Resumen de The Influence of Soccer Shoes on Kicking Velocity in Full-Instep Kicks

Thorsten Sterzing, Ewald M. Hennig

• Soccer shoes enhance the traction required by the stance leg but decrease the quality of the ball contact during full-instep kicking. Shoe features that influence ball velocity include traction, foot protection, foot rigidity, and toe box height. Upper material and general comfort potentially affect ball velocity. In contrast, shoe weight and outsole stiffness do not influence ball velocity
