SOME OF OUR SHOES
SHOE SIZES VARY FROM BRAND TO BRAND
OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK
Shoe prices start at $19.99.
1 Cleat selection is very important. Serious players should have training shoes and game shoes.
Practice shoes: Hard or firm grounds, especially with an uneven surface, requires a very short cleat: maximum
length of 1/4". Turf shoes work best on a dry grassy surface. Most overuse injuries happen at practice.
Game shoes. Game day: field surface will determine proper cleat choice. Long grass or wet fields will require
a longer cleat. Short grass with a dry surface will require a standard cleated shoe: 11 to 14 cleats
2 All brands have very good models for under $100. Despite the hyper marketing of soccer shoes, you don't need to
spend a fortune.

A word of caution. A trend where players are purchasing shoes based on looks and marketing is dangerous and will
lead to expensive injuries.

Shoe Lifespan. Typically a male player of about 80 to 100lbs and in his shoes 3 days a week. 3 months.
Regardless of price or quality. Females: shoes last about 4 to 5 months.
During rainy season: Never wear a wet shoe 2 days in a row. Let them dry out. Failure to do so
will limit their life span to 6 weeks "Yikes"

Dangers of ordering on line.
Shoe sizes vary from brand to brand and model batches will vary from one shipment to another. Shipping costs will
offset any online price savings. Buy local from your favorite shoe store.

If you need to add any type of shoe inserts,insoles,heel cups or custom orthodics you're probabably wearing the wrong
shoe,both on and off the field.

If a player is using an ankle brace,cleated shoes should never be worn for practice. Switch to a 64 cleated shoe to
alleviate joint stress. Failure to switch will create severe arthritic issues later in life

Where is logic when players and parents are willing to spend $150 for a pair of extra light shoes, when
their shorts are down to their knees and jersey sleeves to the elbows. Remember all that extra fabric will
add an extra 1/4 lb of sweat by half time.
If players are trying to increase their quickness and nimbleness at game time with weight savings, then
they should train with heavier equipment so their muscles work harder.

If you want to save money on shoes, always pay cash. If you put it on your credit card and carry a
balance, that shoe will double in price because of the componded effect of interest charges.
When shoes only last a season (3 months), they can become an expensive proposition.

Food for thought
With shoes in the $175 to $300 price range. It's absurd. That's more money than most families
earn in a month in third world countries. Yet the majority of professional players are coming from
these countries growing playing barefoot or with $10 shoes at best. We still have not produced
world class field players,despite the notion of expensive equipment translates into better technique
and therefore better players. Money is better spent on specialised coaching.
