I've never worn turf shoes, but those who do have told me that they're just as grippy as cleats when it's dry. Unfortunately, for spring league, you can't count on dry.
Yeah, I think the cleatless one has seen the light.
cleats are defintely the way to go(over say running shoes) because they allow for quicker cuts and better support for the ankles when cutting. they also play alot better in wet conditions.
as for turf v. soccer, i think at the most recent game played in the mud, someone mentioned how much turf shoes collect mud and hamper sharp cuts. just a thought.
over the ankle turf shoes are nice because they have great support, and if you are a big teddy bear like stu, you just roll out the white football cleats.
most of us wear whatever we find most comfortable, so there is a healthy mix of all of the above. However, cheap soccer cleats tend to predominate. When selecting shoes, i personally follow the following criteria: 1. ability to stop on wet grass in potential purchase 2. comfort level of my feet in potential purchase 3. price of potential purchase.
on a final note, we don't play on turf unless we have to, so don't spring for turf shoes unless they're equally as good on grass.
