soccer cleats aren’t illegal in football

No, but I suppose a RB or WR isn't going to want to sacrifice that spike and lose traction in their cuts. So, not illegal, but not really practical for most football players.

Why?

Doesn’t look physically demanding at all.


running full speed on a court and trying to stop o a dime. you will inevitably roll your ankle over. this is why high tops were invented

Is this a real question from you? You've informed the board of your childrens' significant athletic prowess for years now and you act like you don't know.

I'm thinking of purchasing some cleats to wear while mowing. I'd like some old school Puma's with the screw-in cleats.

Did you not play any sports?

Ankle height will vary based on what you’re using them for. Baseball spikes are different than grass sports.

It’s football season. I’ve not contemplated buying special cleats for it...IDK. I don’t see the difference in what’s being asked physically. Run, cut, run.

different spike configuration especially near the toe.

Football cleats allow extra spike(s) at the very front of foot. Soccer does not.

I'd also want some more ankle protection in football due to bodies crashing into the side of your leg near your ankle during tackles and blocking

They do vary quite a bit depending on field condition (turf, hard ground, normal, soft/muddy)

yes

if turf it will be better. if the team plays on grass you may need a little bit more spike coverage, the more round peg type spikes

As long as the shape is the same. I didn’t know if football cleats were flatter than the soccer ones.

He destroys the soccer cleats, football ones more durable? You can see the ‘new’ one splitting in the same spot.
