What kind of football shoes should I choose?

1-FG outsole: The spikes are relatively long and evenly distributed. This type of spike is very suitable for natural grass and high-quality artificial grass, and is the only choice for today's professional football players. Personally, if you play on an artificial grass field of average quality and your knees and ankles are not strong enough, you'd better give up buying football shoes with this type of spikes, which is good for your ankles and knees.

2-AG outsole: The spikes are short and numerous, and are densely distributed. It is the best choice for playing on artificial turf and is suitable for most artificial turfs. AG spikes are also the favorite outsole of Chinese amateur football players and have a large market in China. If the field you play football on is a general artificial turf field, then choose AG, you won’t go wrong! (It is worth noting that the so-called AG outsole launched by some merchants is actually not pure AG spikes, because this type of spikes is very long and there are few of them, so it cannot be regarded as pure AG spikes, such as Puma Evo Touch Pro AG, and Nike’s new AG spikes-AG Pro. Friends who have purchased these two types of outsole football shoes need to be careful when playing on general quality artificial turf!)

3-HG outsole: In theory, HG outsole is not a mainstream outsole. It is a unique outsole in Japan. It looks like FG outsole, but the nails are thicker than FG. It is usually made of rubber and is very wear-resistant. This outsole is used for hard natural grass and medium-quality artificial grass, and is even suitable for dirt fields. Because there are many slag fields in Japan, in order to encourage people to participate in the sport of football, Japanese football shoe merchants have specially launched HG outsole. It is worth noting that Mizuno's so-called MD spikes are also regarded as HG spikes.

4-TF outsole: commonly known as broken spikes, specially used to deal with inferior artificial turf. The characteristic is that the spikes are very short, broken, and distributed all over the sole. This outsole is the most suitable for dealing with slag grass, carpet grass, and artificial turf courts without rubber particles. It can also be used on snowy fields. In the 2010 Asian Champions League, Changchun Yatai played on a snowy field. Yatai players wore TF football shoes and launched a massacre against Persipura. Therefore, TF football shoes are also called the panacea of ​​football shoes.

What to look out for when buying soccer shoes

1. First of all, when buying football shoes, the football shoes must not be too big, because if the shoes are too big, it will affect your running and kicking parts, the starting and running speed will be affected, and it will also make you have a wrong understanding of your kicking part.

2. If the football shoes you buy fit your feet perfectly, your running speed will increase. However, your feet do not stay still in the shoes when you play football. As you turn or stop suddenly, your feet will move back and forth, left and right in the shoes. Therefore, if you choose football shoes that fit your feet too well, you will find that such shoes are a little small when you play football. When you turn or stop suddenly, the football shoes will hit your feet, which may easily squeeze your big toenail.

3. Therefore, when you buy football shoes, check the distance between your toes and the top of the shoe after putting them on. If this distance is about 1 cm, it is more appropriate. This is not only good for your feet, but also allows you to play at your normal level when playing football.

What to do if your football shoes rub your heels

It is very common for football shoes to rub the heels, and the heels are also the most easily rubbed place. We can use the following methods to solve it:

No.1 For genuine leather sneakers, for the sake of appearance and easy cleaning in the future, it is better to apply white wine to the areas where your feet are rubbed. If the problem is more serious, you can directly soak the heels in it.

No.2 The effect of artificial materials is not obvious. At this time, we can use the legendary shoe horn to prop up the shoes and stuff the shoes with waste paper until they can no longer fit. The next day, the paper ball will become loose due to pressure and moisture, so continue to stuff it until it can no longer fit. Occasionally expose it to the sun, and it will be fine in about a week.

No.3 shoe stretcher, used to rub the heels of soccer shoes. Adjust the shoe stretcher to a larger size and stretch the shoe until it is deformed. After one night, remove the shoe stretcher and repeat this process. Of course, shoes are easy to lose shape. The last resort is to ask a shoemaker to knock them for you, especially for shoes with too narrow external TPU. This is more effective and beautiful than anything else.

No.4 Heel pads. For all those who have heel rubbing due to soccer shoes, silicone ones are obviously better than cloth ones in terms of fit, but the actual effect can only be described as average.
