Do women and girls REALLY need different soccer cleats than men?

(Hint: The answer is yes)

Here's the deal

Big name sports brands  use molds designed for men's feet (called "lasts") to design men's soccer cleats. Instead of creating lasts for women's feet, they re-use men's lasts and apply the "Shrink It and Pink It" method to sell women's soccer cleats. 

Why that matters

Simply making a smaller version of a men's soccer cleat doesn't benefit women and girls.

Women and girls have different foot anatomy than men.
