Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the importance of cleat type and going above and beyond to really break down all the details when it comes to artificial grass and AG/MG boots. As the father of several boys who spend many hours each week playing football on artificial grass fields, I want to do all I can to reduce the risk of injury. I had no idea how important this issue was before watching your videos. While AG boots are difficult to find near me, I’m glad I can buy some from Unisport! Keep up the great work.
Wht did u buy btw?
So... be honest: do you wear AG or FG boots on artificial grass? /Jay
After getting a knee injury using FG boots on AG, now I only use AG boots on AG and I haven’t had any issues in years. I wish Nike still made an AG stud pattern with more studs on the heel… as a 92kg guy sometimes the 4 studs hurt my heels a bit if you land a little bit too heavily on your heels.
FG, wearing my Copa 20.1s. The studs are half conical but should I be worried and get myself a proper AG right away or will this do for the moment?
I had an fg boot for ag fields, to be specific the adidas copa 19.3 was a mistake, until recently I bought the vapor 15 pro ag-pro best investment of money I made, saved me from being injured plus it was just right in my budget since the pro version is the same as the elite minus the air max unit.
It depend on stud shape some FG boots can play on artificial field such as Asics DS Light, Adidas Copa Mundial, Nike Premier, Mizuno Morelia 2, Mizuno Morelia Neo, Those are circle stud and low shape. If the field good enough you can use some pair in my example list.
@Casual Clarence I think it's better to get an ag specific boot, better now then never and avoid an injury down the road.
Super helpful. We never had much for AG pitches when I played but my boy is now practicing and playing some games on AG now as well as out door so. He likes the Puma Future NJR MG cleats so glad to see they made the list as a reputable pair. Hopefully they still provide him with enough grip on the FG as well. Cheers!
Great video! You brought up all the important points and the different typos pf AG soleplates.
When playing on artificial grass pitches I wear my Vapor 14 Elite AG boots; I like them because they have the same style stud pattern as the Tiempo Legend AG boots that you showed.
Thank you for this video, such an important topic and couldn't agree more with your top 5! I play almost exclusively on AG (older generation one) and the Puma MG stud pattern is by far the best I've ever used on it, and I tried many different AG stud patterns! It would be very nice if also other brands would offer this kind of stud pattern, because now I can only buy Puma boots. Thankfully Puma is releasing very good boots recently, but it's a shame that the other brands are sleeping on this stud pattern with many short studs.
Are they usable on wet and muddy natural grass? Is the grip and traction ok or is it too slippery?
@@Torment_NFS for wet and muddy natural grass you would want at least FG if not SG - AG or MG is then definitely not the right choice.
It depend on stud shape some FG boots can play on artificial pitch such as Asics DS Light, Adidas Copa Mundial, Nike Premier, Mizuno Morelia 2, Mizuno Morelia Neo, Those are circle stud and low shape.
For my opinion if the pitch is good enough (artificial grass high around 5mm or above) you can use some pair in my example list.
I wear vapor 14 ag-pro. Same AG stud pattern as the legend 9’s but on a Vapor. Love them. Glad to see you rate this pattern up there! I’ve worn numerous stud patterns on AG, ended up with pulled hamstrings, and even sore heels from wrong and/or too long of studs. Great message to the consumer with this video
I wear my Tiempo Legend 8 AG when I play on artificial grass, and I love them because it's an already excellent pair of boots plus the appropriate stud pattern for the pitch!
I read that they do get used easier because of artificial grass since they’re made of pure leather is it true?
I wear the mercurial superfly 8s as they have the same stud pattern as the tiempos … I wish the next mercurials go back to that stud pattern
Can you use them on wet and muddy grass or is it too slippery?
Here in the US, it is hard to get AG cleats. As an alternate, I recently got Mizuno Morelia neo 3 beta because it has cornicle studs. So far, I have zero complain about it when I play on the artificial ground (turf). Comparing to another boot of mine, nike mercurial vapor 15 elite, I have less pain on my knee, ankle, and pelvis after match. Although soccer boots from mizuno is expensive, it is worth to buy for the people who are in the same situation with me.
