At last! - your complete guide to indoor soccer shoes

To get the most enjoyment out of the game and to make the most of your talent and skill you must choose the right footwear!

For playing football indoors (or if you are playing on an artificial surface) you need soccer shoes that are designed for the job and that won't let you down.

This web site is dedicated entirely to the subject of indoor and hard court soccer shoes and will help you to check out the different boots and cleats on offer from all the various manufacturers (yes, I know I'm sad - but you know it makes sense!).

This web site is also a jargon-free zone - and that will help you to cut through the technical fog when making your choice. So prepare to be amazed and to discover the profound meaning and significance of terms such as "cambrelle" and "EVA foam" - terms that manufacturers use to try to seduce you into giving away your hard-earned, precious cash!

On the face of it indoor shoes are not as complicated as outdoor shoes. With outdoor shoes cleat/stud patterns and length play an important part depending on the conditions of the soccer field you are playing on. However when you play indoors this does not seem to be the case. For example the design of the sole does not seem especially crucial.

Clearly an important feature will be the fit of the shoe and the comfort of the shoe on one’s foot. There are many players who use a wide variety of shoes and none of them seem to have any preference for one design or the other: what matters is whether the shoe is a good fit and comfortable.

Poor quality shoes - or shoes not designed for football - will wear out extremely fast as they are not designed for the constant starting and stopping associated with making quick cuts on a fast indoor surface.

It makes sense to try on several different brands of shoe in order to get one that conforms to the shape of your foot. It's good to get a tight fit so that your foot does not slide at all when making cuts and quick stops.

Then there's the look - which is really up to individual taste!
