Football boots for female players

F50, Predator, Future: which women's football boot ranges should you choose?

The selection of women's football boots revolves around three main ranges, each designed for a different style of play.

• The adidas F50 range, available in Hyperfast and Elite versions, is built for players who focus on speed and acceleration, featuring a thin and lightweight upper.
• The adidas Predator range, in League, Elite, or Pro versions, prioritizes ball control and shot accuracy, thanks to the specially designed contact zones on the upper.
• The Puma Future 9, available in Playmaker and ADV versions, is aimed at players seeking a good balance between foot support and freedom of movement.

What type of studs to choose based on the pitch?

The choice of studs mainly depends on the type of pitch you play on most often.

FG (Firm Ground) boots are designed for firm natural pitches, which are the most common in clubs. AG (Artificial Ground) versions are suitable for synthetic pitches, with shorter and more numerous studs to reduce pressure on the joints. Some models are also available in FG/MG, a multi-ground base that works for mixed or slightly uneven surfaces. If you're unsure about your club's ground, it's best to check the type of pitch before choosing the soleplate.

Completing your player gear

Beyond boots, Foot-Store offers several pages to equip players from head to toe.

• Team shirts to wear the colours of your club or favourite team.
• Training shirts and tops for sessions outside of matches.
• Training pants and training tracksuits to complete your training outfit.
• Goalkeeper gloves for players in goal.
• Accessories to finish your gear.

All these pages are grouped, along with football boots, in the Women's category on the site.

Where to find good deals on women's football boots?

Foot-Store compiles its promotional activities on dedicated pages, which can be checked according to the time of year.

The Black Friday and year-end holidays are often opportunities to refresh your gear before the new season. The winter sales, followed by the French Days in spring, also allow you to watch for price drops on current ranges. Outside of these periods, the women's promos, clearance, and good deals pages remain accessible all year round, just like the new arrivals page to spot the latest models added to the catalogue and the 24h delivery page for items available quickly.

How to choose the right size for women's football boots?

The size of a football boot should be chosen considering the type of socks and shin pads worn in matches, which add volume to the foot.

Boots with a thin upper, like those in the F50 range, are worn close to the foot and may benefit from being taken in half a size up if you’re used to wearing wider shoes. Models with a more enveloping fit, like the Predator, are closer to regular sizes. If you're unsure between two sizes, it's better to refer to the size guide for the chosen model rather than your usual city size.

Frequently asked questions

Can FG studs be worn on a synthetic pitch?

Technically yes for short durations, but they will wear out more quickly and provide less grip than AG studs designed for synthetic surfaces. It's best to reserve FG for natural pitches and AG for synthetic ones to preserve the sole.

Are women's football boots different from men's boots?

At adidas and Puma, women's football boots are based on the same technical fit as men's versions, in a suitable range of sizes. The cut and fit remain the same, only the availability of sizes may vary from one model to another.

Should football boots be changed every season?

No, a pair in good condition can last several seasons if the studs and sole are not worn. The need for replacement depends mainly on the wear of the model and how well it suits the pitch, rather than a fixed schedule.

How can you tell if a boot is suitable for a narrow or wide foot?

Some ranges, like the adidas Predator, offer a more enveloping fit suited to wide feet, while the F50 ranges are designed for a closer fit. The product sheet for each model usually specifies the recommended fit type.

Are the Predator League and Predator Elite boots identical?

No, these two versions belong to the same Predator range but differ in their tier and some construction details, such as the materials used on the upper. You should compare the product sheets to know the specific differences between the two models.
