- FG boots on AG pitches - why it's dangerous and why you should try to avoid it. In today's video, JayMike tackles one of the most frequently asked questions; can you use FG boots on AG pitches, and what happens if you DO wear FG boots on artificial grass? Here, JayMike will explain why wearing FG boots on artificial grass pitches is dangerous in terms of injuries, and why AG boots are made to prevent those injuries by rotating better in the ground. Also, JayMike will explain why you lose your warranty by FG boots on artificial grass pitches, and why that's not the case when you wear AG boots on normal grass pitches.

@ everyone asking about FG/AG boots:
We've seen FG/AG boots from adidas before and right now both the PUMA Ultra and FUTURE Z is FG/AG. *It's basically an FG boot that has the warranty of an AG boot.* In other words, you don't lose your warranty by wearing FG/AG boots on artificial grass, but they're just as unsafe to use as normal FG boots are. Go full AG is my best advice. /Jay
What is your take on a multiground boot JayMike?
@@lucian860 the best option is to buy different shoes
@@francois8770 You rate its best to acquire a pair of FG, SG, AG and MG boots to be prepared for any setting. Okay, then a boot collection is vital.
@@lucian860 it depends on your objectives and how often you play football. If you play to have fun juste buy 2 boots for the surfaces you are used to play. If you play competitions or aspire to be football player, yes you have to invest in yourself and thats a need to have the right boots for the right ground
@@francois8770, Thank you. I appreciate the advice.
here to share my story:
i am a semi-professional player at a club, and I used to wear FG-boots on AG pitches although I knew that it was a bad idea; I never really thought that I would actually get hurt because of "too much grip". However, 6 weeks back I jumped up to head the ball away, and I landed on one leg, and I tried to accelerate away towards the ball... leg got caught in the turf and caught an ACL tear, and some meniscus inflammation.
Threw my old boots out, got new ones and after 6 long weeks came back to the pitch. And, in this 6 weeks, I lost the opportunity to play for the professional squad.
Moral of the day: listen to JayMike and don't wear FG-boots on AG-pitches.
what is the name of the team?
You recovered from an ACL tear in 6 weeks?!
@@Monaleenian he is God
@@Monaleenian he probably just sprained it. no way ACL tears heal in 6 weeks.
@@Monaleenian yep. had to do extensive physiotherapy everyday
AG - artificial grass
FG - firm ground (natural grass)
SG - soft ground (rainy muddy natural grass)
TF - turf ground (similar to AG but different, turf grass is much shorter than AG grass)
MG - multi-ground (can wear them to different grass)
Advice: don't wear FG to any artificial grass ground, 2017 I suffered level 3 lateral meniscus torn because the FG boots stucked too deep and firm into the ground, my body turned around and my left knee did not. Ouch. Took me 3 years to recover and play properly but will never be at 100% again. Only if I knew...
what about MG?
@@Mb.groovy mixed ground
what about flexible ground boot?
Whats the biggest different of AG and TURF? Does turf has less grass volume and shorter grass?
AG has a lot of plastic pebbles, Turf has no plastic pebbles. @@theaskingman
100% true, but hard to resist the traction of FG when sprinting on AG surfaces. For a while FG boots were causing me ankle and knee soreness, switched to AG boot for a year, pain went away but I didn't have the explosiveness of FG boots..my happy medium, FG only on match day, and turf boots for all training and pickup games.
I’ve seen games on artificial pitches where it’s all FG speed boots lol
what if i use none of those and instead use turf boots
we do the same.. good luck my friend
@@deadman8617 i guess just hope it doesnt rain
@@skeletor716 rain does not do shit on astro turfs or street ... i havenot played much on grass so ik its different but dont most of the stadiums got fake grass
Let's be clear: YES, you CAN wear FG boots on AG pitches and get away with it - but IF you get unlucky, the risk of injury is just higher than if you wear AG boots. Just keep it in mind. If you play on BOTH FG and AG pitches and can only get one boot, we recommend that it's an AG boot to be on the safe side - both in terms of injuries and warranty! /Jay

My whole team and I are playing on AG pitch while wearing FG boots for 10 years now. Rotation of the knee happend only once... So i am not really sure about this video but still thank you for the info.
