    Can understand the sentiment here - I've gotten blades into the legs and hands etc. playing football and it's not nice! That said I do wear moulded blades -never wear the metal ones - I use studs instead.



    This depends on the surface - I wear moulded studs in the summer - for hard ground, I find the moulded studs absorb the impact from running on hard ground far better than studded boots - on the other hand I wear studded boots during the winter and crappy months - soft ground means I get better grip in the mud etc. and also less likely to slip than on moulded studs.



    I must look into this more because, imo, it depends on the surface you're running on. I did my knee playing tag rugby - it was a freak accident (the majority of people who get the injury do so from being hit by cars according to google! That said I'm convinced it was because I wore metal studs on rock hard ground - I just don't think my knees could take the shock - I was turning and put my foot on the ground to spring off it and it just went.

    Barring that I've never had an injury I could put down to boots or weather so i have limited information.

    It's an interesting topic though - the science that goes into sportswear nowdays is crazy!

    When playing sport, injury happens from planting your foot on the ground and turning your body quickly. Sounds about right with what happened to you.

    Yeah, really interesting. Your body goes through so much stress when playing sport. Having the proper footwear effects the whole leg/body. Gotta make sure its right.

    Just spent the last hour listening to Sufjan Stevens. Perfect music for the Monday blues (aka my version of the Sunday evening blues)

    Thanks for that depressing thought. I have AT least another 2 21st's this year and after that it is going to be 30ths and engagement parties etc.

    :(:( I am getting old, not fun!

    I had chocolate today too (and cake and apple tart and pizza, the joys of there being lots of crap food in the house and having the hungover "I want to eat everything in sight" feeling)

    Morning, I'm tired and feel like my immune system was shot over the weekend. I need sleep and to not be in work.

    Yup, I'm a barrel of laughs today :p
