In the hectic modern everyday life, we are used to eating improperly and unhealthy. Even the air we breathe is no longer clean. In order to compensate at least a little for the damage that the environment does to our body every day, we need to exercise. Sport is health and discipline, and what is more important than that for us? Of course, we want to pass on these habits to our heirs. One of the most popular sports is football, and fortunately, most children like it. Although they have fun and play sports at the same time, our beloved children do not always realize that they can get hurt, so parents are the ones who must provide appropriate equipment and shoes. Today we will talk about kids football boots, as well as which are the most popular brands.
Kids football boots are important not only to ensure the necessary safety for our children, but also for their self-confidence and a more dedicated game. This way they feel like real football players and not just amateurs, so it is extremely important to choose the right model for our child. Now we will look at everything on the topic.
Material. As for the material, football boots have a unique composition, because of the high standards they must meet. The upper part of kids football boots is most often made of high-quality synthetics or leather, which provides excellent strength and ventilation of the shoe. In addition, the shoe must be light and not burden the foot. The lower part of these models has characteristic spikes made of plastic or metal. They are stuck into the grass and thus provide greater stability on the field. I just want to add that metal spikes are not recommended for children under 15, because this can deform the child's foot.
Size. When talking about children's shoes, we cannot rely only on the child's words, because most often they "fall in love" with the design of the shoe without caring about the size. Our task is to approach it responsibly and choose the right size for them. Each manufacturer has different standards and there are often discrepancies in size, so we must check ourselves whether the shoe fits the child's foot well. To do this, press the toe of the shoe with your finger while it is on and feel if there is still a distance between the tip of the toes and the tip of the shoe. The shoes should not be too wide, because such models are made of hard materials and this can cause injuries to the child's foot in the long run. Kids football boots should not be tight either, because this can lead to deformation of the toes or toenails, and we do not want this to happen. Choose wisely and check everything!
Types and varieties .This is the most important part of the article, so keep reading. When we talk about football, we always imagine shoes with spikes on the sole. However, this is not always the right choice. According to the structure of the playing field, we can divide football boots into 3 types.
1. Football boots for playing on hard ground
2. Shoes for playing on soft surfaces
3. Grass shoes
Football boots for playing on hard surfaces. For example, if the weather is bad, the coach will most likely take your child to train indoors in a hall. There, the area is smaller than a standard stadium, which means that your child will make more movements and sudden changes in the direction of running. In this case, you need to provide the necessary shoes suitable for hard and dry surfaces. Football shoes designed for such a terrain have very small and pressed spikes arranged randomly on the sole of the shoe. You can also use them for training on grass, but they will wear out significantly faster than those that are designed specifically for natural or artificial grass. Most models, however, have an all-rubber sole resembling a regular shoe.
Shoes suitable for training on soft surfaces. As the name suggests, these are football boots suitable for wet and muddy areas. They have reinforced soles and studs, which can be replaced with others if necessary. Here the studs are also located unevenly on the surface of the sole, with the largest number located in the front of the shoe, for better stability in the case of soft terrain.
Kids football boots for playing on grass. They are the most commonly purchased and are the most widely used. You can recognize them by the large number of low spikes. This helps for good balance on the field. Such models are resistant to dirt and wear. Of course, there are also models that are mixed, i.e. suitable for different surfaces and surfaces.
Colors and prints. Children pay the greatest importance to the color and prints of football boots. Every child has his own favorite team and football player and tries in every way to support his idol. Therefore, choose the color of the boots according to the child's preferences. This way you can be sure that your heir will be happy and his self-esteem will increase.
Let's now see which are the most popular football boots among children.
Cristiano Ronaldo's shoes. Many little boys like Cristiano Ronaldo and everything related to him. Including his shoes! It's no secret that he is a big fan of the NIKE brand and you can often see him with such football shoes. Red, gold, black, green and yellow are just part of his collection. This is a good choice when you want high-quality shoes.
Lionel Messi's boots. This is the next "superhero" that our little footballers want to look like. His favorite brand is ADIDAS. PUMA and SPORTSDIREC are also among the preferred manufacturers of football boots. When choosing such products, you can be sure of the quality of the product. Other famous footballers are Robert Lewandowski, Ronaldinho, Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Kaka, Thierry Henry, Francesco Totti, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Luka Modric, Thomas Muller and others, so if your child is a fan of any of them, there is enough information on the Internet about their boots.
In addition to football shoes, we should not forget about the socks that are characteristic of this sport. Look for high-quality long socks made of natural materials that eliminate moisture and odors. For greater safety of our children, we can put knee pads under the socks. Have fun and be responsible when sending your children to the football field.
