Athletes of any level are always united by one problem, how to choose the right sneakers for futsal.
How to choose?
For futsal, special sports shoes have been developed - futsals. This is a model of sports sneakers that perfectly fixes the foot during the game, has a soft top and a good sole.
Real futsal shoes differ from simple sneakers not only in quality but also in price. The latter are many times cheaper, but, saving on shoes, you risk getting injuries to the legs or joints.
Sole
When choosing a futsal, pay attention to the sole.
If there are spikes on football boots, then on the futsal, the sole should be flat. It serves players to maximize grip on the floor. Usually it is made of rubber or polyurethane.
Today, many sports firms make their original design on the soles of futsals.
Some try to use technology such as the "pivot point." It is thanks to her that corns will be absent on the feet of football players.
Thin or thick?
There are two types of soles - thin and thick.
The first will be tougher. If you are a beginner player or a football player with an injury, then it is better not to choose this option. In stores today a large assortment of futsal shoes with a thick sole is presented. Such shoes are suitable for both beginners and pros. She has improved depreciation.
Material
Usually, futsal shoes are made either from a synthetic base or from leather. Leather futsal sneakers stretch over time and adapt to the shape of the player’s foot.
They have two markings: k-Leather and full-grain leather.
The first model is made of kangaroo leather. It is soft, flexible and deformed.
Full-grain leather is made from calfskin. Futsalki with such marking are more rigid. They will serve you much longer.
Sock
The forefoot of sports shoes should be made of leather or suede. These materials will serve on the sports field for a long time. Some manufacturers make synthetic futsals to save money. In this case, the nose is trimmed with a strip of leather. Such futsal sneakers can be safely taken for the game.
Insoles and Lacing
It would seem that such little things - the insole and laces. But these things make each shoe individual. For example, insoles will last you longer, they will have airbags. They are necessary for depreciation in order to reduce the load on the joints.
In most cases, the lacing on the futsal is placed on the side so that it does not interfere with contact with the ball.
Shoe marking
There are three futsal markings - Indoor (IND), IC (Indoor), FS (Futsal).
Indoor (IND) - flat futsal shoes. Manufacturers use a complex pattern for this marking. Initially, such futsals were made only for training soccer players on flat platforms. Today in this shoe you can not only train, but also lead a full game.
The classic marking that almost all sneakers possess is IC (Indoor). In design, they are similar to the boots, but only with the sole sole. Typically, such a model is chosen by former players who are used to hard soles.
Futsalki with designation FS (Futsal) are calculated for any category of athletes. Shoes with this mark are more comfortable than other models. Undoubtedly, this is reflected in the price.
