What is the problem you found?
When footy studs break down you have to get new boots which is putting lots of waste into the environment.
What is your opportunity?
How might we be able to keep the boots but replace the plastics studs?
Who is your audience?
Our customers are anyone who plays a sport and uses football boots.
All of our customers experience the pain of throwing away boots and adding to landfill after the end of a season. There are currently no eco-friendly boot options on the market and we hope to change that.
What Is Your Solution?
Spud Studs are shoes have interchangeable studs for different sport fields, the money made from the shoes will go to a local spud farm. Interchangeable studs will halve the amount of shoes thrown away each year.
Studs made out of extremely durable recycled plastic, when they are are ruined just replace the studs, not the entire shoe. Good for environment and for savings.

Advice
We want to hear from current boot designers and developers (Nike, Addidas etc) to see if they would like to partner with us to design the eco-friendly boots.
