A shoe that's right for you
The shape of the women's Eskudo shoe was designed based on scans of women's feet in order to fit you best. Also, following feedback from female players/testers on the court, the shoe tongue was redesigned to be entirely from mesh, which is softer and more breathable.
Lastly, if you want an even more personalised shoe, you can have your name or number inscribed on your shoes at the Workshop at your local Decathlon store!
Want more protection and robustness from your futsal shoes? We've got you covered.
- The sole is reinforced on the inside of the foot for added support and stability.
- The upper is higher and reinforced at the back of the heel to provide you with greater protection and support.
- On the inside of the foot, the side reinforcements and robust PU material protect your shoe from premature wear; no more need for tape!
- As for the sides of the shoe, the straps provide extra support of the foot when lacing up.
A futsal trainer sole, or soles?
In addition to their futsal-specific outsole, these shoes have an insole that was specially designed for futsal:
- It is pre-shaped to provide more cushioning.
- Made from micro-perforated and breathable material that allows heat to escape.
And the outsole?
- It is made from natural rubber for more solid footing on smooth court surfaces.
- The Circular System increases cushioning at the heel.
Benjamin, Kipsta product designer, tells the story of a shoe specially developed for futsal:
"It was exciting to go beyond 11-a-side football; we didn't want to content ourselves with adding a futsal outsole to a classic trainer. Instead, we looked for elements that characterise futsal, and added them to the mix.
The first idea is often the best, and there ended up being few changes between the shoe's initial drawings and the final product. Which was great! Everything that we put in the drawing we were able to implement. The result was a shoe that truly lives and breathes futsal."
A shoe designed for futsal—what does that mean?
Here are some details of this shoe designed for the technique and intensity of futsal:
- The overstitching on the front of the shoe makes it more robust and better able to handle the sudden changes of pace while playing futsal.
- The non-marking sole is designed to leave no marks on the parquet floors of sport centres.
- Enjoy the choice of a fabric or synthetic upper depending on the model!
The Eskudo: Futsal to the core
Escudo means shield in Spanish and Portuguese. Both are countries where futsal is very popular. Tiago, our product manager, explains the choice of name:
"Futsal is a high-intensity game with a lot of movement. It's important to protect players, who need more cushioning. We wanted to emphasise the protection and robustness provided by this shoe."
How did we test this shoe in the field?
"We were fortunate enough to be able to test the shoes on the Kipstadium courts in Tourcoing, right where they were designed. We were especially fortunate to collaborate with female futsal players and our partners at Decathlon. We found their input and feedback helpful in improving the shoe and making it well suited to women's feet."
