Why are Soccer Cleats Important to Play Soccer?
From as far as i can Remember i have always own at least a pair of Soccer Cleats. Originally Soccer cleats were designed to get a better grip on the grass fields and to be able to kick the ball harder, however with so many different types of fields, including artificial grass, turf, indoor and such we are almost force to own different type of soccer shoes in order to play in each of these types of fields.
Can you play soccer with regular sneakers? sure you can, in fact you can play barefooted if you want. However i don't recommend it. Playing with sneakers in a grass field can lead to a lot of slipping and frustration not to mention a higher risk of injury. Having the wrong type of soccer shoes can also lead to frustration and injuries. So how can you pick the right type of cleats? Are you a midfielder? Forward? play in only grass fields or a combination of fields?
Brands like Nike, Adidas, Puma and others offer a large amount of soccer boots to choose from that can assist you in deciding the right type for you. Personally i usually have 2-3 different pairs because i play in all types of soccer fields, and after many injuries i have found that using the right type is the way to go. You don't have to spend 100's of dollars for each pair you buy, i find enjoyment in looking for a bargain such as in amazon, or other sites. Just be sure you are not buying used soccer cleats as they have already formed around the previous owner's foot.
If you rely a lot on speed, maybe you are a forward? a lightweight pair of cleats like the Puma King SL , might be just what you need. If you are a Midfielder and the Puma King Finale is a great option as well as the Puma King XL as they give you more cushion for the constant running that these positions require. At the end, you can find similar cleats from just about every major brand, it simply comes down to how they feel and what type of field of fields you will be playing on.
As always is important to wear Soccer Cleats so that you may enjoy the sport to the fullest. No matter what brand you choose, always look for the one that fits you and the field you play on, not what it looks like.
