$Soccer Cleats: Do They Prevent Injuries? With spring sports gearing up, St. Louis Children’s Hospital physical therapist Gabrielle Griffin, PT, DPT, discusses how choosing the right soccer cleat can make a significant difference in preventing foot and ankle injuries in young athletes. • A proper fit can prevent unnecessary movement within the shoe, reducing the risk of ankle injury. • Dynamic fit collars, compression bands, or high-top designs offer additional ankle support. • Choose cleats with a stable sole plate and good traction to prevent slipping. • Comfortable cleats with adequate cushioning can reduce strain on ankles during play. • Select cleats appropriate for playing surface: firm ground, soft ground, or artificial turf. • Break in new cleats gradually to minimize the risk of blisters or discomfort. When your child has a sprain, strain, jam, or minor fracture, visit one of four Orthopedic Injury Clinic locations for a same-day appointment. You’ll receive immediate care from WashU Medicine orthopedic specialists, including on-site X-ray, splinting, and casting. We treat kids ages 5 and up. Need help finding a pediatrician?
