With such a large selection of football boots available for kids, ranging in price, style and purpose, finding the best football boot can be a serious challenge. We've done the work for you so that your child can show up to their first training session looking like a pro.

A good football boot will be sturdy, lightweight and comfortable and include features that will exemplify the skills that your child is already showing on the pitch. While boots won't change your child's skill level, they can help to give an added boost in many areas such as ball control, agility and traction. When choosing your child's boots, it is recommended to go up one or two sizes to accommodate your child's growing feet and thick socks.
