World Cup players customize cleats with help from Scottish craftsman

Ryan Park, a Scottish boots specialist, is gaining attention from professional soccer players for his customized cleat services. Many players at the World Cup favor colorful cleats, with nine of France's starters wearing pink in their opener against Senegal. Michael Olise stands out in white and uses the Hypervenom III cleat, which he refurbishes through Park. The demand for soft ground conversions and personalized cleat modifications has seen Park expand his business from his side hustle to a full-time venture, aided by a significant social media presence. Park now caters to increasing requests from players seeking unique adaptations.
