Do soccer shoes improve performance?

Question

I use slip-on vans since they feel the most comfortable out of the shoes I have. Usually I just do tricks but sometimes I go with my bro to the park and do curve balls around trees and other things youd do in a game. Just wondering if I should waste money on some soccer shoes even tho im not in a team atm or anything.

Answer 1

in my opinion the best thing soccer shoes will do would help u run-cuz the bottom u got them spikes there.so you'll have a better grip on the ball and ur cleats will feel good wen u run in tha grass.also its guaranteed theyre gonna stay on ur feet,since u say ur using slip on vans.

&& btw do u live near a modells sports store?cuz ive gotten decent cleats for under $20.that was last season but u could check in

Answer 2

No.  

Answer 3

it depends on what you mean by performance.

you will slip and vans arnt very aero-dynamic

Answer 4

Well compared to the other answer I am going to say it all depends on the person. For example I have a pair of slip-on vans and I my accuracy becomes that of 5 year old. While on the other hand when I get me a pair of cleats that suit my style of play then I am back to my normal skill level such as curving the ball and such. So if you are playing at your best with your current cleats then at the moment I don't see a need for you to buy a pair.

Answer 5

no i don't think you should because having soccer shoes just give you better traction when you are running around playing in a soccer game. i mean look at indoor soccer. all people wear are indoor shoes which are just like tennis shoes and they are just fine.

Answer 6

no, but if you do buy soccer shoes choose less pointy ones so you can control the ball better.
