Soccer Referee Turf Shoes

Wear turf shoes that are made just for you.

Soccer referee turf shoes are exactly that. They are made just for the soccer official. Your needs are different than that of a soccer player, so your soccer footwear should reflect that. Right?

Style and Function

We all want to look good on the soccer pitch. It doesn't matter if we are a soccer player or a soccer official. But as a soccer referee we also want to make sure that we get the comfort and fit we need to support our feet. You know what it feels like after you have been refereeing all day in a tournament. Those dogs are tired. So you should expect your turf shoes to help you, not hurt you.

Choices

Although it has been recognized that a soccer official has special turf shoe needs there are but a few options presently available. I have found the following:

Diadora

Diadora Referee TF men's soccer turf shoe. This shoe matches perfectly with Diadora®'s referee apparel choices. Designed by a referee for referees, it is made using:

• A water resistant Suprelltech and Double Mesh mesh upper for excellent breathability.
• An anti-stretch liner and anti-slip rear liner.
• And a removable anatomic cotton insole with shock-absorbing EVA foam.
• Mostly black with white along the side of the sole.
• 11 Ounces in weight.

Lotto
