yes because soccer cleats are used for speed just like football shoes
Pretty much any outdoor field sport requires cleats (there are different types for each sport, I think). This includes soccer, football, field hockey, boys and girls lacrosse, softball, baseball, and rugby (there are probably more I can't think of).
no
No but American football cleats can be used for lacrosse
Football cleats are heavier and more supportive, whereas baseball cleats are lighter. Baseball cleats can use metal spikes, while those are not used for football cleats. Studs on baseball cleats tend to have the same length, while for football cleats, the length varies. :D your welcome !
A lacrosse shoe is very similar to a football cleat, but has a different cleat shape to promote speed. They are often lighter than other types of cleats.
Cleats, with rubber not metal spikes.
Before shoes with cleats were popular, players wore some type of non-cleat running shoes. Some present-day players do not use cleats at all.
some use it for support on their ankles
You can but it might not give you enough ankle support :)
No in many instances you will wind up with turf toe. Its an epidemic in Texas. Reebok has teamed up with Brine to fund a turf toe research facility. I highly advise you buy football cleats for football and save your lacrosse cleats for lacrosse.
No but some do it's best to use soft spikes.
