What are spats for in football?

Football Spats are a product designed to be worn over the bottom of a football player's shoes to provide support and protection to the ankles. They are made of stretchy, breathable fabric and feature a non-slip bottom to help prevent slips and falls during gameplay. The spats can be worn under or over the player's socks and are designed to fit snugly and securely to provide maximum support and stability. They are available in a range of sizes to fit different shoe sizes.

How to put on football spats

To put on football cleat spats, follow these steps:

  1. Place the spats on a flat surface and make sure they are facing the right way up.
  2. Slide your foot into the spat, starting at the toe and working your way up to the ankle.
  3. Adjust the spat so that it fits snugly around your ankle and foot, with the elastic bands sitting just above the top of your foot.
  4. Repeat the process with your other foot.
  5. Once both spats are in place, double check that they are seated properly and that they feel comfortable and secure.
  6. You can then put your shoes on over the top of the spats. Make sure the spats are not bunched up or twisted, and that they are lying flat against your feet and ankles.
  7. Tie your shoes as you normally would and you're ready to go.


It's a good idea to practice putting on the spats a few times before you use them in a game to make sure you are comfortable with the process and to ensure that they fit properly.

Are spats good for football?

Spats, also known as cleat covers or football spats, can be a useful addition to a football player's equipment for a number of reasons. They can provide support and protection to the ankles, which can be especially important for players who are prone to ankle injuries or who want to prevent such injuries. The spats can also help to keep the feet and ankles warm during cold weather games, which can help to improve performance and prevent injury. In addition, spats can help to keep grass, dirt, and other debris out of the cleats, which can help to improve traction and stability on the field.

Overall, spats can be a good choice for football players who are looking for additional support and protection for their ankles, or who want to improve their traction and stability on the field. However, they may not be necessary for all players and may not be suitable for all types of playing conditions. It's always a good idea to consult with a coach or trainer before making any changes to your equipment.

Do NFL players wear spats?

It is not uncommon for NFL players to wear spats, also known as cleat covers or football spats, as part of their football equipment. Spats are designed to be worn over the bottom of a player's shoes and can provide support and protection to the ankles, as well as helping to keep grass, dirt, and other debris out of the cleats. Many NFL players choose to wear spats for these reasons, as well as for the added stability and traction they can provide on the field.

However, it is ultimately up to each individual player to decide whether or not to wear spats, and they are not required as part of the official NFL uniform. Some players may prefer not to wear spats, either because they do not feel they are necessary or because they prefer to wear their cleats without the added layer. Ultimately, the decision to wear spats is a personal one that each player must make for themselves based on their own needs and preferences.
