Answer 3

Aluminium with a kite mark that shows that they will not burr up if scratched or worn on hard surfaces.

Some guys are wearing the US style blades but they get a bad rap for knee injuries.

In the summer or on hard packed dirt pitches in the winter you should have a pair of moulded stud boots handy.  You have more, shallower, softer studs to get better grip and these are way more comfy if the ground underfoot is hard.  As the ground thaws you'll need a 6 or 8 stud boot for deeper traction, mouldies skid in soft turf.
