How to Choose Men's Soccer Cleats

Your cleat choice can have a critical impact on your game. Keep these factors in mind when shopping men's outdoor soccer cleats:

• Many soccer cleats denoted as "FG," or firm ground, will work well for outdoor play.
• Your soccer cleats should be lightweight and dynamic in fit. Low-profile, minimal constructions promote speed on the field.
• Soccer cleats are designed to fit more snugly than traditional athletic shoes. This low-profile fit helps provide better "feel" of the ball, which in turn helps with ball handling. When looking for the correct size, keep in mind that you'll be wearing thick soccer socks.
• Many soccer cleats have a texturized upper to help players grip the ball.
• An internal sock liner helps wick away perspiration to keep you dry and comfortable. Perforations in the upper also allow for better breathability.
• When it comes to cleat studs, always consult your local league for rules and standards. Soccer cleats come with a variety of cleat materials and configurations.

Men's Soccer Cleats Buying Guide

The right men's soccer cleats for you depend on how and where you play.

Soccer Cleat Ankle Height

Low Soccer Cleats offer less protection than mid-profile cleats, but offer a higher range of motion and more flexibility.

Mid-Profile Soccer Cleats have added protection in the ankle area, which can help reduce the chances of a sprain but they can limit flexibility. Pro Tip: This type of cleat can offer extra protection for defensive players.

Types of Men's Soccer Cleats

Firm Ground Soccer Cleats are designed for play on grass fields and provide extra traction on firm, dry playing surfaces.

Turf & Artificial Grass Soccer Cleats are designed for use on artificial ground or turf and usually have highly-concentrated conical studs.

Indoor Soccer Shoes typically have outsoles without cleats and are designed to provide traction on indoor, glossy soccer courts.

Soft Ground Soccer Cleats are designed to provide traction on muddy or soft fields and tend to have longer studs.

Hard Ground & Multiground Soccer Cleats are a low profile shoe with conical studs that are designed to perform on hard surfaces or patchy fields.

Detachable vs. Molded Soccer Cleats

Molded cleats are permanently attached to the shoe while detachable cleats are replaceable and may offer more versatility. Molded soccer cleats are a popular option for beginners, while some experienced players prefer detachable cleats.

Men's Soccer Cleat Components

Uppers are the soft, top portion of the cleat. Soccer cleat uppers should be lightweight and provide a great feel for the ball.

The Outsole is the bottom of the cleat which provides protection, structure and traction.

The Midsole is the inner portion of the cleat which offers shock absorption and cushioning.
