Quote of the Day | 0621
Does it matter — if the shoe fits? Well yeah, if it doesn’t truly fit. There are four main differences between men and women’s feet: a narrower heel cup (where the shoe grips the heel), a wider forefoot leading to women buying smaller shoes to fit the heel and then getting squashed in at the toe, higher arches and — further up the skeleton — wider hips leading women to pressure-load their feet differently. For a generation of players to be wearing boots that aren’t designed to take into account these differences is a nonsense. Particularly at a time when we are trying to grow women’s sport.

then female footballers should have an alternative’
