Firm Ground Boots are the most common outsole of football boots in the world because the vast majority of football playing nations do so on firm hard pitches that do not receive enough water to keep them soft.Some manufacturers have over 75% of their boots as firm ground boots because the demand for soft ground football boots is nowhere near as big as firm ground boots.Firm ground boots come in varying outsole designs from traditional 13 stud PU moulded to the newer breed of bladed moulded boots.Both Adidas and Nike who are the two largest football boot manufacturers in the world have a selection of both designs in their ranges.Firm ground boots generally are used in the UK in the early parts of the summer when pre season training commences and in the later stages of the season from March onwards to the completion of the season in early May.
