Indoor Soccer Shoes & Futsal Shoes

Not all amateur or soccer games are played on pitches made with real grass. Indoor arenas use a completely different type of surface, which makes typical firm ground soccer cleats an unsuitable choice for optimal play. Therefore, Indoor soccer shoes are a definitive must have for any indoor arena soccer player. Soccer Wearhouse carries plenty of sizes, designs, and colorways for both men's and women’s indoor soccer shoes. Feel free to browse our collection to find the pair for you!

Indoor Soccer Shoes – How Are They Different?

Unlike traditional soccer footwear, indoor soccer cleats don’t use studs to dig into the dirt and grass.Instead, they use a flat, non-marking rubber sole (similar to gym shoes) to guarantee more grip when running, jumping, and stopping. This allows for easy turns and maneuvering on a hard court.

Aside from this most obvious difference, indoor soccer shoes have a few other unique aspects that separate them from other soccer footwear, like turf soccer shoes. Take a look:

Less padding: Because of the increased hardness of the playing surface, indoor soccer shoes generally tend to reduce padding around the foot arch to a minimum. Too much cushioning gets in the way of precise ball control.
Shock absorption: Conversely, the harsher surface demands more cushioning around the midsole to reduce the impact on the feet, which then gets transferred to the joints.
Enhanced flat-sole rubber grip: To simulate the grippy feel given by the studs on outdoor fields, indoor soccer cleats rely on a specialized outsole to maximize the level of traction players have in indoor conditions.

What is the difference between indoor soccer shoes and regular soccer cleats?

The soles of the two types of shoes mean that they’re designed for different surfaces. Indoor soccer shoes don’t use spikes, which are a hindrance on a hard court. Indoor soccer cleats are also a bit lighter, as they don’t need the added protection against other spiked cleats on a soccer field.

Can indoor soccer shoes be used for outdoor play?

If you play outdoor soccer with indoor soccer shoes, you’re not likely to get much traction, so you’ll end up sliding around a lot. For a casual pickup game among your friends, the type of shoes you wear isn’t as big a deal. But, for a competitive outdoor soccer match, outdoor soccer cleats with studs are essential.

Does Soccer Wearhouse offer any indoor soccer shoes designed for women or children?

Most of our adult indoor soccer shoes are unisex, so they can be worn by men and women. When you pick a favorite style, you’ll see sizing options for both men and women. As for children, you can browse our selection of [youth indoor soccer shoes](https://soccerwearhouse.com/collections/youth-indoor-soccer-shoes) which are housed on a separate page.

How tight should I tie my indoor soccer shoes?

Tie your indoor soccer cleats securely, but not so tight that you’re uncomfortable. You should be able to wiggle your toes without restrictions. If not, you may need a larger pair of soccer shoes. As long as you can move around on the field without feeling restricted, keep trying different tightnesses to discover what makes you more competitive.

What Are Futsal Shoes?

Futsal shoes are specific indoor soccer shoes with a rubber sole. The soles help players stay agile during the game. Futsal is a term used interchangeably with indoor soccer, but the shoe materials are best suited to the hard court surfaces that sports like Futsal are usually played on. They resemble lightweight sneakers, and some types, like Nike Futsal shoes, can even give you better ball control since they have a smaller design.

How Do I Care For Indoor Soccer Shoes?

Cleaning and caring for indoor soccer cleats is similar to caring for outdoor ones. First, you should always check the washing instructions to see what the manufacturer recommends. Cleaning instructions will vary based on what material the shoes are made from, so you'll want to look for these instructions inside the tongue of your shoes. If you can't find them there, check the packaging they came in. You can use a small brush with soft bristles to clean off caked mud or turf. Old toothbrushes are great for this. If you need to hand wash your indoor soccer shoes, use a sponge or cloth, soak it with warm or cold water and soap, and gently scrub around them. The less liquid you use for this, the better. If you get water in your insole while you wash, put something inside your cleats that can absorb the moisture. Keeping the interior of your Futsal cleats dry will help them stay dry and free from any smells.

Do You Need Indoor Soccer Shoes For Indoor Soccer?

Between outdoor and indoor cleats, soccer surfaces dictate which you should wear. They won't function the same, and players could perform poorly or even hurt themselves if they use the wrong footwear. It's best to stick to shoes made explicitly for Futsal or indoor soccer.

What Are The Best Indoor Soccer Shoes?

The best indoor soccer shoes will change depending on what position you play. Attackers will see the best result with shoes with a clean strike zone to get better control over the ball and are lightweight for running. Defending players will want shoes that take more hits, so protection and durability are much more critical. Goalkeepers will benefit from shoes that have extra traction. Other factors are also essential, like the type of material the shoe is made from or how comfortable it is for you. Some shoes have different widths that could make playing difficult, so ensure you’re shopping for ones that fit well and give your ankles enough support. Some brands, like Nike indoor soccer shoes, are well-loved by many players and teams for their performance. There’s also a stark difference between men’s indoor soccer shoes and women’s indoor soccer shoes in terms of comfort and usability, so make sure you’re getting a new pair suitable for your feet.
