Soccer boots/cleats

Asked by 43ll0 8 months ago, 5 answers.

What does the MG or FG at the end of a shoe/boot name stand for?

I thought it was for.. Forwards.. or midfielders.. for the first initial.. but am I right?
I'm not sure.

oh yeah! didn't think of that! that's definitly possible.
good.. cause mine had the MG at the end. haha
and I play center forward so, hopefully that's what they mean. I wanted side laces.. or a lace cover. but oh well. I'll see how they work. they were only $40

It refers to the ground type the studs on the sole of your cleats are designed for.

FG - firm ground
SG - soft ground
HG - hard ground
MG - appropriate for most fields.

The difference between all of them is the placement of the studs and the angles they're placed in. Different placement and angles offer better footing.
