Soccer Cleats Frequently Asked Questions

Are football cleats and soccer cleats the same?

American football cleats and soccer cleats are not the same. There are key differences in the way the cleats are designed and manufactured based on the needs of each sport. Football cleats are built with heavy-duty outsoles to offer added protection and durability They also have a stud positioned at the toe to help increase push-off and traction in a variety of turf and weather conditions. Soccer cleats are more focused on speed, quick lateral movements and ball-handling so they are designed without a midsole to reduce weight. While soccer cleats are generally low cut, football cleats are made in low, medium and high-top styles. Cleats for football have thicker outsoles and a stud near the big toe for traction when you push off from a static position. Soccer cleats don’t include a midsole, so players can maximize their speed and ball-handling maneuvers. Football cleats do have midsoles to provide much-needed stability and comfort.

Are metal cleats allowed in soccer?

Metal soccer cleats are often allowed at youth, high school, and professional levels of soccer but are subject to local and league regulations. NCAA rule 4.1.17 states that “soccer shoes are typically allowed to contain aluminum, leather, rubber, nylon, plastic cleats, studs, or bars as long as they are not considered dangerous to other players.” The referee has the final decision on whether to allow metal soccer cleats to be used in any match.

Are adidas soccer cleats true to size?

adidas soccer cleats are designed to fit true-to-size, but many players prefer to have a slightly smaller size to provide additional stability, foot lockdown and a more natural touch & feel with the ball. A properly fitting soccer cleat should fit snuggly around your foot to reduce heel movement while still allowing for up to a ¼ inch of space between the toe and top of the shoe.
