Also depends on the weather, long stud shoes are good when it's raining and when the ground is muddy. short stud shoes are good when the ground is hard.

Apart from that, the shoe thickness is also very important, for people who have " soft " leg. they need to wear hard football shoes while those that have " tough " leg can wear soft football shoes.

hmm...need I to continue further?
You seem to forget that some of the worlds best players are from brazil, and didn't even have money to buy shoes. They've learned how to play the game barefooted. Same goes for most of the Nigerian players. Wearing shoes will probably mean less painful toes to them, but that's about it, it defenitely doesn't enhance your skills, your speed, or your technical abilities. Either you are born with the talent to play this game, or you're not. Putting on comfy or expensive shoes will NOT give you that little extra to make it to the pros, that's all in your feet. There is no such thing as a shoe+5.
