Womens Indoor Soccer Shoes

Womens indoor soccer shoes are designed to suit the tastes and styles of female soccer players. No longer do women have to put up with soccer footwear made for men. You get to choose colors that suit you and who you are.

If you like the standard mens color and styles, then go ahead and make that choice. However, if you would prefer to show that you are an individual pick the color and style that says who you are.

Lightweight

Womens indoor soccer shoes can be as light a 8 ounces. That will allow you to move quickly and experiment with those tricks that you have been working on.

This light weight can be attributed to mesh and microfiber uppers that are  light but tough enough to take the abuse that you will give them.

Who Makes Them

The major soccer shoe manufacturers all make indoor soccer shoes for women. Nike, Puma, Adidas, and Lotto all have models unique to women. You have numerous choices from each maker and what you choose will depend on what features you want.

Terminology

An indoor soccer shoe is made up of the upper, the midsole, insole, and the sole.

The Upper  - the top visible part of a shoe.

The Insole  - The lining running the full length of the inside of the shoe.

The Mid-sole - A layer of material fitted between the sole and insole. Provides cushioning and strength.

Sole - The bottom.

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) -A synthetic. It gives cushioning to your foot. It is shaped by pressure and heat.

The Upper

The upper of the shoe can be made from leather, synthetics, and fabrics. These ingedients can also be combined for a shoe upper. Some models have a reinforced toe cap for added durability.

The lacing in the upper can be:

• Straight up the shoe like a normal sneaker.
• Asymmetrical (offset), to alllow better ball striking, and helps reduce pressure on the top of the foot.
• Covered, to further improve ball striking.
  

Leather will provide a better feel for the ball, and is usually more expensive than fabrics or synthetics. However, synthtetics will last longer.

Insole

The insole is usually made of EVA. Some manufacturers will inject the EVA while others place a pre-formed insert into the shoe. Some models will be removable, but others are meant to stay in the shoe.

The Sole

The sole on womens indoor soccer shoes are made mostly from rubber. Each company has a tread design that they feel will maximize your traction. Some makers have rubber stubs included in their design as they feel it will give you good footing. Soles are non-marking to ensure that the indoor soccer surface remains marked only with the lines that are required by the game.

Safety First

Playing indoor soccer is not meant for sneakers. If you think that you can get away with wearing sneakers, I suggest that you think safety first. Choose a pair of indoor soccer shoes that meet your soccer needs, and show your style.