@@umarm8836 yes really we need that
@Kang Sok Yun yes the same question I have
@@prathameshghuge5162 Firm Ground and All Ground
Impending sports Physio & lifelong soccer player and trainer here: I fully support this video wear the right boot on the pitch like our boy Jay says. Stay away from acl, meniscus tears and ankle sprains! They’ll have an annoyingly long recovery and rehab time so the cash for AG boots is a tiny cost compared to the time, effort and mental energy you give to rehab
nowhere where i live has ag boots
@@ImSigmaFr order online?
@@xXxALeXFuTexBaLxXx always sold out
@@xXxALeXFuTexBaLxXx yea true north america doesnt have any ag available - you can buy tiempo elites for $330 from nike canada. wish adidas made them available so we didnt have to buy from prodirect or unisport - shipping costs are crazy
@@allforone1983 I’m in Canada and I bought some ag Vapor’s from Nike Canada and they have tiempo pros for 170 I have a friend that just got some and some other models in takedown quality for ag boots it is possible. Sadly adidas is a little tougher I agree
Unisport are so consistent, I love it
Word this is the first video I watch in 3 years and it feels like I never left
1000000% agree with this! I tore my ACL because I was wearing FG vapors on artificial grass. I was sprinting and went up for a header. When I landed on my right leg first I felt my cleat get stuck on the AG. My momentum kept my body moving forward while my right leg remained stuck on the AG and then SNAP! There went my ACL :( ACL rupture is one of the worst injuries anyone can have. So please, I beg you all to wear AG shoes when playing on AG. Avoid being injured like I did by just wearing the appropriate cleat.
Same here. Back then I didn't know this ffs😭
How long does it take to recover from ACL injury bro
same happened tome excpet my foot got stuckin when tring to cross the ball and there went my acl
@@itssoko4993 depends on how bad the ligament tear is, but usually several months
Very few pros wear AG boots they rather use FG boots on artificial turf. The risk of injury is larger but by a really tiny margin (at least that's what recent research show).
I wear AG on everything. Less stress on knees, ankles, and muscles.
Great idea!
Can we bring a video of shoes to pick up in artificial turf
Y'all are helping us to improve a lot❤
I've been wearing Nike Tiempo HG (hard ground made for the Asian market) which has conical studs almost identical to AG studs. Have worked beautifully.
This was SO MUCH FUN to watch. Thank you!
Thank you for a new video,UNI sports
Thanks for the explanation. I will try to pick AG boots going forward!
Oh my gosh, I've been buying a lot of FG cleats during the last years, and have been playing on AG surface. That’s the answer to my knee soreness. Now, I will need to buy an AG pair.
Thank you for this video it really answered all my questions. You have got yourself a new subscriber 👍
Learned a lot today thanks Mike.
Very important video. I tore my acl this way and it’s been a long road ever since
Thanks for the tips
Thanks for the info
I wear the Predator freak.1 low in FG but noticed there was too much grip on AG so got myself a pair of the conical Nike Phantom Vision. They really make a difference on lowering the stress on my knees and ankles
Nice video, bro 👍👍thank you
Why I haven’t seen this video 4 weeks earlier …
Exactly what you said my shoe stocked in the grass and my knee turned…
But thanks :) now when I’m fit again I’ll try the other ones
To get a proper AG soleplate in the US, I had to use the Nike By You service and pay full price, plus a little extra. I spent $305 on Phantom Visions with the AG-Pro tooling two years ago. I could have got a standard FG version for half as much, but it’s worth it to be safe.
How those boots are holding up now?
@@ashokadhingra156 Still in good shape. I wore them for our first Autumn pickup game on turf last Saturday. The prices are a little bit lower now if you want to get a Phantom GT or Mercurial with AG tooling.
