Traction is extremely important on outdoor grass fields even when conditions are excellent. A little bit of rain, and natural grass or field turf can become slick and dangerous. Even days after a moderate rainfall, natural grass fields can remain muddy. Soccer requires more active footwork than any other sport, which is the primary reason why a good pair of cleats is a necessity.

Browse youth soccer cleats from all the leading brands, offering the best support, traction and durability that modern athletic shoe technology can provide, in a full run of kids' sizes.

Indoor or street soccer requires much of the same strategy, agility and stamina as outdoor soccer, but it does demand different footwear.

Kids' Soccer Cleats Buying Guide

The right youth soccer cleats will provide comfort, traction and protection on the field. Read through these key features and details before you buy to find the right fit:

Kids' Soccer Cleats Construction

There are a vareity of components and parts that make up youth soccer cleats:

Uppers: The upper is the soft top part of a cleat. Lightweight and low-profile uppers are a great option for youth soccer players, as they provide a great "feel" for the ball.

Midsole: The midsole is the inner component of a soccer cleat that provides cushion and shock absorption.

Outsole: The outsole is the bottom of the cleat, which provides traction, protection and structure.

Youth Soccer Cleat Fabrics

Soccer cleats made of synthetic fabrics are a popular option for youth players. Synthetic fabrics are lightweight, versatile, durable and easy to break in. Pro Tip: Choose a soccer cleat fabric based on what is most comfortable for your player. Keep in mind that cleats with leather uppers often stretch and break in over a longer time period, while synthetic fabrics tend to hold their shape longer.

Kids' Soccer Cleats for Different Playing Surfaces

Different soccer cleats are designed for different playing surfaces:

Firm-ground soccer cleats are a great choice for young players who are new to the sport. These hard plastic cleats usually feature molded studs on the outsole and are very versatile for a variety of conditions.

Indoor soccer shoes are for indoor leagues, and are closer to traditional athletic sneakers with flat outsoles.

Check with your coach or local league to find out which type of soccer cleats are right for you.

Kids' Soccer Cleats Laces

Youth soccer cleats with asymmetrical lacing systems provide a larger kicking surface. Some cleats may also have a textured upper that promotes better grip of the ball.

Kids' Soccer Cleat Colors

Kids' soccer cleats are available in a variety of designs and colors. Match your team colors or gear up in soccer cleats that match your favorite color.

Youth Soccer Cleats Fit

Soccer cleats should have a snug fit, you'll want about a pinkie-finger's worth of space between your toe and the end of the shoe and enough space to avoid your toes pressing against the upper. Pro Tip: Soccer cleats that are too big or too small may cause blistering and prevent you from playing your best. If your youth soccer player is still growing, you may need to get a new pair of cleats every season.
