How to Choose Soccer Shoes

By Sammy Winarto

Soccer shoes are one of the main equipment of soccer sport. They makes you run on grass field or kick the ball easier. They also gives protection to your feet from injuries.

There are many soccer apparel companies whose provide soccer shoes, such as Adidas, Lotto, Nike, Puma and Reebok. But if you are wrong in choosing them, you might not be able to get the best support from them during your soccer match. You cannot play your best, or worse, you will get injured. So, you should choose carefully. Here are several tips to choose your best soccer shoes.
  1. Comfort is the most important factor in choosing soccer shoes. Wear them on your feet. And do some moves like walking, running, passing, and shooting if it is possible. Or just move your ankles to various directions. Make sure you are not feeling hurt on your feet or ankles when you do the moves wearing them.
  2. Choose the right size. Don’t wear to loose or too tight soccer shoes. Try all possible sizes. If you usually wear size number 7, you should also try at least size number 6 and size number 8. Don’t forget to count the thickness of your soccer socks. Make sure they fit well on your feet.
  3. Number of spikes. If you are playing on a thick grass field, you may choose soccer shoes with less number spikes (e.g. six spikes). But if you are playing on a hard field with less grass or ground field, it will be better if you wear soccer shoes with more spikes (e.g. ten or twelve spikes).
  4. Flexibility. Bend the soccer shoes to know how flexible they are. But be careful, don’t bend them to hard. Or you will break them and you will have to pay for it....
  5. Check the sewing. Pull all the sewing to make sure they are strong enough and not break up easily.
  6. Easy to wash or clean. Ask the store assistant how to clean those soccer shoes
  7. Choose your favorite color. Wearing soccer shoes with your favorite color makes you more confident and happy...
  8. The last, make sure your money is enough to buy those shoes.
