How many Soccer boots, shoes or cleats should one have?

it really depends on what position you play and how often you play and where you live (variability of the weather), playing as a keeper you would probably only want one pair or two if you live somewhere where the ground may be really wet one day and dry the next (SG or FG) but keepers normally have 6 stud screw ins so only one pair is required

playing defender you will most likely be using 6 stud screw ins so only 1

midfield really depends on your style of play but you will most likely not be using screw ins so if the ground changes a lot where you live you would want more than one pair,

forward is same as midfield

and if you train on that astro turf gravel like shite you would want the moulded things as well

short answer - one, two if you can really notice the difference on different grounds

me personally, only ever used one pair until i grow out of them but that's because i'm only 17 and its not worth me buying more than one pair of boots

i got about 4 nice pairs of cleats.. been playin soccer all my life, one pair of those are indoor though

real men play barefoot

none until you learn that it is called football
