Football Boot Brand Nike has dismissed claims that its Total 90 Laser boot was the cause of Wayne Rooneys foot fracture, which has left the Manchester United and England international sidelined for two months.

The hairline fracture Rooney suffered to his left foot in Sundays Premiership opener against Reading is his third foot related injury since 2004.

Charlie Brooks, head of Corporate Communications for Nike UK has defended the football boot brand saying: He (Rooney) himself is personally absolutely confident, as we are, that the boot had nothing to do with his injury.

He added: Nearly 20% of the professional players in the Barclays Premier League this weekend were wearing this boot.

I think it is a boot that stands up to all kinds of testing.and stands up to on-pitch demand.

I think what happened to Wayne is an unfortunate football injury.

When we were developing this boot we worked extensively with Wayne.

He was part of the development testing process. He went over to our headquarters in the United States and he tested the boot extensively over there.

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright however believes football boot brands in general need to sit down and see what they can do to help reduce the recent increase in foot injuries.

Wright states: This latest spate of foot injuries must be linked to the lightness of the boot, what else can it be?

Lets roll back a decade and look at a time when boots werent so advanced or precise, very few players seemed to have metatarsal injuries or foot damage like this..
