no they dont, they are just cleaned amazingly well. if they wore new boots each match many of them would constantly have blisters

Plus the pitches they play on are immaculate and not muddy at all, and therefore will not dirty the boots in any way. Even if the grass is wet (which it often is) boots could even end up cleaner at the end of a match!!!

Yea Beckham could get 1000 new pairs of boots every game...
But players dont want to because boots are have to be worn in it would just hurt their feet....

I'd want decent looking boots every match but comfort is key! Meaning I'd keep the same ones just make them look spiffy.

pros have their bots taylor made for them so they probably dont need to worry about blisters

yeh big time players, beckham, ronaldinho etc would have their boots made specialy to fit them
so they do not have to wear them in.

Not every game for most of the big names just about one for every week/two weeks but not every game unless its like the world cup or another big game where they will obvióusly want to show off.

Most unsponsored players do. Couldn't tell you about the sponsored players, but I'd presume most, if not all bar the odd few, do.

My friend gets a new pair every three month, but he's sick. The new MLS team (from Canada) is trying to scout him, and he's only 15!

Our school takes these like elite footballers from Korea and gives them an English based education so it can help them and make them more versatile. They're extremely good and a few have flown back to be on the Korean National Team.
We'll to cut a long story short, one of them that I know, his father is the owner of a pro team and they're sponsored by Adidas and he asked me if I wanted any boots so I said yeah and that he could get any of the unreleased shiznit. So I asked for a pair of the Gold/Black Absolutes SG haha it's awsome.
A few of them are already wearing the Nike AZT90 IV's...they look prime to be honest.

There is this Kid at my School who just got sponsored and is getting scouted to Europe to Play soccer.
He came from Colombia months ago and every team wants him.
It's hard to talk to him b/c he only speaks spanish but i think he gets new practice shoes, and game shoes but i don't know how often he gets them.

i was under the impression that players have a 2 pairs one for games and one for training. b/c didnt at the alst arsenal c.l. game one of the players run off the field to change boots. also they always have the most recent styles of boots and sponsors don't want their boots looking like crap on the field.
