Men's Soccer Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

Are soccer shoes the same as cleats?

The terms "soccer shoes" and "cleats" are sometimes used interchangeably, but there are some key differences. "Cleats" typically refers to soccer shoes with external studs on the soles for improved traction on natural grass surfaces. "Soccer shoes" is a more general term encompassing all footwear designed for soccer. It could include indoor soccer shoes, turf shoes and outdoor soccer cleats. A men's soccer shoe is probably made for playing on artificial turf fields or on indoor soccer courts with flat, non-abrasive surfaces. Cleats would not only be unnecessary on these surfaces but could actually damage them.

Is there a difference between men's and women's soccer shoes?

There can be some differences between a men's soccer shoe and one for women, although the distinctions can be subtle and many soccer shoes are now unisex. Women's-specific soccer shoes are designed with a slightly different anatomical fit because women's feet tend to have a narrower heel and more pronounced arch compared to men's feet. Sometimes, women's cleats might have a slightly different stud configuration. The most important factor is finding a good fit. Don't be afraid to try on both men's and women's shoes to see which pair feels most comfortable and supportive for you.

Are football cleats OK for soccer?

Don't wear football cleats for soccer. They have deeper, sharper studs than soccer cleats for men. These dig into the ground more aggressively and can increase the risk of injuries for both the wearer and other players during slides or tackles. Football cleats typically offer more ankle support than soccer cleats. This can help protect the ankles during football tackles, but in soccer it can also restrict the mobility needed for fast footwork and sharp turns. Leagues and tournaments may have specific rules against wearing football cleats in soccer games, so check the rules of your league before playing.
