Speedstud

The Mitre speedstud is proven to give the wearer improved running acceleration speeds of up to 40% compared with a standard round stud.

Developed by Mitre and tested by the Imperial College, London, the speedstud has a unique pyramid shape with a flat edge perpendicular to the toes, providing better grip and a starting block platform for the player to push off from when beginning to run. This improves the traction between the boot and the ground, in turn making you accelerate at a faster rate.

The speedstud is particularly effective in soft ground conditions, where traction is difficult to obtain.

Finger Protection

Mitre's finger protection spine provides goalkeepers with increased finger stability by giving a flexible yet protective barrier between the fingers and the ball, resulting in fewer injuries and more confident saving.
