Your performance depends on your comfort, ability to cut/change direction at any time, and optimal support so you can be at the very top of your game. Your soccer cleats affect your game, and we're here to make sure you take home the gold. Everyone is built differently, and everyone has different needs. So, the best pair of soccer cleats for your friend may not be the best choice for you. That's why it's important to know the best shoe for wider feet, the one for those with a history of knee problems, and the best option of the latest series produced. We've got a little something for everyone, so you can snag the perfect pair (and that winning goal.) So, make sure you check out this quick guide before you glide out onto the pitch in your new pair of soccer cleats.

Our first choice is a winner that we guarantee will get the job done game in and game out. For a medium-intensity user (think two to three days a week) Puma's 'King Top Di FG' is the perfect pick. This super lightweight shoe (11.9 ounces) boasts PUMA LITE leather uppers, complete with quilted vamps, GRIPTEX ankle lining, and their trademark fold-over tongue for a flat, smooth surface to strike the ball. Plus, its lightweight polyurethane bi-density out sole provides fabulous protection and durability while remaining ultra lightweight. Its molded (as opposed to screw-in) styling and quality material make-up make this shoe ideal for those playing in wet conditions. And, its traditional Puma styling, with the thick white stripe down the side of a black cleat will make your competitor's think twice about taking you on! Known for its reliability, these tried and true cleats come in at $114.99 retail, and as low as $99.99 on sale.

Taking things up a notch, for the serious, everyday player, we're looking to Diadora's 'LX K MG 14' to get the job done. This ultra light, water resistant soccer cleat boasts kangaroo leather for an elasticity that lasts, and a smooth non-stick touch every time. Its anti-stretch and anti-slip microfiber lining, couple with slip lasted construction for a tight knit fit. For those who need room for inserts, do not despair: Diadora's soccer cleat's even got an easily removable cotton insole, supported by absorbent EVA foam. Its Ergos SlipLast anatomic foot bed is just what the coach ordered for maximum comfort and support. Boasting maximum stability from its MG 14 outsole (complete with Axeler technology), its Tech Allot frame connects directly into the triple density polyurethane sole.' Its fourteen fixed studs will definitely keep your feet firmly planted to the ground. With a full price tag of $109.99, you can nab these serious performers for just $64.09 if you hit the sales just right.

For those of you with thinner feet, Nike or Umbro tend to be your best bets. (Look particularly to Nike's 'CTR360 Maestri FG Men's Soccer Cleat' for the latest technology and fit around. Whether you're someone who likes to just kick it around every once in a while, or a true footballer, it's always most important to pay attention to your specific needs, and look for the shoe that suits you (and, not the other way around!)
