Street Football shoes

This is a very common problem and, right from the start, we must make it clear that the solution is not straightforward. To find the right shoes for an abrasive surface such as concrete, we need to strike a balance between durability, comfort and grip. Although there is no such thing as the perfect boot for playing street football, we can find ranges that combine these three characteristics and bring us closer to that ideal choice. As a general recommendation, we’d like to make it clear that under no circumstances do we advise playing football on concrete surfaces in boots with turf soles. This type of sole is designed and recommended for playing on the earliest, first-generation artificial turf pitches.

We begin this list with what is perhaps one of the best options for playing futsal on concrete surfaces. The key lies in the sole, which offers good grip and a surface capable of withstanding the abrasion caused by this type of surface without compromising on comfort or grip.

We continue with another futsal classic: the adidas Copa Tango 18.2 Topsala, one of the German brand’s most iconic ranges for this sport. At first glance, they may look like low-profile shoes with a sole designed exclusively for parquet flooring. However, their construction and EVA midsole provide excellent comfort and high resistance to abrasion, thanks to the quality of the materials used by adidas.

The New Balance Football Audazo V4 Pro are one of the best options for playing on outdoor pitches, as they offer lightness and comfort without compromising on performance. The upper construction, integrated tongue and midsole materials help to reduce wear and tear compared to other models. The Audazo stand out for combining lightness, a snug fit and grip, making them a very attractive option for playing on particularly abrasive surfaces. That said, it’s worth noting that they are perhaps the least robust model on this list.

Here are our recommendations so you can enjoy your favourite sport on outdoor pitches, including concrete ones, without having to change your shoes every other match. Which ones do you wear for street football?
