Golden shoe

The Golden Shoe, also known as the European Golden Shoe, is an award given annually to the top goal scorer in European football leagues. It recognizes the player who scores the most goals in league matches across various European countries. Since leagues differ in size and quality, the award uses a weighting system based on the league's UEFA coefficient, ensuring a fair comparison. The player with the highest adjusted total wins the Golden Shoe, highlighting outstanding goal-scoring performance in European club competitions.