Is it durable on AG? Worried about toe box separation?
I've gotten into football and have been looking at boots to start playing with, and i live in a pretty dry country so this video is perfect!
Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work!
@@A.s.H.e.R. There guys are fr wasting their time
Currently rotating a pair of Superfly 8 AG and Morelia Neo III FG. Both fantastic on AG for me.
If your AG pitch is shallow and not soft enough, you should use TF boots.
In my daily used I would recommend Mizuno for who loves K-leather, soft, smooth and comfy. especially one that made in Japan. In modern days, Brands introduce you artificial materials and the resistance and endurance of its does not last long enough. If you have a chance in the boot store, try one then you will love it.
Great video. I have the current gen superfly ag and the tiempo legend ag. I love the zoom unit as it takes the pressure off the bottoms of the feet and I love the upper of the tiempo. A hybrid of both would make my dreams come true.
How are the superflys on AG? I was looking at them but worried about them causing injuries
Is there a chance you would be able to go into the crucial distinctions between AG and TF boots? I recently just purchased some Tiempo Legend 9 Pro TF boots in hopes to start playing on some local indoor turf pitches and was recommended to go the TF route as opposed to the AG style. I just never got a clear understanding of when/where to choose either AG vs TF. Thanks for the great content by the way!
It depends on the kind of Turf
If it’s very short (like a carpet)you need TF but if it’s more deep like 5mm fake grass go with AG boots
TF boots are okay on cheap, short-bladed AG, *so long as it's dry.* You won't be very explosive out of plants and cuts, but you won't slip, either. Any wet AG pitch is usually going to be a noticeable problem for TF boots. The higher quality the AG pitch, the more problem you'll have.
Indoor AG fields are always dry, obviously, so TF boots should be fine. If it's a high quality AG field (i.e. it has long 'grass' blades), you might consider getting a pair of boots with longer conical studs for the most important matches -- this video's recommendation of Puma MG sole-plates is right on the money -- that sole-plate is basically the perfect middle-ground between a TF boot and an 'aggressive' AG sole-plate.
@@CognizantCheddar also most indoor AG pitches are small and get hammered so are never as deep in feel as those outdoor so sometimes TF can be as good or better choice. Until somtomrs stands on your toe with studs
Tore my rectus femoris last fall and the injury was likely caused over time by playing with FG boots on artificial pitches almost daily for years. Full recovery is 9-10 months and I’m dying to get back to the pitch later this spring. Please, please listen to Jay Mike in this video. Buy AG boots. Prevent injuries. No injury (time away from the beautiful game, physical therapy, money, surgery) is worth playing in FG boots. Just play AG on artificial surfaces, best decision you can make.
Good luck on recovery
I got hurt playing with adizeros many years ago on ag then i switched to regular fg tiempos but the heel was too aggressive (long blades), so i swtiched to copa mundials - not enough grip imo in the rain and i think that is what caused my latest injury. got back to playing after a year bought nike tiempo ag, adidas speedflow .1's ag, but wear my phantom gt elites ag most of the time now. speedflows are junk for protection. been playing on turf for a very long time - i know most kids dont care about stud patterns but when you are in your 30's and everything hurts from playing on turf for so long you will start to care about this stuff. it pisses me off that you can walk into 5 local shops in canada and not one of them would have an ag plate. luckily we can buy shoes these days from unisport or nike directly. wish i had that option when i was young.
@@Anxyte appreciate it boss 🤝
That new balance Ag studs looks simple and works..beauty too
Would love to see your thoughts on the new ASIC Menace 4?
Always love these comparisons videos, good job!
The Puma MG is an amazing boot on artificial turf/ground and i have been constantly using these boots, no complaints at all. Even on hard pitch grounds this Puma MG's are awesome.
Do they run wide?
@noizeuk I'm currently using the Puma Ultra MG. It's a very snug fit for me. But for wider feet go with any Puma Future MG's.
