Football Cleats (Studs)
One of the most important parts of the football game is the football shoes that all the players wear. These football shoes are known as Soccer cleats. Let us have a detailed study of the cleats. These cleats are mainly divided into four parts
- Upper this is the top covering of the shoe, which attaches to the sole.
- The insole is the inner area where the foot rests.
- The outsole is the outer area where studs or spikes are present.
- The Heel counter is the back area of the shoe and gives support to the heels and spikes.
So, this is the structure of the cleats. While selecting cleats we should keep certain things in mind. The first thing to keep in mind is the material of the upper. The real leather material cleats may be costly but give a perfect fit. Also, you should keep in mind that the cleats should fit snugly into the foot. They should not be too loose or too tight. The real leather cleats also give a good feel of the ball. If the cleats are too loose or too tight a person may end up injuring his foot.
For young players, the types of studs also matter a lot. For beginners usually cleats with molded studs are preferred as the studs are non-detachable. Detachable studs are for more experienced players.
