Sharpen Their Footwork
Kids’ soccer boots are an essential part of their kit. To choose the best pair, start from the surface. Kids who play on artificial turf need boots with a turf outsole. These have little nubs on the outsole for the right amount of grip. If they play indoor or street soccer, then flat shoes are best. The gum outsoles are ideal for the hardcourt, but also urban surfaces, like pavement. For field soccer on natural grass, kids need firm-ground, or FG, cleats. The molded studs provide plenty of traction for natural ground.
Next, consider the position they play. Goalies benefit from boots with exceptional traction for those sudden sprints and game-saving dives. Kicks that offer comfort and speed work well for strikers. Midfielders and defenders need cleats that can do it all.
A pair of slides is an added bonus for any kids’ soccer kit. Little ones can slip them on before or after practice to prolong the life of their cleats. Slides also come in clutch for post-game showers and resting and rejuvenating tired feet.