@@rudyjay9980 Thanks! I can't find any Future MG's in stock anywhere in the UK (online)
@noizeuk I bought my Puma Ultra MG online from prodirect, there are a couple of MG's there, not sure if they still have sizes though.
I wish they made more AG boots in youth sizes. So many kids today are playing on artificial surfaces and there are so few options.
I have been wearing FG boots on AG field for the last few years, had three ankle breakers, and after this video will surely get myself a new pair of AG boots, and the best ones as you said are the Puma boots!
Which fg boots did you have
I wear the superfly 8s AG elite pro , they have the same ag studs as the tiempos in this vid. I wish the next mercurials go back to that stud pattern
Yes yes more ag content please
I needed this, thank you unisports
Hi Jay, I've found your videos really helpful and enjoyable. It would be a massive help if you could do a video on TF boots for those that play futsal or football on carpet-like artificial grass fields like myself. Many thanks!
To answer your question Jay: on (flattenden) ag pitches; turf shoes all the way. It is a shame so many of them have a big bumper in the front. There is lot of improvement there.
The 'Pro' versions of Nike's AG boots are always the best value. The Phantom and Mercurial cater for most foot shapes.
Are the two blades on the back of Mercurial AG clingy or aggressive on artificial grass?
@@rrao1128 they are fine tbh.
TURF, Or AG is a must guys. I had the worst ankle sprain due to getting stuck in the ground. 2 months later still recovering.
Just got my son Ultra Pro FG/AG and the studs are sharp! will definitely have him play on grass/dirt first so the studs grind down a bit before using it on AG. I use Future 1.3 FG/AG no problems on AG with the semi conical studs. It's very hard for us to get true AG cleats in the US. idk why we can't get them. For example the only way you can get the merc sole plate is if you customize Nike ID it, otherwise we are stuck with FG.
Isn’t that the weirdest thing? We have so much AG here in the 🇺🇸 we shouldn’t have this many problems buying the correct tooling.
Can we have a top MG boot video, really would appreciate a vid on the topic. I know its very niche. And great video as always
Perfect timing! I’m about to buy new ones
for me at 35 year old am always use AG for long artificial grass that deep amount 5 mm. TF for short artificial grass and I decided to give the Mizuno for both.
AG boots are great, I wish they were easier to get in the US!
I've rolled my ankle too many times using FG boots in my AG training pitch, good thing I need new boots so I can get AG dedicated boots or MG. Injuries are not fun, especially when its because of you and your boots
Love PUMA's, they are doing great boots, especially like correct sizing system
So happy NB gave us the Furon V7 in AG!
After some research I decided to give the Mizuno a try and the quality is just so amazing I wouldn’t expect that for the price!!
If you like leather football boots I would recommend the Morelia neo 3 pro Ag because they feel amazing and controlling and kicking the ball is perfect
Are there light? And I hear there give blisters on heels? I use nike premier 3s FG
@@dannylyons824about the blisters you should try using the runner lacing system
Where did you order them from?
I've worn the puma boots for as long as I can remember and I've got 3 pairs because the new one's are not wide fit and I struggle to get them on and had to buy last year's . Even my 11.5 boots fit better than the 12s from this year
Hey unisport love ur vids . could make a video of how Impress scout cause about to go for trials
superfly 4 techcraft ag (i had 2 pairs i always re-glue..) and sometimes superfly 4 techcraft fg...all time favorite.
Nike premier does perform quite good. Short conical studs and not too much studpressure
Was playing with a pair of Predator Freak.2 fg and I only play on ag I used to be so sore and uncomfortable.Immediately switched to a pair of Tiempo Legend 9 Elite Ag and omg the difference is huge much more safe and stable and sooo comfortable buy ag if you play on ag pitches not worth the risk of injuries.
where do you buy ag?
