Let's do it?
Nike
Founded in the 60's, Nike is, since then, one of the main brands worldwide when it comes to manufacturing and selling football boots.
Besides the greatness that the brand name occupies in the market, there are several other features that distinguish it and make it a unique and incomparable brand. Proof of this is the focus on always being one step ahead in terms of design and technology and the innovation with which it presents itself in the sports market.
In this way, the brand has been achieving one of its main goals in relation to football boots: improving performance and offering support and protection to players of all levels and positions.
To do so, it offers models for different types of terrain: firm ground, soft ground and synthetic surfaces.
So, being a brand closely associated with performance, speed, innovation and technology, one of Nike's most beloved lines, the Mercurial line, counts Cristiano Ronaldo as its representative.
It's not surprising that one of the most loved lines of all time is represented by the best in the world, is it?
Adidas
Another reference brand when it comes to football boots is undoubtedly Adidas.
Founded in 1924, Adidas presents itself in the sports footwear market as one of the main leaders worldwide. Besides its long history, the brand also stands out by offering football boots that combine style, durability and performance.
Thus, Adidas football boots are a classic in the world of football and the number one choice of both professional players and players who take football as a hobby.
Moreover, they are all specifically designed for different types of surfaces, such as firm ground, soft ground, and synthetic turf.
Still, and according to the characteristics that each player seeks, we can divide Adidas football boots into different models, such as the Adidas Predator and the Adidas X, ideal for players who are looking for a modern and high-performance football boot.
Besides, the brand also has models designed for specific positions, such as the Adidas X Ghosted boots, suitable for fast players, and Adidas Copa Sense, for midfielders.
Puma
Finally, among the 3 brands that dominate the football boots world, we have Puma.
Founded in 1948 by Rudolf Dassler, brother of Adolf Dassler, founder of Adidas, Puma is currently one of the strongest brands worldwide when it comes to manufacturing and selling sports footwear.
Currently, the brand is known for its innovative designs and collaborations with top players, as is the case of the brand's current representative, the well-known Neymar Jr.
Besides, Puma football boots are the number one choice of players of all levels for their durability and performance on the pitch.
How to choose the right football boots?
Now that you know a little bit more about the 3 main football boots brands, we will leave you 2 points that you have to keep in mind when choosing your boots. Check it out!
1. The sole
First of all, you have to consider the kind of ground you play on, so that you can choose a sole that guarantees you a good traction on the pitch.
So, it is important that you know what kind of ground each stud is suitable for.
Firm Ground (FG) football boots
Suitable for natural grass, the FG are the most common choice among professional players.
Thus, their main characteristic is the sole with a large number of studs, usually rubber, that make it easier to support the playing field.
Artificial Grass (AG) football boots
If you play on synthetic turf, AG are the right choice for you.
Although recently developed as a result of the increasing implementation of artificial grass in professional football, AG have studs added to the sole to make it easier to grip the artificial turf whilst allowing the player to rotate without the sole getting stuck.
In addition, the greater number of studs also makes for less wear and tear on synthetic turf, which is more abrasive than natural grass.
Soft Ground (SG) football boots
Indicated for soft natural ground, the SG boots count on few studs, from 6 to 8. This is because they try to have most of the weight on each one of those support points.
This way, the studs fully penetrate the ground, which provides maximum traction when the surface is soft.
Hard Ground (HG) football boots
When it comes to abrasive synthetic ground or dirt, HG boots are the right choice. This is because HG soles are made of high-density synthetic materials in order to prevent wear and tear.
However, as with other soles, HG studs can be conical or laminated, depending on the make and model.
2. Technical Characteristics
Just like the choice of sole should be made according to the type of terrain, the choice of your boots should also be made according to your characteristics.
This way, you should know the type of game you are going to play and identify which is the most important characteristic for you on the field.
Laces
In this sense, you should decide if you want to have the option to adjust the boot to your foot your way, or if you prefer that the boot adjusts itself to your foot automatically, in the case of the boots without laces, thanks to the elastic.
Shaft
Another important point is the shaft.
You can opt for the classic cut with a low shaft that leaves the ankle area free, or if you prefer a sock-like construction that holds the boot more on your foot, you can opt for a high shaft that covers the ankle.
Weight
If speed is your strong point, then you have to consider the weight of the boots, always giving priority to light materials.
Upper
On the other hand, if you are good at shooting at the goal, you should pay special attention to the hardness of the upper. This is because when you kick with more strength you need the boot's upper to be more resistant in order to protect your foot.
