The impact of soccer shoes to player’s performance

What should you look for while buying soccer cleats?
That’s the first question we ask ourselves before buying a soccer shoes. Every soccer shoes built differently, for the customer to choose which one the most comfortable.

The shoes must fulfill protection from injury and the freedom of movement to achieve best performance. Professional players use special and custom soccer shoes specially designed for them. They designed their own style, shape, and cut which result into high technology shoes. Of course, they’re expensive as hell.

Besides the price, you want to make sure they are comfortable.
But how would you know if they give you enough comfort, before you play in them at least few times?

First thing to consider, manufacturer. Adidas has wider cleats than Nike, therefore if you do have a wide feet, Adidas would be a good option.

Next, the material.
Upper portion of every soccer shoe is made out of either true or synthetic leather. Which is better? True leather, of course.
For everyone that really into soccer, True leather gives you an uncompromising feel of the ball. It molds to your feet producing great comfort. It also lasts longer than synthetic materials. And it is healthier for your feet. Synthetic materials don’t provide air circulation system for the feet, which will cause blister.
However, they are not really reliable for extreme circumstances like: very hard and dry fields (turf shoes will be the ultimate choice here) or very soft and wet surface (screw-ins).
And last but not least, the studs. Soccer shoes with molded round studs (traditional) are more universal. But, there are not really reliable for extreme conditions, for instance very hard surface. The X-Grip is designed for specific purpose. We will have to choose between hard, firm, or soft.

To enclose, although performance rely in the player, but the shoes that give comfort, nice control, and nice grip will boost the player’s performance. For the shoes will never be parted with the feet in soccer.
