#058 Choosing the right football boot with Dr Danyon Loud

Are your boots helping your game or putting you at risk? In this week’s episode of the Women's Football Hub Podcast, Carolyn Kent is joined by Dr Danyon Loud, a football boot researcher and sports engineer from the University of Adelaide, to discuss what really matters when choosing football boots.

We tackle:

• Why many football boots are still designed for male feet

• How stud design affects injury risk, especially for female players

• Whether “speed boots” actually make you faster (spoiler: they don’t)

• How comfort and fit out of the box can reduce injury risk

• Best boots for 3G and 4G surfaces

Whether you're a player, coach, or physio, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you make more informed decisions about boot selection.
