Turf Cleats Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between turf cleats and grass cleats?

The two are made for playing soccer on different kinds of fields. Turf cleats have rubber nubs on the outsole that provide traction without damaging the playing surface. Cleats for playing on grass have metal studs that dig into the ground. (Firm ground, or FG, cleats are designed for natural grass fields, and artificial grass, or AG, cleats are better suited for artificial grass.) Turf cleats work best on synthetic turf, where their rubber nubs help prevent slipping without tearing up the field. On grass, cleats with metal studs are built to sink into the earth for traction and stability. Firm ground (FG) cleats are ideal for natural grass fields, with studs spaced to avoid clumping up mud, while artificial grass (AG) cleats feature shorter studs for stability on harder surfaces.

What is the point of turf cleats?

Turf cleats are specifically designed to keep players from damaging turf soccer fields. Turf is made up of short-bladed, shallow and carpet-like grass that can feel hot and abrasive, especially during long games or practice sessions. Instead of cleats that penetrate the ground, turf cleats use a pattern of evenly spaced rubber studs that sit on top of the turf, giving you more grip and control and preventing the turf from being torn up or worn down. Extra cushioning built into turf cleats adds comfort, absorbing some of the impact from the hard surface. Turf cleats blend grip, comfort and durability, making them a smart choice for anyone who spends time on artificial fields.
