As much as the early firm ground soccer cleats were mostly set in a low top design, the trend in soccer is gradually changing with modern cleats showing off innovative collars and sock-like constructions that stretch up to the ankle. These mid top firm ground soccer cleats are specifically crafted to provide better support over the ankles. The higher cut also allows for a more locked in fit as well as improved stability when playing on firm ground surfaces.
Best mid top firm ground soccer cleats - November 2019
Upper
Typically built with an ankle-high sock-like design, mid top firm ground soccer cleats are usually equipped with synthetic or leather uppers that give an ample amount of stretch and suppleness. Different brands have come up with their own set of upper technologies that complement the slip-on construction of most modern-day mid tops. The most notable of these include Adidas’ Primeknit and Techfit technologies that allow for maximum flexibility and support for the foot.
Outsole
The base of mid top firm ground soccer cleats is usually made of lightweight and durable compounds like Pebax or TPU (thermoplastic urethane). When it comes to their stud pattern, these soccer cleats are fitted with strategically positioned bladed studs, which can be molded or removable. These studs deliver the necessary traction to execute quick directional changes on natural grass pitches.

Frequently asked questions
What is best used when playing on natural grass, low cut or mid cut firm ground soccer cleats?
The answer actually depends on a player’s personal preference and comfort. Some athletes might prefer a cleat that frees up the ankles, allowing for maximum mobility. In that case, he or she can go for low top firm ground soccer cleats. On the other hand, those that might want added protection and stability might opt for mid top firm ground soccer cleats. When picking cleats to use for the firm ground, a player’s comfort should be top priority.
I am used to wearing low tops when playing on natural grass. What difference can I expect from mid top firm ground soccer cleats?
When you are used to wearing low tops, mid top firm ground soccer cleats may feel a bit bulky at first try. The extended sock might take some time to get used to, especially the added contact surface around the heel and ankle area. Advisably, it is best to do a proper break-in when using mid tops for the first time in order to prevent any injuries. Once you get used to it, you will begin to appreciate the added stability and lockdown it offers.
