The metatarsals are five long bones in the forefoot which connect the ankle to the toes. The first is linked to the big toe and the fifth, on the outer foot, links to the little toe.

This month, the Concave PT+ was selected over Puma and Adidas to win “Best Boot” at the Oscars of football kit – the Avid Soccer Equipment Review's awards in Los Angeles, California.
In January 2010, the UK's most influential football website, footy-boots.com, also cited the Concave PT+ as one of its “Football Boots of the Decade”, claiming Concave is an “inspiration” and predicting the manufacturer will have more than one boot in the list next time round.
