Are you not very informed about the type of land on which you will have to play? Would you like to know the strengths and weaknesses of each surface, in order to choose the most suitable shoes? Take a look at the Guide to types of football land Below: you will find the answers that are right for you and that will allow you to better face the match.

Football land can be divided into Seven great categories, each with precise characteristics of hardness and adherence. To each ground corresponds A precise type of football shoe, even if in some cases some shoes prove to be quite multipurpose that can be used on multiple land. So let's see in detail the characteristics of each surface.

Compact background natural soils (FG):

THE Compact background natural land (Firm Grounds) They are among the most popular in the panorama of playing fields.

In football clubs they are often used as fields where to play the championship or tournament match, therefore as an official race field.

The compact bottom natural field it is not usually particularly slippery. At the same time it can be hard enough, also depending on the season in which you play above, towards the athlete's feet. 

The ideal shoes for playing on this type of soil are Shoes with sole FG. Thanks to the edges in PU or Rubber, These shoes offer a suitable grip and do not go to solicit and stress the sole of the foot excessively.

Soft artificial land (AG): 

Artificial land with soft synthetic bottom (Artificial Grounds) They represent a relative novelty in the world of football fields.

In this category, in fact, i Third synthetic land (rubber granules) And fourth generation (rubber and sand granules).

These two types are among the most common among the sports centers or among football clubs, which often use them for training, Also because in the winter season they absorb less water than the natural grass fields and are generally more resistant. 

The surface of these fields And generally Abrasive, discreetly hard and with a lot of grip. Furthermore, With high temperatures it can warm up a lot, giving a feeling of very strong heat to the foot. 

The ideal shoes for playing on a terrain of this type are those with AG sole, even if lately The big brands are proposing models with FG/AG sole, Ideal on soils of this type and adaptable on natural grass.

Alternatively, if the height of the synthetic is fairly high, shoes with shoes can be used FG sole (a round or triangular tachet, never lamellar), while if it is low and consumed they can be used Shoes with TF sole, Ideal for not stressing the foot too much.

Hard natural land (HG):  

Hard natural land (Hard Grounds) group those lands that present A particularly rigid and hard bottom.

Usually, this fund is in Battuta, sand or gravel.

It therefore becomes essential to have optimal shoes for foot comfort And the univocal dispersion of the pressure.

In this sense, the best solution is certainly represented by Shoes with TF sole.

An alternative solution, to be used only if the field is wet, can be represented by Shoes with sole Ag.

Soft natural soils (SG):

A Soft natural soil (Soft Grounds) It is the typical field that is faced in autumn or winter.

It is particularly made Heavy, wet and muddy from rain and weather.

Often accompanies with a high and slippery herb, that favors instability and poor adherence.

Not infrequently, presents Pozzanghere and water areas which make the ball control even more difficult.

In these cases it is good to have SG or SG Pro shoes.

These, thanks to their aluminum torts, guarantee a Optimal grip even in extreme conditions.

Hard artificial land (TF):

Hard artificial land (Turf Grounds) are the classics fields from five-a-side football second generation.

On this surface to theartificial grass (often in propylene) the siliceous sand.

They are particularly fields hard, where you need to have one Scarpa that guarantees acceleration and comfort.

In addition to this, they are particularly abrasive surfaces, which intensely consume sole and upper of the shoe.

That's why it is necessary to equip yourself with Shoes with TF sole, ideal not to stress the foot and resist abrasion of the sand.

Indoor or Futsal land (in):

Indoor/Futsal (Indoor Grounds) land include those game surfaces that are approved for the practice of 5 -a -side football.

The materials with which these surfaces are made are usually parquet, pvc or rubber.

These are surfaces where it is necessary maintain good grip And to do this it is optimal Use shoes with specific sole from Futsal. 

Made of rubber, these shoes are conceived for maintain optimal stability and also do not leave signs on the surface, quality required by almost all fields.

Cement land (ST):

Cement soils (Street Grounds) They are a rather particular category in the panorama of playing surfaces.

They are in fact often intended for freestyle or street soccer practice, which have very different characteristics from the normal football match or five-a-side football.

The surfaces for this practice are in concrete or asphalt And they are particularly hard: This is why to deal with them better it is necessary to use a Street Soccer shoe, optimal especially in the cushioning phase.
