Buying a new pair of Joma football boots seems straightforward, until you have to choose between FG, AG and TF. Many footballers focus mainly on colour, price or a lightweight design. As a result, they sometimes end up with boots that are unsuitable for their pitch, provide too little support or wear out quickly.
The most important choice is not the appearance, but the combination of sole type, fit and material. This practical guide will help you avoid the most common mistakes when buying Joma men’s football boots.
FG studs are designed for firm, natural grass pitches. On artificial grass, they can put too much pressure on your feet and wear out more quickly. AG soles are designed for artificial grass and feature several, generally shorter, studs. For short artificial grass or indoor-style artificial pitches, TF boots with lots of small rubber studs are often the more logical choice.
Using a boot on the wrong surface does not automatically provide more grip. Always check the designation:
A low weight can feel comfortable when accelerating and turning. However, on its own it says nothing about stability or fit. Also look for a firm heel, a secure lacing system and any support around the ankle.
According to the product descriptions of various Joma models, features include One Piece, Sock System and Exo Counter. These are product features; exactly how the boot feels depends on the shape of your foot and your personal preference.
A size 42 does not have exactly the same fit in every model. Joma product information lists a normal or regular fit for several models, but this is no guarantee that every foot will feel the same in them. Therefore, check:
If you are unsure, the size chart on the product page is more important than simply relying on your usual shoe size.
For football boots for natural grass, Joma FG football boots are the appropriate category. According to their product descriptions, the Joma Striker 2502 FG, Joma Super Copa 2303 FG and Joma Propulsion Cup 2402 FG feature an FG sole with strategically positioned studs for grip on firm natural grass.
If you mainly play on artificial grass, do not automatically choose an FG model. According to the product specifications, the Joma Super Copa 2401 AG is designed for artificial ground. For short artificial grass, the Joma FS Reactive 2402 TF, with its rubber multi-studs, may be better suited to the intended use.
Pay attention to your club’s rules. Some clubs recommend a specific sole type for artificial grass or prohibit certain stud profiles.
Many Joma football boots in this selection have a synthetic leather upper. This material is generally easy to wipe clean and, according to the product information, retains its firm shape. According to the product specifications, the Joma FS Reactive 2402 TF has a leather upper with VTS ventilation openings and a textile lining.
A leather upper may feel different when making contact with the ball, while synthetic material often requires less maintenance. Neither material is automatically suitable for every player. Consider the level of flexibility and ventilation you want, as well as how you intend to care for the boots.
More studs do not automatically mean more grip. The stud profile must suit the surface. FG models use larger, fixed studs for firm grass; AG and TF models distribute pressure differently on artificial grass.
Do not use FG boots regularly on hard surfaces. Clean your boots after every training session with a soft brush or damp cloth and allow them to dry at room temperature. Avoid radiators, tumble dryers and washing machines: direct heat can damage the material and adhesive.
Why it suits this profile: A low-cut model for players looking for a lightweight boot for training and matches on firm natural grass.
The FG designation makes it clear that this model is for firm natural grass, not artificial grass. The product information lists a regular fit.
Synthetic leather upper, rubber outsole and a lightweight design according to the product description.
Why it suits this profile: For adults who play on firm natural grass and value a lightweight construction with a synthetic leather upper.
The FG sole helps prevent you from using this model as an all-purpose artificial grass boot. Before buying, check that your pitch is genuinely firm natural grass.
FG studs, rubber sole and a white-and-gold design; the product page lists speed, control and stability as intended uses.
Why it suits this profile: Designed for players who often train or play matches on short artificial grass and need a rubber multi-stud sole.
The TF marking is better suited to short artificial grass than an FG sole. Do not use this model as a replacement for fixed studs on natural grass.
Rubber multi-studs, leather upper, VTS ventilation openings and a dual-density midsole according to the product data.
Why it suits this profile: For men who mainly train on artificial grass and are looking for an AG sole with a synthetic upper.
The AG specification makes the intended use clear. This helps prevent you from choosing an FG model for a synthetic pitch.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
The lifespan of football boots depends primarily on the surface, frequency of use and care. Do not allow mud to dry on the seams and sole. Carefully brush away loose dirt and use a damp cloth on the upper. Allow the boots to dry completely before storing them.
Preferably use a pair on the surface it was designed for. If you play on both natural and artificial grass, investing in two sole types may prove more economical in the long term than using one pair everywhere.
According to the product information provided, the products are covered by a statutory guarantee of at least two years under European consumer rules. This is separate from normal wear and tear caused by use.
That depends on the sole type. Choose Joma AG football boots for many artificial grass pitches and Joma TF football boots for short artificial grass or turf. Also check your football club’s regulations.
Joma FG football boots have fixed studs for firm natural grass. AG models are intended for artificial grass and use a sole profile adapted to this synthetic surface. Do not use an FG model routinely on artificial grass.
According to the product information, the models mentioned often have a normal or regular fit. The fit can vary from one model and foot to another. Check the available size, wear football socks when trying them on and pay particular attention to a secure heel and enough room around the toes.
