Mexico Away Jersey 2026

FG stands for Firm Ground. These cleats are generally designed for firm natural-grass fields. Their stud patterns are intended to provide traction on that surface.

AG stands for Artificial Grass. These cleats are designed for compatible artificial-grass pitches. They often feature more numerous, shorter studs to distribute pressure across the sole.

Always check the manufacturer’s surface recommendation for the exact model. Stud shape alone does not confirm compatibility.

• You play on a well-maintained, firm natural-grass field: FG is generally the appropriate category.
• You play on a modern artificial-grass field with long synthetic blades and infill: look for AG cleats approved for that surface.
• You play on short, carpet-like artificial turf: TF/turf shoes are often the more suitable category.
• You play futsal on a smooth indoor court: choose indoor-court shoes with a flat outsole, usually marked IC or IN.

Do not assume every FG model is suitable for artificial grass. Some manufacturers approve certain models for multiple surfaces, while others do not. An unsuitable outsole may grip differently, feel uncomfortable, or experience excessive wear.

Use FG cleats on artificial grass only when the manufacturer explicitly approves the exact model for that surface.

Some models may be approved for both surfaces, but AG does not automatically mean natural-grass compatibility. Check the manufacturer’s guidance. Wet or soft natural grass may require a different outsole.

FG/AG generally indicates a model intended for both firm natural grass and specified artificial-grass surfaces.

MG means Multi-Ground. It refers to an outsole designed for more than one surface, but the approved surfaces vary by model.

Neither label means the shoe is suitable for every field or court.

No. AG cleats are generally intended for compatible longer-pile artificial-grass pitches. TF shoes typically have many small rubber studs for shorter artificial turf.

For example, a long-bladed outdoor synthetic soccer field and a short, carpet-like training surface may require different footwear.

No. Some listings use “indoor” to describe where a game is played rather than the playing surface.

An indoor facility may have a smooth court or artificial turf. Choose footwear based on the surface, not whether the field is indoors or outdoors. Check the outsole description and photos before ordering.

Studded soccer cleats are not designed for concrete or asphalt. Hard surfaces can damage the studs and provide unsuitable traction. Choose footwear specifically designed for the surface.

Cleats should feel secure without painful pressure. Your heel should stay comfortably in place, and your toes should not be compressed against the front.

Try them on with the socks you normally wear for soccer. Do not rely on a tight pair stretching enough to become comfortable.

Use the size guide for the exact model rather than assuming your everyday shoe size will match. Fit can vary between brands and models.

Confirm whether the listed sizes are US men’s, US women’s, UK, or EU before ordering.

A higher collar changes the fit and feel around the ankle, but it should not be treated as an ankle brace or a guarantee against injury.

Choose a comfortable fit and seek professional advice if you need footwear guidance for an existing injury.

Included accessories vary by product. Check the individual listing rather than assuming a bag, box, or other accessory is included.

Remove loose dirt after use and clean them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Let them air-dry away from direct heat. Avoid a washing machine or tumble dryer unless the manufacturer specifically permits it.

Before ordering, identify your playing surface and check the exact model’s outsole specification. If the listing is unclear, ask for clarification rather than choosing by appearance alone.
