The model is handmade and painted in gold just like a real one. History The European Golden Shoe, formerly known as the European Golden Boot, is an association football award presented each season to the leading goal scorer in league matches from the top division of every European national league. From its inception in the 1967–68 season the award, originally called Soulier d'Or, which translates from French as Golden Shoe or Boot, was given by L'Équipe magazine to the top goal scorer in all European leagues that season.

Between 1968 and 1991, the award was given to the highest goal scorer in any European league. This was regardless of the toughness of the league in which the top scorer played and the number of games in which the player had taken part. During this period Eusébio, Gerd Müller, Dudu Georgescu and Fernando Gomes each won the Golden Boot twice.
