Frequently Asked Questions

What are soft ground football boots?

SG boots are made for wet or muddy grass pitches. They use longer studs—usually metal or mixed material—to dig into soft ground and reduce slipping. They're not designed for firm or artificial surfaces.

Can you wear soft-ground boots on dry grass?

Not advised. The longer studs won’t grip properly on dry ground and can feel unstable. You’ll also put more pressure on your feet. Firm ground boots are better suited for dry natural surfaces.

Can I use soft ground football boots on artificial turf?

No. SG studs can damage turf and increase the risk of slipping or injury. Use AG boots for 3G pitches or Astro trainers for older, sand-based surfaces.

Do pro footballers use soft ground boots?

Yes, when conditions call for them. On muddy or waterlogged pitches, pros switch to SG boots for better footing. Choice always depends on the surface.

How do you clean soft ground boots?

Rinse off mud with water and a soft brush after each use. Let them dry naturally—avoid heaters or direct sun. Keep the studs clean and check them regularly for wear.

How do you choose the right stud length for soft ground?

Base it on pitch conditions. Longer studs work best in deep, muddy ground. If it’s soft but not saturated, shorter studs offer more balance. Most SG boots let you swap studs to match the surface.
