Are your boots helping your game or putting you at risk? In this week’s episode of the Women’s Football Hub Podcast, Carolyn Kent is joined by Dr Danyon Loud, a football boot researcher and sports engineer from the University of Adelaide, to discuss what really matters when choosing football boots.

We tackle:

  • Why many football boots are still designed for male feet

  • How stud design affects injury risk, especially for female players

  • Whether “speed boots” actually make you faster (spoiler: they don’t)

  • How comfort and fit out of the box can reduce injury risk

  • Best boots for 3G and 4G surfaces

Whether you’re a player, coach, or physio, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you make more informed decisions about boot selection.
