Ramires may have left Chelsea in January 2016 to sign a lucrative deal with Jiangsu Suning but the Brazilian has refused to become flashy, opting to continue wearing some patched-up boots.
The 30-year-old midfielder is reported to be earning around £200,000-a-week in the Chinese Super League.
'Mourinho's team better than Conte's'
You would think that salary would stretch to some new footwear, with Ramires’ current boots looking a little worse for wear.
He is, however, prepared to get creative when required and has taken to stitching up holes and ploughing on regardless.

Ramires has won widespread acclaim in China for his frugal ways, with many saluting him for sticking with his well-worn boots.
Conte: Costa should have shared cake!

The South American also netted a stunning goal in a 2-1 victory for Jiangsu over Shandong Luneng, so maybe ragged footwear is the way forward!
