What are football boots

Depending on the type of game, all football shoes are divided into two conditional categories:

1. Classic spike shoes designed to play "big" football on the field or a special lawn. The most comfortable fixation on the leg, rigid adhesion to the ground through spikes, high maneuverability and low weight - these are the main characteristics of the best models;

2. Boots for futsal or futsal. Used on a hard surface, and therefore there is no need for spikes, they are successfully replaced by durable rubber tread, which provides maximum grip;

How to choose spiked boots

Depending on the specific performance characteristics, spike shoes are divided into the following types:

1. TURF. The boots intended for game on a natural lawn. Their design provides for the presence of 24 hard rubber studs, providing a uniform load on the foot and maximizing grip;

2. Multi Stud Rubber. Shoes, equipped with soft spikes rounded, thereby ensuring maximum operating comfort. Suitable for playing on both natural and artificial turf;

3. Hard Ground and Very Hard Ground - shoes designed to play in difficult conditions. These boots are equipped with flat-shaped spikes, which allow for excellent acceleration, as well as maintaining maximum adhesion to hard pavement — asphalt, gravel, as well as compressed snow;

4. Soft Ground (SG) - boots, designed for use on soft lawn. The most popular among goalkeepers and midfielders;

Being a separate type of sports shoes, shoes for playing in the gym are also divided into two conditional categories:

1. Indoor - classic models designed for an active game in the hall. The appearance is similar to the classic "street" boots, only the tread differs - instead of spikes, a straight polyurethane outsole is used here;

2. FS (Futsal) - light, soft and practical shoes used for futsal or futsal. Their main advantage is excellent grip and minimum weight;

What material are made football boots

Due to the narrow specialization, without exception, football boots are made from either genuine or artificial leather.

1. Genuine leather shoes are distinguished by high plasticity, wear resistance and perfectly retain their properties under extreme loads. These shoes are very good moisture wipes, not allowing feet to sweat. However, not all varieties of leather are suitable for making high-quality footwear - in order to maximize the effect and achieve the required characteristics, the best option is kangaroo leather or young calf skin;

2. Artificial leather in all its parameters is inferior to genuine leather, and yet such shoes are quite popular. Mainly, the merit lies in the obviously lower price - bootsimitation leather is chosen by those players who play football several times a year and are simply deprived of the need for expensive models;

How to try on football boots?

If we are talking about buying shoes made of artificial leather, you need to try on models that are 1/2 sizes larger than everyday shoes. This fact is explained quite simply - due to the dynamic loads the muscles are saturated with oxygen and poured with blood, as a result of which the foot significantly increases in size. Choosing obviously larger shoes, the player eliminates such an increase and eliminates discomfort during the game;

Genuine leather, due to its features and high plasticity, does not require the presence of a similar compensation gap. Boots, selected by size, are not able to deliver discomfort during the game, because the skin is great stretches. Of course, this fact concerns exclusively high-quality models from the skin of a kangaroo or a young calf.
