It's been a while since I have played soccer so I was pretty out of it when it came to buying shoes. The link below are the shoes I bought. Are they good for a left and right back positions? I am left handed and left footed. Is the left side or right side better for me for a back? Can someone provide me a link for good shinguards? As I said I am pretty out of it when it comes to equipment. The shoes were 85 at the time that I had bought them. One last question, what is a good shoe for a back position?

If all shoes are shoes(boots, cleats) then why do some cost like 80 bux and some cost like 200 like the predators.

The harder kind, one that protects your foot more. You don't have to worry about controlling shots etc.. When I play defence it's all about getting stuck in so the really flimsy leather is crap for at the back.
Get some solid shinnies as well

I believe you should seek a left back position, as a side back must be able to provide good crosses. Crosses from side backs should be curling away from the GK. It means you must cross the ball with ur left foot from the left flank and it occurs the same on the right.
For a side defender, I reccomend you with adidas predators, coz it is specially made to give better kicking accuracy and running comfort. Besides, a side back should attempt to produce quality crosses like Gary Neville, Steve Finnan, Ashley Cole and Fabio Aurelio. I believe that adidas also produces good shin guards. You should check some information at www.shopadidas.com. Oh yeah, I was really disappointed with nike. Their shoes are xtemely uncomfy coz their design is specially made for running only. It has terrible protection for the foot anyway, that's according to one of the users that I asked, as she broke her ankle 3x. Even the surgeon recommended her adidas shoes and equipment rather than nike.

you know to call them boots, right? as for shin guards they used to do an ankle support attached to the guard all round protection for a defender.
