Parents!

Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to our exclusive page devoted to helping parents pick out the right footwear for their young aspiring soccer stars. As a parent, former professional player and a youth coach, I know the absolute importance of finding the most appropriate footwear for young players. Trying to keep updated with the latest releases, technology and developments in footwear is probably not a goal for most parents and that is where we come in.

The first place to start before we continue is our detailed Complete Guide to Buying Soccer Cleats. It is jam packed full of quality information on what to look for in a boot and where to find the best deals. Before you go having difficult conversations with your son or daughter about boots (especially when you know they are going to want the $300 neon yellow pair) read the guide! Paying more money definitely doesn’t mean you are getting the best value, plus we have key tools and tips to help you save a bundle of money.

Below you will find some general information and answers to commonly asked questions we receive. I hope it helps you out when it comes to researching new boots and I look forward to sharing some important knowledge with you!

Common Questions

Why are boots so colorful? What happened to Black boots?
When you walk into a soccer store or look at listings online, soccer boots are often displayed against a white or black backdrop. As a result, companies started using bright colors that are vibrant and easily stand out, differentiating their products from others.

Thankfully, there has been a slight switch in direction over the past few months, and now black boots are more of the “in thing.” Take for example the recent Nike Academy Pack that was released. Yes, there is hope!

What is the most important characteristic of a soccer shoe?
Comfort. Without a doubt, you need to find a pair of boots that your child feels comfortable wearing.

Should I buy the most expensive boots?
Definitely not needed, in fact expensive boots are usually designed for a more professional level of play and lack durability. The mid-tier release is often the boot that provides the most efficient level of performance.

How many pairs should my son/daughter wear in a season?
That varies across several different scenarios. For example, what type of surface will he/she play on? How many games are there in the season? Will they be training every week? In general, one pair of Firm Ground boots should sustain a 20 game season, but it is always wise to have a back-up pair.

How do I know I am buying the right size?
Soccer Cleats fit very similarly to normal running shoes. In general, it is a good idea to order up a half size for youth players to allow their feet to grow comfortably.
