Frequently Asked Questions
How do you choose the right football boot for your playing surface?
The type of ground you will be playing on can influence the choice of football boot. If you’re playing on natural grass, metal studs cleats will be best for you.

What kind of goalkeeper gloves provides the best grip and protection?
