Great video and very helpful. Thank you for making it.
Thank you so much for clarifying on this topic
great video and thanks for mentioning the knee injury part of using fg on ag, thats how i tore my acl, it really is a dangerous thing to do
Great Video! I dislocated my knee using FG boots on AG and have been using turf shoes since (but I feel slower with those). Gonna go out and buy AG boots, thanks for the recs

me too,I prefer turf boots for the AG surface- better on the knees that even AG boots. Btw. I think Kaiser team 5, old school addidas is the best boots ever. Soft, stable, durable. All, the fancy stuff developed recently, doesn't really make difference.
Very informative, thanks. I use turf boots as they allow me play on all kinds of surfaces that aren't too wet, including artificial grass, grass, mud, concrete, synthetic etc. I'm searching for a good pair of reasonably priced FG/AG boots, but the Indian choices aren't suitable.
My opinion on this topic, is if you're a casual player (non-competitive), then TF is the way to go on all AG/Turf surfaces. Not worth the extra risk to injury for that extra aggression in a game that you're not getting paid for. Pro tip for Adidas & Puma: Adidas makes an HG/AG version of their boots for specific markets. These are much more suitable for AG than their FG/AG boots. For Puma, they make an MG version. If these aren't specifically available in your market, you should still be able to pick them up from resellers at a really good price.

'f you're a casual player (non-competitive), then TF is the way to go on all AG/Turf surfaces. Not worth the extra risk to injury for that extra aggression in a game that you're not getting paid for.' Fully agree! I would even say - if you are casual player who plays 3 times a week and sometimes on not well maintained, patchy grass pitch, that would work as well. Your knees will thank you and not give up as for many players do.

Puma MG soleplate is the best option for artificial grass, hands down, followed by the AG plate you find on the UnoZero and the Pantofola d'Oro Lazzarini AG 2.0 Munich and Joma also make interesting AG soleplates that resemble the Puma MG, but haven't tried those yet

I currently have the Adidas Copa Pure 2.3 FG, and have a football pitch near me but I cannot tell whether it is is an AG, 3G or 4G pitch. Either way, is it still suitable (atleast slightly) to play on either of them?
can I wear a AG Nike tiempo legend 10 or any other AG boot on a field that is turf? What would happen? And is there any cheap mizuno neo Beta 4s I love the silhouette
Do you think the few non conical studs on the mercurial ag outsole makes them that much more unsafe, compared to something like the phantom gx ag outsole with all conical studs or is there not a big difference between the two? Thanks
@upper90football_

There’s a couple of bladed studs on the heel of the mercurial ag, but since you usually run on your forefoot, it shouldn’t make a big difference for injury risk. I agree that the full conical soleplate on the phantom is preferable.
@sdot5389

It’s not just the studs…it’s the plastic in the sole plate and studs…they aren’t meant to resist abrasion and heat from AG surfaces. It also voids your warranty.

My daughter plays on both grass and AG and has always worn “regular” bladed cleats for both. Besides the risk of injury, she has noticed that she can’t run as fast on AG as grass. Trying to decide between turf shoes and AG cleats - would either provide a noticeable speed advantage? Thanks for this video - very helpful!
@upper90football_

Turf shoes won't be quiet as optimized for speed due to the less aggressive soleplate. AG cleats (or any cleats with conical studs) would be great for both artificial grass and natural grass. Good examples include the Nike Premier 3, Tiempo Legend 10, Adidas Copa Gloro, NB 442, or any AG model from Nike.
Did you try the Adidas Kaiser(real leather), it is super fit and comfortable. It's like you wear a glove or 2nd skin of your foot.

I love addidas Kaiser - tried few others but that classic is unbeatable. Comfortable, soft for ball control, sturdy too. And if you find some sales - affordable for that quality. For around 80 USD, comparing to the newest, horribly narrow shoes, costing sometimes 200-300 USD, this is a steal!
Good video. So, my boots don't have those bladed studs. Instead those cylindrical studs. Am I good to go on turfs?

Can i play with AG boots on natural grass?
here before you blow up. quality vid👍
question. i'm going to be a referee for a sport that will mostly be played on natural grass, occasionally on AG in stadiums for higher profile games, and will require me to officiate multiple games over a weekend tournament. i'm leaning towards turf shoes for 1. comfort over the long tournament and 2. versatility between grass and AG. i've already done one tournament in my black nike FG wide receiver cleats, and it's definitely not going to be an option for comfort. Would turf shoes be good for my needs? or is there a better option that will give me more traction and safety than trainers when on grass, but more comfort than cleats?

I think turf damages the ankles. What can be done about this in terms of shoes? Natural grass is my preference.

Good point. SG studs are conical, but more so for piercing into soft/muddy ground rather than to offer less rotational traction. SG studs also tend to be longer and sharper than other conical studs, making them not ideal for use on AG.
