Indoor football trainers vs turf
When we talk about futsal, we usually think of a sports hall or an indoor pitch. However, futsal is not just that, it can be played on a variety of different types of surfaces. So it seems logical that depending on the terrain you play on, your shoes will have to adapt to it and be your faithful ally.
One of the most common courts, as we have already mentioned, is the wooden floor and indoor court. For these types of surfaces it makes sense to use shoes with a flat sole for better grip and stability. Indoor football is known for being in constant contact with the ball, for stepping on the ball, and for being a reactive sport. That's why you need shoes that are adapted to the reality of your game and your needs, so indoor football trainers will play that role very well.
On the other hand, if we are facing a rough and abrasive ground, such as concrete, astroturf football boots will be better. Why? Simple. The sole will wear out gradually and the upper of the boots is ready to suffer more extreme conditions on the ground, which will compensate for your inversion with durability.
We have already noted that the flatter the sole, the more grip it has. However, there are players who prefer to feel the ground closer, so they use trainers for indoor football on concrete courts. The lifespan of these shoes will be jeopardised, but it all depends on the feelings you like to have while playing. On the contrary, turf boots cannot be used on indoor surfaces, as the studs mark the ground and you will lose a lot of grip. In short: the indoor sole is for indoor pitches and polished concrete pitches and the turf sole is for outdoor pitches and first-generation artificial grass.
Cheap futsal shoes, worth giving them a go?
After having introduced the main differences in futsal footwear that are advised to wear depending on the ground where you play, let's talk now about basics: the feeling and the performance. In terms of feelings, it is very important that the player is comfortable with his shoes, that's why you must know your preferences very well. Some players prefer leather shoes and others choose synthetic materials. Another aspect to take into account is the shape of the shoe: is it wider or narrower, does it have special protections or is the toe cap thinner to better feel the ball? Here are some examples:
Great comfort, lightness and durability with a narrow shape.
Reinforced toe cap for greater durability and perfect grip.
