Understanding Boot Studs
Different stud patterns are designed for different surfaces. Using the wrong studs increases injury risk and wears out your boots faster.
FG (Firm Ground)
Natural grass
Longer bladed or conical studs for grip on natural turf
AG (Artificial Ground)
3G / 4G turf
Shorter, more numerous studs for synthetic surfaces
SG (Soft Ground)
Wet, muddy grass
Metal studs for maximum penetration in soft conditions
MG / TF (Multi/Turf)
Hard courts & cages
Rubber studs for hard artificial surfaces
Frequently Asked Questions
Football boots should feel snug but not painful. Your toes should lightly touch the end when standing, with about 5-10mm of space. The boot should wrap your foot without pinching. If you feel numbness or sharp pressure points, the boot is too narrow or the wrong shape for your foot.
It's not recommended. FG studs are longer and can grip too aggressively on artificial turf, increasing rotational stress on your knees. Many manufacturers void warranties for FG boots used on AG. For occasional AG use, MG (multi-ground) boots are a safer compromise.
Absolutely not. SG boots have long metal studs designed for wet, muddy natural grass. On artificial turf, they create extreme lock-in risk — even worse than FG boots. This is one of the highest-risk combinations for knee injuries. Use AG or TF boots on artificial surfaces.
Leather boots can stretch slightly (up to half a size) with wear. Modern synthetic and knit uppers soften and conform but don't actually stretch wider. If a synthetic boot feels tight in the shop, it will likely stay that way. Don't size up to compensate — you'll lose heel lockdown.
AG (Artificial Ground) boots have short rubber studs designed for 3G/4G synthetic turf. TF (Turf/Multi-Ground) boots have even smaller rubber nubs for harder surfaces like cages and older artificial pitches. AG provides more grip; TF is more versatile but less aggressive.
No. Sizing up creates excess length, which causes your foot to slide forward and lose heel lockdown. Instead, look for boots with naturally wider toe boxes or wide-fit options. The solution to a width problem is a different shape, not a bigger size.
Stand on paper wearing football socks. Mark the back of your heel and the tip of your longest toe. Measure the distance in centimetres — this is your JP size. Measure both feet and use the longer measurement. Do this at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen.
