Soccer Shoes Firm Ground Frequently Asked Questions

What are firm ground cleats good for?

Wear your firm ground cleats to play soccer on natural grass fields that are well-maintained and have a short to medium grass blade height. Firm ground cleats are a good choice for these surfaces because their plastic studs provide good grip on a stable, natural grass surface. The studs are typically round or bladed and offer a good balance between penetration and traction. The studs on FG cleats dig into the ground slightly to provide a secure base for manoeuvering. If you're playing on a very soft or muddy field, longer metal studs might be necessary for better penetration.

Can you use hard ground cleats on turf?

It's generally not recommended. The hard plastic studs on firm ground cleats can be too aggressive for turf surfaces, potentially causing tears or punctures. And the long studs might not dig into artificial turf properly, leading to slipping and affecting your agility. Turf shoes are a better choice because their shorter, rubber or plastic studs provide good traction without damaging the turf. Some newer, high-quality artificial turf fields are designed to handle the pressure of firm ground studs. However, it's always best to check with the field operator or your league to see if they allow them.

What is FG vs. SG vs. AG?

FG, SG and AG stand for different types of cleats designed for specific playing surfaces. FG means firm ground soccer cleats. These are made with firm plastic studs for grip on well-maintained, natural grass fields. SG, or soft ground cleats, are built for natural grass fields, especially those that might be wet or muddy. They have longer, metal studs that dig deeper into the ground. AG indicates artificial grass, and these cleats are designed for artificial turf fields. They typically have shorter, rubber or plastic studs that provide good traction without damaging the turf.
