Do you think different kinds of cleats make a difference?

Maybe a small difference, but not much.

It makes no difference. The skill is in the feet not the boots. Just make sure your boots are comfortable. No boots will make you dribble better, run faster or shoot harder.

Sometimes they make a difference, some boots like Nike, are designed mainly for strikers. Other boots like Adidas are designed for defenders, it's weird but true!

It all depends what position you are in my opinion. I am a left back, left midfield (wing back), so I run a lot. I wear extremely light boots as I find it easier to run past players.

I'm a goalkeeper and I wear Puma Kings! They're light and I can really get my foot behind the ball in them.

Cleats make a huge difference for me as a striker. I have three different sets of boots which I use depending on the weather, the ground and the material we are playing on. Rounded studs are a lot better on softer ground as they sink fast and have a small area making it easy to push off. Longer wider studs are a lot better on harder ground as there is more area to get a grip on a harder surface which is harder to break. I have two types of boots, one type has longers all round while the other has rounded at the front and longer at the back. My third pair are wider all the way with longer and smaller in the center which work much better in longer grass.

My third pair are wider all the way with longer and smaller in the center which work much better in longer grass. Cleats (Soccer boots here in Ireland) make a huge difference. 6 studed boots/cleats are for wet weather while "Mouldies"/rubber cogs are for dry weather. You also have blades although there's some rumours going around Ireland at the moment that blades increase the chance of a player doing his cruciate ligament. There's not a lot of research to back up this claim but it is being researched at present. RE boots making you better I think it may be a placebo i.e you might be more confident wearing a certain type of boot but it's not the boot that actually makes you play better. There used to be a huge marketing drive by Adidas a few years back with the Predator boots/cleats that David Beckham wears saying they help you curve the ball better than other boots. Personally I never found much difference.
