Football cleats are a key part of any player's on-field protection. Their football footwear must provide the right level of stability, traction and fit. This is especially important for developing players. Remember, never select large youth football cleats for kids to grow into. Cleats that are too large can pose an injury risk to players.
Keep in mind these factors when purchasing kids' football cleats:
- Leather, synthetic leather, polyurethane or Pebax® uppers provide superior weather protection and durability for aggressive play.
- Molded cleats are recommended for youth players, and perform well in a variety of field conditions. Always consult league requirements to learn about authorized cleat types.
- Internal sock liner promotes fit and helps manage sweat to keep them comfortable.
- You can choose from low-top and high-top football cleats. Low-top cleats are lighter in weight, while high-top cleats provide better ankle support.
Many youth football cleats come with the same breakthrough features as their adult counterparts. For example, some cleats come with molded EVA or foam liner. Built-in TPU plates promote strength and stability, while specialized uppers are both lightweight and durable.
To maintain their cleats on the field, try using cleat grip or leather conditioners.
