View Referee Debbie Hoelscher profileAnswer provided by Referee Steve Montanino It's up to the referee to decide if they are dangerous. If he says they're not dangerous then I suppose you can use them because they are footwear.
Traditionally, referee's don't allow this - but it really all comes down to the judgment of the referee at your game, and probably the size of the studs on the bottom of your shoe.
My question is - why would you want to wear them? They are clumsy and in my opinion offer poor control of the ball.
