BOOTSKINS is a cover for studded boots that slips over with studs protruding keeping boots PROTECTED & MUD FLEXING OFF during play
So here we are hoping to crowdfund so we can further develop and size more boots aswell develop a website/purchase a video camera and possibly purchase a 3d scanner, if we hit our target that would be just amazing and could help us purchase a laser cutter and in return a great opportunity to pre buy the BOOTSKINS as a reward as we feel now is time to start getting our GAMECHANGER product out there so everyone can see how amazing it is!!
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US!
I am a mom of 4 and football has dominated our house for the past 8/9 years, myself and my husband are both level 1 FA accredited coaches(my husband was awarded FA coach of the year few years back) and i am also a mini soccer referee and we both help run the club our children play at (secretary/welfare officer/head coach and development), my husband has been coach to all our childrens teams and continues on.
BOOTSKINS IN THE MAKING!
so how did BOOTSKINS come about and what is it and why is it so amazing!
so one day(christmas day) when i was sat there watching shark tank i thought what really annoys me is MUD and constantly buying new boots? DESPITE SEARCHING THE INTERNET THE ONLY SOLUTIONS WERE BEFORE OR AFTER A GAME NOTHING FOR ACTUALLY DURING A GAME!! so i thought to myself i'm gonna make my son a pair of boot covers as he suffers with his toes anyway and i hate mud and dont even get me started on how many pairs of football boots we have to buy because the quality is not what it used to be but generally 2/3 pairs a each season, so off i went(a week later because of xmas and new year) and bought some fabric sewed a pair together grabbed my snippers and popped them on his boots, my husband was like that is amazing(as a husband should) this is like a game changer? i was like do you think so? he was like yeah phone your boss(shes a solicitor) we need a patent solicitor, so i did and within 4 days we were starting the process as we wanted it done properly. The patent was then drafted and filed so we could continue to prototype some more pairs and test them, we were also granted the fast track for our patent and currently awaiting our trademark which has just been published.
Each year there are about 265million pairs of boots sold worldwide so we know there is a market for BOOTSKINS
BOOTSKINS has been creatively developed and well thought out and the attention given to every aspect and precise detail from the sourcing of materials down to the trim to bring a GAMECHANGER product to market.
so BOOTSKINS not only keeps the mud flexing off the bottom throughout the whole game but keeps feet drier and warmer, they protect the boot prolonging there use. BOOTSKINS allows players to wear there boots for the intended use which is grip in muddy conditions, we took photos of the games and the difference between wearing them and not wearing them is 90% less mud, and the best thing about BOOTSKINS is they can be customised with any design.
BOOTSKINS vision is to help prolong the life of your boots, keep them CLOG FREE from MUD during play giving the grip they were intended for, extra protection for feet whilst keeping them drier and warmer.EVERYONE that has seen them in action think BOOTSKINS is amazing and can not wait for them to be available to purchase.
we purchased a pair for testing so we paid £30 for some sondico ones and the prototype we used wasn't even laser cut it was snipped and was used the equivalent of 58 wears(between 1-2hrs each time) in muddy/wet conditions and despite the soles coming away from the top they were still wearable for games ONLY BECAUSE OF BOOTSKINS.(we have just done BOOTSKINSUK on tiktok with some videos)
the past 9 months we have worked tirelessly to perfect bootskins for stud patterns and sizes and have managed to keep everything local in our community with a manufacturer, graphic designer, laser cutter, printers and fabric supplier all along side our busy schedules, we also had to put things on hold for a short while as my husband was taken ill but is now home on the road to recovery(not from my nursing skills)BUT ALSO THE PAST 9 MONTHS WAS NO WALK IN THE PARK!
BOOTSKINS IS GONNA BE A GAME CHANGER AND THE PLANS WE HAVE MADE AND THE SUPPORT WE HAVE RECEIVED IS OVERWHELMING AND WE ARE SO EXCITED.
We would also like to run a charitable side of BOOTSKINS where we work with clubs and get pre owned boots donated and cover them with BOOTSKINS so more children have a chance to play especially now with cost of living crisis we dont want to keep buying boots we want to buy a pair that last all season and if our children outgrow them we want someone else to get the wear out of them that our kids didn't.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ OUR PROJECT AND SUPPORTING US!
