As we get ready to say goodbye to daily world class soccer games during breakfast, lunch, and dinner (depending on your time zone) Shutout Central would like to point out the soccer cleats worn by the starting goalkeepers of the 2010 World Cup.
Puma Powercat 1.10 – This cleat was worn the most on the field by goalkeepers. Soccercleats101.com has a great review on the cleat. Stay tuned to why Bryan thinks this cleat was chosen the most by goalies over the other 10 players.
Gianluigi Buffon, Italy
Diego Benaglio, Switzerland
Jan Mucha, Slovakia
adidas Predator X TRX - the Sea of Yellow. adidas’s 10th anniversary of the widely popular and successful predator style and celebrates South Africa’s first hosting of the world cup with it’s yellow design.
Manuel Neuer, Germany
Vincent Enyeama, Nigeria
Maarteen Stekelenburg, Holland
Alexandros Tzorvas, Greece
Noel Valladares, Honduras
Nike CTR360 Maestri Elite - very hard to find soccer cleats.
Sergio Romero, Argentina
Nike Vapor Superfly V - You would think many goalkeepers would look for a boot with more protection and stay away from the Vapors. Thomas Sorensen from Denmark thinks otherwise and wore the sold out soccer cleats.
Thomas Sorensen, Denmark
Lotto FuerzaPura – Federico Marchetti, Buffon’s replacement wore these simple cleats and so did Barry Boubacar.
Federico Marchetti, Italy
Boubacar Barry, Ivory Coast
adidas adiPure III TRX – a very simple and modest cleat from adidas. It’s one of the less expensive cleats worn during the World Cup as well. You may just want to read more about them.
Samir Handanovic, Slovenia
Robert Green, England
Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II – another goalkeeper making the surprising choice of the vapors. Maybe it’s not so surprising since Khune made more saves with his feet than hands.
Itumeleng Khune, South Africa
Under Armour Dominate Pro - this simple designed cleat was worn by Mexico’s keeper, Oscar Perez. He wore it in white with black.
Oscar Perez, Mexico
umbro sx valor II - worn by England’s David James and his teammate John Terry (not pictured). Pretty good cleat with a simple design.
David James, England
adidas F50 adiZero – a flashy pair of cleats (especially for a goalkeeper) that was only worn by one starting goalkeeper.
Justo Villar, Paraguay
Nike t90 Laser III – this cleat was marketed for the likes of Wayne Rooney, so you wouldn’t expect a goalkeeper to be wearing these.
Mark Paston, New Zealand
Nike Tiempo Legend Elite - another Nike cleat from their Elite collection worn by starting goalkeepers of the World Cup.
Tim Howard, USA
Jung Sung Ryong, South Korea
Rais M'Bolhi, Algeria
Claudio Bravo, Chile
Vladimir Stojkovic, Serbia
Nike Total 90 Laser Elite - this cleat was made for speed, but we found two goalkeepers wearing these in the World Cup.
Richard Kingson, Ghana
Souleymanou Hamidou, Cameroon
Nike Mercurial Vapor VI – you may have seen these cleats worn by several field players on the field, but it was worn by Algeria’s goalkeeper who sat the 2nd and 3rd game of the tournament after conceding a soft goal.
Faouzi Chaouchi, Algeria
The classic adidas copas/adidas world cup cleats were spotted on some of the keepers on the bench and Germany’s second string keeper Hans Joerg Butt.
Hans Joerg Butt, Germany

Thomas Sorensen actually wore Nike Talarias ID, with the color of his team black, yellow and white. They seem like mercurial Vapors but they are not, just an observation.

This soccer cleat is comfortable and has a good cleat design for turf, along with being reasonable on grass. Coupled with a very distinctive & sharp outward design, Puma has produced a great value for the purchase price.
