Astro boots, are used for playing on astro turfs and hard grass because they give you better grip than, in muddy grass. Normal football boots are generally metal studs which is used for muddy wet grass because they did into the ground and supply you with much better grip than astros would. But you can get football boots with molded plastic studs which can be used for astro turf as well as grass but I don't like using my moulds of astro because it makes you higher off the ground and means it is harder to kick the ball because of the studs :)
They were studded shoes to support them when running on the grass. This gives them a better grip. SO they were studs (football boots)
The grooves on the soles of shoes and boots are known as the treads. Running shoes may have spikes for grip on grass running tracks. Football boots have studs, also for grip on an often slippery, grass football pitch.
So you can choose the right boots and the studs.
Yes they do it helps them keep there balance I should know I am a football player
Yes. If you wear metal studs on an icy concrete surface, you will slip all over the place. If you wear rubber studs, they will grip easier. So therefore, rubber studs are better.
For grip. When boots were first worn they were working boots and the studs were flat. Protruding studs made of wood were created and these were nailed into the shoe sole. These later were made of rubber moulding and later alluminium screw in versions. Studs were and are used to provide grip in grass and muddy conditions thus allowing plays greater maneuverability
Rugby boots need studs in order to offer the player grip on grass and mud, which can be slippy.
Can you change the metal spikes to plastic ones on puma soccer boots
increase friction
no they do not but the studs on the bottom of the boot help you keep your feet
If you speak of football as in the UK soccer and rugby the studs are there to give the player grip on grass and mud covered surfaces. In rugby they are important from the perspective of grip to push as in mauls, rucks and scums.
