I sponsor a young lad in The Gambia with bits and bobs for his farm
but he is also a keen footballer. He keeps getting injured because
he plays on sandy pitches and his boots he says are rubbish.
Is there a boot designed for playing on this sort of pitch?

I think AG (artificial grass) boots would be best for that surface. But maybe ankle supports too? Depending on what is causing the injuries.

Sandy will mean bumpy I suspect, the boots won't make too much difference sadly. A firm ground pair with very short studs and some ankle supports may be the way forward.

@DezB
Thankyou very much for the offer! I will message the chap and get his size. What sort of tread do they have, short studs?

Ah, how annoying - this is the type of sole I was thinking would be good, but I can only find 1 boot! Must’ve given the other as a dog toy

but! I do have these mouldies, which may be suitable? Obviously would clean em up. Top quality kangeroo leather.. slightly small 10

@DezB

thanks again. Unfortunately he needs size 41 but if you would still like to sell/donate the pair you have I'm sure someone else in his team would benefit.

Yes, mate - they're no good to me. PM your address and I'll clean them up and send on. 🙂
