- Committee insists brands and retailers ‘must do better’
- Downward trends in girls’ enjoyment of PE also a concern
Sport “must do better” when it comes to making football boots specifically for female players amid a high number of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in the women’s game, an influential cross-party committee of MPs has warned.
In a powerful report, the women’s equality committee criticises brands for making only a “handful” of boots specifically designed for women’s bodies – and expressed concern that those that do exist are rarely stocked by the UK’s leading sports retailers.
