soccer cleats

Grass-gripping athletic shoes

Soccer cleats are athletic shoes with studs or spikes on the sole, designed for traction on grass fields.

The studs—typically molded plastic or detachable metal—grip turf during quick cuts and stops.

Outside the United States, they're called football boots or simply boots: I need to break in my new cleats before the match.
