MPs are investigating the lack of boots designed for women and girls, amid concern about injuries.
Sports scientists have said the use of boots created for male players could be putting women at a higher risk of injury.in women-only and gender neutral products but retailers were sometimes reluctant to stock them and there was lower consumer demand, and awareness, of the products.
Ms Nokes added: "Football brands are making welcome progress on supporting the needs of female football players, but this needs to be better reflected on the High Street and online. The committee asked major brands about their approach to the design, manufacture and marketing of football boots and how this could help prevent avoidable injuries.
The committee also raised that several boots that are designed for women can cost over £200 more and asked what the barriers are to producing more affordable boots for women and girls.