@@Feanaro5503 Thanks Buddy, since I am in India i don't have an option to buy exclusive AG soleplate so was planning to use Nike by you service
But the price is bomb
Your videos are so useful
I’m currently alternating between AG pro tiempos and TF tiempos. I only play on AG. No issues with either pair. Don’t really have a preference either
I remember when I was 8, studs all year round. What a time to be alive. Rock hard British summers, sloppy British winters. Shocking.
One can only hope the boot manufacturers will hear you and make more AG variants...
I liked the grip that I get from FG with grip socks, and that’s why I used them the whole time on AG surfaces. Sadly because of too much grip I broke my fibula during a game and I have not being able to walk for about three months. My plan is to recover and get my AG boots to get back to the pitch.
I play exclusively on AG. You get perfectly fine traction with the AG stud patterns offered from adidas and Nike. I just wish they were more readily available in the US!
Prodirect is your friend, friend. :)
@@AttackMyClone They won't ship most Nike products to the US, but I've found eBay to be a better friend =)
I pulled my quad using fg boots in a turf match. The worst part was that I passed the ball with my weaker foot and once I landed, it popped. It was completely unexpect.
It's worth paying some extra money for the service of not being injured, because if it happens, Your out for a while (painfully) and probably at a very inconvenient timing, always prioritize Your health & playability.
1 of the main problem is that AG plates are not widely available
Pwolli video, man!🔥 helful
This video is so true. I bought the Predator Freak+ in FG and wore them on AG. The grip was noticable from the start. About my 10th game in I planted my foot on a turn and my knee just snapped. Tore my ligaments and out for a year.
Get well soon 🙏🏻
@@erhanmeric3708 Thanks. The updated scan results is an ACL full tear and torn cartillage. Surgery required to ever play sports again. Crazy that such a small thing so easily overlooked can have such damaging consequences. I've never had a serious injury in my life until this.
@@nparky1989 wow that’s so unfortunate, thankfully I also haven’t had a serious injury but I still play with FG boots on AG surface, I guess I better buy new AG boots. I hope you recover soon and safely.
And Predator freak have very "conical" like stud patter, studs are minimal compared to Speedflow blades
Similar here. I tore my meniscus to 3 degree damage and almost need a surgery. Took me 5-6 years to feel 90% recovered.
Ok thanks fo the advice
Thanks for your opinion
thank you so much for this video. Coming from someone who has has 2 knee injuries, blades could be very dangerous.
copa mundials at half the price of new ag's - copas have better stronger leather than a tiempo elite ag (i have and use both) another bonus with the copas is that they have rivets, negative on the copa heel lockdown is garbage unless grip sock helps but def nowhere close to a modern day ag lockdown. great vid as always. wish adidas north america made ag available. i rarely see a player with ag boots in canada
10CM twist fracture on my left ankle in July pretty much as a result of wearing FG pattern on artificial grass pitch 100% felt my foot stuck in the ground as the rest of my leg went the other way. Will be buying some AG boots after Xmas
Damn, that really sucks! Hope you're back playing soon. /Jay
@@unisport back in the gym running and getting strength and cardio back first game back will be 2nd week in December so can’t wiat
Love your vid
I used predator fg on ag, got this weird internal boil/blister that was so bad I couldn't walk for 3 days. Happened twice. Must have been because the studs were too long, so they were hitting the concrete part underneath of the pitch. Must have been crazy stud pressure
watched the whole thing and i agree but cant give up change of pace
Usually I play in Astros on normal grass because you dont ruin the grass and they can be worn on both grass and astro. But sometimes i do wear my studded boots if it is muddy (I'm in the UK)
i had played with SG anti clog phantom venom cleats on a AG pitch 4 times but thank god something didint happen
my son plays in college, we've been getting AG boots from Unisport as they don't have them in the US! Excellent investment in his health
Torn my acl for the exact same reason, had to hang boots up at 28, listen to him, he knows what he’s talking about
Thanks you sir Jay
You can get hard rubber, AG studs for SG boots. They are much lower than SG studs and the grip is just right for the surface and the ball.
