Due to the increasing career ending injuries experienced by footballers when they are on the pitch, an inquiry is being conducted on the possibility of the boots being responsible for the career ending injuries. What is being investigated is the effect of the modern blades to this injuries compared to the normal original studs that were often being used
The investigation considered the match between Manchester united and the rangers where one of Manchester united player Antonio Valencia got his bone broken when he was involved in a tackle with a ranger's defender, Kirk Bradfoot. After different replays of the video clip of the match, it was clearly seen that the challenge that Bradfoot made on Antonio was not hard enough to enable the bone to break and even have it protrude out of the skin, in fact it was a light tackle.
When you consider the turf that is being used currently it is said that the turf is more stiff and strong compared to the one that was being used before, hence the grass or the soil cannot interfere with it making it more risky especially if you combine the turf with the modern studs that are being used these days.
For stability on the ground while playing it is good to use the traditional circular stud, because they are more stable and firm on any ground, but because most players love to run with speed, they mostly prefer the bladed designs.
The main problem is, the sponsors who sponsor the big teams recommend the type of shoes each player is supposed to wear without necessarily putting into consideration their stability.
Different professional companies have come up with designs that involve a combination of the circular studs with the blades without necessarily doing research on their impact in the playing field.
Nike one of the shoe manufacturing company has been able to put all these into consideration and in fact the boots that they are manufacturing right now are of better quality compared to the others that they were manufacturing before, they have been able to blend the two in order to be able to come up with the outline that can enable you to be stable and at the same time move with speed.
Even though manufacturers are trying to make the boots lighter and lighter, none is putting into consideration the effects of the injuries that might arise from such kind of shoes.
