Cleaning – Dirt and Mud can destroy the leather itself, and cause problems with stitched seams, and glued parts. So we need to clean off dirt and mud with water, soap, towels, sticks, and/or brushes. But SALT (from sweat) can cause the same problems, so we should clean our leather boots with SOAP and water even if they don’t look dirty. Any mild detergent like dishwashing liquid, baby shampoo, castille soap, etc., should work. Rinse well, then stuff with newspaper to dry. “Saddle Soap” is often sold for use on shoes, but it’s probably too harsh and drying for the soft leathers on modern soccer shoes.

Protection – It’s common to treat leather and suede coats with waterproofing chemicals, and soccer shoes should get the same.
Spray on a waterproofing agent from an aerosol can, or apply with a cloth if you find a liquid or cream waterproofing product. This prevents your salty sweat from penetrating the leather, and it helps keep the boots from becoming heavy and water soaked in the rain. It will also help them dry faster if they do get wet. Some shoes come with “waterproof leather,” but that waterproofing doesn’t last very long if you don’t restore it with regular applications of product.

Restoration – This really has two goals: a) keeping the leather looking nice, and b) maintaining the natural oils, softness, strength and durability of the leather. You might find one product for both these needs, or you might need two.
Fixing the appearance requires a polish, dye or other colored product to cover scuffs and scrapes. Maintaining the leather’s good qualities might require an oily or waxy cream, polish or lotion.
If your leather looks dry or cracked, then you definitely need to apply an oily cream or lotion right away. It’s just like hand lotion when your hands are dry and cracked. Use the polishes, creams and lotions according to the directions on the package, and wipe away and excess so it doesn’t attract dirt. Chelsea Leather Food is a popular product for soccer shoes, but there are plenty of good products out there from Sof-Sole, Kiwi, Griffin, etc.

If you care for your leather uppers, they should last for at least two years of regular play. Problems with leather uppers are usually avoidable, so your goal should be to have your leather uppers last until the outsole becomes worn out, or the sole starts to detach from the upper.

Additonal Tips for Screw-In soles…

Screw-In cleats should be properly tightened. Over-tightening will strip the threads, or extend the screw post up too far into the foot. Under-tightening will allow the screw to wiggle and damage the threads, then perhaps fall out. Water, sweat and dirt can also cause the post to seize inside the threads. A couple of chemicals can help with these requirements.

Some players apply grease to the threads before tightening. This helps the screw fully engage the threads, and prevents rust and corrosion. Other players use blue “Loc-Tite” or a similar thread adhesive. This stuff helps “glue” the screw to the threads, but we’ll still be able to remove the screw with normal force. Both of these products help meet the same goal: keeping the screw-in cleats properly tightened for each use, while allowing disassembly when needed.

Try to check each screw-in cleat before and after each use. Always carry your cleat tool and extra cleats, if possible. Don’t play in the shoes if there is a problem with any of the cleats, screw posts, or screw holes, because you could quickly ruin the shoes by deforming the screw hole.

There are a many different types of football boots or soccer cleats for the North American language, for players to choose from due to the different types of surfaces that soccer can be played on. From synthetic plastic uppers to Adidas look “Predator” model, the choices can be extremely hard even for the professional players. But there are some areas that you can refer as a tips of what you should be looking for when buying football boots.

Low cost synthetic plastic uppers are suit for the occasional player but for those playing at a higher level there are comfort and feel to buy a kangaroo leather built upper or just the modern lightweight hi-tech synthetic boots. But What type of studs should you look for or the type of studs you need it’s all depends on what surfaces or field you will be playing on.

Astro turf trainers, known for dozens of short rubber studs are obviously for best use on synthetic pitches. For dry grass surfaces, you can choose a moulded studs. They are a little longer and give more grip on grass but are still comfortable enough to wear on hard ground. As for wet or muddy surfaces you can use a removable studs football boots. It can provide maximum grip on soft ground for running and turning.

How about the football boots prices? With so many choice from various manufacturers there will be a headache when it comes to prices. An ordinary football boots will start as low as USD35 for a basic pair of plastic built boots while high quality or branded football boots available to the consumer market can run to USD125 or more per pair.

How to consider when choosing a pair of football boots? When choosing a football boots always try on with the same thickness of socks as you would play in. Try with some pairs of different brands and in different sizes to find what is most the comfortable for you and still gives you enough of a feel and touch for the ball through the boot. As you will be wearing the boots in action for 90 minutes at a time so comfort and fit should always be main considerations over colour and aesthetic style.
