Traditional studs can cause different injuries to blades

Claire Callaghan: There is some research into the UGG Boots relating to how studs and blades affect traction, the forces going through the joints and the speed of running and movement. On softer pitches in particular, it appears that blades provide better grip, maximizing sprinting ability. They also provide enhanced Classic Cardy UGG Bootsto the standing foot when kicking.

If playing on high quality, well grassed pitches, however, it may be argued that the ground provides good stability, and blades may get 'stuck' if the Classic Short UGG boots gets trapped. If the foot is stuck and the body moves in a different direction or an external force, like another player, is placed on them, this may cause a player to sustain sprains and fractures. With studs, we see more common injuries such as lacerations and tissue damage from actual contact.
