What Are The Best Kicking Shoes?

When I was in high school I spent hours researching kicking cleats trying to find what the best kicking shoe is and figure out the differences between all of them! Finally after becoming friends with NFL kickers and talking to guys around the league and other college teams I finally found out what works best. It was a long trial and error process of testing out several cleats and combinations until I finally found the "proven winners." I hope this article helps you find the best kicking shoe for you!

Hands down, more pros and people serious about kicking and playing soccer use the Adidas Copa Mundial soccer cleats. I used "Copas" throughout my college career and it is still the most preferred kicking shoe among specialists in the NFL. Watch any NFL game and you will see one out of every few kickers or punters wearing them. Adidas Copa Mundial soccer cleats are of the highest quality and made in Germany. Both Kickers and Punters can benefit from kangaroo leather soccer cleats like the Copas.

The other popular kicking shoe is the Nike Tiempo Legend soccer cleat which is also made from kangaroo leather. There are a few versions of the Legend cleat since Nike updates their models ever year. In 2010, the most current is the Nike Tiempo Legend II and Nike Tiempo Legend III with the original Nike Tiempo Legend availability dwindling down.

Why do I recommend these cleats?

Doug and Tommy's Frequently Asked Questions: "Does the size of a kicker's foot affect his kicking ability (soccer style)? In other words is there an optimal foot size for kicking a football relative to the size of the football? Do kickers with smaller feet have an advantage, or is it the other way around? Am I at a disadvantage with an 11 1/2 foot or not? Can I overcome this, if so, how? Should I switch to toeing the ball?" -- Click here to read our answer