Great video Jay, I noticed I was getting really bad back aches training with FG boots on AG surfaces weekly and not once did it cross my mind that it might be the boots I'm wearing. Looking up some nice AG boots right now.
Have you made the switch yet? Noticed I was getting bad back pain the last game I played. Got a set of FG phantom elites
Honestly, AG boots are perfectly fine for artificial grass when in dry weather. However, in the UK where it rains 90% of the time, I much rather prefer using FG boots on artificial grass as I prefer having solid grip on rainy turfs for both explosiveness and quick change of direction.
I’ve noticed you using fg on ag fields too haha. Seriously I have both types because it makes a huge difference on the different field surfaces and I need all the help I can get.
So using fg on ag is fine?
@@raeyon725 not a great idea. Too much traction and you won’t be able to slide you’ll just catch the turf and injure yourself. If there are conical studs (non bladed) that will work, but if it’s most blades studs, I wouldn’t recommend
@@raeyon725 you can use AG on grass, but the traction isn’t there, but at least there are no safety concerns going down this path.
Bro here in America we don’t get all the different choices of stud patterns, it’s either turf or fg, but in America we got mostly artificial fields with a few natural grass ones. Is it really worth it to buy two different stud patterns?
My boots are made for grass and artificial grass as it says FG/AG on the box. But thanks for the insight tho 🙏🏻
Can you make a video on Artifical grass vs Turf. What shoes to use and Difference in the ground.
I have 3 pairs of soccer cleats, 2 FG and 1AG. I like FG and always wear them with no problem at all and they look better than AG. But I have to agree that AG does give you less stress.
soccer cleats😑😑😑
Look better? Who cares about looks, stay safe
@@norrmanrickardjr1251Correction, Football boots😂
I fully support this video, I ruptured my patella tendon (snapped the tendons attached to the knee cap), while wearing the PUMA ultras on artificial turf. Long story short if I was wearing AG cleats, it wouldn't have happened.
Aren't the Ultras FG/AG ( as Puma says)?😅
@@roOoDz Yes, you are allowed to play on AG with them, you won't lose your warranty...
It's basically an FG boot that has the warranty of an AG boot. In other words, you don't lose your warranty by wearing FG/AG boots on artificial grass, but they're just as unsafe to use as normal FG boots are. Go full AG is my best advice. /Jay
Thank unisport for knowledge 😊😊😊😊
I always play with safe shoes 😊😊😊
thats good..
thanks a lot
I think this is why I have been having ankle problems because I make so many sharp turns it hurts my ankle and been causing be injuries so purchased some ag should be coming soon
@unisport I have question what kind of boots do you use on a hard surface? Thanks i love your videos?
Well 2:15 i have experienced.. it was the cause of me breaking my ankle on AG field wearing FG boots.. my foot was simply planted in the ground while i turned my body
I actually dont feel much of a different but I always use my Adidas Copa Mundial in any sort of field and Alhamdulillah I never had any injuries
Yeah, the Copa Mundial is definitely, uhm, less risky to use on AG due to the conical studs - but you still lose your warranty. /Jay
@@unisport true.. thanks for the reply Jay.. I live in a 3rd world country so there is no warranty like you mentioned.. Is the warranty meaning from the shop that I buy for replacement? or is it the longevity or the age and how long before the shoes break?.. Just want to clarify. thank you very much and have a good day :)
@@noenamfam which country
What’s the experience using mizuno fg boots on ag surfaces? The studs are circular yes but are they too long?
