Here's our latest edition of boot spotting, which unbelievably does not feature a Mercurial Vapor! We've assembled an eclectic mix of football boots from around the globe, featuring old and new footwear not necessarily to be categorised as mainstream (barring of course Fernando Torres in Predators!)...

After a couple of weeks of Mango dominance, it was time for the adidas Predator Lethal Zones to rule pitches around the globe. But the Predator wasn't the only new boot on show, as we saw a new F50 adizero colourway and a new Mizuno Wave Ignitus II. So check out our latest edition of Boot Spotting, which can you believe it only features two Nike players?!

It used to be that every football boot was fitted with a conical sole-plate, but time, design and engineering has changed this, most radically this can be seen in the Speed market. Whilst every brand strives for greater acceleration and traction, how their respective designers go about delivering this performance is quite remarkably different...

Aside from the return of Paul Scholes wearing Nike T90 Shoot's(!), there were plenty of boot spots this week from around the globe ranging from as far afield as the Australian A League and Belgian Pro League, to the English FA Cup and Italian Serie A. Here's the SoccerBible's selection of this weeks best bootspotting action.

This year has been another run-away year for the Nike CTR360 – the current king of the control category. Rivals to the crown have emerged, with Umbro, Mizuno and Lotto offering their own interpretations. Have they done enough to earn your vote?
