During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Portuguese forward Pedro Neto's modified cleats sparked global attention, revealing a longstanding practice among athletes to address heel discomfort. The modification, which involves cutting off the back section of cleats above the heel, aims to reduce pressure on sensitive areas of the foot. This practice is not new; professional soccer players have long customized their equipment to manage conditions like Haglund's syndrome, a bony growth on the heel bone that causes pain and inflammation. The article explains how such modifications are necessary due to the sport's demands, where even minor discomfort can affect performance. While cleats are regulated, players use 'loopholes' like cutting heels or adjusting sock cuts to alleviate issues. The case of Neto, who wore two pairs of modified cleats, highlights the balance between regulatory constraints and player health. The piece also notes that soccer shoes are highly personalized, with models like the Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite being popular for such adjustments. This practice underscores the intersection of sports science, player welfare, and equipment innovation in professional soccer.

Toronto FC, which has struggled with a severe injury list this season, has appointed Adam Brett as its new director of player health and high performance. The club has been without a dedicated sport science head since Cesar Meylan left for Indonesia's national team, leading to frequent absences in key players. Over 12 players were sidelined during the World Cup break, with seven missing the May 23 game against Chicago. General manager Jason Hernandez acknowledged the injury burden as one of the worst in the league, impacting high-impact and high-investment players. Brett, previously with Tottenham and Brighton, brings experience managing injury crises. The club also plans to invest in training facilities to mitigate climate-related injuries. Despite recent roster additions like Nelson Palacio, Toronto remains four points below the playoff line in 13th place, needing to strengthen midfield and defense before the shortened 2027 season.
