Because football is a running game full of quick stops, starts and turns, it's very important to have a good sturdy pair of shoes. You need to wear the proper footwear for the weather conditions during the game, plus for the type of turf. If you wear the wrong shoes and get your foot caught in the turf it can often cause an injury, so make sure your shoes give you the proper support and traction for the conditions. On natural grass it's a good idea to wear cleats or spiked shoes. These are short, hard plastic studs that screw into the bottom of the soles. Some shoes come with the studs already molded into them; however the removable ones let you change your studs during a game if the conditions change. Make sure your shoes are comfortable and fit properly, so your feet don't blister. Shoes come in various sizes, and materials.