@@ssjnovan I buy all of mine from prodirect Soccer or Unisport
I bought Morelia Neo III Pro KL Ag two years ago and was shocked to learn that these don't give any stud pressures. EVEN Mizuno Morelia AS gives more pressure to my joints than the AG boots. FA's should require players to wear AG boots on AG fields so that their joints would last longer.
tbh i have always been wearing FG boots on Ag because i didn't know the difference and now i know why i get lots of inguries
ASICS DS Lights AG! Phenomenal boots.
I got the puma future ultimate turf version to play on AG since I live in the US and AG/MG boots are hard to come by. how different is the upper of that compared to the MG? It seems like the price is in line with a teardown
I own both AG and FG adidas speedportals and not only do you get 2 more studs to distribute weight on the AG version but they are shorter especially the last 2 studs at the heel. Most common difference between AG and FG is more studs and shorter on AG boots. I do agree that conical is probably the safest bet for AG.
My mistake one my extra stud on AG version but still shorter length overall.
I would say it's probably safe enough as Adidas would not risk being taken to the court and then the global scandal. Would damage the brand. Isn't all this a bit of marketing too? Selling 2 pairs of boots instead of 1? Just thinking out loud.
@@mifluent Even with bladed Mercurials, the injury rate isn't high enough for a massive company like Nike or Adidas to care from a legal perspective, and it's really hard to prove in court that any injury came down specifically to the boot itself, especially in a sport like football where there's so many variables. From a consumer standpoint, however, even slightly elevated risk of one major injury is enough justification to get proper AG, or at least conical studs.
I would think from a marketing/profit perspective, it would make more sense for them to sell 1 boot, instead of 2 boots that are near as makes no difference. They opening up new tools, extra costs, for what is very much a small difference in the actual product.
Do you think it would be relativly safe to play in FG speed portals on AG since they are very simmilar?
Broke a fibula playing on ag in NB Furon v6 FG … learned my lesson. 6 months recovery
Mizuno Monarcida AG + Comfy insole to swap with the one it comes with. Most value for money combination.
What about TF Boots? Wouldn’t they be the best or at least most injury preventing once? (Assuming you have FG for grass already)
Jay Mike my idol ⚽👍 love your videos
Hello there, your content is amazing.
I wanted to ask how about adidas copa AG version are they good?
Hey Jay, do you think the Adidas Predator Accuracy + are a good idea to use on both FG and AG? been trying to find good boots for both
Mizuno TF TRAINERS since we are primarily on old style 3G. They work really well. I presume you can get Made In Japan AG and I'd love the option but I've never come across them in the UK. Come on Unisport find me a pair please.
Bob 🇬🇧
awesome
What about the old nemeziz soleplate, on the new Copa pure models, they are technical fg/ag if I remember correctly
You're killing me Smalls! I just ordered a pair of Mercs from you guys yesterday. Does this mean you're gonna be restocking sizes soon?
Puma MG are by far the best , i tried a lot of shoes, but man the puma's are just soo good
I exclusively play on AG pitches. I am 30+ and play on 5 or 7 a side sizes pitches. I have the Nike Tiempo AGs, will look at getting the Puma Future Ultimate MG for my next pair.
Does the Tiempo AG give barefoot like playing experience?
I am a barefoot player, im looking forward to play with boots.
@@Zaza_7 If you mean like Nike Mercurial or Puma Ultra type barefoot experience, it doesn't. You're better off with the Mercurial AG, or the Mizuno Alpha AG
@@Zaza_7 I bought the Tiempo for some cushioning infact, so kind of the opposite to Nike Mercurial which I also have. I have narrow feet, and have found my feet slide a little in the Tiempo also, so they seem to be better for wider feet.
Jay please please answer this: Morelia III Pro AG or Tiempo Legend 9 Pro AG-Pro?? I got both boots but I can only keep one, which one would you keep in your opinion??
I tore my meniscus wearing turf(TF) boots on artificial grass with the rubber pellets. I went for a 50/50 challenge with the ball on my right feet. My left foot lost traction and my left knee gave out.
Having too little traction is also a risk for injury. TF is really meant more the carpet-like turf
Puma doesn't sell its MG boots in the US (and I think Canada too) for some reason and it's quite frustrating because the fg/ag they do sell is way too aggressive for artificial grass
Yeah Puma’s FG/AG is pretty much false advertisement, they should just be called FG.
