Firm Ground cleats have a series of non-removable studs that are either bladed or conical in shape. Firm Ground cleats should never be used on Turf because the hard TPU sole plate and longer studs can cause injury to your feet. Unisex Youth. Very similar to FG boots, but they feature a mix of circular and bladed studs to create a unique grip that works great for those who often switch between fields.
AG boots are becoming harder to come by as brands make more and more MG boots. The only difference is that AG boots only have circular studs, while MG boots have a mixture of circular and bladed studs. Soft Ground boots are for use on soft, muddy natural grass fields. Here in Canada, SG boots are most often used for Rugby. Unisex Rugby. Turf boots are for use on thin, carpet-like turf fields. These are also an option to wear FG and AG fields. There are more studs on a turf shoe than on any other soccer shoe.
The extra studs eliminate pressure on individual studs, and the sole plate is made from rubber and not hard TPU, like all the other cleats. Another reason why FG soccer cleats are the most purchased around the world is because of the possibility they have to be used in multiple surfaces. If you buy these cleats, you will be able to use them with no problem on firm ground, soft ground, and in some cases, on artificial grass.
However, you should be very careful if you decide to use these boots on artificial grass, as this is a totally different surface from FG , and not all FG cleats will be safe to use on this surface. As you can see in the picture, a soft ground playing surface is a natural grass pitch that has a cushioned, wet base, in which soccer cleats will penetrate a lot more than in firm ground.
Soft ground fields are usually where professional soccer players play at. They are typically well cared, fertilized, watered, and mowed. When installed, they are given a good base of sand and gravel that provides that cushioned, professional feel. However, soft ground fields are not exclusively professional pitches.
We can also qualify as a soft ground surface muddy soccer fields, that are excessively watered as a result of the rain. Too much water makes the ground too soft, which makes us require a more aggressive outsole that will penetrate the surface deeper to give us the traction we need.
It is only in these cases when we will need a pair of Soft Ground or SG soccer cleats. SG outsoles are made of a mix between plastic studs and screwed-in metal studs that you can remove to change for other studs with different shapes and sizes.
In contrast to FG cleats, this an outsole made to be used only in soft ground surfaces and can be dangerous to use in another surface as you run the risk of getting a serious injury. A common problem when we play on soft ground playing surfaces is that the mud of the surface sticks into our soleplate. After some time playing, it accumulates so much that makes the soccer cleat considerably heavier, totally ruining the playing experience.
If you are completely sure you need a pair of SG boot, I would recommend you buy a pair of Nike SG cleats that offer this technology like the ones in the picture.
FG cleats are the best way to get the most out of your money if you are playing on multiple playing surfaces. The difference comes when we compare weight. Normally, SG boots will be slightly heavier than FG soccer cleats because the outsole has metal studs and a different constitution. However, the difference in weight is not significant at all, and will be hard to be noticed on wearing the cleats.
One of the hardest things in soccer is the process of choosing soccer cleats. If so, to what degree. Thank you. Apr 3, Club: Arsenal FC. As long as the studs penetrate the ground nicely it's all good. Jul 23, Club: IF Brommapojkarna. I played on turf with sg but i am very light so i get no stud pressure and it was with 8 stud plate. Shinobu Member. I am playing on turf almost all the time,and im buying only SG cleats i know it's weird but i like it,there's only one problem that the studs is unscrewing all the time and you need to find them after game or training on the pitch.
So basically its okay to play with SG on Artificial Grass,i know a lot people doing it. Feb 15, Club: Chicago Fire. Thanks for the replies guys.
