Following up on MajorLazor's post, soccer cleats (or "boots" as they are known in football circles) will also be less durable than a football cleats because the leather is more like a glove leather to allow you good touch on the ball with your foot. Soccer shoes also may not have as much foot support as a football show. "Cleats" can be either molded studs or screw in studs. The molded kind are what you would typically see in a pair of football or soccer shoes. Screw in studs are typically longer, sometimes metal, and are for natural fields that are wet. In an NFL or college game in the rain, you may see the equipment manager changing out the players' studs for longer studs.
