I'm sure there are quite a few people on here that play footie regularly, and may recognise this problem.
Basically, I bought a pair of boots last year on Aliboy's reccomendation (and the fact that they were the only football showes available in size 12) and they were all good. I stick them on this season, and there's one stud on my right foots (left side, on the ball of the foot). And that single stud doesn't seem to want to actually do its job and go into the ground. It seems to stick into my foot more and more every time I take a step.
Admitedly, the boots are soft-ground boots ( [URL]http://www.boot-room.com/images/timepo_premier.jpg[/URL] style studs) and the gorund these days is amazingly soft, but I'm sure there must be something I can do to make that single stud sink into the ground more...
Thenkew!

They are simply called gel pads. Enjoy playing soccerball.
Breast enhancements I think?
So, I'll.. er... go to Morrisons a nd ask for 'gel things'? :P
Any indication as to what they're actually called? :) :P

I stopped wearing my newish blades the other week after watching Watchdog where some fella got tackled and it actually tore his calf clean out of his leg.It wasn't pleasent. So it's back to the old boots for me.
Oh and those gel things Foreman suggested work wonders.

I had the same problem and was getting hard skin on the bottom of my foot. I bought some gel things from Morrisons for a fiver. You just place it inside your boots.
Works fine for me.

TO be honest, I don't see the point...
I play for the school, and I'm hardly ever on the 3rd team, and even then I'm a sub if I'm lucky... So I don't see the point in buying new boots just because the ground's too hard.
Anyway, where's all that wet winter weather we've all gotten so used to?

I'd pin it on the ground being too hard. You should get some mouldies anyway.
