Arsenal Football Club today reveals its new online boot room which makes players’ exclusive footwear available to supporters for the first time. Set up with Pro-Direct, the world’s largest online football retailer, the service provides access to top of the range boots and the opportunity to personalise them.

The boot room will stock Nike Mercurial, CTR360 and Tiempo boots in the exact colour schemes and designs favoured by some of Arsenal’s top players.

The store’s boot personalisation service will give fans the chance to emulate players’ boots right down to the names, numbers and home flags stitched into the leather, or to individualise them with their own design flourishes.

The specially designed boots will be available in all sizes and for all surfaces, including astro-turf and indoor.

Arsenal player of the year, Jack Wilshere, says: “So much of the game is in your head and it's important you feel right in what you're wearing. My boots (Nike CTR 360s) feel so comfortable. When the ball comes to you they give you a nice soft touch. They're a light boot which is great for getting around the pitch – I think they're the perfect boot for any midfield player. The technology in football boots can really help your game. It’s important that you have boots that are right for you.”

The Arsenal boot room will deliver to most countries worldwide and most of Europe within 48 hours. Visit www.arsenalbootroom.com
