cheapest football boots on our database of 1000+ boots. They start from just £12.00!

Tip 6: Go Offline

We’d always recommend that you take a look in your local shops first. This is for two reasons, firstly to check your size and make sure that you are happy with the fit. Secondly, sometimes local retailers have some bargains on offer. However always check the price first. On general you will save at least £5 online.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Tip 7: ebay

Occasionally you can pick up cheap football boots on ebay i.e. unwanted boots brought as a present. However always check the sellers feedback and make sure they accept returns. Be warned sometimes on ebay you may think you are getting a bargain but the price is actually higher than on Ransacker. Always check our price first – you’ve got nothing to loose.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Tip 8: Special Offers / Vouchers

Have a hunt around of special offers or discount vouchers before you purchase. The easiest way to do this is just to Google the retailers name and the word voucher i.e. JustSocca Voucher. You never know what it may throw up! If there are any special offers about we will try and find them first and let you know on our blog.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Tip 9: Compare the market

To find the best price takes some work but hopefully we can help ease the process. We compare over 1000 boots and 20 retailers to find you the cheapest football boots. However if you do find the boots you want cheaper elsewhere let us know. Not only will we try and beat the price we will also contact the retailer to see if they want to be listed on Ransacker.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Tip 10: Write a Review

Every month we will give away a pair of football boots to the writer of the best review. Writing a review only takes 2 minutes and as you can see we don’t have many reviews yet so there isn’t much competition! After all, what’s cheaper than free?!  All you need to do is find your latest pair of football boots on Ransacker and click on Review.
