Summer is very much over, at least around our part of the world. Autumn is soon going to be winter and the indoor season is right on the doorstep. We kick it in by looking at all the right equipment to make you well prepared.
Welcome inside. This time around we are not out in the fresh air, but we have moved indoors. It is time to take a look at all the equipment needed when you are looking to pack your bag for some indoor football.
Indoor football is a proud tradition and absolutely one of the highlights of the winter. The pitch becomes a smaller court, the grass becomes a wooden floor, and the goals shrink quite a bit. Now it's time to prove that you have the technique and skill to prove yourself in this different environment. You have quite a number of options when it comes to deciding on an indoor shoe, and that is exactly what we are going to look at now.
One of the markets most colourful and interesting shoes is this Nike Elastico Finale II with it's fresh purple and volt colourway that is a part of the Hi-Vis collection and will shine even stronger than the sharpest indoor spot lights. It is a shoe made to create the game and never lose control of the ball.
The Elastico Finale comes with an upper made of NikeSkin, and the forefoot is made of 2 layers of PU cover that strengthens the entire area, and in the opposite end of the shoe around the heel you find a mesh area, which ensures that your feet are cooled optimally. The result is a shoe that will perform on the court, even when a match gets really hectic you can count on this shoe.

With the arrival of the Hypervenom we have seen a lot of Mercurial supporters make the change to the new silo. But others are still faithful to the ultimate speed, which is found in Nike's Mercurial series. You can also bring the speed indoors with this Nike Mercurial Victory IV IC, that is developed from the same successful formula as we know from the Vapor IX.
The sole is made of a strong TPU material, that provides good stability and facilitates your acceleration. It is not just on the grass pitch that a good kick-off to your acceleration is decisive for your speed, and if you are the kind of player who enjoys racing past your opponents, then why not also to this indoors in this Nike Mercurial Victory IX.

If you say indoor, then you also have to say Adidas Spezial. They may not rhyme, but there is hardly an indoor game without the Adidas Spezial, which is the best selling indoor shoe worldwide. And that is not without a reason, as Adidas have managed to find a formula to deliver a shoe that could dictate the indoor courts ten years ago, still can today, and probably also will be able to into the future.
What makes the Adidas Spezial, so special, has got to be its comfort and touch. It has a suede upper that adapts to your foot and is also thin enough to give you natural close touch on the ball. In addition it makes the shoe super flexible and comfortable to wear. Moreover, the sole is made to provide the grip needed, even when doing quick twisting and turning.

Whether you are playing outside or indoors, it is essential that you do not slip and slide around in your shoes. No matter how good your shoes are, if you are not able to get a proper grip and a stable stance, it doesn't matter. Therefore it is important, also indoors, to remember the brilliant Trusox, that come in a wide variety of colours. Trusox are created to put an end to some of the most permanent problems for footballers; slipping and sliding in the boots, resulting in blisters, and energy waste. Trusox are equipped with little non-slip pads, that improve the friction between foot and sock, as well as sock and boot. Hereby you can avoid slipping and sliding about in your boots, and will therefore be able to wave goodbye to the constantly annoying blisters.