Thanks boss
👍👍👍 Thanku bro to give me this best advice for stud
I use metal studs on artificial gras and it has not warn down so wear them on anything
👌
👍
Everywhere #Unisport love it ❤😍
I believe that it’s true,I got pain a lot because of the wrong cleats
if only i found out this video earlier. i suffered a shin fracture after being tackled while stopping a rebound. i lost my balance and usually i would fall on the ground. instead the pivot foot got stuck firmly and the twisting momentum + me sitting on my pivot leg got me into a bad injury. will defo change to a AG boots in the future
😢 feel u bro
HI. can you make a video where you analyze the difference between ag and fg on the new predators?
I see a fairly similar sole
I tore my ligament once because I made this mistake and ended up with a foot cast for 2 months, don't make the same mistake and by AG shoes if you play on AG pitches.
Sprained my MCL today whilst waiting for AG boots to arrive. Find yourself some AG ones
I did this and I didn’t know it was wrong and I got injured. A partial avulsion fracture
That’s how I tore my knee, the grip on vapor 13 elite too grippy😌
It really helped
Thanks @unisport / what about TURF / (TF shoes? On AG pitches)
accurate analysis
Really need Mizuno to be watching this. Scant options from them with regards to AG which is a crying shame. Love their stuff.
Bob 🇬🇧
Yeah Mizuno AG boots would be a great thing to have on the European market. /Jay
With AG boots/shoes. I feel like i would prefer less grip and risk slipping on my rear end.
Is there a selection with lower studs/pattern to allow that moreso than others?
and here I am watching this video after having an ACL injury while playing with the rubber turf sole. #sadlife
Damn bro that’s a long recovery
Recover soon bro 💪💪
If I had only encountered this video 4 years back 😂💔. 100% true. I tore my ACL for LA Galaxy tryout for the same reason.
What was the opinion on sg boots replacing with plastic conical studs?
lolz... so true, I didn't even know until my coach told me. So much better with the correct plate.
Yup he’s right. Sprained my hamstring and twisted my knee.Switched straight away to AG boots. Don’t risk it!
Very true...I used FG boots on AG pitch...and got a twisted knee
Hope you have a speedy recovery! /Jay
@@unisport yeah thx
Thank you 🙏🏼 I am from united state. Is there any other way I can buy AG boots from Unisport? Because it says those boots cannot be shipped outside Europe at Unisport when I tried several times. 😫🤔
Thanks alot , can you bring a video about boots to play in artificial turf ?
AG is artificial grass, so it is the same thing as artificial turf. He explains it in the video btw
No wonder I got 0 playing time. I was using FG on AG pitches and 1 minute into the game my feet were already burning. I Get subbed out, confidence slowly plummets ):
I have a question, i have a nice pair of adidas world cup cleats (sg boots) i found rly nice tpu fg studs that are significantly smaller and softer that fit on the boot. If i put those on instead of the metal studs can i play on fg surfaces?? I dont play in a league just for fun with friends but i might play for my high school soon. I just dont want to get injured
Kindly suggest what type of boots to use on a natural ground without grass. Thanks.
had my first game after 4 month this weekend, cause i injured myself with fg on ag
I never found AG boots sold in Indonesia, although there are so many AG pitches here.
What's an all-round good boot for turf, and also Sunday football on a wet playing field??
You should now make Top 5 boots for ag pitches in 2021
I bought a pair of AG cleats after watching this but can you explain why AG cleats would be good if you were gonna use them on a grass pitch?
2 days ago I bought my first boots and with little knowledge and want start training. right now I am playing on AG so I asked a professional about the boots. he recommended me the boots that have kind of straight and curved with couple circle studs, so I suppose that they are the FG boots. as a newbie I trust him and I bought them. I haven't experienced any major difficulties turning but I absolutely trust you. Can you recommend me what do I do and should I be scared for my ankles? If this helps I bought my boots in Football-mania store that feature a lot of your products like the socks and more. I live in Croatia so I don't know if it helps?
Las Mizuno Morelia neo 3 Beta FG son seguras para pasto artificial ?? He visto.muchis videos que usan ese zapato FG
This is true frl, I’ve just found this out like a month and a half ago. Not only your knees, but your ankles too. My ankles feel loose and real uncomfortable.
