Soccer is called football in most countries as most of the play involves your feet, so it's essential you have the proper footwear to play properly. Soccer is played in all weather conditions and on any surface you could imagine, including sand, dirt, grass, concrete, wood, and artificial turf. When buying a pair of soccer boots, cleats or shoes, you should take into consideration the surface you will be playing on, as it will make a difference in the footwear you will need. Make sure the shoes have excellent traction and support. They should be strong and durable, but also lightweight, flexible and water resistant. For outside play, boots with molded or removable studs are the best bet. Make sure the shoes fit properly as you will be running and kicking in them constantly. Shoes come in various materials, styles, sizes and colors.
