The main difference is in the outsole: while outdoor soccer cleats have studs, futsal shoes lack studs and come with a durable rubber outsole.

The reason for this big difference lies in the pitch.

Soccer is played on the grass, while futsal and indoor soccer are played on hard courts or turf.

Position and playing style

Depending on your position, whether you are an attacking player or a defensive one, you might want to consider different models that better adapt to your needs. Goalkeepers may have different needs from other players.
  
Attacking players usually prefer lighter shoes that allow for more agile movements and a good strike area.

Defensive players, however, usually focus on the protection and durability of shoes since they are in closer contact with their opponents.  

Goalkeepers like shoes with traction, as they usually need to repeatedly move laterally. That’s why additional grip and traction in the outsole are very important to them.

Good fit and comfort

Comfort is very personal and depends on each player's anatomy and needs. Your shoes must fit properly and be neither too tight nor too loose, as both extremes may produce excessive friction and be unpleasant to wear or, even worse, lead to injuries.

Senda’s footwear catalog offers different models that have been developed to cover different players’ needs.
