Belgian Golden Shoe

In association football, the Belgian Golden Shoe (Dutch: Gouden Schoen, French: Soulier d'Or, German: Goldener Schuh) is an award given in Belgium at the beginning of each civil year to the best footballer of the Belgian Pro League for the past year.

Paul Van Himst has collected 4 Belgian Golden Shoes which is the current record.

The first foreigner to win the trophy was the Dutchman Johan Boskamp, especially for his excellence during the second half of the 1974–75 season, when his club, RWDM (currently defunct), won its first and only championship title.

The only foreigners who have won the award more than once are the Swede Pär Zetterberg and the Moroccan Mbark Boussoufa.

Finally, in 2016, Tessa Wullaert was awarded the first-ever Golden Shoe for women football players.
