A pair of Joma football boots may look convincing in photos, but that does not automatically mean the model is right for your pitch. The biggest disappointments usually result from choosing the wrong sole, a fit that does not suit your foot or materials that are not properly maintained.
This applies to men’s Joma football boots, women’s Joma football boots and futsal models. So do not use colour, price or a promise of speed as your only selection criteria. Start by checking the surface, stud type and size.
An FG sole is designed for firm natural grass. On artificial grass, an FG model can put too much pressure on your feet and wear out more quickly. Conversely, a sole with lots of small turf studs may not provide the same grip on wet natural grass as a suitable FG or SG sole.
Look out for these designations:
Always check the information provided by your club or sports hall before buying. A boot that is suitable outdoors is not automatically suitable for an indoor court.
Terms such as “professional”, “maximum speed” or “superior control” are not measurable criteria in themselves. A brand may mention such features based on its own research, but this is not an independent guarantee for every player.
Instead, focus on specifications you can check:
A leather upper can feel comfortable and mould to your foot, while synthetic material is often easy to clean. The right choice depends on your preferences, how often you play and the conditions you play in.
An EU size is a useful starting point, but the fit varies from model to model. Measure your foot at the end of the day, wearing the socks you use for football. Compare the length with the size chart if one is available.
Your foot should not slide forwards during a sprint or sudden change of direction. At the same time, your toes should not press against the front. A boot that is too roomy can reduce ball control and stability; one that is too tight may become uncomfortable during the warm-up.
The surface determines the grip you need. For many Dutch amateur pitches, AG football boots are suitable if you mainly play on artificial grass. For a firm natural-grass pitch, FG football boots are the more logical choice. If you mainly play on short-pile artificial grass or turf, consider TF football boots.
Only use SG football boots when the pitch is soft enough and the venue’s rules allow them. Metal studs may be unsuitable on hard surfaces and can put additional strain on the sole.
For futsal, choose Joma futsal shoes with an indoor sole specifically. A studded sole may be less suitable for a sports-hall floor and could leave marks.
Leather, natural leather, synthetic leather and eco-leather each have different properties. For example, the product information for the Joma Top Flex 2401 TF mentions a flexible Fibratec leather upper. According to its product description, the Joma FS Reactive 2402 TF has a leather upper with textile inserts and ventilation perforations.
For synthetic models such as the Joma Striker 2502 FG, the specifications focus on a lightweight upper and features such as One Piece, Sock System and Exo Counter. This says something about the construction, but it does not mean that every foot will experience the same fit.
Look for padding around the ankle, a reinforced toe, the midsole and the material used for the outsole. The Top Flex 2401 TF mentions ankle and tongue padding, a rubber toe reinforcement, a Phylon midsole and PULSOR gel inserts. The Joma FS Reactive 2402 TF mentions a double midsole with Foam Reactive and Phylon.
After use, remove mud and grass with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow your boots to dry at room temperature. A radiator, hairdryer or direct sunlight can damage the glue and materials. Do not machine-wash football boots unless the product information expressly permits it.
Why it suits this profile: This FG model is aimed at players looking for a straightforward choice for firm natural-grass pitches, without immediately opting for a more complex system.
The FG designation clearly indicates the intended playing surface. Do not use this model as an all-purpose artificial-grass or indoor shoe.
Synthetic leather upper, low-profile design and a sole with strategically positioned FG studs.
Why it suits this profile: A choice for players who value a leather upper, a padded collar and an anatomically shaped insole.
The product information explicitly mentions natural leather, padding and an FG sole. However, check that size 45 is suitable for your foot length.
Leather upper, traditional lace-up fastening and rubber FG outsole for natural grass.
Why it suits this profile: This unisex TF model is designed for futsal training and matches on turf or similar artificial-grass surfaces.
The TF sole prevents you from using an FG or SG model indoors or on short-pile turf. For indoor use, check that the floor and sole are suitable.
Flexible leather upper, ventilation perforations, rubber toe reinforcement and Phylon midsole.
Why it suits this profile: An AG model for adult female players who mainly train or play matches on artificial grass.
The AG specification makes this a more targeted choice than a general “football boot for every pitch”. Use it on the specified artificial-grass surface.
Synthetic leather upper, lightweight construction, rubber sole and size 41.
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 range includes football boots in sizes 40 to 46, depending on the model. Please note: size 40 in an AG model and size 46 in an FG model do not automatically have the same fit. Check the product page, stated fit and length in millimetres where this information is available.
According to the product information, the products listed are covered by at least two years’ statutory warranty under European consumer law. This does not cover normal wear and tear, incorrect use or damage caused by playing on an unsuitable surface. Keep your order details and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.
That depends on the sole type. Ideally, choose a model with AG or TF when the product information mentions artificial grass or turf. An FG model is primarily designed for firm natural grass.
Look for Joma futsal shoes with a flat, non-marking rubber indoor sole. The Joma Top Flex range is described as a futsal collection in the product information. Also check the requirements of your sports hall.
Their lifespan depends on playing hours, surface, body weight, playing style and care. Use the boots only on the specified surface, remove dirt after every training session and allow them to dry naturally. A worn sole, coming-away stitching or a permanently misshapen upper are signs that it is time for a replacement.
