Synthetic Most football boots are now made of synthetic material. This is light and durable and almost as comfortable as leather football boots.
Leather Leather boots are known for their wonderful fit and comfort because the leather will shape to your feet after a while. Keep in mind that you need to grease leather football boots regularly to keep them in good condition.
All models of football boots and goalkeeper gloves have unique features, designs, functionalities and prices. Below we have listed the most important models, in order from entry-level to top model.
One football boot is more suited to your position than another. For example, a central defender needs a stable boot with a wide sole plate, while a winger should opt for a lightweight boot for extra speed.
The surface (or ground) is important when buying football boots or goalkeeper gloves. We always advice to choose the surface you are going to use the product on. This way you can perform optimally and prevent injuries or rapid wear.
Want to know more about surfaces? Then check out our blog:
Natural Grass (FG; Firm Ground) Suitable for hard natural grass pitches. Usually slightly more studs in the shape of a hook, giving you a lot of grip on natural grass.
Artificial Grass (AG; Artificial Ground) Usually more studs in a rounder shape, which are closer together. This means the studs wear out less quickly on artificial grass and you have less chance of injuries.
Grass & Artificial Grass (MG; Multi Ground) Suitable for multiple surfaces. The soleplate is a perfect balance between natural grass and artificial grass studs.
Soggy Grass (SG; Soft Ground) Ideal for short, soft grass pitches. Usually fewer but longer iron studs, so you are less likely to slip on soggy grass.
Indoor (IN) Equipped with a rubber outsole that does not leave marks in the hall.
Street (TF; Turf) Especially for harder surfaces such as street or short artificial grass. Have many small rubber studs for optimal grip, freedom of movement and a lot of cushioning.
