Breaking in a leather or synthetic upper

A new pair of shoes needs breaking in before match day, and the time required depends on the upper. Synthetic mesh uppers, which are now the majority, require very little breaking in and are comfortable from the first minutes. Leather uppers, whether calf or kangaroo, stretch more and gradually mold to the foot: one or two training sessions will help them shape up before being worn in competition.

The shoe size should not be chosen smaller in anticipation of this stretching: leather stretches in width, not in length. The sole, it, is chosen based on the pitch: molded for dry grass, screwed for soft ground, with short studs for synthetic surfaces. All pairs are available in shoes.

Goalkeeper gloves: preparing the latex

A new pair of gloves also needs preparation. Many manufacturers recommend rinsing the palm with lukewarm water before the first use to remove the protective film covering the latex from the factory, then lightly dampening it before each session to activate its grip. After use, the gloves should be rinsed without scrubbing and air-dried, away from a radiator that hardens the latex.

Soft latex grips better but wears out faster on synthetic surfaces: keeping one pair for matches and another for training extends the lifespan of both. Gloves and goalkeeper kits are available in the goalkeepers category.

Completing a team kit

Before a tournament, there's often a missing shirt, shorts, or a pair of socks to complete the gear. The ranges from teamwear are available in all sizes and are compatible from season to season without changing the model. The juniors section features equipment sized for young players, and the equipment section includes balls, bibs, and club bags. Official shirts can be found in the teams section, and tracksuits add to the travel kit.

Other football entries

The new arrivals showcase the latest shirts and shoes, promotions feature discounted items, and customisation options allow you to personalise a shirt. For the best deals, the good deals, clearance, sales and Black Friday each have their own football page, and the entire universe is gathered on the football page.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean when an item ships in 24 hours?

Items in this selection are prepared and shipped within 24 hours. The delivery time is then added according to the chosen shipping method before you receive it.

How long does it take to break in new studs?

A synthetic mesh upper is comfortable almost immediately. A calf or kangaroo leather upper requires one or two training sessions to stretch and conform to the foot before being worn in a match.

Should goalkeeper gloves be wet before playing?

Yes, most latex grips better when slightly damp: a bit of water is applied to the palms before the match and during breaks. After use, rinse them in lukewarm water and let them air dry, away from a heat source.

What shoe size should I choose for football boots?

A football boot should fit snugly, with about half a centimetre in front of the toes. A leather upper stretches a little and can be taken quite fitted, while a synthetic upper moves very little and should be chosen in its exact size.

How to quickly kit out an entire team?
