It's Monday, it's boot-spotting. Get stuck in as we bring you our selection of the best boots on show from planet football.

Mario Balotelli

Mario Balotelli (AC Milan) Puma evoPOWER 1.2

The first 'Tricks' treatment to land on the second-generation evoPOWER was launched in the form of the 'H2H Duality' edition last week. Mario Balotelli slipped into the trademark split colourway which was unmissable on pitches across Europe this weekend in a vibrant combo of "Orange Clownfish" and "Electric Blue Lemonade".

Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) Nike Hypervenom Phantom II

The pick of the "Electro Flare" pack combined "Hyper Grape" with Black and Volt to produce a crisply executed Hypervenom II colour up for Fall 15. Robert Lewandowski switched into edition to score only twice in twelve minutes against Mainz. Useless. We remember the days he'd score five in that amount of time.

Aaron Ramsey

Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal) New Balance Visaro

New Balance were also giving a run out to their latest paint jobs this weekend as Aaron Ramsey took on the new "Baltic/Serene Green" Visaro silo. Ramsey played his part in the game of the day in the Premier League as Arsenal travelled back to London with a 5-2 win over Leicester City.

Kenedy (Chelsea) adidas MESSI15

adidas looked to the future this week as ten of world’s best young footballers were recruited to join Team Messi and wear his signature boot - the Messi15, in all competitions. Chelsea's Brazilian youngster Kenedy was selected and wasted no time getting those studs muddy by scoring in the Capital One Cup win against League One Walsall.

Neymar

Neymar (Barcelona) Nike Mercurial Vapor X

Are Neymar's Hypervenom days behind him? The Barcelona number 11 wore the Mercurial Vapor X for the second consecutive week and this time switched into the latest 'Electro Flare' edition. Neymar was installed as the face of the Hypervenom and everything was going smoothly with a UCL final goal, World cup appearances and a boat load of La Liga goals but for whatever reason he looks to have jumped ship.

Charlie Daniels (Bournemouth) Under Armour Speedform

Bournemouth's Charlie Daniels has joined the growing number of Under Armour players in the Premier League this season. The Speedform has been widely welcomed as the brand's best football boot to date and adopts a number of unique concepts including an articulated toe box and seamless heel cup.

Alvaro Negredo

Alvaro Negredo (Valencia) New Balance Furon

Alvaro Negredo has finally warmed to the New Balance Furon silo after months of remaining in the whiteout editions. Just as it looked like he wasn't going to budge the new "Deep Orchid" update has lured him out to give New Balance some much needed on pitch presence in La Liga.

John-Joe O'Toole

John-Joe O'Toole (Northampton) adidas ACE 15.1

adidas stripped things right back at the beginning of the month to release a super-clean edition of the ACE 15.1. Landing in its purest form the "White/Silver Metallic" has been snapped up by non-contracted players across the football league including Northampton's John-Joe O'Toole. Clean.

Nacho Monreal

Nacho Monreal (Arsenal) Puma evoSPEED 1.4

Nacho Monreal was representing Team evoSPEED in the 'Head-to-Head' Duality battle. The Arsenal full-back looked past the SL editions to request a bespoke leather edition of the standard evoSPEED 1.4 boot. The colourway did the trick at standing out this week as the boots appeared to be everywhere. A dominant tactic used to full effect by PUMA.

Eric Dier

Eric Dier (Tottenham) Nike Magista Opus

Eric Dier scored his second goal of the season in a stylish Tottenham rout of Manchester City on Saturday afternoon. Dier's was wearing a complete blackout edition of the Nike Magista Opus and it was his equaliser on the stroke of half time that gave Spurs the platform to run away as 4-1 winners at White Hart Lane.

Roberto Pereyra

Roberto Pereyra (Juventus) Nike Mercurial Superfly IV

The Juventus away shirt is a contender for kit of the season for us. Never has a pink strip looked so beautiful. Roberto Pereyra added the finishing touches at the weekend by pairing up the kit with the "Hyper Pink" Nike Mercurial Superfly IV for a sense of pure visual satisfaction. On another subject is he wearing Alvaro Morata's shin pads?

Ravel Morrison

Ravel Morrison (Lazio) Nike Ronaldinho Dois

Ravel Morrison produced the most random boot spot of the week by wearing the Nike Ronaldihno Dois. Originally launched in March 2009 the Dois was developed in conjunction with Ronaldinho to create the perfect boot made of supersoft kangaroo leather for ultimate ball touch.
