as a big beckham fan - i love the two, victoria and david - i'm not surprised that once again this sport ace is showing us the right way to wear soccer cleats! it warms my heart after this awful vick-thing and i'm content to see that there are still great sports people doing the right thing!

Way to go Becks (even if it was a woman who influenced you in the first place :)) David and Victoria are both very classy individuals.

This story may not get as much coverage as the Vick story, but you're right, it is a much more positive thing to be reporting.

I hope the Vick supporters that seem to be flocking to this blog site will take note. Beckham can be a great role model to children and adults alike, and more "celebrities" whether they are athletes or tv/movie stars should strive to be more like him with respect to his values.

This story warms my heart and increase my love and respect for Beckhams. You set an excellent examples for role model.

God bless you David & Posh, always. Wishing you a splendid career with LA Galaxy.

I'm a hunter, I enjoy killing animals. There's nothing wrong with that, I'm poor and they are a source of food! I use deer skin to make shoes..... booo David Beckham!!!

Jon,

And yet you can afford the Internet...interesting.

Doesn't Victoria wear leather and fur herself? Or is her husband that turned off by her wearing dead skins? Good news nonetheless.

for jon!
it doesn't matter if you are poor or rich, if you eat the meat of animals you hunt or make shoes......what is really offending in your comment is this stomach-turning sentence "I LIKE KILLING ANIMALS" ...
I personally think you must be challenged somewhere - being on the PETA sight and making a comment like that.

Roxanne,
Give the lovely lady time.
After all Victoria is a Vegetarian.
Give her some time.....

whats the difference between mass-produced leather treated with tons of chemicals? or synthetic shoes made out of petroleum based materials which are destroying the earth (and causing massive warfare for the remaining spoils during peak oil) at a rapid pace?

lets get real here people and look at the whole scope.

Gary,

What about plain or duck canvas, or hemp shoes? I imagine we could also fashion shoes from other environmentally-friendly materials.

Excellent news. Being a Brit i am interested in your use of the term 'soccer cleats'. I do feel slightly posessive over David and have to say that 'football boots' sits more easily on my tongue - but who the hell cares! Loving animals is a universal language. Big up Posh Spice!
