Question Number: 30406Law 4 - Players Equipment 5/11/2016RE: Competitive Under 12 Coach Moreno of Redwood City, CA San Mateo asks...Is a player allowed to wear indoor shoes to play on grass or turf fields? I had this happened this weekend and I did not know what to do. Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol The only thing the Laws require is footwear (and that all equipment must be safe, for example, not have any sharp edges). Shoes is shoes.

View Referee Jason Wright profileAnswer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi It is not an issue to wear indoor shoes in an outdoor game. Most modern soccer shoes have the quality of indoor shoes anyway with the addition of cleats. The Laws do not specify the type or quality just that footwear must be worn. So not an issue for the referee and it should be allowed. Now it might not be the smartest decision should it rain with limited grip.
