Step 1: pick the right shoes for your pitch
Most 5-a-side games in Lebanon are played on artificial pitches, where TF (turf) shoes with many short rubber studs are the usual choice. For natural grass, choose FG (firm ground) boots. Full breakdown: turf shoes vs football boots. Athletic Jungle stocks the Nike Tiempo TF ($65) and the Nike Mercurial Superfly KM Edition FG.
Step 2: grip socks
Grip pads on the sole keep your foot from sliding inside the boot on quick turns. Read what grip socks are for.
Step 3: base layer and shorts
Many players wear compression shorts under training shorts. See what compression wear is.
Step 4: layers for winter training
For evening sessions in the colder months, add a half-zip or hoodie for warm-ups, and a puffer or fleece jacket for before and after.
Step 5: recovery footwear
After the match, change into slides. The Nike Mind 001 was designed by Nike for exactly this before-and-after moment.
