So, you have decided to start the futsal game.

The main thing you are going to need is a good pair of indoor soccer shoes.

Follow the suggestions below to help you choose the best pair.

Length

Futsal shoes are the size of normal shoes. That being said, with a futsal shoe a tighter fit is normally suggested, so standard shoe sizes may not transfer directly. These shoes are usually made of fine, soft and flexible leather. To ensure proper ball feel, a tighter fit is better. Futsal shoes are designed with a narrower upper, which allows for better feel and control of the ball. Your indoor soccer shoe should probably sit as close to the ball of your foot as possible without actually touching your toes. This will ensure maximum comfort and performance. A gap of 1/4 to 1/2 inch is optimal. As a general rule of thumb, each 1/2 size will give you about 3/16 of an inch (4 mm) in length.

Broad

The width of your indoor soccer shoes can also be important. Your cleats should fit your foot perfectly and your foot should not slip inside the shoe during play. You also don’t want the shoe to be too tight. Most indoor soccer shoes are only available in one width. You may have to experiment with several different shoes until you find one that works best for you.

If you have wider feet then look into buying cleats made from kangaroo leather as these will stretch more to fit your feet.

The origin of your shoe can also determine the fit. Top of the line leathers (especially kangaroo leather) usually stretch after 1-2 uses. High-quality shoes will actually mold to the shape of your foot, so you want them to fit the width perfectly when they’re fresh out of the box.

proper fit

When you have your signature indoor soccer shoes, try them on indoors to see if they fit well. Your shoes should fit snugly without discomfort or pressure points. The toes should reach the front of the shoe, but should not touch the tip of the shoe. Again, look for a 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap. If a player continues to grow, we suggest buying slightly larger shoes and filling the excess space by putting on an extra set of two socks.

Price

The good thing about indoor soccer shoes is that they are cheaper than normal soccer cleats or boots. Try paying $40 to $100 for a high-quality pair of indoor soccer shoes. There are many places to buy futsal shoes both online and offline.

More and more soccer and sports stores are starting to sell these shoes and you’ll also discover a volume of online merchants with a fantastic selection of shoes.
