thats murica for ya 

is it for safety reasons?
kicking someone with these shoes hurts a lot, sure enough

then its woth a try i think
i am playing almost exclusively on grass ^^
for turf they are nonsense of course (and not allowed here)

and metals are allowed, but a maximum of 16 millimetres long
the ones on the shoes you buy are 14mm here so no problem



wtf?
how did you get that idea?

Yeah, people here suck. They don't know to use them.

some places dont let u cause they hurt and people tackle stupid..
but when i was playing for highschool team i saw a few people use them and the ref didnt mind.

Yeah i get like 10 games on grass 6 on turf  used to play full season on turf  thank god thats over.

mmmh yeah, but its not like a stupid tackle with normal shoes is so much better
isnt there some place you can read it up? our football association has clear rules on that you can check on the internet
maybe you try that

i like playing on turf 
no holes etc there ^^

turf is the best.. if you dont mind destroying cleats or maybe the cleats i get are shitty
but yeah turf is so nice the ball speeds up glides by things  like you said no holes or tall grass everything is leveled
but i feel alot more comfortable / get less tired n feet pains from grass fields.

yeah sure a good grass field is best

i play with these on most turf pitches for some years now, dont even remember when i bought them

count yourself lucky to not have pitches like these
here they are still rather common

and that REALLY sucks, believe me

mmmh really strange you dont have rules for this.....football in murica needs still time ^^

in that case you might think about that

these are my current shoes and they have rather long cleats compared to others
grip is still ok on wet grass, maybe you try something like this
check out the store maybe you find some with longer cleats

Can you even do a simple sliding tackle on that pitch without hurting yourself?

Quote (ampoo @ Sep 30 2014 05:18pm)

of course not, you will rip half the skin on your legs open
avoiding tackles is number 1 priority there and the ball hops like crazy
impossible to have a decent passing game there

nasty wounds i tell ya
had a game on a pitch like that 3 weeks ago and i fell
wound on the knee is still not healed completely

good thing is that these pitches are slowly replaced with turf, but they still exist

I would be completely usseles on those pitches, since my strenghts are tackling/short passing