Need this list for TF boots guys 🤘🏻
Yo Jay
Do y’all have the Furon V7 Pro AG in black? I’d even go for a white colorway but that orange is just obnoxious. I only feel comfortable w the tooling on the Phantom GT AG-Pro but these Furons look 🔥
Thanks!
Will
Hi, I fully agree, the Puma is really almost perfect shoe, it is the widest of all shoes having approximately 9,8 cm width of outsole at toe box, too sad this amazing shoe is not available for wider feet in e. g. 10,5 cm or 10,75 cm at outsole at toe box, is there a chance to heat up the shoe to a certain temperature in the oven and try widening the harder material at sole to fit?
I think Puma would do great success offering this shoe in an extra wider version, a lot of people would like it a lot is my guess, I played the shoe for two years with a lot of joy in all situations and had to give it up because overlapping of feet with the outsole... I am sad for this but had no choice... I am playing with soft socks like and missing the perfect grip of Puma mg outsole... Kind Regards Denis
4 mil soon❤
Got my fluorescent yellow Nike Mercurial in sale and love them. AG specific, great when you're of an older age 😂
how much did you get vapor 15 AG for ?
what is the difference between Vapor 15 AG pro and Vapor 15 academy AG boots?
@@Zaza_7 got the elite version for £98 rather than the £215 they should have been. Dropped lucky in an oulet store.
No idea of the difference to be honest, just saw the opportunity to get a top boot at a fraction of the cost. Totally wasted on me 😂
Durability is a major issue with AR. A like the tiempo's a lot, because they have extra protection in the front.
which do you recommend of the Mizuno Morelia Pro AG 3 or 4? Thanks!
What would you recommend for someone that fractured his fibula? The pumas? And should you recommend wearing them with grip socks as well?
Hi Jay, I’m interested in buying a pair of Copa Mundial. I already own a pair of Mundial Team and they’re the best tf boots I’ve ever had: I love the way those old-school, high-quality kangaroo leather boots fit and feel, plus they sell at a fairly cheap price for what you get.
However, since I’ll mostly be wearing them on ag, I’m worried that the studs, despite being conical and less aggressive compared to other boots, might still be too long as they only come in fg setup (or sg for the World Cup, which are obviously out of question).
What do you think about it? I’ve had a look at the Tiempo and the Morelia, but they’re either too expensive or quite hard to find in my size (5/5.5 UK, it depends on how wide they are).
Thanks!
Most people I have seen wear Copa’s have had no issues on AG
bought superfly 9's in AG, they were pretty good till there was a fat crack in the soleplate, after wearing them like 5 times just ordered FG ones instead. Because you cant go wrong, just do good injury prevention and you'll be fine personally.
Same happened to me. The new ag Superfly 9s suck. It happened on both the Nike id and the yellow ones. The fg ones are just fine.
I also had a crack in the soleplate with my Phantom GX AG shoes
@@euro95. thx for letting me know, was thinking about getting those in ag, since the soleplate is slightly different from the mercs, but seems that the phantom also break...
@@armandoluiscaldas2858 Yeah I can recommend not buying Phantom GX AG Pro, although they are so pretty
@@armandoluiscaldas2858 yeah I have the exact same pair and I had the sole plate crack issue, I ordered super fly 9 FGs in the World cup colors and no issues at all except the copper faded away but 100 x better then the AG soleplate. I'm sure the more recent manufactured AG plates are fine
Hey Jay! Love the vids man?
You said the AG Mercurial is gentler when on FG but is it flat out worse than the FG pair on FG pitch? If I’m mostly on FG would you still recommend going AG to cover both pitches?
Cheers!
Yes
Definitely yes! The AG boot will feel less aggressive on FG but is also a tad more comfy. When Neymar was still at Nike he used AG Pro instead of FG or SG. But yeah if you can only get one boot bye play on both FG and AG, go for AG!
