The Benefits of Screw-In Studs

Many people think that it is forbidden to play with football shoes that have steel screw-in studs, but this is not the case. As long as the studs are well-maintained, you can play on any pitch. The studs must not have sharp edges. The great advantage of these shoes is that they provide excellent grip due to their long, strong studs. This makes them ideal for playing on wet, slippery fields. These shoes are marked with "SG" after the product name, which stands for Soft Ground. Because of the excellent grip they offer, these shoes are particularly suitable for goalkeepers.

The studs can be replaced with shorter ones, making the shoe suitable for playing on drier fields. Since the studs are replaceable, the football shoe lasts longer. When the old studs wear out, you can easily replace them with new ones.

The Disadvantages of Screw-In Studs

Despite the above benefits, football shoes with screw-in studs also have some downsides. Since these shoes typically have only 6 to 8 long studs, they are less stable on harder surfaces. Furthermore, these shoes require a lot of maintenance and are not suitable for players who do not want to take care of their shoes after training or matches.

Maintenance

It is important to keep the football shoes clean, not just the upper part, but also the underside. The screw-in studs should be regularly unscrewed and the screw threads should be lubricated with acid-free petroleum jelly. Afterward, when screwing the studs back in, it is important not to tighten them too much. Tight is tight!
