What type of running shoes are acceptable?
All NFL Combine workouts will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium, the home of the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have installed a state of the art playing surface known as “FieldTurf“. This synthetic field is a hard, fast playing surface on which a variety of different football shoes can be used. We strongly suggest finding a similar surface near you where you can test to see which shoe you prefer to use when running your 40 yard dash, shuttles and participating in the position skill drills. You are allowed to use any tennis shoe or approved football cleat. Any cleat worn by participants must be a NFL approved on field shoe worn by football players during games. Track spikes, metal spikes or elements similar to a track spike will NOT be allowed. Nike, Adidas and Under Armour are the only football licensees permitted to show visible branding /logos. Non-licensed footwear may be worn; however, unless otherwise approved by the NFL such footwear cannot be commercially identifiable. You may want to bring more than one type of shoe to ensure you are as comfortable as possible.
