Question

Is it true that football kickers wear soccer cleats instead of football cleats?

Answer 1

If you ever see the kicker during the game, you will notice that their kicking foot's shoe is different than the other. Most of the kickers wear soccer cleats on their kicking foot and a football cleat on the other.

Answer 2

I think some of them do

Answer 3

I believe some of them probably do, but they have square-toed cleats that are specially made for kickers.

Answer 4

Some do.

This is because most football cleats are not made for kicking a ball.

Soccer cleats are made specifically to be used for kicking a soccer ball. So they are less bulky, and less likely to affect the ball when you are making contact.

Answer 5

Yeah, they do. Only because soccer cleats are made for kicking. Football cleats are made for doing cuts and give u good stability.