Thanks for the tip, I’ll go AG then! I’m a really big fan of these videos and love the super slick presentation, helpful tips and wonderful joyful host. You guys are killing it 👊🏾
AG and FG has a difference stud plate materail, FG harder than AG. Avoid playing on hard ground pitch less grass more sand or rock
I wear FG for AG fields because
1. AG boots are so hard to find in the US
2. Expensive to buy another pair of soccer cleats lol
Eventually when I do have enough saved up for soccer, I'll get myself a pair of AG ones
According to reviews on Unisport, the Mercurials all seem to break under the big toe after a couple of weeks use
I use my Adidas Copas on artificial grass, be great to have a pair that have slightly lower blades for 3g, they do have astro type ones but I'd like a pair in the middle.
Please help me should I buy the new adidas predator accuracy or should choose a Nike boot
A guy in my pickup group just had his FG boots catch in the artificial grass, and he’s out at least six weeks with an ankle injury. Fortunately he doesn’t need surgery.
Hi
These boots all seem to be for juniors and upwards with sizes starting from EU 5 and upwards, which AG boots do you recommend for 8 year old?
I got the Puma Z 3.4 MG cause I feel like they are literally the same as the one you showed on first place but for a cheaper price, am I correct or not?
The Nike Premier 3 are the best AG boots on the market. Best value too.
How did you get those phantom gxs ag? Only the custom ones are ag.
Do these recommendations work for goalkeepers?
Or does he requirement for keepers change what's needed.
are there any old school copa mundials type AG boots. i’m strictly black boots only and i love all the 80/90’s booys
good job
Can you do a Football boot Collection?
You guys should make a book about all the skills
I have seen a lot of negative reviews about the mercurials AG complaining that the outsole "breaks" after a few sessions. For the price of the Elites, I'd expect more durability
Nike football shoes have always been fragile af.
I ordered the vapor 15 Elite AG from Nike Store and the Outsole breaks after 3 Sessions!

Is pro worth the extra money ?
Hey Jay!
I have been looking for a decent pair of Ag boots for a while now. But I’ve come across a lot of HG/AG stud patterns. Would you say these are suitable as well? or would it be better off to just go strictly AG. just asking as they both have conical shaped studs and more of them.
Cheers!
General rule is that HG will have a stiffer outsole, AG will be more flexible.
@@andrewpalmer1873sorry didn’t see this, but thank you 🙏🏽
The Mizuno!!
Is it safe to use AG boots as brand new from 2014/2015? Or does it break quickly because of the age?
Could you do one for 2024? Adidas came up with the 2G/3G version probably after hearing your feedback! Ha!
This mate nearly snaps his ankle for this video. That's extreme commitment.
Can you do one on boots for goalkeepers. Im very unsure on which to but :)
For the #2 Nike Tiempo Legend 9 AG, are they the pro or elite version
quick story here, i had posted this same story about a year back in the comments of another uni video!
i was playing for my state team wearing my fairly new fg boots. i got called for the main team squad, and i decided to play on ag turf with my fg boots.
worst decision of my life. while trying to pass the ball, my boots' studs got caught in the turf; my knee went forward and it hyperextended the wrong way.
tore my acl, and now i need surgery. i wont be able to play football for the next 4 years as im underage to get surgery now. tl;dr, listen to Jay and buy ag boots.
It really depends on the pitch now u can play on most ag pitches with fg boots in france at least been playing in fg for 12 years and nothing ever happened to me
I hope u can recover as quickly as possible
Sorry to hear that bro. Keep going. Listen to David Goggins. He says if he had to stop running he would just focus on swimming or cycling marathons. I would spend the next 4 years focusing on being elite at another sport and then get back to Football. You're still young.
I saw your profile and this seems a fake post. Where are you from and for which team did you play?
@@mifluent Its a well documented thing...this channel and several other high profile channels have done videos about the dangers of FG on AG pitches.
@@npc2k I am not sure if these channels are objective - as they cooperate with brands. Can you send few studies?
