Soft ground boots (SG) are engineered for playing on natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy or very soft. They should only be used on specific surfaces to prevent damage to the boots themselves and the surface. Here’s a breakdown of the design and usage: Soleplate & Studs – removable metal studs (usually aluminum or steel) that are long to provide better grip and traction on the loose surfaces. Comfort & Fit – slightly heavier feel than firm ground boots but a more secure lockdown to cope with unstable footing, studs can be changed for different lengths depending on pitch softness. Best Use – ideal for, rainy conditions and winter matches. Safety & Maintenance – studs should be checked and tightened before play, clean and drive after use to prevent rust.
