      In modern football shoes, the spikes are mainly knife spikes and round spikes. Round spike shoes appeared a long time earlier than knife spike shoes, but now knife spike shoes are very popular, so what is the difference between the two shoes?

      1. The forward feeling of the blade football shoes is very good. The kicker feels very good when sprinting. It feels very light under the feet and the reaction force obtained from the ground is also very large, so the sprint speed is very fast. The feeling of sprinting with round spike shoes is that your feet are very solid and each step is relatively stable. However, the forward feeling is not as good as that of knife spike shoes.

      2. Round spike shoes feel very flexible and solid when turning around, while knife spike shoes don’t feel as smooth as round spike shoes when turning around. Therefore, I feel that for midfielders who are not very fast, round spike football shoes will be more suitable.

      3. The spikes in front of the spiked soccer shoes have a slope. Therefore, for those who play artificial grass, it will be better to wear spiked soccer shoes to kick the ball and pass the ball. The height of the round spikes in front of the round spiked soccer shoes is the same, so the kicking and passing cannot be as smooth as the spiked soccer shoes.

      Summary: Since everyone's physical fitness and technical level are different, they will definitely have different feelings when wearing knife-shaped football shoes and round-nailed football shoes. You still have to rely on your own personal experience to judge what kind of football shoes are suitable for you.
